I have knobbies and I think they are a bit more amenable to handling, they seem to put up with me well lol. I get mine out every evening for about 5 minutes, they just sit on my hand etc. They don't seem too fussed. My marbled geckos on the other hand are little wild animals that stress out so I never touch them.
Where did you hear that herpkeeper? You can have all the smooth knobbies, just not the rough gutted, as I love the roughies. Fingers crossed it won't take too long before they come on license! I'll be first in line lol
l let my knob tails walk over my hands and watch them while they go for a walk on the floor occasionally. They are a more look at animal and don't like to be handled much unlike a bearded dragon. but you can handle gently as long as they aren't showing signs of stress as they are likely to drop their tails.
