I will post later photo's of the females, because a few days ago one of the to has lay a clucht of 8 eggs and is recovering and the other is gravid. So you al must wait a while. Because it is the best for the animals that they are now left alone.

I was also wondering if there are people in the UK that have Rhampholeon viridis?
If yes I want to know how they keep them.
I will explain how I keep them:
I use a terrarium with the following dimensions 50x50x70(h), at the front there is ventilation and on top also. The terrarium is well planted, a real bush. On the ground there are different kinds of moss and beneath the moss there is a +- 10 cm soil. I have also spread on the floor some dry leaves. Further I use thin branches with moss on it. The daytemperature is +- 22°C and a night drop to +- 15 à 17°C.
Basic hum is 70% and I spray twice a day, so they can drink. For lighting I use a 5.0 UVB tube and for warming up a G4 lamp of 20 watts.
This is how I do it.

Best regards,
Tom

    Hi Tom,
    I have just been given a male and female Rhampholeon viridis, and am keeping them in a similar way to how you have described although have had trouble keeping them warm enough until i recently added a ceramic 40w heat lamp. The female looks alot plumper than the male and i am wondering if she could be gravid? I was wondering where she will want to lay her eggs if she is, i have 1-2 " soil covered with moss on the floor. The terranium is also kept in an alcove in the wall quite low down in our living room, do you think the general traffic will be too stressful for them to behave normally?
    Kind regards,
    Lizzy
