Day Gecko info please

[BlackMako]

I'm interested in getting another reptile (especially a gecko) even though my parents are mostly against it. I want a non-nocturnal gecko that's not so fragile that it can't be handled, but I don't want a massive lizard. I am new to geckos, having a leo myself, would want one gecko to hold in the day and one to hold at night. Is a day gecko the right animal for me? Should I wait until I'm more experienced before purchasing another reptile? How much do the day geckos cost, and can they be bought from a local reptile store or would I have to get it from a breeder? Are they easy to maintain? How big do they get?

Thanks,

BlackMako

Well day geckos shouldnt be handled so there kinda out of the question. because of delicate skin and there skittish nature. MOst species are easily found and are somewat easy to care for if all the requirements are met.

The most handlable lizards out there are nocturnal. Fat tails, leopards, cresteds.. As long as they aren't being pestered every day it should matter what time of day you handle them.

Day geckos.. do not like to be handled, and it's detrimental to them. Day geckos range in size from 2-3 inches to about 8-9 inches. They are escape artists.. but besides that are pretty easy to care for.. just not your pick up and show your friends lizards.
