Has anyone had any luck on breeding these?

I really need to know what their requirements are for successful breeding.

Temp, humidity, light cycles, enviroment and anything else anyone has on breeding this species will be greatly appreciated.

As I gather info, I will be writing a care sheet. I will credit anyone who gives me good info.

Just figured I'd throw this pic up here, since I saw mine going at it tonight:

Derek,

do you keep them together all the time or just for breeding? also what size of enclosure do you keep the both of them in?

i was speaking with someone and they said that males and female will fight and that you need to give them something large to breed in. i do not know how true that is.

congrats on the breeding!

I would like to know as well.

What temps are you running in your tank? Humidity? Lights and cycles?

And yes, tank size.

My male and female have never fought, been together 4 months with me. A year with previous owner.

Please. thank you.

Hi Jimmy,

I keep 1.2 in a 18x18x24 tank, its well planted, lots of cork hides, and then sticks of varying diameters.

I had them all kept individually while I was raising them up (these are CB animals) and then I put them all together yesterday and saw that last night. This will be my first year breeding them and so I don't want to say to much about breeding info, since I am still in unchartered waters.

I have one GE T5 plant/aquarium bulb overhead for the plants, the geckos themselves could probably care less if there is light since they sleep in the cork tubes all day.

I don't provide any external heat, my room varies temps with the seasons and so that cycle seems to work so far with the other Crytodactylus species I breed. 12 hour light cycle during the winter, 14 hour cycle during summer.

Temps are around 70 as a high during colder months, with lows in the mid-60's and then in waremr months my room will be 80-82 as a high and then drop to low-mid 70's at night.

I just mist the tank every evening, humidity is rather high anyways due to the plants, peat moss substrate, and wood in the tank.

Thanks Derek

appreciate the info.

Thats pretty much my setup as well. Fake plants right now though. Just bought some live to get humidity up.
