i would definitely reccomend it as long as you can have them in a species tank, they are great to watch feed and prowl around, if you need any info on how to keep them i would be more than happy to help

sorry for your loss

If you know that the average life span in captivity is 6 months, why keep one in the first place?

Well, they are very cool residents, but yeah, they live fast and die young. I've had three different ones, and it's amazing to watch them interact with the other animals in the tank. Sorry you lost yours, but you still have the education that keeping it provided.

Cheers,



Don
