Although I definitely wouldn't recommend Uro's for beginner geckos, if I had to choose one of the "easiest" it would definitely have to be henkeli. Make sure you get a well-started cb baby...the older the better.
Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brandon Macy Sent: Sunday, March 28, 2004 3:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gecko]uroplatus Hi there! Well, at the herp show today i was finally able to get my brother interested in geckos, something i've been trying to do for a while i might add. I was thinking he could get started with a crested, but he wasn't too keen on them. When i showed him some leaf-tails, he thought they were awesome, lol. Anyway...my question for you is which leaf-tail would be good for a beginner? I know they aren't really a "beginners" gecko, but i would make sure he was doing everything right (i won't have any problems with them) until he was able to take care of one on his own. I was thinking U. henkeli. He likes their size, and if i'm not mistaken they are the easiest of the genus to take care of, correct? My personal favorites (although i've yet to keep any) are U. phantasticus, U. sikorae, and U. pietschemmani "cork bark uro". I would be glad to help him set up a cage for a nice CB baby, i think it would be fun. Any thoughts on this? Also, who are some of the better uroplatus breeders in the states? thanks, Brandon _______________________________________________ Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkota.com Classifieds http://www.gekkota.com/cgi-gekkota/classifieds.cgi gecko mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gekkota.com/mailman/listinfo/gecko _______________________________________________ Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkota.com Classifieds http://www.gekkota.com/cgi-gekkota/classifieds.cgi gecko mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gekkota.com/mailman/listinfo/gecko
