My first foray into leaftails... New Uroplatus sikorae.

[Mettle]

So last night I received a pair (1.1) of young Uroplatus sikorae. They made the trip from Montreal to Ottawa and I couldn't be happier to have them. These are my first leaftails but judging by how enamoured I am with them something is telling me they may not be my last, haha.

I was quick to get them into their new enclosures so as not to stress them even more than they probably already were. But I did catch one peeking out at me in the evening (pic attached).

I'm hoping that these two are the same suspecies but I guess I won't find that out for a little bit yet. The person who I bought them from said they are pretty sure they are. But I'll have to confirm that for myself at some point.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks everyone!

I'm pretty sure the one pictured there is the female. The one that I haven't seen since putting him in his enclosure is the male.

She gets a more greenish hue to her as well.

I'm pretty psyched about these geckos. And am happy that they're not adults yet so I get to watch them grow.

The second one (male) was out on his corkbark in the wide open today. And still is actually. So I snapped a couple pics of him as well.
