I'm not really sure how popular geckos are with females, or reptiles at all are, for that matter, but I've recently gotten interested in bringing a reptile into my home.
I've been an hermit crab owner for ~5 years total, and have surprisingly accumulated almost all I'd need for a gecko through them.
(I'm a hard core hermit crab owner that spoils them like they're my children)
I recently bought a new 20 gallon long aquarium off someone on craiglist who had an... umaschyx... something :main_huh: and him sharing his passion for his lizard for the little bit we stood and talked, made me want to research lizards.
I've opted for a gecko because they /seem/ to be good starter reptiles, and I personally think they're cute.
I've also thought about anoles, long tailed lizards, and a few other small native lizards but they seem a little too human-cautious to me.
Idealy I'll eventually own another 5-lined skink. If I can ever find a breeder of them.
I had one as a child that I caught at school, and ever since then I've wanted to do it again, but do it right this time But I'd rather find a breeder than take one from the wild :main_thumbsdown:
I'm hoping this place can be a great resource
I realize that the internet can have a lot of conflicting information on pet care, so hopefully this place will turn up being the most clear and correct with care.
I'm also planning to get gecko at the repticon coming to charlotte in November.
do they even sell reptiles? is it smart to get a gecko from that kind of show?
