Uroplatus Phantasticus

[Xeikeness]

common name is the Satanic Leaf-tail Gecko.

She is SO tiny, possibly gravid... her head is only about as big as my thumbnail. And I have very "dainty" fingers. (My mom says I have a pianist's hands. o.O)

But anyhoo. She's had some time to chill, so I brought her out to snap a few quick pics. Sorry the quality sucks, me and my camera were having an argument that is as of yet unresolved.











Thanks for lookin!

Wow thats a very cool little gecko!! I really like the second to last shot. Is she CB or WC? What do they eat and are these guys very expensive? In you dont mind me asking. Feel free to say no. Good luck with her.

They retail fairly high... MUCH higher than leos or cresties.

This one is a long-term captive. Been in captivity over 2 years, and has produced a number of clutches. She eats crickets(very small ones) and waxworms. Care is pretty easy, comparatively.

She's awesome! I love the markings on top of her head. Where did you get your little girl? How old is she? I'd always assumed all leaftails were huge.. the only Uroplatus I've seen in person was a fimbriatus- that thing was scary.

I got her in a trade. She's really awesome, and doesn't spend most of her time hiding, so she's a great display animal. She's lovely so I had to share.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone.
