Hi Molokai, on this pic the female doesn't look gravid to me. But normally the eggs are visible through the belly skin quite well. If she i s gravid, you need an egg laying box . This can be a plastic container with a moist mixture of cocos fibre humus and sand (1:1). The eggs should be moved to an incubator and put into a suitable moist substrate (vermiculite, perlite, ceramic granulate for gardening). At a temperature of 27°C the babies will hatch after about 75 days.
Best regards, Hanno

Thank u much siebel!!! I'll have that lay box set ..
Incubating eggs just like in the pics or just direct to the perculite no cup?
Thank u

I put all my Diplodactylus eggs directly into the substrate since they need a contact to a slightly moist medium. The method on your pic I use only for hard shelled eggs ( Geckonia chazaliae et al.)

Hey thanks .. Pic is my S ciliaris ciliaris eggs so the D Galla is direct

Hi Molokai,
if your method on the pic is succesful for ciliaris eggs it will work for the galeatus eggs as well. I saw new types of incubators here in the forum without a direct contact between eggs and moist subtrate and they are succesful also for the "leather type eggs" of Diplos and Strophurus if only the air humidity is high enough. I just told you my personal (good) experience with incubating in moist granulate , which allows a good air circulation around the eggs.
Regards, Hanno
