For a pet, if handling pets is important to you, i'd get a Leo or a Fat tail.

For looks, i'd get a Crestie or Tokay.

I have two Leos, by the way.

I changed it the other day. Someone didn't like it. So I changed it real quick to this one. Don't worry I'll change it. I don't like it anyway. LOL

Crested geckos are overly tame, tractable, and easy to handle. They are perfect for younger/aspiring herptologists. Part of the reason everyone loves them is because of their calm demeaner as an adult. Juvi's can be a little flighty but not to the point where you can't handle them. They come from Island forests off the coast of Australia, so they are big jumpers ard will easily leap off your hand but not in the sense that they are hard to handle.

Crested Geckos are among the most handleable of all lizards. They tolerate moderate to heavy handling even when they are relatively young

i was joking bro
Oh I know you were. The other was just temporary. The one I changed before it was blocked out. Nothing but a white square was showing. It was a pic of a little boy holding a beer and smoking a ciggarette and giving a peace sign. LOL I always called it a child pic of me. LOL Must not have been suitable for the site. LOL I figured it would pass but hey never know till you try. I seem to get into trouble alot with my Avatars. My Avatar ended up getting me Kicked off fauna. Well that and my smart mouth or fingers I guess in this case. LOL It's all good. I have some really funny ones but they aren't for everyone's taste. LOL
I don't mind giving you the Comic Book guys. I'll send some your way so you can have an assortment. LOL

Sorry just Spidey and Superman. LOL
By they way. I took pics of the geckos and when I tried to down load them my camera would come back on. I tried new batteries and everything. So Until I get a new camera or get mine to turn on again. I can't do the pics of the geckos.

The Discoids may already be spoken for. I have to count them out and see how many adults are in the group. Sammy Gregg is a good source for them. I bought some from him a year or so ago to get some fresh bloodlines. If I don't have any . He would be a good place to check with. I've got the adults separated from the nymphs . The nymphs number in the thousands I would guess. I may just sell the adults and sell the babies off as they mature. Still thinking on that one. LOL

Well I finally got the pics fixed up. I put them in a slide show to make things easier. They are random pics I took.
