Default Favorite Nephrurus?

Hey All,

I'm curious to know everyone's favorite nephrurus species an why? Although I really like them all, I'm becoming more and more partial to the milii....milii? really? Anyone who has worked with them should understand where I'm coming from- they are just so chill! It's like they almost live in slow motion. Although I have to say, I am growing more and more partial to wheeleri as well....

milii being Nephrurus is an old wives' tale perpetuated only by old wives.

Fair enough. I'm only going by current classification systems. From what I understand milii are currently classified as a Nephrurus. Chances are that this classification will not be adopted by everyone, just as many people refuse to recognize Green Tree Pythons as Morelia but rather Chondropython. Where ever you decide to put them they are still very unique little geckos...

I think amyae are my favorites....lots of personality, a outright crazy appearance with their giant eyes, weird feet and skin texture. Plus they are fairly easy to keep. Their size is cool too, something about holding a big, chill gecko that really is sweet.

I like the look and varibility of the levis as well, the myriad of patterns and colors they can have is pretty fantastic.

classification doesn't work on the popular vote of backyarders.
