Ok, so I currently have a leopard gecko and love him, but I want a new species of gecko/lizard. I just want one that can maybe climb or is just cool. Bt one that doesnt get to big, like can live in 30 gallon or less, and where can I buy the animal(site). Any suggestions, also how much would the entire setup cost as well,thanks!

P.S. The lizard/gecko doesnt have to be one that clibs, there just cool=)

It's better that you READ about many types of geckos/lizards and about their care. It's important that you read about their care and understand what you'll have to do. Also geckos and lizards can have different tenancies in personalities from species to species.
Go read about some and decide what YOU like and what YOU want instead of having someone tell you what is "cool."

This fella is just asking for some insight from those with experience.

Ok, heres the deal.

You want climber?

Easy.

Check out Cresteds, if you have experience.
If not, start with something easy like mediterranean house geckos - they are cheap, easy to maintain, and really are pretty cool to watch (let alone breed!)
Theres also things like 'skunk' geckos (white lined) and tokays - if you dont mind a critter you really shouldnt be handling much.
Again, if you dont mind a non-handle species, day geckos are AWESOME display animals - they are relatively small, quite easy to take care of, and absolutely B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.

Now, if you DONT want a climber - and really think about this, as climbers can be hard to contain if you arent careful - there are species like Picta (ocelot) geckos, cat geckos, banded geckos...

Seriously man, take your time and look around - theres a species for everyone, and what you may like isnt necessarily what I may like, ya know?

Take your time, find something that really fits your desires.
