Uroplatus giganteus
Recently, Glaw, Kosuch, Henkel, Sound & Böhme described the 'white eyed fimbriatus' (if I'm correct, from Montagne d'Ambre) as Uroplatus giganteus.
This species is also pictured in the 'Svatek & Van Duin' book.
Is this species currently kept in Europe or the US ?
Regards,
Stijn

the reclassification was announced a while ago on here... I think you'll find that quite a few members keep "white eye's". 
Yes, many people in both america and europe keep these animals, because before the reclassification they were considered jsut to be fimbriatus. I'm sure you could get some at Hamm if you wanted to.

I don't think there are many people in the US with them. I can't speak for the EU though.

The same thing in Europe, I believe. They come from Montagne d'Ambre, and there wasn't so much export from there, at least legal ones...
I know they were in eastern europe a few years ago but I don't think there are still specimens from that bloodlines alive in europe...As far as Hamm is concerned, I have never seen them overthere and with the imports not anymore allowed in Europe along with the fact this species might not be easier to breed than U.fimbriatus, you should better consider having a contact first before going to Hamm,if ever you want to come mainly to find them...

Fred

That would be really GREAT! There is such a big potential with that genus and we, in europe, might also be able to enjoy them in our terrariums oneday if US breeders are successfull.
Just let us know if/when you get them.
Regards,
Fred

Patrick,
You'll be one of the first to know if it all goes well. I'll do what i can. So far it looks good. Paperwork has gone through 100%. Just need to confirm with the city to make sure everything is up to par. I have WC guentheri coming in as well.
Cheers
