View Full Version : Terestrial/desert gecko suggestions(please)
looking for a new addition that's not a leopard gecko or fat tail. Preferably friendly(at least won't bite)
The setup is home-made, aprox 20gl size. with slate tile substrate. I would like to stay away from any humid environment species.
FIRE AWAY!!!
thanks

what about pictus? They are easy to keep and easy to breed. Only hard thing with them is getting the females to NOT lay eggs LOL

Knobs are expensive but not too many people have them..They are really fascinating and if you decide to breed them they would be a great investment.

Scorpion geckos (Pristurus carteri)?
Thanks Bartman. That's great!!
I'd love a knobtail but toooo expensive.

I'm still thinking of it :)
I don't want a breeding trio though. I'd take the 2 females.
I'm still thinking about a crested too....
I won't be getting anything until I'm back from holidays, so mid July. I'll let you know.

cresteds need around 70-80% humidity, 1 or 2 mistings a day does it
I'm trying to stay away from them because of that, but they are really cool.... saw some helmet geckos today at the expo, very cool. pictus too.... hmmmmmm
