Hi Nicole,

A regenerated tail will look a little different: normally, it's scalloped,
but a regenerated ptychozoon tail may be 'flat' looking. There are
differences between kuhli and lionatum, but I just woke up :), and would
have to look it up for you later, or remember when I have more coffee! I
hope you mean four females and a male; the males usually don't play nice
with each other, unless there are plenty of hiding spots, and even then,
somebody may get smacked around.
I keep them at about 85F. with a night drop to about
> 70-72F.
Your temps are OK, but I'd drop the daytime high a bit - for me, they've
done better with a high of only about 80 - 82, but they enjoy high humidity.

Excellent! You'll find these guys to be good breeders :)
As far a little, they should be about the size of a dime, and very round -
dud eggs I've had are small and a little misshaped.

If you don't mind cutting the plant, you could cut the section off, and
place it in a deli cup - but the plant may rot.....maybe you could trim it
down just to the egg part, and place the eggs on a bottle cap in a deli cup
with the vermiculite (most hard shelled eggs don't do well if they get wet.)
> 3. or any other advice???
What has worked for me (mine have always glued to the glass) is to use a
laundry scooper with pinholes poked in it and a damp paper towel on the
bottom of it, taped over the eggs. You could modify this with something
smaller to go around the plant leaf.

No, the crickets won't bother them.>

> Also: What is the incubation time of Ptychozoon?
It's going to be a while :) About a hundred days, but I've had some take as
long as 120. Check them with a flashlight in about two weeks, you should see
blood vessels and a dark blob in the middle. But it's worth the wait -
adorable babies! Just keep the humidity up in whatever you use to cover
them - they are very prone to dead in shell if it's too dry in there.
Good luck with them - if they're in breed mode, you should see pairs of eggs
about once a month.
