And Mr. Happy... not being too happy.

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

Very nice geckos. Mr happy is a very fitting name for him.

I figure if I call him that long enough, he might be "happy" one day....

Awesome geckos, Ashley. They're all very cool. I forgot, but what kind of gecko is Fish? For some reason, I can't remember.

I think the common name is the frog eyed gecko or the wonder gecko.

Derek is right, she's a Frog Eye Gecko

 

[WulfSC]

Yep, Derek, I do believe you're right. Thanks. I don't know how I forgot something so simple. LOL! I think Fish is a cool gecko...and I love the name.

Cool. Thanks. It looks like I might have to get one sometime soon. Are they easy to care for?

 

[ento890]

Very easy. I keep mine in rubbermaid containers with holes drilled. I use sand as a subtrate since they love to burrow, a water dish, mealie bowl, calci bowl, and a hide. I spray them once a night and use a heat pad underneath. They eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. This girl wipes out a bowl of mealworms everynight. They are extremely fast and can not be picked up.

I hope to purchase a male for her next month and should have babies available by fall :main_thumbsup:

Handling geckos for pictures or health checks is one thing, handling them just because you want to play with them is something different. I regularly pick up my leaf tails to assess weight, check for injuries, see if females are gravid, etc. I do this once a week or so for 10 min periods max. They are easily stressed and are not "hands on" reptiles, but handling for necessary tasks or picture sessions for short periods of time won't hurt them.

The Uro I rarely handle. I took her weight, took a couple of snapshots, and then put her back in the cage. Like T-Rex said, they stress easily.
