I am sad you didn't do more research about such a rare gecko before jumping into breeding them, but that is another story. I personally do not keep leachies, but they are similar in care to other Rhacs which I do keep, and I have read a bit about them.

As for now, your setups should have some leaves, and more climbing branches wouldn't hurt. They need places to hide and feel secure and get away from each other. 85 is definately hot for leachies, and any rhac. 80 should be a high end, and 75 is more ideal. I'd also be really worried about those lights in there, these geckos do not need UVB light to survive, and if those bulbs get hot the leachies could find their way up there and burn their feet.

May I ask what you are feeding them? If you are not feeding the Repashy Diet, I would suggest it.

Also, you NEED to watch CLOSELY for signs of aggression. Leachies pairs have been known to kill each other, even if they have been getting along previously for years.

This forum :http://www.forums.repashy.com/ is really the bast place on the net for anything/everything rhac. You will find a wealth of info there, and people who can answer your questions further. I will tell you now though, so you are ready for it, that you will have a lot of people disappointed with not researching more about these animals before starting to breed them.
