Allow the enclosure to dry slightly between mistings to reduce the risk of respiratory infections. Diet: Feed appropriately sized frozen/thawed mice or rats every 10–14 days for adults.

Hatchlings are typically bright yellow or brick red before gradually changing to green as they mature, usually between 6–12 months of age. Their prehensile tail and heat-sensing pits make them exceptionally well adapted for hunting from elevated branches in rainforest canopies.
