Housing and Care:

We suggest “Horizontal Kit – Mini Bug Box Acrylic Enclosure”

These are little sub-adult males (which means they will get their vibrant colours with the next molt).  They will need tiny baby crickets – feed them 3 crickets every 3-5 days.  Remember to mist the enclosure at least 2 times a week or make sure your scoria water bowl is filled with water at all times if you bought the mini bug box jumper kit.
