cage size for U. Henkeli

[Rydog]

I was wondering what cage size is good for them, I have a 20 gl tall and want to put one in there I have it all set up and will post pics of it soon

I house single adults in a 18 x 18 x 36 inch cage and will sometimes house a pair in their... Then I put some pairs and trios in a 24 x 24 x 36 inch cage..

A 20 tall would be kinda small for an adult Henkeli. Although you could put an adult mossy leaf-tail in a 20 tall..

Thanks Erik

thanks for commenting back, I was thinking about a mossy leaf tail but I like the look of the henkeli maybe I will get a new viv.

hey Erik, I just visisted your website and was wondering how much you are selling henkeli's and mossy leaf tails for.

thanks

I have a huge waiting list for the mossies and all my "pied" Henkeli that I produce this year are already sold...

Thanks Erik

I would say at very minimum a single adult U. henkeli should be housed in a 29 gallon aquarium, and for a pair a minimum of a 40 gallon tall aquarium. As for Uroplatus, they seem to come and go in the classifieds, just keep your eyes open, there should be a wave of CB U. henkeli this fall I would imagine.

"40 gallon tall aquarium"...That was the smallest I would go for a pair and still be able to see some natural behavior.

An 18" x 18" x 36" cage is about a 48 gallon tank.. Thats the minimum I use..


Thanks Erik

I've got a trio of henks in a 48Tx 48w x 24d and I still have to separate out the male every few weeks to keep them all fresh. I can't justify giving animals "just enough" room - no cage is big enough to recreate natural conditions, but the bigger the better IMHO.
