:shock: , you sure don't see alluaudi pics very often! Thanks for sharing those; they are really neat to see. I didn't know that they had little 'horns' like that on the side of their heads. Do you know what their personalities are like compared to other uroplatus species? That CB one is gorgeous!

Is there any one on this forum that keeps alluaudis?????

Neither one of those geckos are alluaudi. I believe there was a discussion earlier on the subject of these two geckos and to whether or not they were alluaudi. One of them belongs or belonged to the owner of BallPythons South, I can't remember his name, I think it was Mike something. I believe we all thought they were sikorae, alluadi look more like guentheri.

none of those are alluaudi. each one of the pictured animals is sikorae. from the very few pics ive seen, alluaudi are much more similar to guentheri in outward appearance than sikorae.

that is one i have seen labelled as alluaudi, but having no professional experience with the species, i can neither confirm nor deny that is alluaudi. but i would definitely say of the readily known described species, it is either alluaudi or guentheri.

The first two are U.sikorae. As I know Bill made this pictures on Montagne d' Ambre and thy can be the new subspecies of U.sikorae (see Svatek and Van Dunne's Uroplatus book pp 141 - 143). Thw other two for me looking like common U.sikorae, but the last one 9on the buttom pic)are representative of U.alluaudi/guentheri/ pietschmanni/ malahelo group and look like U.alluaudi. You can find U.alluaudi pictures on Willi Henkel's site Nephrurus.org and also in Svatek's book.
Also I have couple pictures of U.alluaudi and both specimens looking like specimen on the last picture. All representatives of alluaudi (also ebenaui/phantasticus/malama group and U.lineatus) have not dermal flaps on lower jaw.

Hello

I totally agree with the others. These are all members of the U. fimbriatus- group, that can be easy recognized by their dermal flaps. But without locality nobody can say from where this came. But I Think too, that they are for sure forms of U. sikorae.

Best Regards Patrick

man...looking at those pics, that ebenaui looks really weird.

but yes, many of those are misidentified there. but the one pictured above that ebenaui is either guentheri, alluaudi, or malahelo. i would guess guentheri, but i dont know enough about those species nor can you see enough in those pics.

I know, that ebenaui looks like a pygmy leaf chameleon X ebenaui or something, haha.... I was also thinking it was very strange looking.

that's guentheri, almost 100%. eyelashes.

The ebanaui looks strange because of it's position. methinks it's a bog standard speartail otherwise.

either way, it was allegedly taken in madagascar.

don't even bother looking at the chameleons page. its horrendous. same problem. perhaps less blatant, but still, meh. i dont like that website. Some blatant plagiarism, as well as photoshopping.

Those mis-identifications are pretty amusing. I gave the birds a quick glance, looks like they actually got most of those right. Some pretty cool ones, too. :)

alluaudi

If everyone would like to see a real uroplatus alluaudi there are a few pictures in my uroplatus book. For those who dont have a uroplatus book, I can scan them and post here. If you would like!
