PS:
"Separate notes on the species most commonly kept in captivity will hopefully be of value to prospective keepers, both in helping them to decide whether to keep a particular species, and once having made the decision to proceed, to avoid some of the mistakes which I have made along the way. With collecting from the wild no longer permissible, gecko breeders need to bear in mind that the future of the hobby we find so engrossing is firmly in our hands. We need to ensure that sound husbandry practices are put in place so that healthy stocks of all the species currently in captivity are maintained for the benefit of future keepers.
As is the case with most hobbies, gecko keeping is not at its best when practised in isolation; the exchange of information between enthusiasts is vital both to the development of the interest, and the enjoyment of the participants."
