[eddie123]

helmet geckos are not native meaning we cant get them.
a popular species is knob tailed geckos so why dont you google some of those

 

[Womagaunt]

yeah knob tailed geckos are pretty cool my mate has a smooth knob tailed gecko

 

[Smithers]

Helmet Geckos - Diplodactylus Galeatus are native

Get Rob Porters - Keeping Australian Geckos book 1st around 20-25 bucks gives all facets of husbandry, care, breeding etc for 15 of the commonly kept geckos or Danny Browns new series of Australian reptile books has one for Geckos and Pogopods (legless geckos) and then make your decision.

Golden tails

Hi folks

What can you expect to pay for a goldentail?

 

[Smithers]

around $130 for hatchies Snakesalive67 plus freight (usually $65) and import permits ($30) if you need either.

[GeckoJosh]

I am on the Central Coast, I don't have any GT's available for a couple of months as I have sold out, same storey with the Spinys.

Mitch, they are really not the easiest gecko to find, especially when you're just getting into them...

I would recommend getting some Strophurus species (as mentioned by Josh & Brett above) if you're looking for some display geckos that aren't going to hide all day.

helmet geckos are not native meaning we cant get them.

This is a Helmeted Gecko (Diplodactylus galeatus), and yes, they are native...
