I think I was able to distinguish U. henkeli from U. lineatus and U. fimbriatus by the time I was 14. We need to call Jenny Pramuk on this, she's been curator of herpetology over there for a few years now. Seriously, you should drop her a line: "jpramuk@wcs.org"Glorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707197225963721646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871542942842750523.post-31880615148286927002008-07-03T20:41:00.000-04:002008-07-03T20:41:00.000-04:00I checked out the zoo's website when I first heard...I checked out the zoo's website when I first heard about the exhibit about a month ago. I was delighted to see they had a profile about Henkel's Leaf-tailed Gecko, Uroplatus henkeli. However, the zoo staff was apparently misinformed by whomever they got their gecko from because, at the time, it showed a picture of U. lineatus. Presently, U. lineatus is clearly shown on the banner Susan posted (it's the stripped, tan gecko on the right side).<BR/><BR/>Also, after checking the profile page again I see they've made an attempt to correct their error. However, they've still fucked up. Now they have a picture of U. frimbriatus.<BR/><BR/>See for yourself!<BR/><BR/>http://bronxzoo.com/look-and-learn/animal-profiles/leaf-tailed-gecko.aspxDanShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16293290766231344611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871542942842750523.post-62525171232541542412008-07-03T20:11:00.000-04:002008-07-03T20:11:00.000-04:00Technically, it was June 25th, but those pesky ASP...Technically, it was June 25th, but those pesky ASP meetings got in the way.
