Gargoyles

[Byrns149]

Hey, Im really new to the Rhacodactylus species and im pretty shure Rhacodactylus Leachianus is the same thing as a gargoyle right? I also have a question. Are Leachies or Gargoyles tame? Like are they the same as Cresties? Thanks to whoever replies.

Gargoyles are Rhadactylus auriculatus

I have no idea how tame leachies are as I don't own any.
But comparing the tameness between a crestie and a garg can only be done, I think, based on age and size.
The smaller and younger a gecko is, I find that they are more jumpy and active.
The older and bigger they get, the calmer they are.
My garg is less jumpy than cresties of similar age.
But she's also bigger. And she was jumpier when we first got her.

Handling calms them.

We don't handle our leachie a lot, but she's fine when we do. She jumps way less than our crested geckos, but she's a lot bigger, too.
