Lined Leaf-tailed Geckos (Uroplatus Lineatus)

Saturday, December 11, 2010 we purchased two lined leaf-tailed geckos (Uroplatus lineatus) for $45 each from the Northern Virginia Reptile Expo in Manassas. They are both males and have been long term captive for at least a year. We keep them in an 18x18x24 Exo-Terra tank. They looked a little dehydrated when we first got them but after giving them some water their tails seemed to uncurl and they started to look a lot better. We even got them to eat some crickets and dubias on their first day.

Update: Shortly after this video was made the males were separated into their own terrariums. They are still doing great and look SO much healthier than they do in this video. I can't believe they looked the way they did.

$45 each? Wow, what a deal. There will only be 66 specimens exported from Madagascar next year :(.

You should get some side ventalition (Spell for me), it can go very bad if you don't....

just an advice i got some month back.. Goes for all Uroplatus species.

Lineatus are some of my favourite animals. Yours looks great and it looks like you have a great set-up and will take great care of them. You may have heard this already but it is a good idea to house males seperately. Best of luck with them & thanks for posting this video !
