I'm trying to find info on these amazing little guys, and lots of it seems to be eather contradictory or rather vague in terms of temp and other details. Any words of wisdom would be very helpful. Also ideas on incubation.

keep your ebaunies in a 20 gallon long. temp shoould be about 70-78 (lots of fluctuations, mine can go as low as 65),humidity 65 -70 % or higher. feed them every other day and they will be happy. not sure on incubation time because i have had no babies yet. put a fan on to circulate the air and then you will have no mildew and mold grow in the tanks. this has worked out great for my five ebanauni and two phantasticus. where were you thinking of getting them from? there arnt that many places that carry them anymore.

I've had 1 female for several months, and shes doing fine. I've just acquired 1.2 more, one of which is gravid. I got them from the classifieds, the owner of which claimed to have had them for some time. The gravid fem is one of the really orange, so I've got my fingers crossed. The only thing I don't have that you suggest is the fan so I'll install that forthwith. Thanks for your thoughts.

I just read one of youre other posts in which you mentioned you use UV lighting on yours, could you talk a little more about your set up?

on my tanks are 25 watt (on big tanks, 15 watt on small tanks) incandecent tubular type hagen exo terra uv daylight lightbulbs. these go on all my tanks regardless of what is in there. i cange them every year unlike my chameleons which get changed every 6-8 months. the lights are on for about 12 hours a day and when it starts to snow up here they will be going on a rest period cycle to try and induce breeding. i am going to be building a rack system to hold all my tanks and with that will be putting 48" flurecent striplights over several tanks at once instead of on set per tank. to combat possible stress because of the brighter florecent tubes the tanks will be heavier planted to fight stress. any ideas (opinions) feel free to tell me.

Have you seen the new book on keeping Day Geckos by the folks at Leapin Lizards? Lots of great stuff about lights. I'm wondering if some of it might apply to Uro's. Do you supliment with calcium? Which and when? Oh.. what do you feed?

havent seen it yet.will get when i can find it.as for calcium my lizards get it for three feedings on and one feeding off. its a mixture of nekton rep and t-rex 2.0 calcium /no phosphorus.

Great thanks for the tips and your time, I'll let you know how my gravid turns out. I got the Day Gecko book thru Living Art Publishing, I think. Their add is on this site as a sponser. Kind of spendy but worth it I think.
