I'm lucky enough to have three leachianus in my care at work.At the moment they are just hatclings so housing is fairly simple and similar to other Rhacodactylus species with lots of vertically standing corkbark/branches to provide plenty of hiding places. They would have to be housed in a larger enclosure as they grow of course. I would recommend reading Rhacodactylus: The Complete Guide to their Selection and Care by Philippe de Vosjoli, Frank Fast and Allen Repashy.

Carlos, we just got a BIG leachy in today (qroom) :D Check him out, its AWESOME!!

Yea like he said, set ups just have vertical cork bark, mulch, plants and such. Not to creative ;)

Yeah I know what the setup should have since I do have the rhac book but maybe I wasn't clear in my original post. Put it this way, if you got pics, post them :)

Sorry, I thought you were new to R.leachianus and wanted to know how to house them which is why I recommended the book. I too would be intrested to seeing some enclosures and does anyone breed these guys in Canada? The ones at my work had to be imported from the U.S.
