PHldy,

Thank you for all of your help with everyone. You seem very knowledgeable, which is a help for those of us trying to learn.
I noticed your back and forth with donald94 below, and realized he had similar questions about temperature. AC run too much does cost. We are used to just running it in the late afternoon and early evening when we get home from work, and try to tough it out at night with a fan. We'd have to change our lifestyle a lot to have a Crested Gecko. They may be better for people living in milder climates, or those with central heat and air. I'm pretty sure a garter snake could handle the wild fluctuations better than a gecko. We'd just have to have under-tank heat for the winter.
The gecko diet does seem easier than almost any other reptile pet. But I just don't know if that outweighs the idea of having the AC on all summer. We always go to bed at 10 anyway, so a diurnal animal may fit our schedule better.
