What are your sources for uroplatus info?

[Thecoldandfuzzies]

Where do you go for forum discussion, breeding, husbandry, research?

I belong to the uroplatus/leaf tail owner and breeders group on Facebook.

I use youtube videos (reptilatus, petgalore 95, lll reptile, zoomed exhibitions, BBC nature/world, etc)


Care guides from uroplatus.org, reptifiles, reptilesmagazine.org,

Additional info from uroplatus episode and interview on Chameleon breeders podcast with Luis Wiedemann, UV/MBD episodes with John Courtney Smith.

When I want to look into whatever science and research I can find I'll google uroplatus into google scholar but find alot of it too advanced for me to fully understand.

I've checked habitat range maps on icun redlist website for each uroplatus I have, and then looked up generic weather reports for cities near those areas.

I've reached out to Reptilatus, Petgalore95, Niel Meister, Reptifiles to ask specific questions or to show update/progress with health issues.

It sounds like alot, maybe. But I still don't feel well-educated.

Where do the experts get their knowledge?
Where do you get yours?

Hi Thecoldandfuzzies, if you have specific questions regarding the ecology and taxonomy of Uroplatus, or indeed any of the scientific research that you don't understand, I am happy to help. Likewise if there is specific scientific literature you are having a hard time acquiring, I can probably provide it to you.

But just FYI, I will be in Montagne d'Ambre without internet access for the next two months.

All the best from hot and sunny Antananarivo,
Mark

P.S. two new Uroplatus species I helped to describe are due to be named by the end of the year, and could appear any day now in Zootaxa.

That's amazing! Congratulations!

Thank you so much. Enjoy Antananarivo.
I'll follow up with some questions soon ��
