i got some sweet new mossy/lichen bark that i found and sterilized for both cages. i was also practicing lighting/no flash pictures.

here's one of the other female, some pictures are flash and some are not. do you see the males head hanging in a few of the pictures?

other female... males head is in this one too

Great looking geckos!!!! I can't wait to see what the babies will look like from these guys. Good luck with them.

the new cage is a TON nicer than the old one with much more realistic set-up and all live plants. hopefully i'll get some action.
also, hopefully get some action with the lineds, the female has layed probably 10-12 infertile eggs in the year that i've had her and is constantly jumping around the cage waving her tail around with no response from the males. i'm going to try separating them and lowering the temps for a bit ane reintroducing them.

Lazy males seems to be one of the main problems in Uroplatus breeding. Mimicing the seasons I have heard can help correct that problem. I myself have the opposite problem. My male Cork-Bark if constantly pestering my female. They mated again right after she laid her eggs. I feel kind of sorry for her some of the time but I keep her in a big cage with plenty of cover so I guess she could hide if she wanted to. Anyway good luck. I'm sure eventually you'll get some eggs.

Wow. I love the clouded looking pattern. That pattern seems to occur in fimbriatus and henkeli as well. Is it associated with a certain subspecies of mossy.

there are no certain " morphs" or subspecies associated with any uroplatus as of now. i'm sure it will be atleast 5-10 years before anybody even starts trying to selectively breed them due to their low numbers or offspring/year and difficulty to breed.
there are uroplatus sikorae sikorae and uroplatus sikorae sametei ( sp?) they slightly in size, and mouth coloration.
