Keep one side consistently moist with sphagnum moss while allowing the opposite side to remain relatively dry. They enjoy hiding beneath cork bark and within deep leaf litter. Good airflow is important to prevent stagnant conditions while maintaining adequate humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1849\" data-start=\"1540\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1564\" data-start=\"1540\"\u003eBehavior \u0026amp; Breeding: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1849\" data-start=\"1540\"\u003eThis species is fairly active and often visible during the day.
