Hey......well ever since I got rid of my lizards cause of my move I've had sum extra tanks. I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a nice community gecko. I have a 10 gallon so I'm not sure what would work. Some info on the species and price range would be nice. I may get something I'm not positive. Thanks in advance

You can house a leopard gecko.

[snakemann87]

Well i was sorta hoping for a community gecko. Something I could have 2 or 3 of. But I'm not sure of how small geckos get I'm a snake guy lol

[Bencb3]

u can put 3 female leos in one tank, just make sure that they are female.....

[snakemann87]

ya but i said i have a 10 gallon

[Matt_K]

have you considered pictus geckos?? They stay small and are awesome little geckos..

[snakemann87]

No........how big are they?? Any pics

[Rebecca]

They are about <-------------------------------------------> tail included. That is providing my memory is right. Might be a bit smaller. I would not get any that can climb that walls (that you can house 2 or 3 of IE: mourning, house) because they are SUPER fast don't like to be handled and like to run out.

[Matt_K]

Small.. rebecca's (almost to scale) estimate was good, and very creative i might add :D

Here's a pic of one of my adults.

Leos. Perfect starter gecko. Nuff said. =P

Also i think crested geckos dont grow that big, like 7inches or something.

[alan]

An adult crested geckos need at least a 20 gallon tall tank.
Micro geckos are cool, they are really tiny. I don't know their exact size but I believe they won't grow longer than 1.5 inches long. 10 gallons may be too big for housing one but should be fine if you house a couple of them.

Velvet geckos! They aren't that cheap (150-200) but they are super cool and 100% tame!

Stenodactylus sthenodactylus. They are a very active gecko. Pictus would also be a good choice but do not seem as active. Here is a care sheet for stenos http://gekkota.com/html/stenodactylus_sthenodactylus.html
Very funny little geckos.

[snakemann87]

wow thanks for all the replys guys. Im still thinking but im not sure. I may just stick to what ive got until im sure i can take on the new responsibilyt. The pictus gecko is probably my favorite so far though:) And the stenos

Get a larger tank, and some gargoyle geckos......... I never really worked or seen them until recently and I know what i want now.. Man they're gorgeous animals.

[snakemann87]

Any pics?? Are they expensive

[Neo]

viper geckos are pretty small.. i've never really owned one but i've seen pics and a few caresheets.. they dont seem to hard to care for

[stkkts]

get fan footed geckos =D they are cheap. Like 10-20 dollars (US)

Mine is only 4-5 inches. and he is great.

aw is he tame?? what size tank is he in

[stkkts]

tame.....well he doesnt bite =) but he doesnt really like to be held. I dont think they are great for handling, because of their size I guess they can be delicate. But he definately wont bite.

I had kept him and a crocodile gecko in a 10 gallon tank for a year. I recently move the 2 of them into a 20 gallon long, which gives them more room.

The crocodile gecko is pretty boring. He stays hidden most of the time. But the fan foot is always out and roaming around. He is a very curious little guy.

Crested Geckos are my choice, check them out. Good beginner gecko, very tame. Go to the crested gecko forum and check out the pics. The only thing is they require some space. 20 G for one.

Pictus for sure. They are actually very active. Give them plenty of places to hide and climb and you'll have a little circus in no time. Especially when it comes time to feed them all. They are really cool to watch!

[V.hb]

No pics of gargs, sorry.. Look em up on google.com


I have to second T&J B's response.... Pictus geckos are great!!! they're always doing something, very entertaining, and quite cheap!

Helmeted gecko! Awsome LITTLE desert gecko that is fairly easy to keep. My buddy that I used to work with keeps them and they are really awsome little guys. No pics or anything but look um up on google or yahoo.

Cheers, Kyle~

p.s. let us know what you decide on. :)

[Moe]

maybe a small day gecko?

[Moe]

A pair of Uroplatus Ebenauii/ or Phantasticus would work....(not cheap though)
