Nice. Im just getting into geckos, and I love them.

Picking up some cresteds this week, then some panthers, and a leo or two at San Diego. What I really want is some Pine Island leachies though.

not bad....from the video you can see their somewhat chill, but can be fast....at that time didnt seem to be bitey...last nit the biggest female which is over 15inch got a good chunck of my middle finger...lol, not as bad as a tokay or leachie but their was blood....their always out in the open chilling under their light, dont hide too much. thay make an odd sound......i guess they make a crying sound too.

I just got my first pet AFT gecko. He's awesome. I say pet because I've helped breed geckos before but didn't handle them much myself. This guy is beautifull, I may just let myself fall down this rabbit hole, if my husband doesn't flip!
