2004-01-31 Thread Julie Bergman
Hi Martin, It is not a general rule that you don't let gecko eggs contact the incubation medium. With Phelsuma you don't want the eggs to sit directly on the incubation medium. Their eggs do not grow the way other types of gecko eggs do, so the amount of water they can absorb is very limited.

Uroplatus malama should have no spines at all except for the 'horns' over each eye. According to Nussbaum & Raxworthy's description as a new species (in either 1992 or 1994) the word 'malama' comes from a Malagasy dialect meaning 'smooth'.
