Thanks matie, their very interesting reptiles

knob tails are unreal, they dont look very tough but wait til you see them chase woodies around the tank. and not scared at all, we have our hand an inch away and hell still chase food....

not sure if they are all like this, we only have one

How much do knob tales go for, and can you take a pic of ur enclosure?
​

 

[azza74]

ive seen them go from 150 to 300+, not the cheapest thing to buy..

havent got use of a camera.
pretty basic setup, two bark hides-cave-water dish-plants-purple light

I suggest you do some reading. Here's an address to a guide to geckos at Mike Swan Books

Benan a 600 to 900 x 445 x 500 enclosure would be ok for geckos

Got a picture of how big that is?

Hey it's advice. $50 is cheap for knowledge when most gex cost over $100 for hatchlings! Be informed not gullible. Of course there is plenty of free info available on the net-try the Global Gecko Association or type in the Latin name of a species you are interested in on google.
