Default Easter came early this year

After a frustrating last year I finally got some good eggs. I was keeping the adults for 2 months cold and dry. The pictures speak for themselves.

Notice the male biting the female.



And after some waiting I found these.





Kind regards, Tim

Congrats! Looks like a great egg deposition site. Good luck with the incubation, and I am looking forward to seeing the hatchlings.

Congrats.
Good luck hatching them! Hope you have better luck than I did with the eight eggs that my girls laid.

Thanks,

Congratulations with the breeding and finding eggs. That is great to see. It's interesting to see the male biting the female....I had read that Uroplatus don't typically do that. Maybe the pietschmanni do though? It's also interesting to see such nice clean white eggs...I'm used to seeing the dirty rolled eggs of phantasticus and sikorae.

Good luck incubating! I hope for the best for you.

Thank you all! Crossing my fingers to get some nice hatchlings in few months.

Kyle, this shows us how much we still have to learn about these geckos. I heard of males biting females during copulation, but it was the first time I saw this in pietschmanni. The eggs are clean, because they were laid in a clean area, between leaves of a plant.

Kind regards, Tim

Thank you Oliver! I also cross fingers for you, hope it will be a successful year. For now it looks promising, the other female should also lay their eggs soon.

This is the result of searching through the terrariums, pietschmanni can be very productive and even more are on the way. The females lay the eggs around every 35 days. Now I only hope some of them will hatch.
