    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What gecko is perfect for me?

I already have a juvie bearded dragon, but I would like to have some other animal thats significantly lower maintencance. I wanted something I could raise from a baby, that stays tiny, and thrives in at the most a 20 gal tank (in size). Im interested in geckos, so is there a beginner friendly gecko out there that stays tiny, I could raise from a baby, and doesnt need a large enclosure?

While, Eublepharis macularius, make great pets, I have a couple of other terrestrial recommendations: Hemitheconyx caudicinctus, and or Paroedura pictus..

If you would be more interested in a more arboreal type gecko, I would recommend: Phelsuma lineata, Phelsuma quadriocellata, and or Phelsuma laticauda.
 
There are some great recommendations above.

You could also stand that 20 gallon so that it is taller than wide, and that would be suitable for a crested gecko. Crested geckos have a pre-manufactured diet you can purchase that meets all of their nutritional needs, and they don't need heat like leopard geckos and other species. However, if your house gets warm in summer (80s or above), cresteds would not do well at those temps.
