Good size stup for 2 Uroplatus Sikoraie

[jfitz]

Really interested in these guys and want to get somewhat of a breeding project going, whats a good size setup for 2 of them? (Full grown)

I have mine set up in a 29 gallon, and feel that it is an adequate amount of space. I haven't seen anyone ever go less than that for a pair of sikorae before. Be sure there is more vertical space than horizontal, even if that means turning a tank on it's side and setting it up that way.

I keep my pair in 50x50x100h cm, all screen.

but don't they prefer high humidity? and also what do you guys do for lighting?

In winter I misting 1 time to week, rest of the year morning and evening. I don't use any lighting for my Uroplatus, and they are all in great health (babies too).

Lower 70's are good temps for them (not sure what it is in deg. C). They don't handle higher temperatures nearly as well as other geckos do. I'm always concerned about humidity as well, and will only ever keep mine in glass tanks with only 1 screened side.

I keep all my Uroplatus in winter at 12-13°C night and 15° day (for 2-3 months), in summer 26-27°C is the max temps.
