Uroplatus sameiti geckos, also known as southern leaf-tailed geckos, are a rare species of geckos native to Madagascar. They are popular as pets due to their unique appearance; their flat, leaf-like tail and mottled skin pattern provide excellent camouflage in their natural habitat. They are also known for their gentle and docile nature, making them a great choice for first-time uroplatus owners. They are nocturnal animals and do not require much attention during the day, but their night-time activity can be a fascinating aspect of owning one. They are also low-maintenance pets requiring minimal space, making them suitable for small living spaces.

Even though our animals arrive in excellent shape, like other pets in your household, a fecal test is suggested to check for possible parasites. These are not always present, and this practice should be part of the routine for any chameleon keeper. A fecal test should be run on any reptile collection, WC or CB every year.
