How do they behave?!

[Galion]

Right before it's time for laying there eggs?!
I'v got a group of U.Henkeli 1.2 where both of my females are pregnant!
They have been down to the groundfloor of the terrarium lately and poked around in the groundmaterial, could that be a sighn that it's time?

Anyone here got a clue?

Would be very thankful if somebody knew!

Yes, that is exactly what mine do. Make sure that they have a good place to lay their eggs. Mine seem to like a little bit of moss cover to hide themselves under while they are laying. Hope this helps!

I'v heard that the incubation period for Uroplatus is very long, but how long?
I'v heard somwhere between 70-90 days.
Can that be correct?

Best regards Peter

I've had some lineatus go over a 100 days

My U. phantasticus and U. sikorae eggs incubated for between 62 up to approx 75 days. This was at room temp on a shelf, so fluctuations from 70-77F.

 

[geckosrus]

All four of my henkeli babies that I hatched out this year took exactly 122 days to hatch at temps fluctuating from 72-74 F.

Yaouch!!
That's a long time!!
A well, there's nothing else to do than wait then I guess *Hehe*
Hopefully I'll get more eggs soon too!
