I always thought they looked very similar to a baby water dragon... It's probably not what they were going for, but they're cute little green guys.

Get out!!!! They don't? :rolleye2:

If you want to get into day geckos, I recommend getting one from the Christensen's or at least buying their book on day geckos first. It's very good.

Also, all day gecko species except for one, cannot be handled, the skin is too fragile.

I used to have day geckos, little buggers wouldn't shut their yaps..... I finally had to feed em to the snakes in order to get some peace and quiet.

They changed the appearance of the gecko since his airing.

It used to be a skunk gecko, Gekko vittatus.

Hmmm I don't know if I'd want to live with a lizard that's trying to sell me insurance all day long. :D

LOL, wouldnt that be funny! could you imagine? would you call it geico? hehe.. that would be awesome to see it walk on its hind legs too :carrot:

youd be surprised how many people think that geckos are called geicos nowadays....

and how many people think that all geckos look like the geico gecko. :rolleyes:

Oh god yes... people come into the pet store where I work all the time, see the crested geckos and go "oh look, the geico gecko!" I hold back from rolling my eyes and say "no, the day gecko is over here". We have a baby giant day gecko, it's quite cute, but super fast. I wouldnt want one unless I wanted something just for a display. I never really much liked the way they look though. Cresties are much cuter.
