Chapter 1Geckos That Make Good Pets

There are a lot of geckos like more than 700 geckos and I will tell you about some of the geckos that are pets.

Let’s start with the Crested Gecko. It changes color, has a triangle-shaped head with a crest or ridges along the back, grows between 7 and 8 inches long, is easygoing, does not grow a new tail and lives between 10 and 15 years. That’s a long time!

Now the Banded Gecko has a slim body with a thick tail Ian or yellow in color with brown stripes across the body Small claws for climbing on rocks Grows between 4 and 6 inches long. Now let move on to the Leopard Gecko. It grows between 8 and 12 inches long, lives to be about 16 years old, sandy or pale yellow in color with dark purple spots, movable eyelids Does not climb upside down Easygoing. Now let's move on to the African Fat Tailed Gecko. It is pale yellow in color with dark stripes along the tail and body with movable eyelids. It has a thick tail and grows to about 8 inches long. Now the Tokay Gecko is more aggressive than many other types of geckos at about 14 inches long. It is pale blue or gray in color and dotted with orange spots and has large eyes that bug out. It climbs upside down and is happiest living and hiding in trees. And the last one I will be talking about is the Madagascar Day Gecko: It grows between 8 and 10 inches long, is bluish-gray in color with a dark, large head, climbs well, is active when day not night and has large eyes with round pupils.

That´s the 6 geckos you can have as pets, but there are more geckos that can be your be a pet. Geckos can be small animals that have weak bones like snakes.If they fall, they might get hurt so don't take them high up because they might die if they fall. Let's move on to the next info about geckos or maybe chameleons.
