lineatus hatchling

[Jackp308]

Well Ive be anticipating my eggs to hatch while searching incubation times and I looked over and seen a little girl has hatched.Not the best photo , she just crawled out of the dirt and I didnt want to frighten her. Thanks for looking.

Heres pic of the parents.

Congratulations! Did you incubate the egg in situ?

 

[Jackp308]

Does situ mean hatched in vivarium? If so no, She laid them in the center of her plant on Sept 10th. I placed eggs in small plastic container about 10 inches deep. Filled with moist coco fiber. I buried eggs about 3 inches from top. Incubated on a shelf low to the ground in the dark. Room temps fluctuate daily from 72-77f usually from day to night .

Very nice.

Do you separate your pair during the cooling season or just decrease the temperature?
Thanks,

Hi , thanks everyone!

Im still very excited about her. This is my first season with them so I have not separated them ever.They're housed 2.1 as the previous owner in 2x2x4 screen. Not 100% on sire for obvious reasons but have a good ideal it's my younger male. My observation tells me lineatus are not as persistent in bothering the female to mate. Unlike sikorae and ciliatus that like to chase the females down until they submit. The days are still warm here in the room but the nights are getting significantly cooler.
Im hoping the other hatches tonight.

FYI, in situ does not mean in the terrarium, per se. It actually means "in place" or "undisturbed".

 

[Jackp308]

Thanks for clearing up my confusion Miguel. At first I thought it was some type of incubation medium.Then I was searching under the term situ and not in situ. Makes sense now.

True, but in this context it means in the terrarium as that is where they would have been laid.

Congratulations, looking forward to seeing the other hatchling when it hatches

 

[Jackp308]

Still trying to clean her up a bit. Imagine she'll take care of it on her own. I rather not frighten her and drop a tail or something.

Those vertical stripes are very slimming... she looks really cool, man.

One more pic

She's sleeping very awkward.

I find the adults some times sleep in very strange positions some days.

Heres a shot of a their home. There are sleeping normally here though.

Congrats! I love lineatus. A very under appreciated Uroplatus in my opinion. Glad to see you having success with them!

 

[Jackp308]

Christmas came early for me. She's here! The other egg hatched some time in the night. The first hatchling completed a shed last night too.
Thanks everyone for the compliments. I also like to give thanks to this site and its members that have helped in share and provide proper information.


Happy Holidays !!!!

Hooray for you, Jack ~

Glad that Santa had no trouble finding your home. Nice to have 2 Christmas hatchlings to begin the holiday season on a grand scale :biggrin:!! Congratulations...hope you're stoked......

Congrats! What absolutely stunning babies!

I'm hopelessly infatuated with this species myself and am going to have to pick some up for myself at some point...

 

[sikorae]

Huge congratulations Jack, really well done on hatching them both
