In breeding season for rough-throated leaf-tailed geckos, the captivity should be set up similar to the adult enclosure but with a larger laying box and a slightly warmer incubation temperature of 26 to 28 degrees. Rough-throated leaf-tailed geckos do not start laying their first eggs till mid-late October, which is later than most geckos.
Diplodactylus vittatus is an oviparous (egg-laying) with breeding seasons being between September through to February depending on their environment and location. The female will have clutch sizes of two eggs, having multiple clutches in the breeding season with females laying their eggs in leaves, bark, burrows and debris.
They lay a hard and mostly impermeable shelled egg which is composed of calcium carbonate. [12] These eggs are among the largest relative to female body size of any gecko. [6] Such eggs are initially pliable yet harden on exposure to air, [12] and are more elongated [13] and elliptical in shape in comparison to other gekkonine subfamilies. [12]
Female southern leaf-tailed geckos usually lay one or two soft-shelled eggs in late spring. These eggs are up to 28 mm in length. The eggs are buried in moist soil or leaf litter to prevent their drying out. Left to develop unattended, 3 months later the offspring hatch and begin fending for themselves, catching insects within only a few days ...
Adult females of R. leachianus usually lay two eggs at a time (universal trait for all geckos), having up to 10 clutches per year. [6] [11] Older females in captivity may not lay clutches in a breeding season, even when paired with a compatible male. However, older females can lay clutches over the course of their entire adult lifespan.
