These guys are hard to find sometimes, they blend in perfetly with the leaves. My mom has had these 2 Elongated since they were about 2 inches long and they look to be female. Maybe I will be breeding Elongated one of these days
RedfootsRule said:How do you care for them? All I read of them is conflicting...Some say rely heavily on fruits (which seems like the way to go for me, being that they are the deep-forest kinds) and some say rarely foods, lots of greens instead....What do you feed them like? This is a species I just LOVE, I've thought about getting a pair a few times. If I get another species, it will likely be these...If I ever find a captive-bred of very LTC pair, that is =/.

@Peter, everyone in my country feeding elongata and forstenii a lot of fruit. They can even feed 100% fruit every day when no greens or weeds available. For me I feed mine 50% fruit and 50% greens.

That's a very nice pose and make me wonder if he did the pose to poo, because I see the poo there. It's really similar with my forstenii, they like to climb a lot. I just wonder with the pyramiding I see in the picture because I heard elongated and forstenii are not really prone to pyramiding even under care.
