Those geckos are hot! Excellent animals, Gary. Best of luck with them!

I'm pretty sure I know which is which in that group shot, but maybe you could label them just to be sure? Thanks!

Cheers,
Nick

wow

Beautiful animals. Thanks so much for sharing pictures. Are you going to be able to breed long tails with long tails. This sort of thing gets very tricky when you're not sure what level of taxonomic distinction is appropiate between morphologic types. Is the long tail ebenaui best considered a regional variant, or does its range extensively overlap with the short tails? So many questions - regardless, congrats on the really cool critters.

Best,

No, I haven't bred them yet. The female looks to small to breed. I have a male and female pair for now but I'm hoping to get as many as I can and get a large breeding group established. They have become my favorite Uroplatus species. They occur in Montagne D'Ambre. I don't know how large Montagne D'Ambre National Park is or how much of their range is protected. I've noticed a few differences from regular U. ebenaui which make me think that Long-Tailed Ebenaui is an undescribed species. I think the ranges of the two forms do overlap.

U. ebenaui and U. cf. "long tailed" ebenaui are sympatric. I don't know how large their area is, I'll look it up tonight if you like.
 
there was a guy selling these from Coastal silkworms here in Jacksonville florida they look really cool but he wanted $650 each for them how much were yours if you dont mind?

Not that much.. i got lucky, they were mixed into a shipment of phants and labeled as so. I think that guy was selling supposed "U. malama". Atleast they claimed they were U. malama. But then, I think they were advertising them before they even got the shipment in.
