First Uroplatus hatchling !

It gives me great pleasure to share some pics of my first Uroplatus hatchling- a Lineatus no less ! :yahoo:
I was lucky enough to acquire four juvenile cb Lineatus two years ago from geckomeister (username) here in Canada. These are brilliant red Lineatus and have turned into gorgeous adults. I have been forunate enough to have a few egg layings since April and have been obssesively looking at the incubator, sometimes twice a day, for the last month or so. I honestly wasn't holding out much hope for a successful hatch and literally jumped when I saw this male sticking to the side of his deli cup !
The eggs were slow roasted at 72-73F during the day with a bit of a drop at night. The eggs incubated for 120 days but the second egg spoiled after 60 days or so. He is almost 10 days old now and I am a very proud papa.

If anyone has any helpful info on raisng this little fella, please post here or pm me. He is doing great so far and any additional input on husbandry, temps, etc. would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for looking !

Awesome success, and he is quite the looker. My buddy Luis (Luevet) on here is quite successful with lineatus (and other species). He's got a nifty caresheet as well.

Congrats!
