What kind of geckos, they vary from desert to tropical, to terrestrial to arboreal, to expensive to cheep, to easy to care for to forget about it hard.

So what kind of geckos are you thinking about.

i raised a couple leopard gecko's a while back, really easy to take care of, just a heat pad is needed if its not freezing out. They are very hardy creatures.

i would recommend Cresties, they are super easy to care for and breed.

i loved breeding leopard geckos, the colors and morphs so fun. Leopards take up less space than cresties and can be kept in a rack system if needed. I worked with Giants and Albino patterns mainly. They can be really fun little geckos.

They are so easy to incubate. Leopard geckos are simple. They have 2-3 eggs every 35 days during greasing season. Give them a small bowl of vermaculite and then incubate. You have to watch your male though. When your females are done they will beat him up! Normally it's 2-3 females per male in one cage! Keep there temps around 75 and a moist box to help shed. I would not put them
On sand.

That`s just what I wanted to know .. Sounds do able .. Are there any color morps to avoid ?? Thanks alot !!

Not sure about the morphs. I have a tangerine and a patternless. Both females.

Right now i've heard some enigma lines are having problems and Diablo Blancos might, but these are really expensive morphs. I loved my giants they were always fun. Any of the other morphs i havent heard problems in.

Normally i dont suggest this but every now and then Petco has some nice tangerines in. Just remember their health an't so great.
