Hi!
I'm really glad that this pair arrived in good condition after their long journey.
This is definitely the nicest and the biggest male I ever had. I'm positive Derek will be successful with continuing this breeding project.

I've been keeping this species similar to masobe, but they definitely need even lower night temperatures.
They are definitely not easy to breed. My females produced a lot of infertile eggs. But on the other hand babies are not very problematic to raise as long as you keep them cool.

Here are a few photos of my animals to say farewell to this project.

Regards, Matjaz

It's interesting how your specimens are spiny
Need to dig out mine cause I'm quite sure they are not so rough

P. gracilis might well be a complex with possibly a few new species.

Indeed your specimen is relatively different, and the big male has a look and very particular coloring! He is impressive!
The first female looks like David's and my specimen.

How do you supplement your animals?
Have you already had problems calcic? Of minerals?
You use many snail?

In any case, very beautiful acquisition Derek and good luck in your project, it is a magnificent, but very delicate species!!!!

female

This is how my other female looks. She is WC and I think around a year or so old, so maybe not fully grown. Not even close to being as large as the male from Matjaz, but hopefully she will put on more girth to even things out.

I just keep mine like masobe, phantasticas, same diet (mainly crickets). I just have their tanks right next to the air conditioner so it gets cooler than the masobe tanks which are situated further along in the room.

This female is very different from the drawing and size (much heavier) of my striped animals. Apparently this animal is from the north of Madagascar.

Hey Oliver, I miss this picture, do you only have one female?

Here is an other example:

it's an old picture, now I only have the lined form
