just got home a lil while ago from doing some snake roadcruising, went downstairs and found 2 eggs out of place, and 2 lil baby satanics clinging to the top of the container. both males, of course id prefer females, but i still have plenty of eggs to go. they're great looking too, not like any other CB's i have, and lots of notches in the tails.

pics coming up soon.

I have found the first month is the hardest. After that they grow like weeds. thats specific to phantasticus and ebanaui for me though.

for the most part, i havent had any trouble rearing hatchlings. in all, ive had a total of 3 CB satanics ever die on me, most of those in the past year. there was one of the first that i ever hatched that prolapsed and bled to death (as far as i could tell), there was one last year that stopped eating, and there was the one that seemed to develop some sort of nerve problem where it became agitated very easily and constantly bit at itself.

but as long as you have tiny crickets or fruit flies, and can keep your place fairly cool, it's not impossible. takes a lot of attention though, especially when they have incomplete sheds. the toes are a pain to get unshed bits off of.

Wow! That first baby has some amazing patterning, but that second one has a crazy amount of notches in its tail. Congrats on the babies. You're a lucky guy. It's breeders like you that are really going to help the captive bred population of Uroplatus thrive. Keep up the good work! :D
