Satanic leaf tailed geckos?

[Kiru]

Does anyone here own Satanic Leaf Tailed geckos? I'm thinking about Keeping and Possibly breeding some.
I'd Like to start with the fact that I am already breeding Crested Geckos, so I fully understand the responsibility of breeding animals, I'm not planing to do it to get profit, more of a hobby.
I've been looking up as much Information on these little guys as I can, and I understand the basic Husbandry of them.
I just wanted to hear from people who keep these guys what they are like, and if anyone breeds them what breeding them is like. Do they like or can they be handled (for short periods or time). I've heard the are somewhat fragile is this true? Are they good eaters, do they do well housed with others (i've read they house well with others) any input would be great.

Thanks so much

i can't say i have hands on info with these but i too have done a ton of research on these. i have read that handling is not too great of an idea. i have read mixed things on weither they will even allow handling. i see most keep them in groups of 1.2 in cages with live plants. with any communal animal, be sure to not over shoot the size of your cage. make sure the cage is big enough for 3 animals.

also, good luck finding them. they are on the rarer side and last i saw them for sale, it was a group only sale and they were high priced. that is if you are in the US.

Uroplatus phantasticus, right?
Finding them shouldn't be *too* hard, a friend of mine found some adults not too long ago. Try kingsnake.com classifieds.
Also, that same friend hatched out a couple babies, and from what I understand, they are tiny and very fragile.
Good luck!
