Don't see these very often!
I have a small group of the myself, they are proving to be a bit more difficult than other Cyrtodactylus I have bred. The females really need the calcium!! Also I think they do better if they are kept drier (but still high humidity) if that makes sence.
Best of luck, and maybe we can compare notes if either of use gets any good success.

Sure Derek, I know a guy who is incubating 6 eggs right now, so good news may be coming.
However they don't seem to need particularly big amounts of calcium to me. They are not even much interested in snails. The female laid a few (unfertile) eggs, but as you can see she's still healthy.

Yeah I offer mine snails, however they don't seem to get eaten. I have got one clutch of dud eggs, but that about it.

I think they get a high amount of mineral/calcium in their natural habitat and why they need either supp's or comparable ground cover i.e. travertine/limestone sand or powder. Also humidity under these structures have little organic material for bacteria, hence the humidity needs but issues with too much moisture in captive conditions.
