) RE:. Cyrtodactylus (Leah Kroo) Hi, I regularly breed Australian C.louisiadensis but I am unsure how similar these are to your species. I will summarise my basic breeding rules and you can quiz on finer details as needed 1. Calcium supply to females is essential. Mine lay 5-9 clutches per season and will run themselves into the ground to do it. I dust every meal for my Cyrto's in breedind season. 2. Mine will not use a moist nest box but prefer to lay in a pile of dry sand under a hide box. Hatchability seems to have improved with this method. If sand is not available they will lay amongst leaves and substrate and are often difficult to extract without damaging the egg. 3. Incubation is a mystery. I have had three eggs placed in an incubation container on the same day (clutch of one and a clutch of two) in a 1:20 water: Vermiculite mix. One hatched at 90 days, then 120 days and the final egg at 190 days. I never throw out cyrto eggs until they have exploded or grown hair. 4. I feel Uv light is beneficial for juveniles up to 6 months old, after this they do well just with regular dusted food items.
