Golden Geckos

Wednesday May 13, 2009
Golden geckos are a bit more challenging than some of the other geckos, but can make good pets. They are not the best for handling as they have delicate skin, and they are not as docile as some other geckos (translation: will bite if stressed). However, they are beautiful animals, and as long as you give them tropical conditions they are not terribly difficult to care for compared to some other lizards. Find out more in my care sheet about Golden Geckos.

My golden gecko is veyr docile and loves to just sit on my shoulder. He’s only bitten me a couple of times when he got scared. This is the first reptile I’ve ever owned and I recommend getting one to other people.
