In there cage and out of there cage leopard geckos are more active but AFTs are slowere and more gentle which makes them better at being handled.If you want a neat morph you will have better luck finding a leopard morph rather than an AFT morph(unless u want to pay lots of $).I like both of them the same so its up to you!

Well in my experinece Afts will slowly explore the area around them ,and always lick your fingers and nose.........................they are very cute(always look like there smiling)

Go with an AFTS, you will have a great time with them!

I keep both, i like the leopards because of the many color morphs that are available and they are easier to breed, but if i had to choose from a normal leopard and a normal fat tail, i would take the fat tail.
