Any one know of any eylid type geckos like leos, this is the list so far

leos
african fat tails
cats
banded (CA,TX,etc)
cave geckos (jap and Chinese)
Big bent?


Any one have any thing to ad to this list, i already have the fat tails coming and i want to get another colony of something that has eylids. I have 3 different roach colony so feeding everyone and housing them wont be a problem so shoot me some ideas. I was going to start with the cats but i heard alot of mixed reviews on them. I wont mind working with leos but lets face it there is already a million breeders out there and theres no market for them so i would be stuck with the babies forever. I'm not doing it for the money, the only reason i stated that is because its true and i want to work with non related animals or at least something i could out cross with Wc ones. There all beautiful geckos so lets hear your opinions on them

Thanks,Bryan

There are 28 species in the eyelid gecko family Eublepharidae. There are 6 genera in this family. Having an eyelid is actually an ancestral trait in geckos, so the Eublepharids are among the most 'primitive' of the geckos. The family is not as diverse as...say... Gekkonidae. The breakdown is as follows:

Aeluroscalabotes felinis: cat gecko

Coleonyx brevis: Texas banded gecko
Coleonyx elegans: Yucatan banded gecko
Coleonyx fasciatus: black banded gecko
Coleonyx mitratus: central American banded gecko
Coleonyx reticulatus: reticulate banded gecko
Coleonyx switaki: Switak's banded gecko
Coleonyx variegatus: western banded gecko

Eublepharis angramainyu: Iraqi eyelid gecko
Eublepharis hardwickii: East Indian leopard gecko
Eublepharis macularius: common leopard gecko
Eublepharis turcmenicus: Turkmenistan leopard gecko

Goniurosaurus spp.: This genus only contained 2 species until 2008, when taxonomists apparently split the group into 11 different species. The most common species in the pet trade, however, is Goniurosaurus luii, the Chinese cave gecko.

Hemitheconyx caudicinctus: African fat-tailed gecko
Hemitheconyx taylori: Taylor's fat-tailed gecko

Holodactylus africanus: African clawed gecko
Holodactylus cornii: East African clawed gecko
