You can catch and keep asian house geckos without a licence, only do this if they already live where you do though(Qld only).

You are better of getting a licence its only around $50 and lasts 5 years, there are heaps of awesome Ausralian native geckos you can get then.

If you have a peek at my website you'll get an idea of the variety available in QLD.

would anyone be able to tell me what you expect pay for all ages in the common gecko's getting sold today? cheers vs380kw (search didnt bring up alot)

does any one know of some good books to get on gecko's? cheers vs380kw

The best book would be " A Complete Guide To Reptiles Of Australia" which usually sells for between $40-$50. This lists all 111 species of Geckos but obviously we cant keep them all.

Common Geckos sold today include: Barking geckos (U.Milii)-$70-$130, Bynoes geckos (H.Binoei)- $60-$120, Smooth knob tailed geckos (N.Levis)-$130-$250. You can also get a variety of Velvet Geckos (Oedura spp) but need abit more experiance with Humidity, Heat and caging requirements (some times).

Hope this helps.
