hmmmm, I might get a Hemidactylus or Pachydacylus thread like this started, then we could see some really oddball stuff

I'm new here on the forums, but I've kept a male Gekko Vittatus for over a year now. (he was rehomed with me).
I just this past Sunday acquired two more that were freebies, a healthy male subadult, and a Juvie. In short:
2.0.1.0. Gekko Vittatus

I was looking for a female ( the person who gave them to me thought the larger of the two was female, but there are definite pores and a bulge there.)
so it looks like I'll have to wait and see what the juvie turns out to be.

I guess we need to talk about this again. This post is for the genus GEKKO not geckos in general. Thats why this post was started in the GEKKO section of the forums. Please read a little close before you post. This has been covered a few times threw out this thread.

I am willing to put money on the fact, that 80% of leopard gecko keepers don't know what "genus" means. This is not to put down leo keepers, but it's just a simple observation: leos are the first gecko that most people get. It's the most common gecko in the trade. Mostly, scientific terms don't need to be known in order to provide proper care.

I dont see the post I was referring to. Someone must of deleted it. But someone posted a bunch of geckos they keep and none were GEKKO.

[Geitje]

1.1.0 Gekko gecko
2.2.2 Gekko grossmanni
4.3.2 Gekko monarchus
2.3.3 Gekko petricolus
1.1.0 Gekko siamensis
2.2.0 Gekko smithii
5.1.0 Gekko sp. (purplish animals with gold eyes, Malaysia)
2.2.2 Gekko ulikovskii

- Additionally, I've kept and bred palmatus, chinensis, japonicus, hokouensis and kikuchii.

Wish there were more dedicated keepers of these interesting and "classic" looking geckos. Perhaps in time there will be.

1.1.8 Gekko gecko
1.1.1 Gecko ulikovskii
Looking to add a lot more.

I agree with Jon 100%. Gekkos are a amazing group. Its a shame people over look them because the 3 common ones are so over imported they have no value and get passed up on.
