Henkel's Leaf-Tailed Gecko

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Henkel's Leaf-tailed Gecko (Uroplatus henkeli), is a gecko that is found on the island Nosy B near Madagascar, as well as on the mainland Madagascar itself, in the region of Ankaranafantsika. These geckos live an arboreal lifestyle, often venturing down to the ground only to lay eggs in soft soil and leaflitter. There are two different morphs of these geckos; the Nosy B form, and the mainland Madagascar form, and they can be distinguished by their colouration patterns, though these are not always reliable. Reaching a total length of 280 mm, this is one of largest species in the genus. These geckos are insectivores, but will also eat snails if they are found.
