Mangroves!!! feeding habits: normaly they are active at twilight and hunt among the branches for birds,nocturnal lizards,and they will occasonaly come down to nab a rodent. If yours is not takeing food try scenting with chicken broth, or the shed of a lizard. I know from personal experience they will not eat w/o a hide box or under stress! babys can usualy be tempted with a brained pinkie by taping its nose gently. When it smells the blood with its tounge it will {if interested} nab it. They do require tropical humidity levels and a temp of about 88 degrees F. They are mostly arboreal and ocasionaly will come down for moveing to another tree or simply the hunting may not be to good in the trees. They do apriciate a light misting on the body and will drink from there coils.
I hope this helps and be careful!
