I absolutely love the Chameleon Geckos I’ve seen many videos of them throughout the years and I’m so tempted to get one. They remind me of mini leachie as well so cute.

Great video, Wally! Nice to see that you're still going strong in the hobby! My favorite accessible species is definitely Pristurus carteri (or any other Pristurus species), they are soo much fun to observe and incredibly interesting!

Thanks JP. I'm behind but cannot wait to watch your latest tomorrow.

[@EatonBacon]

Fantastic Video guys. Don't forget Lygodactylus Conraui! or Dwarf Camaroon Geckos. They are tropical, arboreal, colorful, active during the day, and Brimming with personality! And you can keep them in a compact 12x12x12 enclosure. Absolute JOY to care for. =)

[@SupremeGecko]

I like the Lygos. I would have added L. kimhowelli but they (and L. conraui) are not as accecssable as the others on the list. And, a bit of a trick to keep them contained in their enclosures.

[@leafystreet]

Hey Supreme Gecko, I love what you do. I was curious what are the smallest but SLOWEST mourning gecko sized mourning gecko. I dont want to handle often, but i also dont want to fear losing them if i have them out

[@SupremeGecko]

Hi, I think you messaged me on another social media platform, correct? Well, I would say there are a number of small geckos like this. While crested gecko as a bit larger than mourning geckos, they are easily handlable. Paroedura picta are just a bit larger and very handleable too.

[@leafystreet]

@@SupremeGecko Im currently keeping gargs which I love, but looking to go truly tiny, somthing comfortable in a 18/18/18. I'm unsure if what I'm after even exists. Ive heard Sphaerodactylus argus are relatively slower than other micros their size. Does this feel at least somewhat true? Are you working with them? Not looking to chill and hang out with them, just looking for chances to take photos every now and again without the fear of them darting in an unmanageable way. I really appreciate the response

Hey there wally! Re: smaller gecko species, you've done a few Coleonyx videos in the past focusing on one species at a time; do you think one day you could do one video introducing briefly the different Coleonyx species in comparison with each others? (You could include links to direct people to your individual Coleonyx videos through the process!)

[@bobkob]

I have a Eurydactylode Agricolae Male “ Juno” , He’s very goofy,crawling around His Vivarium, both day and night; I also have a Paroedura Bastardi Male- (Paroedura like the featured Pictus Gecko) named “Bourno” who likes to crawl out at night. both remind Me of Reptile equivolents of Mice or Shrews running around and hunting.

Congrats on your wonderful geckos. Funny, I have an abundance of female P. bastardi.

[@frankdughtank8327]

The last one was so predictable knowing you lol. I’m surprised mourning geckos weren’t on the list as well.

[@SupremeGecko]

Picta- That was a prize for everyone that watches the channel (a free pick so to speak). I know, it was extremely hard to pick 5 but, mournings were like 6 or 7 on my initial list. I left them out of the top because they can be a bit escapee.

I would consider them small (compared to the large geckos) but you have a good point that they are not 'micro' geckos. There really is no definition.
