I have kept them on the coast for the last 5 odd years, their health varies abit, I have had some trouble with scale rot with the male, soon after I got them. It has taken him a couple of years to get over it fully, though this season he has been biting at his girl so he must be feeling ok. You do need to pay some special attention to cage design, basically keep them under lots of heat in a cold room, this will burn off humidity, if the room temp gets over 30 deg, and the heating is turned off, you may run into some problems. Shingles have a slow metabolism, most of the problems are slow to show and slow to heal.
