I'm interested in getting a pair, my local pet store can get them in for 32$ but I don't know if they're worth it. Can they be tamed to handle from hatchlings (I prefer pets I can hold every now and then). Also, are they primarily diurnal or nocturnal? I've heard different answers, but I don't wanna spend the money on uva/uvb if it isn't needed. And lastly, do they make cool active pets or are they more of a dull, hide away pet? Thanks!

Don't know anything about them, but the picture on the Wikipedia looks awesome! I think they'd be hard to resist if I had the resources to house them

The only thing I know about them is that they're prone to mites because of the folds in their skins, so be aware of that. I'd love to have some someday.

Ah, it's not a big deal. Just as long as they're quarantined when purchased and, if they have some, treated properly, it shouldn't be an issue. Every new reptile we purchase has a chance of having mites. These guys are just more likely to.

I've already known about the mite issue, and the problem with them that most people don't seem to realize is they tend to be really sensitive to mite treatment :/ but has any one had direct personal experience with them?

Sorry, afraid the two of us can't help you there. Hope someone else can. If I were you, I'd look around online for some breeders and contact them - though I think most specimens are WC.
