Could be that correct cover wasn't provided vertically? Perhaps even under
lichen, moss, bark, epiphytes..? It's clear by their body form that they're
not going to need a similar terrarium to Uroplatus in the form of smooth
logs or branchy stems. They're large enough to need some pretty loose
bark(!), something along the lines of Eucalyptus? Maybe more likely is
living in hollows or breaks?
I'm sure we're going to be reaching the same people :)
Hey, you better not drive the prices back up with all this interest Lyle!

This is sounding more and more like a job for those crazy Chameleon
specialists!
