Just like any carpet mate, keep em a little warmer though, as for enclosure once again just like any other carpet they are capable of growing up to 8-10 feet, so 4feet would be a start for an enclosure size. There is a pair for sale on reptiles down under too Simone (Johnbowemonie) is selling her pair for $400

I've never seen a darwin that big!! I've had a few that I would have considered big at 7foot, but maybe theres some really big ones out there? anyone got any pics?

Cheers Rossco.

These guys are what I consider the poor mans Jungle, but I reckon as far as colouration goes, there are not alot that come close to one of these guys after a fresh slough.

Now, if only they were a little rarer, I'm sure people would pay 10k for one!
