My daughter's ( age 8 and 9) have been wanting a lizard and we tried discouraging them. We told them to do their research and price everything out. Our main concern is that they would grow uninterested in it. To our surprise they read and read and researched for hours. The learned about all kinds of geckos and which one would best suit our lifestyles. We finally decided to go for it. We ended up finding a 2 1/2 year old female that needed a new home on craiglist so we brought her home last night. She came with a 20 galloon tank, some hides, and some supplies. She was on orange sand though and we've read that is bad (and she is stained from it!). Anyways, today we spent a lot of time at a local reptile store to buy her some new hides, a new mealworm bowl, some decorations, etc. She seems to like her new digs. For a gecko, I have to say she's pretty cute!
