Yeah Henri!
Big congratulations, they are absolutely amazing!

Can you provide us a photo of the enclosure?
Looks like a big blue plastic tank.

Thanks!

I will post photos of the other 3.

For now they are doing well, quie active but it's unclear if they are eating well... the enclosure is too big to check and I did put loads of crickets. (of which a lot escape...)

Here is the terrarium. In wood, painted with Tollens green paint for outside works (and toroughly watered). There is an automatic rain (not mist) system (big pipe on the right) when I’m not here (every 3 days), a drain for excess water, ventilation is done by an automated computer ventilator, on the floor it’s wood chips, heating is floor (100W thermostated to 26 C) + 5 “low consumption” 15W bulbs including one with UV output.
There is an Exo-Terra not because the birth left me one terrarium short and so one male is inside.

Thank you for posting Henri!
Where do the females hide their eggs?

[Henri]

The two I've found were in the wood chips and quite deep, not the flower pots, I think there is one more out there but don't want to move everything right now.

Do you have them getting for breeding with the help of a simulated rain time?
How long did the animals in captivity use, until the first eggs came?

best, Oliver!

It took about 6-8 month I think ; on the dry/wet period, I got them out of dry season and really simulate anything but I think I'm keeping them watering them significantly more than would be suggested using the drain + ventilation to still have low humidity.
I'm going to do a dry season in about a month, water only once a week for 2 month (not for the babies of course).

Males look to be always in a mood for love, it's the females that I think need very appropriate care.

The female ovulated while injured and dropped an egg on the floor while I catched her for medication, I guess she must have dug the other one, will have to look for it some day !

[Uroplatus]

Interesting!

Are the females larger than the males?
How long are the largest animal?
