Hello Joseph, and Dad. I too, live in Australia, in Perth. Where are you? I have two types of geckos, southern spiny tail, ( strophurus spinigerus) and smooth knobtailed. ( nephrurus levis. I was seriously considering getting marbled velvet, but the when I saw the face , and in particular, those gorgeous eyes, of the knobtails. I was hooked. I then wanted to get a totally different type, as the knobtails are terrestrial and dig their own tunnels and caves, so then I saw the spiny tails, who are arboreal, and spend most of their time in the branches. You will learn lots from this forum.. .there is a wealth of experience here. Really looking forward to chatting with you more. Feel free to send me a private message ( pm) if you'd like.. Really nice to chat with another Aussie!!/
