Choosing Something.

[Tylervsmith]

Just wondering what you all would do.

I am really deabating on what to get for my 125.
Just to clarify, it is not an ALL glass cage. 3 of the sides are glass but the front long side is screen.

I cant decide whether I want a terrestrial or arboreal GECKO. I really want to expand my geck collection.
Already have a pari of CG's that will give me some more soon, but am also wanting to get into something else.
I may not be able to acquire something new till the summer months...




Criteria:
Some type of Gecko.
Good in the tank mentioned.
Not common in the trade.
Can be, Pairs, Trios, or quadrios(whatever the species is most comfortable with.
ANd hopefully 300 or less for the group.

So what do you suggest?

hey whats up with those leaf tail geckos i dont see them much anymore,and your screened front deal,i guess you know some that wont mind such an aired tank?

 

[Tylervsmith]

well the air part would be the same as a tank with a screen top with all glass sides. the top is glass.


and


Uroplatus sikorae are an amazing looking species but are a little smaller than i expected. maybe tank split in half for them. but



More IDEAS?



I also thought the tail on Ptychozoom Kuhli were cool.

arboreal... not any of those fat tailed ground dwelling species...
I know you have a crestie... what about other similar species... gargoyles or something. Always thought leachies were cool, but duno if you have the resources for them.

How tall is the tank? If you go arboreal you need some room on the top. If you have enough room you should go with a Leachie. The biggest gecko I believe.

If you got a pair of Rhacodactylus leachianus, you'd be the man!

Get like a trio of giant day geckos that would be really sweet! You could make such a cool display tank out of that.

Seems like a huge waste of a 125 just for a pair of geckos....

 

[evilxyardxgnome]

I don't know, it wouldn't be a waste if thats what he wants. Plus a breeding colony of Leachies would be sweet

 

[Ophiuchus]

Yeah..."waste" is kinda strong of a word...but I couldn't think of anything else. My viewpoint is that you can put geckos in anything...but if I had a 125, I'd think of something that would use the space better.

But to each his own...
