Uroplatus henkeli are hardy for the Uroplatus geckos, but not nearly as easy to maintain as leopards or cresteds. I would suggest either you get geckos like cresteds first or do as Sobek did and I too, research for a good long time and set up a "test tank" as you would keep the U. henkeli and make sure that you are able to keep the proper temperature and humidity. I think you should just be a little more familiar with geckos in general. Snakes are a bit different and most can thrive on minimal maintenance and space, plus feeding once a week or less. With a U. henkeli you will have to feed them every other day or every third day and you will have to buy very large crickets and roaches to feed them. Be wise in your decision, think it over thoroughly and do not act on impulse.
