I really wanted a gecko but when I found out you would need to feed them grasshoppers, I backed down. lol.

Funny story about tails flaling off. My friend said he was in Florida and he picked up a lizard that was following him around. He had it by its tail and was just looking at it. Suddenly the tail fell off. lol. He said the lizard just ran off but it's funny if you think about it. You're just there holding a lizards tail.

But it is not like I am getting a dog I am just getting a gecko.....
A gecko, a dog, a cat, a horse, a turtle, a fish - they are all a responsibility. Maybe some require more care but they are all depending on you. I hope you know your stuff, don't just rely on a few books.
