Oliver, you're just showing off That's a cool gecko...I can't give you any help, but I wonder what size does that gecko get to be? Good luck finding a female, I am scratching my head figuring out how you found that one. Good luck and nice gecko.

Check the tongue. If it lacks any black, it's U.aff.henkeli. If it has a black tip or markings, it's U.henkeli.

The pattern is very U.henkeli, if you ask me, but here's a link that describes the difference between U.aff.henkeli and U.henkeli.

Uroplatus aff. henkeli

Good luck!

Luis

Exept if you collect him yourself in Joffreville, I would say that this guy looks like U. aff. henkeli, more than north-sikorae.
I was in Joffreville two weeks ago, and sikorae from this area looks like classical sikorae, exept that they seems to be a little bit bigger but in all the animals I've seen on my trip, I cannot notice a real difference between classical sikorae and "giant" sikorae from the north.

I'm Ok with what you say Yuri, but Diego is more hot than joffreville and from what I saw, there is no animals who seems to looks like henkeli neat joffreville/Ambre, but I will not be surprised if you found henkeli-like near Diego.

I will post some pictures of several sikorae-like animals I've seen in Montagne d'Ambre and Joffreville, they are more classical than all the animals on this thread.

Hey guys,

thank you all very much for your opinions.

My showed male have in comparison to other U. aff. henkeli from Ankarana/ Mt. D. Ambre no yellow shoulder bags. Luis you show in your link also one with yellow shoulder bags.

I have an exporteur at madagascar and he told me he is probaly from the area of joffreyville.

Whatever he is, he looks amazing. Lets hope you can find a female for him. I was under the impression that madagascar was closed for european exports?
