By day it typically rests motionless on trunks and branches, then becomes active at dusk and through the night, hunting insects from elevated perches.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a true arboreal species that benefits from vertical space, lots of climbing structure, and a stable, cooler forest-style temperature gradient. Their eyes are built for low light, and they’ll often choose shaded, sheltered spots even when the enclosure is well-lit. Colour and pattern vary between individuals, but the “mossy” greens, greys and browns are the hallmark look that makes Uroplatus sikorae so distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":52884755710289,"sku":"mossy-leaf-tail-gecko-unsexed","price":458.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Mossy-Leaf-Tail-Gecko_1.jpg?v=1772453020","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/mossy-leaf-tail-gecko","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
