Default Leachie question...

Someone nearby my house is selling a baby leachie. I am currently looking into getting a new gecko and was hoping for a sarasinorum or chahoua, but I was wondering if this is something worth me looking into. I know they are the largest gecko species and I realize I will need quite a large enclosure for it when it gets older. Should I wait and try to find what I set out for to egin with or take this opportunity?

Have you read up much on their care, temperament, ect? Would you be willing to breed him/her in the future once he/she matures?

Do a little research on them first and don't jump right into them. They are the largest gecko species, but there are different locales that get different sizes. A Nuu Ana is going to be much smaller than a Yate for example. Also, it's a common misconception that the biggest geckos need the biggest vivariums...not 100% true with leachies. They actually like to be "hugged" in their enclosure, and tend to do better with less space than you'd imagine.
