Crested geckos are one of my favorite aboreal species. They're readily available and are not very demanding. And with all the morphs you should be able to find something that fills the criteria of what you'r looking for.

Yeah, Crested Geckos are a very popular arboreal. Tokay geckos and golden geckos are pretty good too, but neither are as "friendly" as the crested geckos, especially the tokays.

Crested Geckos def. But they are a tad on the $ side for the animal it's self. But then again. Usally no heat, and easier diet.

Other than them Goldens are nice. Marbles also, but I think Goldens are friendlier.

Flying are awesome.

It all depends on what your looking for.

Uroplatus are my particular favorites.. Go with satanics, can't go wrong if you're just wanting display animals.

i like the flying geckos (ptychozoon kuhli) although they are very hard to find as CB and all of the WC ones I have come across have been laden with parasites. But there are plenty of other suppliers out there of flyers, you just have to find them (my avatar is a pic of a flying gecko). They are not supposed to be very hard to keep and their care is somewhat similar to that of a crested gecko, but with more heat.

Day geckos are nice too, but take my advice....get one of the LARGE species like P. madagascarensis gigas or the seychelles day gecko. The small ones I kept were the biggest pains in the arse I have ever kept, apart from worrying about escapes (had one escape...got it back) every time I open the enclosure lid, keeping the danged small sized crickets alive is a job that I hated to do. But the larger species I would consider getting again because of their relative ease to care for.

Day Geckos also need UVB lighting.

Do you have Flyers geckoguy? I like the one in your avator, mine don't have the light color on the back though.
