I'm curious about these little guys because I see them around here sold
inexpensively as 'house geckos'. At any rate, that's what I think they
are - small brownish/grayish geckos with dark eyes and a flat tapering
tail with serrated edges.
Has anyone here kept them? Do they have any especially interesting
behaviour? Can they be kept in groups, or are they too territorial?
I'm thinking that they might make a nice display in a planted enclosure
if they like to live in groups.
I know they are nocturnal, but are they always-in-a-stupor-when-the-
lights-are-on nocturnal, or are they wake-up-if-something-interesting-
like-food-shows-up nocturnal?
Are the ones I'm seeing here in Canada likely to be from feral Florida
populations, or from Asia? Do these animals show up with significant
disease and parasite problems?
