Just make sure not to keep them to warm, 22°C ambient temperature is fine and a small night time drop till 16-18°C is favorable (don't drop too much till 10°C ie. when keeping outside since this is not good for their activity and appetite). Apart from that they are a very fun species to work...

I will anwser this, because Tom is in Madagascar right now and we have a breeding program going on regarding this species. When housed together in a small group (1.2-1.3) and a fairly larger enclosure, they will breed more and produce more clutches it seems. I would say a normal gestation would...

Incubation period should be around the same as furcifer lateralis, although not many people have been succesfull in hatching their eggs in the past, the only real data i know was published in Sauria 1992 and stated it should be around 230days

Update: After 61 days of gestation she successfully laid a clutch of 12 eggs without any human interference. It took her 5 hours to lay the eggs (1 egg every 15-20 mins approximately) and my entire night of sleep, but it was sooo worth it to watch it and run around like a zombie now :) After her...

first one is definately a male, you should look at the black shoulder patch and the orange/red nose, no doubt about it. best regards Joery

extremely nice animals and photos! Joery

Very very nice! I'm indeed also eager to know about the incubation method and temps.

on the ficus tree i use 1 large T-rex UV heat flood bulb (100W) which is +/- 60cm away from the basking spots and 1 or 2 26W exo-terra repti-glo 2.0 coiled bulbs to give sufficient light on one side of the tree, the other side is shade. best regards

As promised, here are some pics of the pregnant female (day 30 of gestation): and a picture for those who like neon lights! best regards Joery

Hi Brad, My substrate consists of 3 layers: bottom layer are hygroscopic granes, 2nd layer is plant soil mixture and top layer is forest moss. They leave also the tree to roam on the ground for a few minutes, especially when i mist them, but most of the time they roam on the bottom branches...

@ AJA: no tr. cristatis is a very calm species that likes to stay in the trees. They wander around in their large ficus tree, and on the ground floor of the enclosure (which is 1m20 L x 1m20 W x 30cm H). The 30cm height keeps them in the enclosure and they never risk to jump over the edge out of...

All animals are now between 18 and 23 cm total length, so in a few months they should all reach their adult length I'm still keeping them as a 2.4 group without a problem. You only need to make sure you seperate them a bit in the enclosure when you hand-feed them to avoid problems ;) since they...

Very nice babies! I'm looking for this species myself, it's one of my favorites.

Very nice!

The incubation method which was used is keeping them on room temperature, with a slight drop at night till 17-18°C. The eggs were incubated in very moist vermiculite (a bit too moist i noticed afterwards which resulted in premature rupture of a few eggs), so my other eggs are now incubated in...

Update: The juveniles are 1 month old:

Does anyone have data available about the gestation period of this species? (apart from the book from Petr Necas or the publication in sauria where it says it would be around 40 days) The copulation occured 29 days ago and you can clearly see the eggs pushing against the skin now and shifting...

Thanks! I'm really proud of these guys. cheers

update:

He looks great Brad, his tail is normal. You can check the nutritional reserve by looking at the 2 small "cushens" on their heads. best regards Joery
