Hello! I have a U. sikorae, and he is quite mossy green with some almost white areas and beautiful fringe. I am curious as to why he does not spend time on the cork bark or foliage in his enclosure. He always stretches out on the glass and just stays there for hours. At night he does become active, but he always seems to just creep around on the glass or the screen area on the front of the enclosure. Any ideas? Also, what is a fair price for a large U. henkeli? The pet store that I frequent here just got a beautiful large one, and they are asking $200 for him. Thanks! :o) Tobey ------------------------------------------------------ In a message dated Thu, 20 Dec 2001 10:34:50 AM Eastern Standard Time, "Neil A. Meister" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:
