Product description and measurements
Uroplatus phantasticus, commonly known as the Satanic leaf-tailed gecko, is a species of reptile endemic to Madagascar, famous for its amazing camouflage ability and its appearance reminiscent of a dried leaf. This small gecko measures between 6.5 and 10 centimeters in length, including its distinctive tail, which is flat and has irregular edges that mimic the contours of a worn or decaying leaf. Its body is thin and flattened, and its skin features brown, gray, reddish or yellowish hues, often with dark spots and lines that allow it to blend perfectly with the forest foliage.

One of the most impressive features of the Uroplatus phantasticus is its ability to blend in not only with leaves, but also with the bark of trees, making it a master of camouflage. During the day, this gecko usually remains motionless, hanging from branches or hidden among leaf litter, where its appearance makes it almost invisible to predators. Furthermore, its ability to flatten its body against surfaces and its ability to keep its eyes still reinforce its camouflage.

The Uroplatus phantasticus is nocturnal and is active at night to hunt small insects, such as crickets and moths, which constitute its main diet. Thanks to the adhesive pads on its toes, it is an excellent climber, allowing it to move with agility along the branches and leaves of trees.

This gecko is oviparous, and females usually lay one or two eggs, usually hidden in leaf litter or between cracks in trees. The eggs hatch after a few weeks, and the offspring are born fully formed and with the ability to camouflage themselves from the moment of birth.

The Uroplatus phantasticus inhabits the humid forests of Madagascar, in areas with high vegetation and high levels of humidity. Although its camouflage effectively protects it in its natural environment, habitat destruction due to deforestation represents a significant threat to this species. Its extraordinary appearance has captured the attention of herpetologists and the exotic pet trade, leading to efforts to regulate its capture and ensure its conservation in the wild.
