I've added a few more gallery placeholders. If anyone has photos of any of the species listed on the site, drop me a line!

Thanks!

hey hey, like the way you're handling it at the moment. I sent some pics already so feel free to put them on!

Hey Mallick,

Unfortunately I never received any images. If you wouldn't mind resending them, we could get them posted.

Also, it helps if you place your name on the photo so we don't have to manually credit 100's of photos.

Also, if anyone is willing to share any images or care sheets etc, for the site, just drop me a line. Thanks to Hervé, we now have a few new henkeli and lineatus pictures. I'll be adding a section for pictures of different enclosures so folks can see examples of the different techniques employed.

Keep the ideas coming!

Thanks,

Luis

I just wanted to thank everyone for their contributions thus far. With Daytona just days away, I haven't had the time to mark and upload everything but there should be a decent up date in the next few weeks.

Hey Everyone!
Things have been crazy but I haven't forgotten about the site. I've been working on the FAQ sections and wanted to garner some thoughts and ideas from the community.

To stay focused, I will post one question at a time so we can get the most comprehensive (yet concise if possible) answers.

First question to discuss....

What are common health issues of Uroplatus?


Thanks!!

Luis

I think dehydration may be the most common health issue with this genus. Internal and external parasites on WC imports (dont really know any specifics other than mites). I have never personally had problems with it but MBD?

dysecdysis, nutritional imbalance/deficiency

I've been making some much needed changes and updates the past few weeks. I've included a few FAQ's along with categorizing the species into "groups" ie, fimbriatus group, ebenaui group etc.

We've also begun entering terms into the glossary. If anyone has any suggestions for the glossary, post it here so we can add it.

I've also added a Site References section. Most information pertaining to Uroplatus is from a handful of published journals and articles so I thought it would advantageous for us to have a definitive list. If anyone has a list of papers to include, again, post it here so we can add the citations (or pdf's with permission) to the site.

For those of you who are interested in following our progress, I've added a new section, Site News, to the site. You can subscribe to the RSS feed and receive updates immediately after their posted.

Thanks again for your support!
