I picked up my first satanic nearly a week ago at a local herp show. She was well hydrated and a round body with no signs of ribs. I had a ten gallon with moss for a substrate, 1/4 in bamboo sticks and a golden pothos ready when I got her home. Humidty is at 80 to 90 percent and the temp between 70 to 75 with a small drop a night. I mist the cage 3 times a day. I have been feeding her 1/4 inch crix. I drop one in at a time and wait for her to lunge and reset her position to where see looks like she is scanning the cage floor for more then I drop in another(usually three a night. They are dusted with calcium with D3 and I have used a small amount of herptavite in the mix.
I found that the one at a time method keeps the crickets from having time to bury themselves in the substrate. I am not new to herp keeping but this is my first uroplatus and I wanted to make sure that I'm going about her care right. She was WC and I am still concerned about parasites. I am gonna pick up a male this sunday at another show and was wondering if I should house them seperatly until I'm sure they are established.

just want to emphasize the humidity and temp requirements. humidity is good, don't let the temp get up to 80 degrees F.
what show did you get them at?
you should try to spray it as much as possibly to induce drinking instinct as well.
I got her from the pittsburgh show. From Regal Reptiles rather pricy but theirs looked better than any others their. I will be attemding the western pennsylvania show this sunday in hopes of finding a male, Thanks for the feedback
well good luck on finding a male, honestly it should be easier than finding a female. we want pics!!! haha. but yea, if you dont have luck finding a male, there are many people (including myself) with more males than females, so keep your eyes open, someone might unload some males at some point....
I'm hoping on posting some pics this sunday after the show. And if I cant find a male and you are looking to unload a male contact me at jedjwagner@yahoo.com.
thanks for the feedback
