    I'm assuming that's a rare type of gecko, as I've never seen one that coloration? But then again, I'm not versed in them...but ask me about dogs, chinchillas, guinea pigs, or fish and I can tell you a bunch :)

    thanks for the info, learn something new every day. Never kept them and haven't seen them (at least in the lfs that I frequent). Closest thing I've kept to that woulda been the firebelly frogs and newts.

    Seeing you in pittsburgh I saw some cheap listings for fancy guppies on CL.
    Heck, you could plant that bugger up ... toss a nice piece of driftwood in there...a couple of bristlenoses...of course corys- they're so darn cute!...got lots of possibilities for fish!

    Sorry, it's a disease (stocking others tanks) haha!

    And at 33g it should be 48x13x12
