== Introduction ==
Please contribute to this section.

== Difficulty ==
Uroplatus pietschmanni are one of the easier Uroplatus geckos to care for. Cool temps and humidity are important, as it is with all Uroplatus. U. pietschmanni can tolerate a broad range than some other species.

== Basic Info ==
=== Size ===
Please contribute to this section.

=== Lifespan ===
Please contribute to this section.

=== Handling ===
Please contribute to this section.

== Housing ==
They like thick branches and corkbark to climb, also Sturdy broadleafed plants.

=== Substrate ===
Please contribute to this section.

=== Temperature ===
Temperatures in the high 60s to high 70s are satisfactory with a day/night fluctuation. My Pietschmanni have tolerated evening lows to 60 degrees and day highs to 85 degrees with no problems. These temps should not be drawn-out.

=== Humidity ===
Mainly, U. pietschmanni like a humid inclosure, but not damp or soggy. The substrate should never be watery or muddy, this will lead to infection problems. The cage should be completely misted once in the evening. Let the inclosure dry during the day so that there is no standing water left.

I keep mine in a well ventilated cage (36H x 20 x 20) with screen on the top and on one side. The cage has several inches of soil in the bottom and is planted very well, so it holds humidity. I mist the cage thoroughly every evening.

=== Lighting ===
Please contribute to this section.

== Feeding ==
=== Diet ===
My U. Pietschmanni eat mostly crickets, and also get the occasional roaches. They are good eaters and wont refuse food.

=== Supplements ===
I lightly dust nearly every feeding with a calcium supplement, and I add a multivitamin supplement about once per week. Rep-Cal makes some good supplements.

=== Hydration ===
Please contribute to this section.

== Advanced ==
=== Sexing ===

=== Breeding ===

== Conclusion ==
In my experience, U. pietschmanni are a timid gecko, but they get used to their keeper.
