Hi Chuck,

By success do you mean keeping them or breeding them. I had some for 5 years, but I only got two clutches of eggs over all that time. And only one good egg, which hatched and hatchling was weak and died about 24-hours later. Easy to keep, difficult to breed properly.
Easy for someone who is great at keeping dendrobatids alive, not for first time gecko owners.
Towards the end I kept them separately in tubs with a peat moss base, magnola leaves for hiding and a piece of wood to climb on. They did really well in this set up. I'd miss them once a week or so and change the leaves when they decayed, changed the peat yearly to be on the safe side. The second clutch of eggs (where one was good, sorta) was produced when I put the male and female together for a few weeks. Eggs were laid in the substrate.
As Bowfinger and others have pointed out, water is a critical issue with them. What water source are you using Chuck?
