Uroplatus guentheri - pics

[Crestie Chris]

I finally managed to get some pics of one of my U.guentheri, not many but 4 is better than non eh?

Hope you enjoyed looking,

Chris

Very nice photos! Love how it blends into the bark.

Very cool! I really like the tail, it looks interesting, and the patterning really disguises it!

Thanks guys!

Amazing how well it is camoflaged. Even knowing where to look it is not easy to see.

That's the best part of the Uroplatus genus! Just have a quick look at U. sikorae or U. pietschmanni for some serious camouflage

Very nice, Chris!
Is this the little one you got from me or is this the other one?
Looks like a nice setup you have as well. Do you have any photos of the vivarium?

I wonder if I should have kept my last guentheri pair...

Thanks and yes this is one of yours. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of the set up at the moment, I'll try to snap a few pictures this week for you

But is that a wise question to ask with Hamm looming ever closer? *whistles*

Thanks! I look forward to seeing the photos.

Maybe not... let's hope I don't end up with any spare cash!

I finally got round to taking a picture! Sorry for the delay, I've been a bit under the weather as of late and been bogged down with assignments :roll:

Anyway, here is the viv:

Looks like the little one went into shed last night:

Admittedly a couple of live plants would look far better,

Looks good, Chris! Thanks for the photos!
I hope you're feeling a bit better and you're getting those assignments out of the way!

Looks like a good vivarium for guentheri, and yes live plants are always a nice addition to a vivarium, although guentheri don't really need them. The only other thing I would suggest is cluttering the place up a bit with twigs. When I kept guentheri, I found that they loved to climb around on twigs and sleep amongst them, depending on their thickness.
