Hi Daniel,
So far they don't behave like U. guentheri as far as hiding goes.
They sleep in the
open on the upper sides of the vivaria, often with tails curled
around like phantasticus
sometimes do. Sometimes they curl around small branches.
They do not sleep head down like U. henkeli/sikorae.
Once fecals are done, I'll be moving them into more naturalistic
enclosures and
may see different behavior.
Two of the males have taken a turn for the worse. I suspect
internal bacterial infection
resulting from stress. So far all fecals have been
negative.
I have seen little in the way of good photos or illustrations of
allaudi, so I can't
comment on how they compare.

They're definately in the alluaudi complex-- most members of this have interesting hiding in Uroplatus, inside crevaces. Might be worth it to add some PVC or bamboo tubes.
If U. guentheri and U. malaheleo are both found in holes, and if the U. ssp is as well, then it kind of makes me wonder if people are looking for U. alluaudi in the right places.
But Neil, you know better than the rest of us you can't go wrong with cool temps, high humidity, branches, and some bushy plants.
