   No idea really but joining a forum and asking other owners may be a good start.

   I don’t think reptile bark is the best choice. You have decided to become the owners of a little known species. It’s not common in the pet world (at least not yet).

   As for humidity – do you have a solid top or screen on the cage? (And setting temps. or humidty with a strip thermometer or round stick on meter won’t give you accurate readings – they can be off up to 20 degrees. You need a digital probe thermometer or Infrared therm. gun to set the temps., and a good hygrometer to measure moisture).

   Be sure you gut load their insects 1-2 days before feeding, and dust them with reptile vitamins and calcium powder with D3.

   As your other poster did, all I can do is offer some links.

   Good luck with the lil guys.

   Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
