We usually call them Uroplatus fimbriatus, a larger version of the henkeli, somewhat similar....

* The fimbiatus as I said, are larger, about 12 inches sometimes a bit larger, making them one of the largest geckos in the world. I also believe they have more teeth than other geckos.

* Another big difference between the two is the fimbriatus has different eyes. Fimbriatus have gold colored eyes with red rings and lines, the henkeli's eyes are speckled.

I have not kept them, I keep henkeli, but friends of mine who have kept them say they are not quite as hardy as the henkeli.

Barkley, male Uroplatus henkeli
