Hemidactylus prashadi, H. leschenaultii, H. robustus and H. platycephalus.

For all of these 4 species, I'd like to know what follows, with quick yet accurate answers:

-adult size of the animals
-hardy or not, and if they're not, what are they sensitive to?
-enclosure size
-mistings/humidity
-day and night temps
-UVB could help?
-eggs: glued on rocks, glass, branches or buried in the substrate?
-seasonal cycling if required to breed them, and how.
-finally, pics of your enclosures?

I can't answer any of your questions on these species, but I have been trying to get my hands on some H. prashadi for a couple of years. Something about the baby coloration really grabs me. I just wish the adults kept that coloration. The only time I saw some available was late last fall when the shipping window to my area was pretty much closed. I offered to pay in full to have them held, but the seller (had apparently brought in a bunch of stuff from Europe) didn't want to hold on to them that long. If they had been offered even a few week earlier, I would have snatched them up.

Hi Gary, I am actually getting a CBB pair of prashadi soon, most likely ready to breed. I can have future babies shipped from Hamm to the US by buddies of mine. Let me know through inbox if you could want some later.

They're definitely on my "wanted list". I haven't personally dealt with overseas sales, but keep me in mind for the future if you have success.
