I'm finally following my dream to own some reptiles, geckos specifically (I've loved them forever~). This forum has already been an immense help, so I decided to stop lurking and just join in haha.
Currently I own 3 tiny House Geckos (H. turcicus) and they seem to be doing well. 2 boys and 1 girl, boys are in separate tanks for obvious reasons. I realize they are a display type, but I'm totally fine with that since I just like to spy on them as they snap up their crickets (soon dubias). The most handling they have is from me cleaning their tank, since I don't like stressing them and definitely do not want to break tails.
Also I realize these are not super eye catching guys to most, but I grew up in FL with these + anoles (and iguanas randomly) running around, and I just always loved them and their tiny lizard antics. So when I had a friend offer me some I of course had to say yes and become 100% all over the idea of owning geckos. I would like to own more eventually, but my little guys are enough for now and learn more about proper care of these guys.
The one photo of my little girl in hand was taken while tank cleaning just to show something of a size scale. I tend to herd her onto my hand or the temp container while replacing paper towels instead of actually picking her up. So tiny I don't want to hurt her ahah
(this is all my girl)
(small male)
(larger male)
(ps I am a bad gecko mom and they don't actually have names yet)
