Hi Peter, Very mossy U. sikorae are supposed to come from this area. I have a trio that are very large and look different (more bumpy and mossy) than other sikorae I have seen. They have yellow or amber eyes. I have also heard of different forms of U. fimbriatus from this region.
Can you forward a photo? Neil >Just to make you green with envy.. >I have seen some very nice slides made in madagascar, by one of the >photographers that sometimes publish in my mag.
