I have just introduced a new female fimbriatus into the my male fimbriatus' cage. I'm seeing exactly what I saw last time with this male and his (late) female partner. The female acclimates immediately - eating, moving about the cage, etc. However, the male is more than not happy. He...

I've been treating a uroplatus fimbriatus for a mouth wound for about a week now. The issue was a mouth wound that was getting worse. Now his wound is healing rather nicely but he's not eating and he's sleeping in odd spots. I've always known a uroplatus to sleep vertically, feet straight up...

I am looking for a female to add to my viv with a fimbriatus male. The male is wild caught. I've had him for about 3.5 years. I've never had him checked out - he was the only one in the enclosure originally and he seemed very healthy. At this point, since he shows no sign of any issues...

I have a male fimbriatus that has slowly been developing a raw nose. I'm not sure if this is from hitting his face on the glass when eating or accidently jumping face first into glass, but now it's becoming a concern. I've had one fimbriatus die of a mouth infection so I'm hoping to nip this...

I tried to post in classifieds but there's no posting option and, after a search, I don't see resources as to why, so I thought I'd post here. WTB uroplatus fimbriatus female. Prefer sub adult or adult. Paypal preferred. Thanks!

I was going to add to a vivarium thread I had going but I decided this is a more general question. I was going to buy a large piece of grapewood that is sufficient enough to supply all vertical and horizontal surfaces. However, I noticed the surface of it is rough. Fimbriatus have very...

My 48x18x18 has a crack in the glass so I am going to get a new vivarium for my giant leaf tailed gecko. My choices are that Exo Terra XL Tall 36x36x18 or a generic 48 x 24 x 24 tall. The gallon difference is marginal - 100 vs 120. However, with 6" of substrate and drainage, that leaves 30"...

My female sikorae has been gravid for some time now. I'm getting a bit worried she's been gravid for too long so I thought I'd put this out to the community: I've read they sleep in awkward positions when gravid. You can see she's trying to keep her bottom end hanging off the side. She...

I am having what seems to be a similar issue to this post: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/leaf-tailed-geckos-uroplatus/68675-giant-leaf-tail-gecko-sick.html The first sign of issue was her eye. It didn't shed properly. Then she started developing a bump on her mouth. Now you can...

Three years ago I purchased a sikorae with an enlarged calcium sac. While I've been monitoring the growth there wasn't much I could do about it. He was eating, drinking and shedding so I took the forum advise and left it alone. Eventually it grew to the size of a large pea which, given the...

Hello, I've noticed I have a spider problem in my viv that has gotten completely out of control. They're big, black and ugly. Fortunately the identifying mark (red hourglass) isn't there but they're still quite large. I feel the only solution is to take everything out and fill it with water...

I left for about 4 nights and when I came back I saw everything was normal except for the droppings from my Fimbriatus. They had these white larvae all over them. I also see similar larvae buried about 1/4" in the substrate. I just changed the substrate too. I'm just not educated in these...

I have 1.1 pairs of sikorae and fimbriatus. The sikorae lays eggs every 6-8 weeks* or so, sometimes sooner. The fimbriatus has laid 2 eggs in the 2 years I've had her and both those eggs were soft, infertile and stuck to a tree - so she's aware she's laying duds. Everything about their care...

I was doing an inspection of my taller vivarium and I came across these tiny larvae sitting in the funnel of the leaves on a dracena. There was a lot of water in there so I redirected the mist nozzle but these have me concerned. I have no idea what they are. They're hard shelled and crush...

I wanted to switch it up and get the pair some hissing roaches. One of those is like 10 crickets - they'll love it I tried this once with a sikorae. I got a sub adult hissing roach and it disappeared. It reappeared a month later bigger than the gecko so I had to remove it. Question is, if I...
