need information on lizards

[brownsfan222]

i would like to get a lizard in the next few months, my first reptile ever was a lizard and i want to get another one. i like the marble geckos and the tokay geckos, i like the arboreal lizards. i dont want one with an extreme need for UV light like iguanas. i know all lizards need the UV light i just dont want one with a high need for it. any ideas

	Iguana Iguana

	Arboreal Arboreal is a word meaning "related to or resembling trees". Its meaning comes from the Latin arbor, meaning tree.<br> In biology, an arboreal animal is one which inhabits or spends large amounts of time in trees or bushes.

there are some geckos but they should still have some UV

[brownsfan222]

yea i know that, i just heard that some lizards dont need as much uv as other lizards. i really do like the bigger arboreal geckos i think they look awesome

If you want something to watch get a pair of Sakalava velvet geckos. they are always in the branches and all over everything, running everywhere in the trees. ill post a picture of the setup/geckos asap

ok thanks

Heres the sakalava's, they are hard to find sometimes for sale but i found a pair at a reptile show. They are soo much fun to watch specally eating on those branches.

how are the cresteds are they active?

[snydergeckos]

i have a pair of cresteds and am planning on upgrading to more. they have become my favorite gecko and they're awesome. they're a lot of fun to play with but can get kinda pricey.

[brownsfan222]

yea someone always has them at the reptile show by me. they are usually like 30 bucks. got a caresheet on them?

[snydergeckos]

you can usually find a caresheet on them anywhere. i dont have one offhand cause i have a book on them. by pricey i meant if you wanted a special morph or anything.

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

another great thing about them is that they require little light and a temperature of around 75º F so depending on your room temperature you might not even need a heat light.
