what is the best kind of geckos?

[hirschy75]

i am looking to purchase a gecko because i think that they are pretty cool but i don't know what kind to buy. it is my first gecko but not my first lizard? i am looking for a relatively easy gecko to take care of and i would prefer something that dosen't only eat crickets but something easy. any suggestions would be most helpful
thanks,
matt

Voted Crested or Leopards for a beginner lizard. It is really up to you...no point in keeping an animal unless it is something that you really want to keep

I voted Crested and Leopard geckos, I keep both and love them both for different reasons.

Both are very different species, but both have alot of qualities. Both tolerate handling very well. It just depends on you and what you would like to keep. Would you rather have a desert dwelling animal that requires very low humidity? Or would you rather have a rainforest animal with lots of foliage? Remember leos eat only insects and cresties can eat fruit and insects. Both are fun and rewarding.

i voted leopard because i love my little guy, and he is my first gecko as well. I dont know about any of the other geckos, so i could be wrong. I have heard that crested and leos are the best begginer geckos though.

In my eyes, the crested geckos are hands down the easiest to keep out of all geckos!

I voted other.
I am going to have to say African fat tail... similar to leos but different colors and slightly different requirements.

Easy to keep and real lookers if ya ask me

crested and leopards are best for beginners. to some extent i think cresteds are easier because they don't require any supplemental heating and don't require a diet that consists mainly of insects.

[Schlyne]

I find leopard geckos to be easier for me, but I raise several different types of feeder insects on a regular basis. I prefer not having to mix diet all the time.

Also leopard geckos pick one spot to poop in all the time. Cresties poop everywhere

I'm a fan of the Gargoyle Geckos more than any other.

Here is a link, I know nothing of this breeder though. He has the best pics and caresheet I could find though:

cresteds are awsome, many morphs, same easy to care for gecko.
