Not ugly at all to me! Nice gecko you got! Congrats. Does it hide a lot or come out often?

I've got a few of them too. They aren't very sociable gex, but they sure are comical to observe.

Wow! Are their legs always long and tiny like the one you got??

Repti, that is why they are called spider gecko, long legs and the way they will run too kinda reminds of a spider
Cute lil bugger (uh bugeater)!
Dunno, it's maybe just me, but it reminded me of a water dragon a little...

Just a headsup, mk:
When you find your little persica with it's legs all extended back, prostrate, with it's mouth open, its simply thermoregulating and not dead or overheating. Its the funniest thing to see once you realize what's going on. The first time I observed this, I thought the little gecko must be ready to explode.

I don't think they're ugly at all. In fact I think they're quite cute and very neat looking. :)

Too cute! :D I love those guys -- if I'd had some money to spend at the show, I totally would've been bringing home a pair :) Congrats on the new addition!
