Hey everyone, so lately I've been getting more n more interested in geckos. Started with a reticulated gargoyle gecko (R.auriculatus) for my girlfriend. Then I got myself a Hainan cave gecko (G.hainanensis) and recently added a pair of unsexed Malaysian cat geckos (A.felinus)...Now I'm hooked lmao.!! :D The more uncommonly kept species fascinate me.

So what uncommon or not so popular species of gecko do you keep? And why did you pick that species? :)

Only gecko I have at the momment is a beautiful tokay. But plan on getting some williamsi's which seem to be making their way back into the market more frequently now. Other then that, I'm not to into geckos.

So jealous that you own Malaysian Cat Geckos! I want one of those so badly. I only own a Crested and I'm getting another one on Monday. I would also love to own a Leachianus one day. :o

Shoot me a PM. I know just the person to speak with. I gave a pair of them to someone a few years ago and at the very least he knows where they landed.


Jay, naultinus. I wish so HARD for them.

That's a good attitude to have regarding care n adding more etc.. The cats are great to watch and look stunning however they don't take to handling well and stress easily... Also look into RO water or filtered as they can't take the minerals in our water..

I use filtered water for both my snakes and cresteds, I honestly don't even like drinking tap water so I won't give it to my animals either... even my cat drinks filtered spring water LOL :p

Leachies are AWESOME. Pity they are so expensive.
