Also, are there any good care sheets?

Please post some photos!

I think the most commonly excepted begginner Uroplatus is Uroplatus henkeli. If you looking for photos there are tons in the Uroplatus photo gallery on this site and caresheets can be found quite easily by simply typing in Uroplatus care on any search engine.

agreed about the henkeli, but first a question: have you ever kept a reptile/gecko before? if not, any leaftails arent really good for beginners, there is a lot of maintenance on them, they definitely cant handle neglect. im not implying that you would neglect them, i've been fascinated with them since i first got them, just wanting to help you out because without the proper knowledge on these guys, if you buy a fresh import or something from a vendor who hasnt properly acclimated them, you can end up getting a DOA or something very near to that. also, uroplatus henkeli are not being imported this year, from what everyone has said and the CITES quotas ive seen. so it might be hard to get your hands on them, although there has been a male in the classifieds if you feel like checking that out. uroplatus fimbriatus are generally a bit larger than henkeli, but otherwise very similar. uroplatus sikorae is another possibility for a beginner.

info on caresheets tends to differ depending on who made it, but try googling "uroplatus caresheet" and so on, then if theres more questions, there's plenty of knowledgeable members in this forum! welcome!

I have many herps.I keep and breed many snakes and lizards. Im now primarily interested in geckos. Im thinking now of Gargoyal geckos or another Rhac gecko other than gargoyals.

i would say a mossy would be the easiest for you go get, and probably the hardiest available without henkeli being imported. i haven't had a speck of trouble with my trio over the past 1/1/2 years.

They are the most forgiving of all the Uroplatus I keep. They do not dehydrate nearly as badly as the others I've keep. And the reproduce like flies.
