Thanks for the plug Jared! I'm sorry to say that this isn't an uncommon story these days. Much like with chameleons, WC Uroplatus can require a tremendous amount of work during acclimation, sometimes taking months. Having acclimated over 150 WC Uroplatus thus far, I have a lot to say about...

How are you preparing the blend? :) Cheers? Luis

Hello there! T. deremensis females are notoriously stubborn layers. If she continues to pace at the bottom of the cage, my suggestion would be to try the trash bin method. Fill a trash bin with about 10" of soil, at room temperature. Pre dig a hole, about 3" wide and 4-6" deep. Place her in the...

Can you post a picture or get a weight on both of them? I'd be interested to know how old they are as well. One thing to remember is they like their basking lamps and they like it to rain often. We keep Senegal's in the same system as our deremensis and quads, which gets misted three times per...

Ryan! Wonderful shots of such a beautiful little subject. Keep up the good work! :) Luis

I'm glad you made it back safe and sound. It looks like you all had a fantastic trip and I can't to see some photo's. :) Cheers! Luis

First off... Welcome to the forums! I'm always glad to see folks asking these sorts of questions before making any impulse decisions, so kudos! :) Doing the research up front can save you a lot of money and frustration, not to mention saving you the heartache of learning "the hard way". Now...

From my experience, the band that runs diagonally is indicative of a male. Females tend to have a "saddle" type marking rather than a full cross body band. Is this the same individual you posted on FB on couple of weeks ago? :) For the benefit of the forum, Ive included a few images for...

I use a cheap Tamron lens with magnifying filters... http://www.amazon.com/Promaster-52mm-Close-Up-Filter-Set/dp/B00091UA96 Though, Ryan is absolutely correct, you do get what you pay for. It's shocking how much easier it is to deal with a quality lens! :) Thanks, Luis

Thank again everyone! Jared, we've had four U.lineatus hatch in the past two months and I'll be taking some pics of them very soon. I just need to get them settled in before bugging them too much. :) The merus are something else! They have such funny personalities, like mini tanks. :)...

Some species can go quite a while without food, but species, such as C. senegalensis, who prefer much higher temps and thus having a more active metabolism, seem to require some sustenance to keep from going hypoglycemic/lethargic etc. Sometimes Vitamin water (I've never been a fan of Gatorade)...

Oh she's just lard butt! No matter what I do, she just keeps on the weight. It's also how she's sitting that makes her look obese! :p She really looks no different than when you last saw them. :) Harry, we do have the mantis, but I haven't even begun to attempt to sex them yet. I have provided...

Hey Everyone, It's been a little while since I've posted much of anything. The chams and geckos have us plenty busy! But I was able to squeak out a few decent pictures of some of the crew and a few recent images of some of the geckos we work with. :) First up are the T.j.merumontanus... One...

Hey Bokaru, It isn't often mentioned when it comes to Senegal's, but they should be showered with water at least 3 times per day. Also, if you're having issues keeping the cage warm, try a higher wattage bulb in conjunction with wrapping a few sides of the enclosure. The important thing to keep...

This is something you discuss with your vet... Luis

We have a few images in our gallery. Not full enclosure shots but the point is there; dense foliage with strong branch support. :) Luis

I agree. As far as Florida shows go, Daytona is about as big as it gets down here. The other shows are much smaller and don't usually require more than a half a day. :) Luis

Congrats Lynda! It is well deserved. :) Luis

Wow, double congrats! Here's to a uneventful successful incubation! ;) Luis

Quads are mortally afraid of cameras! It's why I don't have many to post these, it just stresses everyone out! :P Looking good! ;) Luis
