- One of the most popular arboreals in the hobby due to their voracious appetite and Halloween coloration
- Preferring to stay hidden, they can occasionally be seen on daytime walkabouts during times of low traffic in the room their enclosure is in.
- While they lack urticating hair, which would make them good for keepers with sensitive skin issues, they make up for this with lightning speed and one of the worst bites of a New World species.
- Preferring to burrow as slings and travel upwards as they gain some size, they are among some of the easier to house arboreal babies
