JOSH!
Welcome, good seeing you here. For the list members who were at gecko Night
last year, Josh got GGA many of the items we gave away at the raffle.

thats pretty interesting, since UVB doesnt pass through a window glass.
Some people have had success breeding this species with out UVB, but many
found it beneficial. I believe it helps a great deal and use it on all my
Uroplatus. Since they are roosting during the day out in the open, rather
than hiding in the dark, they should be getting some exposure to at least
indirect sun.
