Help Me Out Gecko Lovers!

So I found a cheap 18x18x24 Exo Terra off Craigslist and need to put something in it in the next few weeks! I've Cresteds and a Gargoyle, and also a Leachie. So I would like something that will feed off CGD as well and have similar care requirements. Any suggestions? I love my geckos I'm thinking of a Halmahera, but not sure if I'll be able to find a CB.

Thank you =) I like chewies but raising another baby means I'll have two large geckos to house =O I've been thinking of buying another crestie female and house my girls together but I do have concerns about future fighting issues. Decisions decisions!

Why not get another Garg?

Also- Have you looked into Day Geckos?

I've been thinking about buying a female garg that is a juvie and switch my tanks around. I've briefly looked into Day Geckos but I want something I can handle occasionally. I've seen some tame ones but I wouldn't know where to find one. I like my fingers

You shouldn't really have too much problems with lady cresties together. We've got 1.2 in the same tank and zero issues.

I don't know that i'd keep two gargs in the same tank though, I hear they can be jerks.

I had two females together and just became paranoid, plus she was a jumper and CRAZY. So I sold her.

I've a male garg anyways so either way I couldn't keep two together. I don't have plans to breed for at least a decade if ever. I looked into the day geckos and supposedly they can be docile. I found this site. http://giantdaygecko.com/index.html
They look like they produce some very nice animals. I'll have to look more into their care requirements and temperatures before I really pursue anything. Thanks for your input!

Just thought of this, does it have to be an arboreal gecko?

Not necessarily, but it would have to be okay with an 18x18x24. I just prefer not having to deal with insects on a daily basis, once to twice a week is fine. The simplicity of CGD is great.

I lean towards nocturnal so I don't have to deal with a UVB. I would get another leachie, but an adult is expensive. I found a nice male for $400 but I've college to pay for.

How about Rhacodactylus sarasinorum? Their fairly cheap, and look pretty cool, in my opinion.
