from what ive read/heard, these are kept in similar conditions to uroplatus sikorae, and all uroplatus require cooler temperatures, exceeding 80 degrees F could be deadly.

First of all you should never get an animal if you don't know how to take care of it and second since this was a reptile and tempreture is the most important thing in reptile care you should of at least known that. Do your research next time before you buy an animal. I'm not trying to be mean but I hate to see these amazing creatures die just because of lack of knowledge. Well, they should be kept in the mid 70's during the day with the temp. falling into the 60's at night.
