WEEK 39, this week is the savage and diabolic satanic leaf tail gecko, ie. Uroplatus phantasticus
















So again, over here we are representing another leaf tailed gecko hailing from the island of Madagascar in the countdown, not because we are biased towards this genus, but because the undeniable beauty of these animals is quite alluring. Mimicking a leaf, these arboreal geckos come from humid rich forests that bloom with insect life. Why are they know commonly as 'satanic' leaf tails? I don't know, just look at them, their eyes look pretty fierce! I have to give it up to Matt Kosakowski for hooking me up with pictures of his beautiful collection of these as well as the dope enclosure's that they consider their homes. Since nobody really reads this far anyways, I'm just gonna post the picks....enjoy ;)
