I started to keep the uroplatus phantasticus since 05/07/2010.
Last week on 03/01/2011 i got my first hatchling!!!

I really want to thank you all for the help on this forum.

Here are some pics of my first youngster.

STUNNING! Congrats!
Would you care to share your methods of incubation and your breeding set-up's/temperatures?
Any info would be great!
Thanks!

great looking phant. what are you keeping him in?

[Mallick]

I fill a bottlecap in dry sand and put this in soaked vermiculite. The egg is put in the bottlecap with dry sand. Daytime temp 24°C and night temp 20-21°C. I have three eggs still incubating: 1 for end of januari i think and two for late february. I found one open egg in the enclousure as well but haven't seen a hatchling yet...

I'm keeping him in a small faunabox with ecoearth on the bottom and artificial climbing plants all round. This faunabox is put in a bigger enclousure with the same parameters as for the parents.

Currently im working on a nursing enclousure with removable walls in between.
Will post result in a few weeks.

Mallick,
That looks like an unusually large hatchling. Did you take any weights, hatch weight and egg weights?
BTW, Well done!

ALAS i did not take any weights. Really should do it for further research. All i can say is offering a snail to the females once in a while really makes them flare up!
