For everyone out there who is anti-geckos with dart frogs (as I was for a very long time) I have poineered a speices that has done remarkably well in a 100% humidty tank stays small and lives on FF's. Lepidodactylus Lugubris aka mourning geckos are what I am talking about, they get to about 2 inches including tail, are bold, hardy and love to eat fruit flies. I have tested mine with leucs and they do just fine. Also they are parthenogenetic which means that the species in mostly female and that female can have virgin births, basically a clutch of two fertile eggs once or twice a month with no sex =) Anyone else ventured onto these geckos?

I don't think its that where anti gecko just that its easer in the long run to keep these things away from darts as they MAY (dint say will) cause a problem

lots of people keep phelsuma sps in there tanks and all will reach a size where anything under the size of Costa Rican auratus could look like food, they couldn't swallow them just mutilate them. Phelsuma Klemmhri is supposed to be a exceptable one and most geckos don't like 100% humidty for more then a week or so or things start to go down hill.
