I'm not going to anymore.Ive had 2 geckos just get out and chill on my hands for awhile.Now some species aren't.Like Ph.ornata, cepediana,guimbeaui. But grandis,dubia,lineata are all great contestants for geckos that can tolerate handling,and be handled easily.Since these species aren't all that fast.

Sexing pics.Not too sure about these.I think the dubia is a male and the grandis is a female?
Dubia

grandis

Thanks,
Jeff

I know,It got out when I was feeding, so I grabed it causing it to stress.But after that it just chilled.And went to normal green colors.Thouse pics were taken in its stress mode!

Hey Jeff,
I get what you mean buddy. You're just sayin' the gecko may not run away so quickly if held for brief periods of time on occasion. And i dont think the gecko looks all that stressed
