i have been keeping my eye out for any uroplatus species for a long time and i have kept quit rare species of geckos before but nothing as hard to find as these and i wondering were i can find them in the uk and how much they would cost?

Depends a lot on the species,
pietschmanni (my favourite) will cost a lot more than phantasticus for example.

Hamm is a good bet if you get desperate enough.

Steve Gillworth of Gillworth reptiles used to get them, but now theyre restricted by CITIEs guidelines you will find there arent many coming in via Europe, there seem to be more available in the USA.
I too have been looking for a male U.ebenaui for some time to mate with my female, it seems almost a crime to have this species and not attempt to breed from them.

i was going to go to hamm to try and find a female pietschmanni earlier this month but that didnt happen, to be honest, you wont have much luck getting hold of these in the UK, there are so few around and i dont know of any breeders as this genus is notoriously difficult to get to breed. I got my male pietschmanni from hamm and this is probably the only place your going to find them. Heres a pic if your interested, regards, Joel

Have to agree that's one very cool looking gecko.
