Anyone else keeping these stunning snakes we have a trio and managed to breed them this year. When i say we i mean my daughter (who some of you may know) Lauren, (Uroplatus), we were so chuffed.

beautiful snakes, not often seen. I did have some many years ago (when my collection was 95% snakes....opposite to now). Never had any problems with them although I didn't keep them long enough to breed.

Well done for getting hold of a trio and breeding them, I never did understand why they didn't become more widely available. How many eggs did she produce and how many hatched etc?

We only got eggs off the one female, she had 6 eggs but only 2 hatched. The babies are really stunning, my daughter has them for sale in her pet shop, but not much interest in them as yet, Confused

can't understand it myself, they are really pretty and something a bit different from the usual rat snakes.

if people don't know much about something they tend to shy away, I guarantee if there was a few photos posted on different forums with a little info, people would soon start searching for some Wink

Thanks Scott W, I will post some pics once i've worked out how to do it? I am used to a 35mm camera, but have recently got a digital, just need to sort out how. As a last resort I will get my daughter to do it for me, I have taken some pics of of our Rhacodactylus Leachianus, but thats as far as I've got.

Thanks I have joined a couple of forums, but still nothing. As you say photos may help, but I still haven't figured it out yet.
