Hello everyone. Last week I had discovered a hatchling in a vivaria where I keep my adult U. phantasticus during the summer. Obviously I had overlooked some eggs. I have no idea how long it was there since it has hatched, but it looked good to me. I moved it to a smaller vivaria nevertheless...

Hi there. I have a couple of P.rangei. My female was gravid after a winter pause, but laid the eggs not on top of the sand as she did with her only clutch of eggs last year, but in one of the caves they dug. What do I do now? If I dig up the sand in search of the eggs, I may break them, fragile...

Hello there. I have 1,2 U. ebenaui. 1,1 are sisters and 15 months old by now, the other female is an adult wildcatch. Both females produced eggs this winter, but they were unfertilized. My male is a bit tiny, me thinks, and shy. I often observe the two girls together, while my male can only be...

Hello there. I came across an adult female of P. rangei and while she seems to be doing fine in her temporary tank as a bigger one is in preparation, I discovered eggs in her body today. I scraped together my knowledge about this gecko in the www, and the breeder I got my girl from is more of...

Hi there. My female C. elegans is slowly getting old enough to get male company. So I'd like to be prepared and make a wetbox, but I have a few questions: -I plan to get a plastic box which would give the female enough room to turn around comfortably, but with a low "ceiling". Correct or not...

HI there. I'm keeping C. elegans, and I was wondering if they can handle low temperatures at night. I'm thinking of around 15°C /60°F at the most. Any suggestions? thanks berit

Hi there. I'm phantazising a little, and would like to ask you experienced Uroplatus breeders how many specimen of U. phantasticus you'd put in an Exo Terra tank, either 45x45x60cm or 60x45x60cm (lxdxh). I have no idea how many gallons that would be, sorry. I thought 1,2 wouldn't be too many...

Hello Uroplatus breeders. I'd like to get some U. ebenaui. In my reserarch of information throughout the web I remember having read that this species is one of the few where sexing is possible at an age as early as 3 months. Is that true? How exactly can one tell males from females at this...

Hello everyone. I'm having problems finding out how heavy (light) my lygodactylus williamsi are. No reference in books and google wasn't helpful either. I need the weight to calculate medication (they have coccidia), and obviously I don't have the possibility to weigh them myself. Can anyone...
