The idea just popped into my head that it might be nice to get some lizards again.. So I thought that after I've had the half dwarf burm for a while (A year maybe? This is just a random idea that I had.) I was thinking it might be cool to get another group of Flying Geckos, Ptychozoon kuhli. I thought maybe a group of 1.3.. What do you guys think?

I just love how intelligent the little guys are. My last pair, they would look at me and then cock their heads to the side, like they were trying to get a better look at me, it was funny to watch. The male also had a habit of raising his tail over his back like a scorpion, and then waving it a little, that was super cool to watch.
 
I kept a pair once, they are my favorite geckos by far. Pretty easy to care for, surprisingly cheap, and it is freaking AWESOME watching them eat. They have a bunch of different tactics for slaughtering bugs, but all of them end with the same result: The bug dies on impact. My last pair would actually jump and catch them in mid-air as I dropped the crickets into the tank. Then, they'd sometimes sit upside down on a branch and wait for one to go under.. Once I saw the male hang by his two back feet and wait.. In any case, they are awesome little lizards, the only downside is that not all of them are handle-able, but that's mainly because a bunch are wild caught, cb ones are usually able to be handled if the breeder handles them as babies.

wow that sounds sweet. i would totally go for it. Get yourself some dubai roaches...bigger targets, better dive bombs.....death from above :headbang2
 
my babysitter when i was little had a pair. they rocked. he kept them in a giant mesh tank that went from one side of his bed to the other and pretty tall, so they would glide from side to side grabbing bugs. they rock, really bitey though. personally more of a rhacodactylus or phelsuma guy though when it comes to arboreals

Well, apparently there are some that aren't, mainly well handled cb ones.
