Yes, I have them also. I have two males, and am currently searching out females in this area. Nice gecko in your picture, good luck.

Thanks guys.

Jason, they're hard little buggers to find for sale aren't they? :)

Cool little gecko. They look very small, 3 inches??

TLH yup that's about how big they are. Adults usually don't exceed 4-5 inches. The females are slightly larger than the males.

I have a lonely female. Her name is shrieky. She screams and tries to attack me when I try to pick her up. She males a ZZZZZZZZ sound. It's really funny they have no fear. Sometimes my girlfriend will let her bite her finger. She holds on like a little pit bull!

They are really active geckos and excellent hunters. She reminds me of pacman and seems to have a bottomless stomach!

Haha, yeah they're little pigs alright! My one female likes to shriek too. She'll even charge at me if she's in a mood(usually when I'm moving them around to clean the cage).

I'm suprised helmeted geckos aren't as popular as leopard geckos or crested geckos.

I'm surprised too. They're neat little geckos, it's hard to find alot of info about them that's not just the basics.
At the time being I have 2 breeding pairs so I've got my fingers crossed!:)

Mine lays duds on her own so I'm sure you'll have good luck with your pairs.
