Was just curious... What's everyone's opinion on your favorite non-Rhac gecko? Feel free to weigh in on which ones are easiest to care for, cutest, coolest, easiest to handle, or any other characteristics that make them the best in your opinion. I am thinking of broadening my horizons into other gecko species and am trying to decide which ones I should research in depth Smiley

Thanks!

ive always been a fan of giant day geckos (p.grandis) ive never owned one, although i did have a smaller day gecko of some sort about 6 years ago. im not a fan of the gieco comecials but oh well. depending on my sucess this year with cresties (first time breeding/ incubating eggs) i may look into them in the future

I actually think Tokays are one of my favorite. The amount of unfettered rage in such a small animal is just awesome.

Leopard geckos would be my first choice, but the australian knob tails would be my next, at least in regards to the way they look.

I completely agree!  I love my female grandis and would love another. That, or a pair of peacock day geckos...

I really love my u. sikorae sikorae... though I also like my halmahara and my pictus... and the dune geckos 2 shows ago in white plains were really cute... I just can't decide, tho halmahara & sikorae are pretty close to first.

I bought a pair of halmaheras in september, and they are fast becoming one of my favorites. They have so much personality, and their coloration is just so cool--almost like a chewie.

I had not been familiar with the Madagascar velvets, but in looking at your site and googling them, they look AWESOME. Almost like a halmahera with orange eyes. Are they difficult to keep?

I like to see some different types of geckos being bred. Especially then to be able to purchase CBB instead of WC.
I have a few things now that I am working with that are WC and you just run the risk of so many things going wrong,mites,worms,not eating,ect....
Would like to see some photos of yours  Smiley
