    What you suggest?

    Hey all I'm looking into gettin first pair of geckos and I was wondering what ones to get since I have a 16"x12"x12" for younger an when I'm done building my BPs case they will get moved into a 30" 12", so my question is what type will work using these glass cages? Thank you for any replies like I said new to geckos.

    I've always been told that Leopard Gecko's make the good pets, there is lots of information on them here in the Gecko section too! A nice thing about them is that they look really cool, you get different colours, and they don't need the expensive UVB lights that some reptiles need!

    Ya I read a lil on them but not sure if the cage sizes will work for them. I was looking at them the fat tails and the crested but wanna get the ones that will fit right so they not stressed about space

    I'd reccomend AFT, I have those and they're nocturnal so no need for special lighting. I think a couple females would do okay in the 30" as adults, although you want a seperate enclosure for a male if you want to breed. If breeding isn't an issue a couple females should do okay.

    Not an expert in geckos at all, mind you. I've only had mine a couple years.

    2nd that!!!

    Crested Gecko's don't require any special set-ups either. Just some perches to crawl on.
