well, to very roughly get you started they sound like relatively dry terrestrial maybe fossorial. throw some structure in there for them to hide under.

a water dish is never a bad idea. if you got slings maybe hold off on the waterdish but keep them a little moister.

that's a pretty general advice, but if you haven't gotten that far maybe it will helpyou out.

read through the thread about them on here and just try to makea very simple mockup of where they live. if it were to come from the jungle you would want it moister and depending probably flood it during rainy season a bit... but i i think these are actually from a similar climate to Southern California, where i live. i think the greek islands (?) [edit: corsica? greek or spanish isle is my guess, feel free to look it up and correct me] are pretty similar to our climate and that would be drier for 6 months or so for warmer summer and cooler fall and , a rainy and colder 3-4 month winter with a rainy warmer spring tacked on the end of winter and then back to summer conditions

yeah thanks man! I had made up a theoretical scenario like that myself to try and figure it out. but it never hurts to have the power of extra minds on it! and I have recieved one Pm so far about how someone cares for theirs. I can post my findings if anyone is interested.
