Looking Into a New Gecko!
Hi, I am looking into purchasing another gecko and was wondering what ya'll would recommend. So to give you some background, I currently own a crested gecko and have for a couple months now. So, I was wondering what a beginner to intermediate gecko would be. Thinking about another crested, but don't really want a leopard gecko, or a super common species. I have been looking into leachianus geckos, and pictus geckos, as they are both very un-regularly kept species.

It will depends on your budget mainly and ease of care.
Easiest kept like crested aside from the enclosure size will be Gargoyles, Chahouas, Leachies.
We are talking from $75 to $1000.

I think that a leachie would be a really good animal for me. What size cage would you recommend?

As a minimum you want 18 x 18 x 24 or bigger if you can but remember a young individual will do better in something smaller at first.

Re: Looking Into a New Gecko!
I found out that Exo-Terra has a small X-Tall which is 18x18x36 which would probably be perfect, but would I want to start a baby off in something like the 12x12x18 (the mini tall)?

Re: Looking Into a New Gecko!
So I actually did a TON of research, and learned that as baby’s you want to keep them in something around the size of a 5 gallon tank or a medium critter keeper. And that’s up until they get 5-6”. Them you can move them up to something like a 12x12x18, and when they get probably around 9-10” you can move them into a 18x18x24 or 18x18x36.

Lol so evil!!. I had a tokay as kid and that thing was satan in lizard form. I had to use a dowel stick to chase him from one side to the other when cleaning his cage. Also that evil lizard would bark at night and bite the heads off pinkie mice leave the bodies on the floor of the cage but eat the heads. It was one pure evil lizard haha.
