Spear point Leaftail Gecko (Uroplatus ebenaui) Care and Breeding

[@moe5520]

This video is a comprehensive care/breeding advice that help me out to breed my wild caught spear point leaftails successfully. I strongly recommend watching this video and generally all video released by Frank. Thank you so much Frank.

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

That’s great! Happy to hear.

The little guy watching the wall- gave me a good laugh. Good concentration. 10/10 determination

[@HectorGarcia-kd8gq]

I am so happy that you’re back making videos and I hope you can please still keep making more videos about teaching and caring about reptiles thank you so much brother and big big shout out from gratitude reptiles

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

I’ll keep making as many as I have time for!

[@justlivingwithit]

The irony that I found your listings on morphmarket and needed to know more of these guys and the 1st thing I find is this video

[@seanmabey1609]

This video is gold. Very good info that can be applied to all reptiles.

[@JMCichlids]

Amazing enclosures! Looking forward to more videos.

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Very cool! Love your setups as well

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

Thank you!

[@mosesp6200]

Love your videos man - and the way you keep and care for your animals is just amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

Thank you!

[@ashlee730]

Very fascinating! I just recently got into crested geckos but I will be following your channel and may delve into these guys in the future.

[@hhhhhhhhhh176]

LOL hey Mr. Payne it’s me Alexandra from school.

[@jessicaaditays2456]

Awesome as always! Loved learning about this species! If you're looking for video ideas, it would be GREAT to do one of you setting up an enclosure from scratch! 👍 Keep setting that bar high for the community! 🏆

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

Thank you! I actually have an empty 18x18x24 that i was saving for just that!

[@LanceKirkman]

Those are awesome man

[@timjung640]

Bro, the eggs look like Cocoa Puffs! 😆

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

Hahah true!

[@fjm2008]

So you keep them a bit warmer than Phantasticus? Are they more forgiving on temperatures?

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

yep that's right

[@DARTGECKOSPT]

Great video ! You dust with repashy calcium plus every feeding even out of breeding season ?

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

Yes. For all species I keep.

[@DARTGECKOSPT]

@@LivingArtbyFrankPayne Thanks for answer =) and during breeding season do you give any extra calcium to females ?

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

@@DARTGECKOSPT I leave a dish of calcium out for females at all times. I’m not sure if they use it but I offer it.

[@DARTGECKOSPT]

@@LivingArtbyFrankPayne I see, do you offer them snails ?

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

@@DARTGECKOSPT not directly but many of my enclosures have tiny snails in them naturally.

[@alainacoffee3977]

Very cool! When you say they are hardier than their satanic leaf tail geckos do you mean that they are also more handleable? Can they be handled as much as a crested gecko, for instance, or is it best to not handle them? Thanks for the video!

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

Best not to handle. Just less prone to health issues.

[@davidhofman6016]

Do you keep springtails and isopods in with them or would the isopods try and eat the eggs?

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

I don't do isopods but there are lots of springtails.

[@nicholasalva2463]

Who makes the enclosure that those adults are in?

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

PMHerps, highly recommend.

[@moe5520]

Hi Frank. Thank you for sharing this high quality and and helpful vid. I’m your truly follower. You inspired me to start project breeding Electric blue day gecko. Now I’m ready to start a new one breeding this fantastic animal. I have a question for you and appreciate if you can help me on that. I just have fruit fly and bean beetles as feeder, are they enough for feeding leaftail gecks or I must consider crickets as well?

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

Happy to hear my info has been helpful! Yes bean beetles and fruit flies are too small for ebenaui once they become juveniles and adults. Good for babies.

[@moe5520]

@@LivingArtbyFrankPayne Thanks Frank. While feeding crickets are you using feeding tongs or just putting crickets inside of terrarium so they can hunt? Thank you in advance.

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

@@moe5520 just letting them loose in the enclosure.

[@moe5520]

@@LivingArtbyFrankPayne Thank you Frank. Finally I got 2pairs but not captive bred. Do you believe any problem breeding them. Is that still easy to breed?

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

@@moe5520 Wild caught will always be more difficult than captive bred of any species. I recommend acclimating them for several months before keeping them together and attempting to breed.

[@a-aron3355]

Hi I have a question I got a carpet chameleon the other day on his back left leg joint seems to be swollen because the rest don’t look like that I was wondering if you can help me figure out what it is

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

For medical stuff you would have to check with a vet. I assume it’s wild caught? Unfortunately they often come with a variety of health issues and don’t last long. If you aren’t familiar with acclimating wild chameleons then a vet visit would be about all you could do beyond good care.

[@a-aron3355]

Hello I’m very interested in any young female carpet chameleons you have there very hard to find I couldn’t find where you sell them

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

Hello! I don’t currently have any for sale, I just sold a bunch. It all goes through my website livingartbyfrankpayne.com

[@BlueSpider663]

Do you have breed them? I looking that

[@LivingArtbyFrankPayne]

I do. I talk about it in the video. :)
