Lineatus are a much larger species than phantasticus, but equally beautiful! The Uroplatus are one of my favourite gecko genera...

A pair of lineatus would need an enclosure of about 32"x32"x60" (LxWxH), so pretty big!

A pair of phantasticus would do ok in 18x18x24".

I havn't kept any myself, but I definitely will in the future! I have the Uroplatus book which is a great source of information.

Not sure on the enclosure size for a single lineatus - though to be honest, if you do manage to get hold of them, I would definitely get a pair, to try and get some CB individuals around in the UK! These guys are all CITES listed, and therefore WC imports are low in number. The more CB individuals, the less will be wild caught for the trade.
