Help me make a decision

I'm planning to get a uroplatus some time in the future and I can't seem to be able to make a decision on one species. I really like sikorae and pietschmanni but I've found contradicting information on whether they are easy to keep or not. Thanks for your help.

Pietschmanni are probably a little easier to care for...but you can probably find 250 sikorae to every one pietschmanni...so that should help make your decision a little easier. Sikorae are not that much more difficult to care for either.

I vote for sikoare too. It sounds bad to say it, but it's true nonetheless-

If it's your first Uro, it might not go well. There can be a learning curve with them, so if you're gonna kill a species of Uroplatus, sikorae is the one to start on. It'd be a crying shame to lose corkies...

Well I know I can keep the temps correct as I've kept my rhacodactylus at the same temps the uroplatus need. Before I would get the sikorae I would get a misting system and get it to maintain the RH around 70%.
