Didn't know there where still some kept ! Great species for which I took care for 3 specimens at Walsrode back in the 1980s.

I wonder if they are some recent imports from West Africa?

@Unenlagia90 Yes, but since this species does horribly in captivity, it's safe to assume that all are gone now.

@Sicarius What causes them to do so badly? I enjoy seeing them in the wild on often occasion.

@Nix They only do well in groups and they are specialised insect eaters.
