Leopard geckos..?

[TheReptileCove]

Hey guys,

I used to own leopard geckos In England and they were realy fun to keep. Although obiously over here you aren't aloud them so i was just wandering what is the closest thing to a leopard gecko that you could legally keep in QLD? like what most resembles the look and characteristics of a leopard gecko?

Thanks guys and i hope that made sense

Hey Harrison,
I too used to keep Leopard Geckos in the UK (check my avatar). I love them, and although NOTHING will come close to replacing them, the Nephrurus spp are really cool little things.

would i be going along the right track if i went with smooth knob-tailed geckos?

one of my few regrets in life, is that for family reasons, i was not able to live my full adult life in London. lived there all of 1964 and 1965. and then returned to Oz where i was born... many return visits to there though.

ive held and watched thick tail geckos they are awesome and are fun but are very pricey over here they are 150:? but hope this helps:lol:

I think that is the closest you will get to a Leopard Gecko. They are smaller, not as tame, not as pretty......... but the closest you will get. I love mine, but would rather Leopards.

Thanks all for your help and advice,

Have you thought about Oedura marmorata

I have thought about these before after seeing some for sale on here, to be honest there are too amny geckos to choose from!
but i think that smooth knob-tailed geckos are a good choice for me right now. Thanks anyway,

Harrison..
