your best bet is to get the uroplatus book by svatek and van duin. its a shame that they didn't revise it before they did a reprint of it, but it has nearly everything you need.

most people say that guentheri, or maybe henkeli are the easiest, with phantasticus and ebenaui being the most difficult.

I will see if I can dig out some photos. try browsing through all the old threads on here for photos.

google is your friend. learn how to use it.

there is also the book by patrick schonecker, "geckos of madagascar, the seychelles, comoros, and mascarene islands." that has photos of more of the species/undescribed than the svatek/van duin book.

I was always told that guentheri and henkeli are the "easiest" uroplatus-species to work with. They can have some flaws in caretaking better then the others. But when you have CB uro`s, most of them are not that hard to keep. As long as you know how to take care of them.... If you could find the book of Van duin & Svatek, i recommend it.
