most vocal gecko

[geckosailor]

It been a long time I posted…and I’m not sure where to post this type so it seem appropriate here since I would like to know which gecko is very vocal.
Well I was wondering…I would like to add more geckos to my collections , I’m considering of having a Coleonyx elegans elegans in the future along with the remaining Coleonyx species(well, not all just some of the remaining species)since their my favorite species (but that depends on the price that Coleonyx elegans elegans are usually offered )
I wanted one of the Goniurosaurus species but I though I should just let go on that dream of owning one since they seem expensive. I’m also considering adding a house gecko on the list of future additions, and as I though about the old times when I own two house gecko I always love hearing them when they make many type of noises at night when I try to sleep, now plans of having an house gecko may change since it seem I to wanted a gecko that very vocal. which geckos are very vocal?

The loudest is probably Gekko smithii. They used to be Gekko stentor, named after the Greek town crier because of their loud booming voice. Homer said his voice "was as powerful as hundred voices of other men", so you can see they aren't quiet little suckers.
I had 2.3 (later 3.4). set up in the community tank, along the east wall of the herp room in the basement. I could still hear their bark on the west side of the living room, which is located directly above, through the floor, insulation and carpeting and about 25 feet distance. By the time the noise reached me it wasn't as loud as in the herp room, but clearly audible and identifiable. I sometimes felt sorry for the other critters in the room with them, since they had to live with it.

The Mourning Gecko (Lepidodactylus lugubris) is very vocal. When kept in groups there is always chirping, clicking and other weird noises. They just love to talk, even as juvies.
