What kind of Geckos do you keep?

[Manitoban Herps]

There are so many interesting gecko species out there, I just need to know :)

I keep:

1.1.0 White lined Geckos (Gekko vittaus)
1.1.0 Tokay Geckos (Gekko gecko)
1.2.0 Leopard Geckos (Eublepharis macularius)
2.0.0 African Fat tail Geckos (Hemitheconyx caudicinctus)
0.1.0 Crocodile Gecko (Tarentola mauritanica)
0.1.0 Mediterranean Gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus)

And my female leopard is gravid and my white lined geckos have 3 eggs :)

What geckos do you keep?

[HeatherRose]

Just cresties! Many, many cresties...I have an addiction to these googly eyed little monsters.

I've kept a tokay but he tried to maul myself and my loved ones so he found his way into Matt_K's collection :p

While we're at it though, my wish list consists of R. Leachianus Geckos and Knobtail Geckos :D

[Slannesh]

Just Leos for now.. but I really love Crested, Tokay and Leaftails as well :)

[Manitoban Herps]

Cool!

I have kept my tokay for over 5 years and have not got bitten YET...

I would also love some knobies....:)

[Matt_K]

Well, like Heather I too only own Cresties.. In the past I've had Tokays, Leopards, House Gecko's and have considered Grandis but never dove in. But the Cresties will just have to suffice as they're my favorite Gecko by far!! :D

I keep crested geckos. I hope to acquire some satanic leaf tails soon. I plan on getting many leaf tails when i'm older!! And more Rhacs would never hurt :P

Mike

[CDN-Cresties]

[adamofsound]

1.0.0 gargoyle
1.1 scorpion gecko, pristurus carteri (avatar)

I have 0.0.2 frogeye geckos. 2.2 normal leos and three hypo tang baby leos and one het for blizzard baby leo. I'd have a room full of geckos if I had the time for so many. What I have takes u my spare time and keeps me out of trouble (most of the time)

[clint545]

1.2.0 Crested
1.1 Helmeted
2.8.2 Leopard

I really like any Rhacs and knob tails too!

[CanadianJackson]

1.1.3 cresteds
1.4 African fat tail
1.1 helmeted

[RepTylE]

Since I do like Helmeteds I am glad to see that there are a few people who have them. Maybe I'll be looking to get a few in the future :)

[GekkoGeck0]

For now, all I keep is:

0.1 Tokay (Gekko gecko)
1.0 Web-footed gecko (Palmatogecko rangei)

I plan on getting a couple girls for the web-footed gecko, and I'd love to get a crested in the future.

[little_dragon_]

4.4 crested geckos
2.1 phants
2.2 leopard geckos
0.1 helmeted gecko
I'm getting another 1.4 of cresteds next week.
They are taking over!

[marisa]

I currently only keep

1.0 Golden Gecko
0.1 Leopard Gecko

:D

I am very interested in getting some Crested Geckos though, very soon hopefully, and in the future I would LOVE some GIANT! geckos among other things. Day Geckos are beautiful as well.

[damzookeeper]

Too many to count!! But only 3 species. Leos, fat tails, and cresteds. I have 6 fatties, 6 cresteds and way too many leos. lol, trying to cut that collection down to just my super hypo pastels and tang lines. Might keep my red stripe male and stripe females. But I"ve decided to sell all others. I know I have well over 100 but haven't actually counted them lately.

[Betty Miskie]

When I read this post I thought, wow, I wonder how many we have so I started to count.
We have the following give or take a couple,
5.6.13 cresties, 0.0.1 Chahoua, 4.8.1 regular/striped fattails, 1.3.0 amel fattails, 1.0.0 het fattail, 3.15.0 leos and 0.1.0 pictus.

you all have ALOT!. My parents wont let me get anymore lizards.:(
but still, im happy with my crested, my leo, viper gecko pair, and my giant day gecko. The vipers had babies but i was forced to give them away. (great lizards)

Anyone thinking of the day gecko, should definetly go for it. Handling is a nono, but jeez its fun to watch him eat!

[Geofft]

thats a crappy pic, but heres one of my day gecko, slightly brown from the stress i caused snapping photos.

[silent_truth]

My current list is as follows:

1.0 Frog-eyed gecko
1.2 Pictus geckos
2.2 Leopard geckos
1.1 Crested geckos
2.8 African fat tail geckos

Numbers aren't as much fun without some pics though, so here's a few shots, some more recent and some a little older.

[reptiguy420]

I currently have 0.0.6 baby cresteds, and 1.1 Leachies

[Manitoban Herps]

Cool!

Silent Truth, now that I saw those fat tail geckos and the enclousures I have to go clean them, and make a cool new cage!

[Double J]

I keep a few species of geckos....

0.0.2 Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis
3.8.2 Lygodactylus kimhowelli
1.0 Lygodactylus picturatus
2.1 Paroedura pictus
1.1 Ptyodactylus guttatus
1.1.1 Rhacodactylus ciliatus

I'd like to beef up the Phelsuma and Lygodactylus portion of my collection. My Lygodactylus kimhowelli project is going great. They are fabulous little geckos.... and the babies are absolutely microscopic. They are the perfect gecko for a dart frog keeper.... they take the same sized prey.... and that means fruit flies!

Here is a link to pics of Lygodactylus kimhowelli on the GGA website. Check them out... they are one of my favorite species.. though that seems quite obvious :)

[Manitoban Herps]

Those are beautiful, have you bred them before?

I thinkry one should have White lined Geckos in there collection for many reasons.

[beanersmysav]

My list seems to grow by the week for geckos :D

1.2 Leopard Geckos
1.1.5 Crested Geckos
1.0 Pictus Gecko

Really want another female pictus, another female crested, leaf tailed geckos, and knob tail geckos. At the show I was at there was a 1.5 col. of Knob Tails for 250.00 I was tempted to buy it but didn't have the money, and didn't want to charge the ole' credit card. :-/

If you are referring to the Lygodactylus kimhowelli, yes I have. I have babies cruising around, eggs, as well as gravid females. These geckos fairly prolific... but the babies require VERY small food, so you have to have fruit fly cultures going, as the "pinhead" crickets you get from pet shops are just too big. I will post some pics of my Lygodactylus geckos later this week in their own thread.

[Dark_Angel_25]

Personally I have the following:

0.1.1 Leopard Geckos
0.0.1 Flying Gecko
0.1.0 AFT
1.1.0 Cresteds

I ha a pictus, but it womehow mysteriously escaped.. still havent figured that one out....

[Dani33]

I've got:

1.3 Leopard geckos
1.0 AFT
1.0.1 Cresteds

I would like another crestie and some gargoyles :)
