Thanks :) yeah i really like him/her. I bought it as my first Uroplatus just to see if could take care of it and it's working very well so I'm thinking of getting one or two more.
I became very astonished when i saw the colour of him/her.

he/she has definately got a stunning pattern. It looks more like a sikorae pattern.
how old is your henkeli?

Try to get additional Henkelis from the same stock/same breeder.
Yours is a little bit special and not common.

Please let us know the total length and maybe
some photo of the genital range.

Thansk every one.
Ok so if that colour is unusual, wath do a "normal" henkeli looks like then??
a picture would be great:D

gollum: I actually think that's a female too because the breeder of this animal says that most of his babies with that colour has turned out to be females.
But it's not 100% sure

Im agree, you have probaly a female!

Further the colouring and skin texture (more colourfull and rough) differs much from the common imported Henkeli animals. Its always advisable to use animals from identical origin area/area/forest for the breed. With U.sikorae often the mating partners were not compatible and the breed succeeded only sporadically. Often such young animals were measure-formed (obstructed) and did not come out of the eggs.

With U.henkeli I have in this connection similar experiences.
I advise it to you only!

Common U.henkeli male.

Common U.henkeli pair (females are similar but more speckled).
