Calci-sand = bad, paper towels = good! If you get three geckos at once, I believe that they should all be kept seperately for the first month to make sure each individual gecko is healthy (and you would proabably want to do fecals for each one to make sure none have a parasite that might be given to the others) Do you have three seperate 10 gallon (at least) tanks to keep them in quarantine until you can verify that they're all healthy? And (you've probably read this) there should be only one male in a habitat, so I'm assuming the other two that you would get would be female, and if so, are you able to take care of any eggs that are produced? Or were you planning on getting all females? I would agree that starting off with one gecko would probably be the way to go . . . do you have a herp vet in your area? I'm new to this myself, and have found that not all vets are cheap (I live in Maine, and the herp vet around here charges $50.00 for an office visit for a reptile, and that doesn't include doing a fecal, or any medicine that might be needed!)
Good luck to you! These are really cool lizards! Have fun with it!!
