I am lokking for a small gecko to breed. I was hopeing to find a gecko that comes in many morphs, easy to breed, cheap, and that a male and female can live in a 10-20gal tank. and not a leopard gecko (already have them ;) )

thanks :)

There aren't many other gecko species who've been bred for as long and come in as many morphs as Leos...

Do you have a preference between desert or rainforest geckos?

I think you'd be hard pressed to come up with a gecko species that shows more variety in colors and morphs than Crested geckos, though they'd need a bit more space (30gal for a pair, 20gal for a single adult).

In case you've got your heart set on the the African Clawed Gecko - Holodactylus afrcianus - picturedi in your link, it's actually showing a Stenodactylus species (not sure which, I'm not good at ID'ing them).
Holodactylus aren't cheap and easy, they're cheap and tricky until they're settled in. Breeding isn't easy either, check some of the threads in this forum to see what's involved.

One thing to remember - cheap and easy isn't always a good combination. You will likely have trouble selling offrspring. The local market will be flooded in no time, you'll have to look into shipping, which could be a pain to do.
