that looks like a uroplatus sikorae
a madagascan species of leaf tail.

I used to keep mine at room temps (75-7 with a 35w basking light in one corner.
Despite their being nocturnal, I still provided exposure to UV light in the form of a philips BL and a Chroma 50.
I fed them medium crickets twice a week, and had drip watering on them everyday, I had a 64oz jug that I refilled every day.

I kept live plants, (scindapsus, sanserveria, dracaena, and ficus ) and gave them a 12 hour on, 12 hour off photoperiod.

They are kinda tricky, they prefer high humidity, and in addition to the dripping water, misting once daily is a good idea.

I would recommend against trying to handle him/her, as it can really stress them out.

hope that gave you the info you needed.

Thats the short version.

I used a plastic screw top jug/jar with a hole melted on the bottom on one side ,and siliconed in with a 1/4" valve connected to some fish tank hose (1/4" tubing)

I leave the lid barely sitting on the top so it will drip.

I would fill it every morning, and put it on a really slow drip so it was about 1/4 when I would get home from work 10hrs later.

I frequently saw them drink this way.
