There is some good info in "Geckoes" by Henkel and Schmidt and some
in the new Madagascar book. Also, "Geckos" by the Bartletts has some info,
but it would be worthwhile digging up articles from herp mags and journals.
I haven't come across any comprehensive book on Uroplatus.
There is an article in the works for a future GGA publication on
U. henkeli which is the hardiest species in my experience.
None of the Uroplatus do well under conditions which are too warm.
temperatures that regularly exceed 80F are generally bad. Many species
do well with daytime temps in the mid-70s F and a night drop into the 60s F.
