Hey well I had more photo's but kingsnake is messing around with them.



Substrate: Bark chips, finely chopped spagnum moss and peat moss all mulched together. Layer of leaf's ontop (I use Corn Leaves, Ficus, and Spiderplant.) Should be about 3 inches deep.



Care: Feeding 3 times a week with gutloaded calcium dusted 2 week old crix. Babies eat few day old crix calcium dusted. Babies also cannot stand much too much humidity so alot of ventilation is key. Babies when hatched are about size of a dime. Spray once daily.



Breeding: Both Rhampholeons are very similar here. They lay upto 6 eggs in 1 inch deep burrows. Female then uses her frunt legs to reburry her treasure. Both are quite agressive little buggers when it comes to breeding.. Female may start hissing at the male to het him off. Eggs hatch within 6 weeks. Males get green eyes while courting and change to a white color.



Brookesia: (never had luck yet but here it goes) K, The females seem to stay in a cacoon like state for MONTHS. They never leave their perch and seem to just sit there and swell. Then after a few months the females go down amongst the leaf litter for a few days( trying to find a good next site) (I have never actually gotten babies but I believe I have some few week old eggs, fingers crossed) The females might also be goin down for brumation.(Brookesia seem to love this)



Also I have watched as one of my Brookesia stripped bark from one of my branches... that was a long day aswell so might have been my imagination (as I cannot justify why shed do this)



K I know ive missed something so if you have anymore question plz feel free to ask as this is the second time ive had to rewrite this( first one got deleated accidently) ALSO ill try an post some more pics when my photogallery clears up.(most of my pics wont show up)
