What do you plan to keep it with? I'm guessing thats why you mean agressive considering anything below a leopard cant even break the skin But yeah, banded gecko, panther gecko, wonder gecko, dune gecko, jaguar gecko, crocodile gecko, and so on.....Do you want a climber or a jogger?

Well for a few weeks ive had a 100 gallon set up theres a pond that occupies maybe 20% of the tank it theres a small island for the toads feeding area (firebellied toads)and there is a couple house geckos however I am looking to get more I guess "rare" or I think interesting geckos. Dont worry I already got a home for the house geckos if I decide to change it. But If I could get a climber and a jogger that would be awesome but im not looking for anything more then about 100 dollars Each. Thanks again

PS. The toads and geckos have been living fine together and I have had no problems I even got 2 gold fish in the pond. Its a great set up all live plants it takes alot of work to keep up but its worth it

Most toads from my knowledge will secreet a harmfull substance for your geckos to drink....Maybe not ALL toads to ALL geckos but be careful on that one, especially if you want a rare expensive lizard. There are a lot of geckos that are very hard to obtain so I suggest you get a book with plenty of pictures. I just ordered Geckos: Professional Breeder Series by Henkel and some other guy I forgot. If you want I can give you the link to the site, the book cost me like 40$ though. Supposed to have nearly all geckos out there.

Yes they do to an extent but the geckos do have a seperate dish they tend to stay away from the pond. Also the pond is pretty big and cleaned daily, like I said its alot of work but its awesome if I can get my hands on a digital camera I will be sure to post some pics its a custom made corner tank 150 gallon not 100 like I previously posted

Firbellys are toxic. I wouldnt risk a rare or expensive gecko to live with one. Not even if theyre common or cheap. I really rcommend you think twice on mixing anything with them. You can buy a 10-20g for the toads, and leave the 150 for a nice group of geckos. There was a discussion on mixing a long time ago on Firbellys with others.
