Ha! Thats rich. Lost my leg to one of the little devils. Snuck up behind us he did, took my gun bearer first. So fast nobody even saw what was happening. Then it came at me, got a hold of my leg, started to drag me into the treeline where lay the lifeless body of my man. Had to chop my own leg off at the knee to get away. Stay away from those monsters I warn you.

The Uroplatus-species only have two defencemechanisms: Camouflage (not very aggressive!) and opening the mouth wide up to scare you.
No way they are aggressive to you, but offcause you can't have two males together

Question about that you can't keep two males together.
Is this true to all Uroplatus species ?

Example (if I don't remember wrong) U.phantasticus can be kept in colonies such as 2.2 (two males and females). Infact whit more than one male it can be easier to breed them.

Please correct if I'm wrong.

Cheers
Sami
