    • @SupremeGecko

      Hi, I think you messaged me on another social media platform, correct? Well, I would say there are a number of small geckos like this. While crested gecko as a bit larger than mourning geckos, they are easily handlable. Paroedura picta are just a bit larger and very handleable too.

Ive heard Sphaerodactylus argus are relatively slower than other micros their size. Does this feel at least somewhat true? Are you working with them?

      I would consider them small (compared to the large geckos) but you have a good point that they are not 'micro' geckos. There really is no definition.
