Nice to have you here. I personally have a reversed trio of uroplatus henkeli, which I would love to have breed. So far My female has layed some infertile eggs.

But soon

There are many here that have had wonderful success and lil ones hatch lately, so I'm sure you will be hearing from a few.

Nice people here to share with !

Enjoy

Yea i have been getting infertiles from my Mossys and its really frustrating. i hope to get some good eggs so i can post pics of hatchlings, but it will happen sometime. I just really want to work with my henks but they are very fresh wc, also my fimbriatus i hope to breed to. thanks alot

just keep the females fat and their cages humid. feed them as much as theyll eat. my female mossy layed a dud last week and on just last night. my female henkels ready to drop a few though, i wish she d take notes from my standings. those things are like clockwork.

whats size cage are you using?

Hey Josh!! I am almost done with how I keep my Henkeli(the paper). I will email you a copy tomorrow!

I have my pair in an 80(about) gallon melamine(spelling) cage that I built. It is 3 foot tall X 2 feet wide X 2 feet deep.

Also if the leaf-tails are the slightest bit dehidrated they will not lay fertile eggs or eggs at all, you probabally already know this though. I put a waterfall in every adult leaf-tail cage that I own. I see my adult pair of Henkeli in there all the time drinking and playing in it. I also mist them 2 times per day, night and morning.

Thanks Erik
