good way to look at it is check out there needs,are u able to supply them the insects they need,another bonus of blueys is there ease of keeping,especially in regards to feeding,dont forget egernia/bellatorius either,especially if handling isnt a concern

 

[Frozenmouse]

no choice hey ?? that is Shannon if you want an animal that you can't handle.... if you do handle them they hate it... you have to keep & breed pointless annoying insects... you don't see them in the day time.... the babies can be hard to get feeding with more even smaller annoying insects...... whilst I do still like Geckos...... can you really compare the two ?????

BLUE TONGUES ROCK !!!!!!

That is enough blue tongue porn to last me a week , the photo of the albino on the mirrored surface is awesome .

 

[Brock102]

Most definitely a blue tongue they are much more interesting and better.

Yeah....

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Joe you post those pictures like they are evidence of Bluetongues being ok? If those are the best Bluetongues out there, then the worst geckos in the world beat them hands down.

There is no competition. Geckos are the greatest creatures to have ever lived, greater even than myself.

yeah cant use handling for best reason to keep blueys most people have them outdoors pits and cages and rarely see them let alone handle them i keep both but way more variety with geckos

 

[richardsc]

geckoes are a family of lizards,bang them up against the skink family and you have variety to equal the geckoes,a way bigger size range,more colors than you can poke a gecko at,and alot are more visable being day active than geckoes,everyone has there likes and dislikes,i dont dislike geckoes,i dont keep any,yet i keep most species of bluetongue

end of the day u keep what you like,for ease of keeping for someone that doesnt keep them,possably never kept lizards,pretty hard to go past a bluey to begin with i reckon,if your lucky to live in there range or a similar climate u can also house them outdoors,easy to cater for food wise,and even outdoors highly visable enough to watch them all day,more so than if u housed a gecko outdoors

yeah cant use handling for best reason to keep blueys most people have them outdoors pits and cages and rarely see them let alone handle them i keep both but way more variety with geckos

imagine if those same folk had there geckoes in outside cages,probably never see them,rarely beats never,lol,if u go off blueys outdoors,only fair to compare gex outdoors to

to me,a goldfields shingle back and a bluemountains form alpine blotch have it all over the geckoes in the looks department,then you have the kimberley northerns,even the classic nt types,westerns and centralians topple wheeleri to in my books,saying blueys dont have looks compared to geckoes is a pretty big call,ive seen bluey poop thats alot better colored than alot of the geckoes

thats just looks and ease of keeping,and my opinion

pet quality takes it a step further again

Australian Geckos are in 4 families.......

I'm not arguing against skinks I love Egernia, Liopholis, Saproscincus..... I'm arguing against Blue tongues..... which are just crap.

 

[richardsc]

define bluetongues are just crap?

is it they are classed as a beginners reptile?????or they have eye lids??????

i dont get how you could class them as crap thats all,including stumpys which are classed as bluetongues to

 

[Gibblore]

Speaking of crap have you ever smelled bluetounge leavings OMG. Geckos are much more pleasent to deal with any day.

 

[richardsc]

maybe u guys are just to scared of bigger lizards,lol

yes ive smelt bluetongue poop,but have you smelt lace monitor poop,makes bluey poop smell like roses

i guess geckoes are really nice to watch in captivity,explains why they are often kept in rack set ups in tubs u can barely see through,so u can sit back and watch there awsomeness of color which the heat cord helps to bring out ,hard to walk past and not notice them,lol



couple of my crap ones



few more even crappier ones,why i keep these fugly crap things i do not know,they are no where near the high class of geckoes

Now you're getting the hang of it.

 

[richardsc]

This is much better than arguing over gay marriage.

 

[Rocket]

richardsc, very impressive multifasciata. Do you breed these regularly? What do newborns sell for? I rarely hear about this species.

 

[richardsc]

no contest,but a couple more

hi rocket,
havnt bred centralians yet,recently aquired a trio to go with the 2 i already have,so hopefully this season coming,dont really hear of many people who actually breed them,well indoors anyways

This is much better than arguing over gay marriage.

so true that,haha
