Hello all, I've been searching for some time and can't find anything that answers my questions. What are the absolute lowest temps for incubating tokay eggs? What are ideal temps and humidity? Are there any down sides to incubating artifically? Thanks, -Armen

I was wondering how low you guys go with your Uroplatus incubation temperatures. Right now I am incubating U. Phantasticus as well as several U. Sikorae eggs. My temperature range is from 65-70, does that sound good to you all? I am keeping the eggs in the room that I keep my Phantasticus and...

Hi All, I'm wondering if my fellow breeders/keepers would mind posting their feeding schedules for both babies and adults/breeders. Also, please post on weather or not you have had any of your animals become obese, etc. Thank you! -Armen

I am considering ordering a colony for my Uroplatus colony... I was wondering if any of you guys have ordered from this source before and if anyone has had problems with parasites in their snail colonies? On a side note, I introduced my Sikorae groups today, witnessed breeding in one of my...

When do you guys stimulate breeding with your Uroplatus? Thanks, -Armen

Hi All, I'm considering purchasing glass cages for my larger species (Henkeli, Lineatus) and I'm wondering what you guys feel works better, screen or glass. I know there have been threads like this in the past, but I would like a specific question answered. Have you seen different breeding...

I thought it might be useful for everyone to post their cooling information and our methods in cooling that may have been successful or even new methods that we're just trying for the first time this year. Please, if you can, offer temperature information, amount of misting per week, lighting...

Hello, I'm wondering what temps you guys use for the breeding season, and also what temps work well for the cooling season. Would a 50 watt bulb be sufficient on top of the cage? Thanks, -Armen

As you can see, there was a leaf covering half of her body, hence the color difference. As skinny as these look, the female is actually very heavy. Almost as heavy as my Henkeli girl! After almost being bit, one cute shot came out ;). Thanks, -Armen

Already have fertile eggs sired by him ;)... Thanks, -Armen

So my collection is becoming quite sizeable, and by spring 2012 I plan on having around 30+ Uroplatus breeding for me. Needless to say, its going to be quite time consuming to spray each of the cages multiple times a day in order to properly stimulate breeding. My question is, what misting...

Some of my collection. These will all be part of my breeding group for 2012. I've got some big things planned, stay tuned...

Hello, So last season my Pietschmanni group produced a total of 8 fertile eggs, 11 eggs total. Some of the eggs are going on around 6 months. I just had one crack open the egg yesterday, and after a couple of hours I decided to help the little guy out. He was fully formed, but dead when I...

I just hatched out my first Sikorae on Sunday. I was wondering how soon after hatching they eat. Any info you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, -Armen

Here are some pics of a couple of my new additions. Still need to get pics of the rest. I love this male! One of the females he's with is an orange pied :biggrin:. Crazy looking female! Let me know what you think! -Armen
