[ryanharvey1993]

it is not an eungella leaf tailed gecko, it is a broad tailed gecko as said (phyllurus platurus) I would only pay around 100-200, a lot of the available animals are wilcaught though

 

[Stranger]

Ok So can somebody tell me what id need to keep one of these? would they require heat? if so what temp? also how big do they get. and what other husbandry things would be useful to know.
