They look so cool

Somehow I missed your response.
Do you give them as much water as the quads? I keep my quads and graciliors pretty wet. I'm not sure they really want that much misting but I just don't know. They're newly imported wild caughts coming from a place that is in its rainy season so it won't hurt now but I worry I'm misting them too much.

I have drainage on all my setups to I tend to give everyone long mistings throughout the day but I don't know if that is really necessary for them.

Hello I have a couple hoehnelii's and one just had fourteen babies.
I was wondering how you did with them and also if you would be interested in trading a couple or possibly breeding.
I have 1 adult male and two females I think plus the babies that were born on Thanksgiving. Thanks any input would be greatly appreciated. Im in Florida

@jajeanpierre, do you like the book MOUNTAIN DRAGONS? I'm thinking of getting a copy. You can keep Hoehnelli like Gracilior? I thought they needed colder temperature drops at night, like 50's.

I really like the book Mountain Dragons, if nothing else it's a great coffee table book: wonderful pictures and some valuable info on the locales of this and a few other species in the region. Janet no longer is keeping T. hoehnelii and would not be a source of information on the species. I'm sure she would agree with me on this.

Nick, what ever happened with this project? I know a lot of people have problems with this species.

Did you see @bobcochran comments? I did not do well with hoehnelii. I sent them all to someone I felt would do a better job with them. I kept them too much like graciliors and they did not like it at all. Bob is doing really well with them. I love the MOUNTAIN DRAGONS book.

Thanks for your personal opinion! I thought so, it is just not cold enough where I live. I think that I will get a copy of MOUNTAIN DRAGONS soon, thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. Yes similar to others with problems but I also had a lot of interest at the time in the species so I ended up selling most of my collection as well.
