well... sort of.
He's great once he's out of his enclosure... which is a feat in itself considering he's about a foot long.
I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Cute! Is that a Golden Gecko or a Day Gecko? Whatever he is it looks like he's got quite a personality!

At almost a foot Long, I would have Guess that it would be a Rhacodactylus, am I correct?

Close, he's a Gehyra Vorax.
He's a little smaller than my leachies and much faster. ;)
It's amazing how drastically his pesonality can change based on where he is. One minute he's trying to take my fingers off, the next minute he's chillin' on my shoulder licking babyfood off a spoon. :D

Wooh hooo......nice vorax! I have a pair and they are so cool:D I love watching them scurry around for crickets and fruit. And man can they bite! Mine aren't tamed......YET. I'm working on it slowly but surely. I love their huge feet and velvety skin. Very fun species. Thanks for the pics!

All of the g. vorax I have seen in person have had personalities more like a tokay than a leachie. Having said that, I should mention that they do calm down signifigantly and can be as nice as any leachie... they just have a different presence about them. Leachianus are very calm and deliberate, they remind me of a well trained crested. As far as care, they are very simmilar to leachianus but can tolerate a larger margin of error in husbandry conditions.
So, the short answer to that question would be that they act more like a tokay, but have diets and living conditions more like like leachianus. Either way they are amazing, it's too bad they are so underrated.
