Looking for suggestions for paludarium geckos

[Herpin Man]

I am looking for suggestions for species for my paludarium. I am looking for geckos that are arboreal, enjoy high humidity, and are medium sized- smaller than tokays, larger than house geckos.
Any thoughts?

Look at gold dust day geckos and other day geckos about that size (e.g. pea**** day geckos).

I like Gold dust and lined day geckos. Can the hatchlings eat newborn dubia, or do they need something smaller?
Or, what species are perhaps slightly larger, without getting into the Giant day gecko sizes?

I highly recommend you get the book Day Geckos in Captivity by Leann and Greg Christenson (Published 2003 by LIVING ART PUBLISHING - livingartpublishing.com). In addition to very helpful information about caging, lighting and supplementation, they also have an appendix at the end of the book that lists each type of day gecko (Phelsuma) with a picture, size and habitat information. Leann and Greg also have a website: Leaping Lizards Home Page

Good idea, thanks.
