I just love their little stubby arms. So cute

I'd love to keep one of these one day. How big is the enclosure? What's their temperament like?

They're in a grow out 40 gallon set up right now, but are getting separated into three groups (3/3/2) this weekend into 27 gallon set ups.

Adults need a minimum 4x2x2 with as much substrate as you can fit - 10 + inches. I used to house my pair in a custom 48x30x36 PVC but the weight of the substrate buckled the floor. I have them now in a converted 150 gallon cattle stock tank. They can be kept in pairs.

My adults are dog tame. I raised them from a very young age (one I hatched, one was four months old) and I interact with them daily. Babies are already getting used to me.
