Wow.. I love how brightly colored the day geckos are.. Afraid i dont know much about them tho..
How are they temperament wise? Do they tolerate handling well?
How big do they get?
What kind of temps / humidity do they need?
Sorry for all the questions.. hehe.

thanks , he is nice . he is about 12 inches long so he's full grown .  not really sure how old . 80 - 90 day temps . 10 degrees cooler night temps. 60 - 80 percent humidity . good temperment . he will jump on to my hand and sit there , but they are not very handable because they have soft skin and easy to injure . now if only i can find him a girlfriend .

Well, I guess it's not called a "giant" for nothing, lol.

wow 12 inches, that is big for a gecko, that's awesome Smiley  soft skin eh? anything like a crested gecko? I find my crestie easy to handle, or is it just because he also doesn't take kindly to being handled? Smiley
