Hey Julie - I sat back abit to see if others would cover all the species I've enjoyed keeping.
I've always liked the larger phelsuma. Although standingi are fast - really fast, they are large and really a entertaining vivarium species, as are all the grandis subspecies. I have not experimented too much with the littler phelsuma, but what I have kept, my experience has not been too good. Maybe you could "clump" species together as far as care goes, and maybe you can squeeze in a few more than just 10. As for other species, I haven't read many of my favorites mentioned, yet: African fat-tailed. Leopard's have been written on to death, but the fat-tailed always seem to get short-changed. Flying. Though not necessarily a beginning gek, still an interesting specie that hasn't had much coverage. Tokay. I loves the tokays. The bigger and meaner the better. Boy howdy, a large male can be very vocal. As well as the other underappreciated members of the genus. Yuri had a really great photo of one of them, ulikovskii, I think, eating raw banana - that was cool. Treatoscincus scincus. I've always really enjoyed them. They would reach way up on their haunches to feed on baby food from an eye dropper. Bibron's. Especially the males have an intesting bulky body shape. I've also really enjoy U. henkeli more so than the other species. I agree with most of the other species covered.
