I have been on a photo taking frenzy so I took my female Uroplatus pietschmanni out to my maple tree today to see if I could get some pictures of her eating a snail(her favorite food). I was kind of doubtful she would take it since it was daytime but she did. Here are the picture:
Taking her outside
Look carefully, you can see both the gecko and snail in this picture
Focusing in for the kill
Got it!!!
i really like them, great gecko as well, as always...
amazing. spectacular. i really liked that sequence of pictures, in case you couldnt tell.
I thought snails were great sources of parasites and all sorts of carriers of bad "bugs" and such??
Do they eat the shells too???

Uroplatus sikorae 1.1
Uroplatus henkeli
Ball python
Hogg Island Boa Constrictor
Several species of tarantula
I also fed my Uros snails and didnt have any problem wiht parasites, if your worried just keep the snails in a clean container for a cuople of days and feed the som clean lettuce och leafs. My females were especially intrested in them during the matingseason, its good for them woth the extra calcium in the shells when developing eggs.
Best regards

In the wild I assume uroplatus most likely eat snails so why shouldn't it be in captivity too? Neil Meister, the most well Uroplatus breeder in the world has fed his Uroplatus field collected snails for years and has had no problems with them.
