Exo Terra 12x12x18 ideas?

Perhaps that's because I seem to see them all over every reptile site I visit. I don't know much about them though. Not really a gecko that interests me lol. The chinese cave geckos are getting more popular however. I remember a few years ago couldn't find them anywhere, but they are coming around more often now. Not sure if they are successfully captive bred yet though.

The common flying geckos make my heart go boom though. LOVE their feet!

So many geckos...so little time!

The G. Luii is my favourite. Really neat guys. They used to be found more frequently a decade or so ago. Very easy to take care and very easy to breed. The bright purple and orange bands are awesome! You're right though. Don't see them often anymore.

Pictus geckos (also known as Panthers) were rare too for awhile but then disappeared and now back! These guys are so cute and neat.

Everything comes and goes in circles. No matter what people always follow trends/fads. It generally takes morphs for something to 'stick'.

Sorry, not sure what a G. Luii is (don't know scientific names)

Panthers are adorable, but a bit on the tiny side for me lol. I like having something I can handle confidently without worrying of squishing or dropping them. At least until I get experienced and confident enough to set up a fully 'natural' enclosure and just enjoy them as a display animal.

Luii is a type of cave gecko. I only know a few scientific names! Pretty much the ones I named lol. Now I'm done.

Panthers are pretty hardy. Just smaller african fat tails (probably my second favourites)

Much smaller lol. Don't they tap out at like 2.5 inches?

But hardy and a little chubby. They ain't so bad.

Lol ok. Maybe I'll look into them...though for now, next speices will probably be a Leachie, so I need to start setting aside a savings now and research which type I want and what color type.

Cool! The rhac family got really popular for awhile leading the way with Cresteds. Poor gargoyles and chahoua. Such cool geckos.

A. felinus and A. aff dorsalis are bred regularly here in the states now. Many keepers hatch them with ease, in the US and in Europe. Jordan Russell and Thomas Wood produced / produce a ton. I had a trio of Cbb baby cameron highlands locality from Thomas, they are very easy, but not a 'beginner' species if things like Reverse osmosis water, frequent mistings, and staying away from high temps is difficult for a particular household. They sleep in leaves all day, come out at night like clockwork. Very cryptic, and slow, in everything they do. Feisty, stress easily, but super unique. Can house an adult in a 12x18 comfortably but they do not do as well housed in groups.
