ive never done it myself, but theres no set way to breed any leaftail. basically, you wanna set up an enclosure that makes them comfy, by providing the right amount of hiding space, climbing space, and jumping about space.

other than that, it's up to you.

I'm in the same boat. Got a really nice pair of phants that I'm hoping will breed one day. The cage is set up the way THEY want it; tons of cover, hiding places, criss-crossing branches, comfy floor, and plenty of food and water. So far, they seem happy and healthy. My odd pics of them don't really turn out because of all the cover and I don't want to disturb them at night (blinding them with the flash from a digi cam). My female had laid infertile eggs so that's a start.
All you can do is keep them healthy and comfortable and hope things will work out. Good luck.

the tank is setup in my opinion near perfectly, the temps are fine, the humidity is fine, they seem really happy and theyre is plenty of cover, it somettimes takes me 15minutes to find them. i suppose its just wait and see heh. thanks for the help

well this morning i saw my female mossy, that i have had for over a year and a half, in the pot with potting soil in the classic egg laying position. she layed two dud eggs about six days ago. there must be a built in time clock that tells them they should be laying their eggs, even if they dont have any to lay. they eggs seemed like they were about six days premature, i caught her while she was laying her second egg against the screen. i had pulled the male out of her cage and put him in with the female that seems to be his perfect match(physically). i think that with mossies it is a whole lot harder to get a good pair or match cuz they seem to vary so much between individuals that are supposedly within the same species. ofcourse you have to have them situated for a while before they start doing anything, but i think that theres alteast one or two people on the forum that have bred them.
