the smallest enclosure ive kept a pair in is a 15 gal tall. i find the most activity from my satanics when i switch up the tanks or switch up who is in the tanks. im not keeping 4 in a 30 gal long, maybe 40. breeding uroplatus takes a lot of time and patience. try giving them a bigger enclosure so you can give them areas of lots of cover, then areas with just some branches/vines to give a lil more room to move around. mine absolutely love ficus trees, so if you get a bigger tank youll be able to fit some of that in there at least. this is also a species that cannot tolerate neglect, youve gotta spray them at least once a day, id say. i normally spray mine at least twice, once during the day and once shortly after lights go out (and sometimes right before i go to bed too). also, keep food readily available and let the female get fattened up. sometimes its still pretty difficult telling that your female is gravid though.
hi
thx for your help, i will try to but them in a bigger enclosure. i got a other male for a while and i but it whit the two other so now it's a 2.1 trio...
i always mist 3 to 4 time a day (when i wake up, when i come back home, when i close light, when i got to bed)
what do you use for nesting boxe??? i use a mix of sand and vermiculite...
thx for your help
bye
p.s. sorry for my english it's not my fist language

i dont use a nesting box actually, i just keep a real good eye on the females to see if they show signs of laying (when they spend more time than usual lurking on the ground), and sometimes i just look around for eggs. they're good at hiding them at the one angle you cant really get a good view of, so be sure to look over well. also helps to watch her weight, two eggs can make her deflate pretty fast.
Hi attchoum,
Uroplatus spec. doesn`t need uv light! Save your money and invest it in a bigger vivarium :lol: U. phantasticus needs a cold period for 6-8 weeks in winter with temperatures under 10 degrees Celicus.
Put many leafs on the ground and the geckos will place their eggs between them.
Au revoir,
Michael
