What can i say? i'm speachless!!
I've seen numerous pictures of these little things but its not the same as having them in the flesh.
I tryed 7 or 8 years ago to get some of these from the states with no luck, never mind i have some now:

They look grreat!!! every pic i see of these sneaky guys makes me want to own a house full! if only i had the room. (AND THE CASH)

Will you be sticking up any pics of them in there set up?

Thanks, they are sneaky little things too Laughing

i am having small interactions with them they are not shy one is braver than the others.
At the moment they are simply in a two and a half foot aquarium, about an inch of 75% play sand 25% peat substrate and a crude Retes stack made of 3/4 inch pine (two thick) will make another with hard board later.
It is easier to track them whilst they are so small and settling in.
I will be making a 7ft x 4.5 x 4.5 corner viv for them very shortly, along the lines of some ive seen on the forum with polystyrene, cement powder etc soon as i've finished our spare room (current project Sad

)
I'll post any way at some point, cheers
