Leaf-Tailed Geckos: The Genus Uroplatus

[nycherper]

Picked up the "Leaf-Tailed Geckos: The Genus Uroplatus" book by Sascha Svatek and Susanna van Duin today at the Hamburg show.
I have to say it is a very informative book and includes so much information. Definately a great buy for all leaftail keepers.

good book, but id go as far as to say it needs to be updated, i have observed my geckos for a few years now and seen things contrary to what the authors say, plus im still waiting for a good explanation of pietschmanni. im really wondering why the authors decided to mention so little on this species, if maybe they didnt have enough info themselves at the time of publication?

I can get this book for $45...is it worth it?...can I get for less from anyone?

Hi Miguel,
you're right; when the book was written, less was known about U. pietschmanni. The species wasn't even described at that time. I don't know the english version, but the pictures in the german edition are a little bit pale, unfortunately.
Regards

you're right, the pictures throughout the book arent quite the best, but they are good enough to give you the idea of what the animals look like.

it would be really nice if there were a uroplatus book with more information on the lesser-known/lesser-kept species, such as pietschmanni and guentheri.
