I love gecko's soo much I wish I could have some.. but my mom won't let me and I can't afford all the tank and stuff I will get some one day.

I want to see everyone's geckos tell me about them.. are they good pets?

My college has some gecko's. We have a leopard gecko, a frog-eyed gecko which is evil XD and another type of leopard gecko which has a really really long name. We have loads of other reptiles too

I upload some piccs

Opinions ain't facts, take them in and let them go.

Yes and no really, it depends on what species you are considering. Some species of Gecko are more suitable as display animals, rather than for handling.

Almost all geckos consume live insects, so this is something you will have to take into account. Other members of the household may not be comfortable with the idea of creepy-crawlies.

Before buying any reptile, don't just consider the cost of buying the equipment. Veterinary fees can be expensive should your reptile require treatment, unless you take out third party exotic pet insurance, you will also have to find a vet that deals with reptiles. These reptiles can live for 15-20 years if well cared for, so be prepared for a long-term commitment.

Rather than buying a Gecko from a pet shop, source a reputable breeder or a good reptile dealer instead. If buying from a dealer, the staff should be knowledgable on the species and not just make random guesses when confronted with questions. Check the validity of the advice you've been given on a good forum before parting with your cash.

That has also helped me, thank you! We was going to buy from pets at home, but ive just questioned myself! lol

Leopard geckos are good pets if you know how to look after them. They can give you quite a fright sometimes if you're not sure what's going on, though!

They're not good if you want to keep multiple animals in one tank, though. Females may fight and hurt each other, and males will DEFINITELY fight and hurt/kill each other.

African Fat-Tailed geckos are similar in size and appearance, but have slightly different housing requirements.

Here's my little 8-year-old leo:

how do they give you a fright then? do they play dead? lol
