Leo vs AFT

I take it there arent many leo owners here?? I love leos but recently I've starting having a preference over african fat tails. No im not descriminating between my two herps. Does anyone here have either? Which do you like better and why?

i have both, about 5 aft and 40 leo
i like them both. aft's seem to be more docile.
i know leo's are docile too but i have been bitten by my big breeder males and they tear chuinks of skin off my 2-300.00 females which makes they look like garbage.,
if u just want pets, aft's are way cooler, and not as popular as leo's less likely for your friends to have a similar one.
if u want to breed them do leopard geckos. i have not been able to breed aft's yet. they seem to be alittle harder.

I've worked with both and I prefer the african fat tails. They generally are a lot more calm right out of the egg. Easy to care for just like the leopard gecko. I think they are very underrated.

I seem to prefer the leo's only for their pure and utter easy to breed factor, I helped a friend do it, because he was stupid, but it was one of the easiest things to get a clutch from i think

40 leos??? WOW! I have one of each but since I got my aft its like I do prefer their calmness. Sorry rocky!!
