to E. agricolae? or not to E. agricolae? that is the question!

So I've got the chance to grab a juvie male agri for cheap. The only problem is I have no real space right now.
Basically my question is, are these guys really that awesome? It's either them next or some Nephrurus/Underwoodisaurus .
I'm at the whim of the forum, let me know.

They are incredible. If you can get a male for cheap, grab him. They are like no other geckos and don't compare to Nephrurus in any way. These are a slow moving species, arboreal and fun to work with.

Hi!
When I got my first pair of agricolae, I thought they were nothing special, but I was so wrong. I've kept quite a few gecko species and they are definitely one of the most interesting geckos I've ever kept and bred.
I fell in love with Eurydactylodes very quickly.

+ points: small size (TL 10 to 12 cm), unique appearance, slow moving, great personality, not nervous, night and partially day active, care very similar to ciliatus, etc.

- points: zero

You can keep the babies in a very simple small plastic terrariums.

Strong points! I agree with keeping the babies, they are easy as long as you keep them in a humid environment. I have noticed mine are active all day and all night...any time I go in my gecko room I notice they are up and active.

Yes, I spray all my Eurydactylodes every night.
I keep babies individually in small plastic terrariums with just a piece of cork and a piece of plastic ivy, so they feel more secure. I think they grow better that way.

Eurys are some of the coolest geckos I keep, don't know how I survived without them!!

UPDATE: I had to back out of the deal on the male agricolae:sad:
I've been needing to swap the motor out of my truck for some time now and tonight the old motor took a turn for the worse. Had to redirect some finances....

Anyways, if anyone wants a male agri for cheap let me know and I'll give you the breeder's email.

I hate when I'm wrong! Rearranged finances again, so I'm still getting the agricolae :biggrin:

just to bring up an old topic, but now I have a happy trio of the guys and eggs in the incubator
