In your guys' experience, have your Uroplatus spp. reused or chosen different sites for egg laying for seperate clutches?... Has anyone noticed any trends?... Thanks, Ben

my u. phantasticus has laid 2 clutches of 2 since i got her last september. the first came the night i got her. i didnt even notice it at first, but when i got home late that night i took a look at her in the enclosure i made for her and she was on the ground (mine are always up in the branches) under a small leaf that had fallen from one of the vines, on top of some live moss. the second clutch she laid was under a small live plant in the corner of the 15 gal tank, under a small bit of leaf litter. weird thing was that one of the eggs was above ground, and the other was almost completely below ground. one of the original clutch was empty by the time the other hatched. both hatched from the second clutch. all 3 are doing well.
