Lyle, U. giganteus have been in the pet trade for a while, sold as "white-eye" fimbriatus, although it has only just recently described. They come from around Montagne d'Ambre in northern Madagascar. U. giganteus are truly gigantic with a snout-vent length of up to 200mm! Happy New Year! Tony www.umn.edu/~gambl007
