This is one of my most favorite species. The females
get beutyfull green color, males brown with a green
stripe along their spine. They can be found at sea
level. In the wild they live on a wide variety of
plants in new growths jungle and underneath big
fruit trees.
Females: get 11cm long. Females will lay
their ova in the ground, so the substrate should
be at least 1- 2 inches deep. The substrate should
be moist but not wet, if you squize it in your hand
slightly, no water should drip.
Males: 7cm long.
Diet: Bramble,
Guava, Red/
Yellow Salmon Berry.
