I have caught them beaucoup times, but they seem to be very sensitve and
only the very largest "make it" in captivity, and then not too well. The
small ones barely made it to the car. They appear to be "thin skinned" and
temperature sensitive, as mentioned before (subjective observation). BUT the
ones that lived ate just about anything.
