New member researching uroplatus husbandry

[Elizabeth Freer]

Seems like a Uro would like more "cover". Hanging silk plants stuck to the sides with suction cups maybe?

Have you heard from Jay?

The link in your last post does not work.

"Connections", Alexander1, that's what I love about the internet! I'm happy I could connect you and Jay. :biggrin:

Several years ago Simo joined from Romania. Another Romanian member was having big time trouble with her leopard gecko. Their homes were several hours apart. Simo paid the taxi fare to pick up the leo and bring her to her home.

Simo and I re-named this leo "Star". Simo rehabbed Star and then rehomed her.

This, too, was a connection I made.

Why would it be low light? You can use a low wattage fluorescent with Uroplatus during the day with no problem. Pothos generally do pretty well in lower light conditions, but most plants need some kind of light if you want a planted vivarium.

Here's another Uroplatus care resource you might want to check out: https://www.reptifiles.com/uroplatus-leaf-tailed-gecko-care/

I spent months putting this care guide together — as you've probably realized, finding a collection of reliable Uroplatus care information is really hard! It addresses the needs of all known Uroplatus species according to current research, and ranks the different species by difficulty level.
