Isn't that large for a gecko?
I always thought they were really small!
Must be a well fed gecko
Amazing colouring!
Looks like a ninja

Well she is a giant day gecko! But yeah agrreed, she's really pretty
i think she's about 10 inches atm and might grow to 12
Can you handle her
Take her out? Pet? and such?
unfortuantely she's really fragile and her skin rips easily. If i let her/took her out by hand she'd leap right out and go on the ceiling

That is really cool dude. I always used to want an iguana. My brother did 3 years at college studying exotic animals and they had lots of big lizards.

Thats not too bad, think after the summer is over and i've saved up a bit i might get one.
What is the routine for feeding etc?

3-4 medium/large locusts 3 times a week, for me works out to be £2.50 a week or so
that's for an adult tho. juveniles and babies obviously need smaller ones and they need feeding more often

That's an amazing pet, love the colour. How on earth do they manage to climb up the surface of the box, it all looks shiny.

they have like stupidly sticky feet
it's just little hooks that come out really but they seem to be able to turn it off for the floor, if only tyres were this sticky

Aaah, googled it.
It uses the van der Waals forces thing...
Difficult to explain... but the shinier, the easier it is to cling to.
Which either is... or is very similar to electro static attraction.

Geckos wiggle back and forth when they walk because of the fact that in order to lift their foot from the wall surface, it must curl each toe upward from the front to "unhook" its villosities

Now I read somewhere that they do that to PEEL there feet off, because at an angle, the force of attraction is very low...

Very true, it looks like she's smiling most of the time and I swear she watches me play a game or she watches a movie with me

Ok, so I could find her in her viv the other night, so I searched inside her log by taking a pic
Not there so I thought she must be inside the bamboo, low and behold she was. Stupidly cute
I'm still confused about how she turned around inside the bamboo tho, unless she got in by walking backwards
