How much, how old, how big, what sex, and where are you located? Don't be sorry, they're not for everyone

I'm curious, what is it that you like about leopard geckos? They are very popular but I just don't see why. I used to take care of two leopards (the owner died). Had them for two years before I replaced them. In my opinion they are one of the most boring pets there is. XD I'm never going to take care of another one again, hehe.

It would be fun to hear your opinion about them since you prefer them more than Tegus. :)

Haha Isdrake I totally agree about leopard geckos I would rather keep one tegu that 150 leopard geckos any day. They poop like crazy too.

I also agree, i really like the look of a leopard gecko. but they arent my type. they're not as hands on as tegus. They seem like more of a display animal to me. I like an animal that seeks human affection, such as a tegu. leopard geckos dont really care if you hold them or not. Just my opinion.

i have a leopard gecko and to me it really is just a display pet! since they are only active at night its kinda hard to interact with them the way you would with a tegu. i personally just like the various morphs and colors and trempers are my fave thats the only reason i keep them! im curious to know also what made you choose them over tegus?

How much are you asking Jcrunk? Also, try posting it in the Classifieds with all the needed info.

Careful with the sav. Most are wild caught and have worms or mite infestations, not to mention a very fussy attitude. I was lucky that mine just had round worms and a horrible attitude. I've had her for almost a year and she still is no where near tame, she was basically fresh from the egg when I purchased her.

Do you have much experience with large breed lizards or snakes? It's a question I always ask :)
