I recently introduced a young male P.guimbeaui to an older female. She is between 2 and 3 years old. She is very docile and hand tame. The male is around a year old, maybe a little older. He is about an inch longer, but not nearly as much girth as her. He has been bullying her a little. I...

Does anyone out there keep/breed P. v-nigra v-nigra? I have been looking for a male and cant seem to find anyone who currently keeps this species. I have some Uroplaus/Phelsuma that I would possibly trade for a male...or just buy outright. Thanks Joe

Hey guys! I was wondering who is breeding P.v-nigra v-nigra these days. I have two adult females and think it would be a shame for me not to breed them. The one female is an extremely nice specimen and rivals pictures of most of the males that i have seen. The first pic is when she was around...

Hey Guys, I watched a special on Nat Geo Wild, Discovery Channel, titled Zombie Alligators. It highlights an epidemic amongst a wild population of alligators within lake Griffin, Florida. Alligators were showing signs of paralysis and neurological defects. Commonly crawling...

Originally I figured that this Uroplatus was a sameiti because he was obviously not sikorae. But since December, he has not stopped growing and has a voracious appetite for a male. He is currently around 8.5 inches long and narrowly built...kinda like a cross between lineatus and henkeli. His...

I remember one of the pietschmanni breeders mentioning not over feeding females... I was curious if that was a problem with this species in particular. Also, have any of you breeders had problems with overweight females. My female is always starving and she puts on weight too. I feed her two...

When I received my cork barks in December, they had a few tiny red mites...so I picked them off with modified forceps. I have picked off one or two since then, but today...I picked off almost 2 dozen between the both of them. I guess it would be good practice to check over your geckos with...

For those of you who have kept U.sameiti, or witnessed first hand...what legnth do they max out at. I had a female in the past, but she had a regenerated tail that never fully developed after 3 years or so. I have a male right now that was at 7 inches in January when I aquired him, but is now...

I have dealt with many Phelsuma for years...but this if my first full breeding season with P.klemmeri. My female produced 3 fertile clutches this season, and is doing fine. I noticed that my male had been having a hard time keeping his grip on the snake plants. He has exaggerated calcium...

This is a female that I aquired last summer from Jon Boone. I used to breed them around 16 years ago, but got away from the species. I wanted to get back into them because they have such great personalities. I posted a wanted ad a couple weeks back on GU, looking for a male P.madagascariensis...

This is a WC female henkeli that I have had for a little over 3 years. She was a good breeder and produced many offspring. I believe that the 10.0 UV light I had on her hurt her...but not as much as the light hurt the CB adult pair that I had raised myself. The CB adult female's one eye was...

this guy was a mistake, but a good mistake ;-). He was supposed to be a U.sikorae...but he is a real nice specimen, so i am happy. I have had him since January and he is doing well... but I am not sure if I want to look for a female. I was wondering what the frequency of sameiti is with...

I have noticed small lumps/nudules behind the front legs on the body of my henkels, corkbarks, and sikorae. They seem to swell and shrink slightly. I am guessing that they are some kind of vitamin/fat storage, but not sure exactly what they are. Anyone know what they are.

Here's one of the males and the female...she is a stunner!

In the past, I have had pretty good luck with freshly imported Uroplatus... But I was just curious if anyone has had consistent success with fresh imports...particularly Satanics and Corkbarks. One thing I have noticed with the Satanics is that they grow quite fond of Bromeliads/Bromeliaceae...
