Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the Mossy Leaf-Tailed Gecko, scientifically known as Uroplatus sikorae! This species of Leaf-Tailed Gecko will amaze you if you’re fascinated by reptiles with incredible camouflage and striking natural beauty. Found in the lush rainforests of Madagascar, Uroplatus sikorae is a master of disguise, blending perfectly into moss-covered branches and bark with its textured, moss-like appearance. Whether you’re thinking about adding one to your collection or an experienced breeder looking for more information, this guide will cover everything you need to know about the care, husbandry, and breeding of these remarkable geckos.
While Mossy Leaf-Tailed Geckos are often available as wild-caught specimens, we strongly encourage you to seek a captive-bred gecko. Captive-bred individuals are healthier, better adapted to captivity, and contribute to the conservation of this incredible species. This guide will walk you through the essentials of setting up an ideal enclosure, maintaining proper humidity and temperature levels, and understanding the unique challenges of breeding these geckos in captivity.
