Facts:
• The Giant Leaf-tailed Gecko is the largest species of leaf-tailed gecko native to the rainforests of Madagascar.
• Its incredible camouflage allows it to blend seamlessly into tree bark, dead leaves, and forest vegetation, making it nearly invisible to predators.
• Uroplatus fimbriatus possesses fringed skin along its body and head that helps break up its outline, enhancing its natural camouflage.
• These geckos are nocturnal and spend daylight hours resting motionless against tree trunks before becoming active at night.
• Giant Leaf-tailed Geckos are insectivores that thrive on a varied diet of appropriately sized insects dusted with calcium and vitamin supplements.
• Their large eyes lack eyelids, so they clean them using their tongue, a unique trait shared by many gecko species.
• With proper care and husbandry, this species can live 10–15 years or more in captivity.
