| I got a pair of juvie boyd's a little while ago now.
Humidity isn't much of an issue. Regular misting is all they need. I've not heard of skin rot due to a lack of humidity... in fact I'd suggest that would more likely be caused by too much (could be wrong here though, since I've never experienced it).
Contrary to what nymph posted above, I understand spinipes to be far more moody than boyd's. I understand them [spinipes] to be less tolerant of high temperatures also. I can't say for sure though, I've never kept spinipes.
But yes, I've got a young pair and they're both very, very different in personality. They've been separated since just after I got them due to one dominating the other, so if you plan to get more than one, you may find you can't house them together, although from what I've heard this usually isn't an issue.
One of mine is a guts, one of them doesn't eat much at all--in fact, I'm almost starting to get a bit worried about the other one, it seems to have gone off its food completely of late.
The one which is a guts even jumps down off its branch trying to get to the roaches through the glass, before I even get them into the enclosure!
Anyway, I'd suggest getting well established ones and you probably won't have too many issues.
Good luck, they're great little dragons! :-) |
