[crestiegal]

Hello,

I have had a leopard gecko who passed away when he was about 7 years old. I am also currently incubating 2 crested gecko eggs (my first cresties) and I also have a baby bearded dragon, cats, dogs, frogs, fish and Land Hermit crabs.

I have another tank available, and was just wondering if frog-eyed gecko would be a good choice? Do they have skin like a snake? the pics make it look so. Are they friendly? Is there anything special about their species that make them either good or bad pets?

I appreciate your time and I hope to hear back from somebody soon! Thank alot!

Frogeyed's don't make excellent pets in the sense that they don't like to be handled, etc.
In my opinion they have every right to!
So if you want something to cuddle; take a bunny
But if you want a magnificent creature that shows all sorts off interesting behaviour, is nice to look at and makes you laugh when he/she is licking it's enormous eyes; take a frogeyed gecko! You never get bored by them, trust me!!!!!
Kind regards,

Cindy

Experienced sensible gecko keepers will advise you NOT to handle geckos unless necessary. Stop telling people to constantly handle their geckos Eli or you time will come to an end here very quickly.

Eli, Eli, Eli. As soon as you stop ruining peoples threads with you own insane brand of drivel then I'll stop replying. Geckos aren't for petting, full stop. Petting is for fluffy things that fetch your slippers. Please show me an article that encourages you let picta "hang out with you outside". There's not one person here that will back up your style of gecko husbandry. No-one. Ever wonder why?

I won't have newcomers being taught nonsense and getting their animals hurt because you encouraged them to pet it or 'train it with misting' whatever that is (don't bother telling me, I don't want to know)

Bottom-line? You are a terrible gecko keeper. You never listen to advice and your grasp of English is like a cross between Pee Wee Herman and Lil' Bow Wow. Only less coherent.

Do you honestly think your gecko knows it's name? Trust me it doesn't. If it comes to you when the viv is open then either a) It's looking to be fed or b) It's trying to escape.

Do you honestly think a reptile likes being rubbed on the head? It doesn't! Geckos are individuals but NO gecko 'likes' to be petted! Some will just tolerate it better than others. "Tolerate" not "Enjoy".

How many people, how many experienced gecko keepers have told you this? Are we all liars?
