Does anyone care to share their opinion on whether or not it would be a good first gecko?

[Geckos and Goannas]

No. I recomend a Leo first to get the hang of eublepharines.

Goniurosaurus in general demand alittle more care than Leopard Geckos do. Leopards are also more robust and allow for a larger margin of error. Besides that, Goniurosaurus are more of a secretive gecko, they prefer to hide out most of the time instead of chilling out in the open where they are viewable. If you do deside to go with a G. Luii though, please read up on them first and feel free to ask questions
