Satanic Newby, few questions

Birdhead1982 Sep 12, 2004 07:59 PM

Hi everyone, i just got two satanics today and did research on care and all that. But as far as breeding them i was curious about their habits. I read that they have a breeding season. Is it necessary to induce it by changing temps or something? I have a bunch of crested geckos and have been successful in breeding them. Do they ever lay their eggs in a container with substrate? Anyways any info would be great, Thanks!!

Thanks for the info, one last question, do you know how long breeding season lasts as far as how many clutches do they normally lay?

Nice to have you join us! Congrats on the new satanics as well,
they are awesome geckos.
I myself can not answer your questions on them, as I have and am trying to breed uroplatus henekli.

But there are many on here that do have satanics that will certainly help you anytime, They are a great bunch.

We all share our veiws and thoughts on all our different species, very interesting and enjoyable.

One thing is law here, ya have to post a pic of your satanics for us(if ya can) or we wont talk, ehhehehehe
honestly we do love to share our pics, I have to get some up myself.

Enjoy!

yea, eve, quit being such a hypocrite! you're always demanding pictures but i havent seen your henkeli in a while! i think you're becoming too devoted to your collared lizards! TRAITOR!

Dan - nice to meet you. yea, theres a few of us around here with satanics, and we share whatever we can with each other cuz if one person is successful, hopefully it can help the rest of us out!
