Can someone lead me to a website that can tell me about all of the different species of geckos? I'm interested in keeping them.

Hi, You may have to be a bit more specific in some different types as I believe there is probabably well over 1000 different species in the world that are known and no website covers them all. Most are pretty condensed into a couple or few types.

I think you would have to do some research first and see what kind may interest you most, or a species that you would be able to work with or care for as far as time, money, caging, lighting....

And then ask some experienced keepers about the types that spark your interest above all others geesh that was a mouthful, hehehhee, best wishes, come back and let us know what you decide,

Could you tell me of the cheaper species that are more commonly available?

Leopard geckos are among the easiest to start with. Normals are very inexpensive from a breeder.
You really need to decide on ground geckos or wall climbers. LOL. Then people can get you info on the easiest to start with from there. Also, are you looking for a gecko to just look at in a nice set-up, or do you want one you can handle?
Let us know when you have thought it over. I'm sure the information will poor in.
