In my opinion, two years to begin breeding is most likely an exception and not common at all. There are ways to encourage them and they do respond to cycling through warmer and cooler periods. I'm in contact with a herpetologist that has focused on Uroplatus for quite a few years so I'll pose the question to him.
If it took someone two years to confirm copulation, I would be interested in reviewing their notes to see if attempts were made to alter the environment, or introducing different individuals to each other. I've experienced the boredom issue and once another male was introduced the existing male went to town. I've separated my male fimbriatus from his two females a few days ago so I can experiment with that approach. I do have another male ready to go should this one just not be up to performing.
I've found that williamsii are very easy to get going. Once they start they don't seem to stop!
