They were in a 10 gal. tank in a mom + pop store, not looking so great and offered for a cheap price I jumped right away. They were already full size [ about 6-7" ] Rocky is the one with the bright orange tail, Rainbow is the other. Rocky died about 7 months ago but Rainbow is still going strong.
Lol, most people prefer furry critters but some of my friends enjoy seeing these guys. And what kid isn't amazed by reptiles ?
These are cool little guys, I hardly see them for sale anywhere but I'm glad because they were no doubt wild caught. The pet store had them in a 10 gal. tank and they were partially hidden under the green " carpet ." Might have had a fake plant + a stick but that's about it. I made a palatial palace for them with lots of rocks as well as driftwood. They are somewhat communal in Africa from the little info I found on line and spend a lot of times under rocks, coming out to feed on small insects or mate.
