I dont plan on releasing my babies any time soon... or at all. I love them too much. I have a seperate tank already set up for Gus. (thats what my fiance named him) Its a simple critter keeper for now, with lots of substrate to burrow in, a large terrarium plant/rock to hide under, a little wading pool, and lots of little plants to play with. He is only about an inch and half long, and from my research this means that he is still just a baby.
