Theirs alot of good gecko species that will be good arborials.You got the oeduras,rhacodactylus,ptydodactylus(sp?)pachydacty lus,phelsuma,gekko,paroedura,eurydactylus,strophru rus,and many other.not all of them are handelable.But what geckos really want to be handeled.Ide much rather watch them do what they do naturally.

Fimbriatus stress very easily and some are a lot more jumpy than others...(my new girl is INSANE... I held on tight at the vets yesterday while she thrashed around and bounced all over the place) some will also bite, although not typically... but they do have some decent teeth on them. Those tanks are definately too small for giant leaftails anyways... maybe one of the smaller species if you're interested in leaftails.

I also suggest chahouas, they are way cool and fairly easy to care for and handle.

Not all Paroedura are arboreal. Obviously picta arent, and I doubt androyensis are arboreal. They are called " Ground Geckos" and " Dwarf Ground Geckos" for a reason

I cant believe I looked over these, Pachys, some of my favorites! Also Gekko is a good one. If you want a handlable arboreal, go for chahoua, if not, then Id say Phelsuma.

Bastardi are arboreal...so are masobes...and i THINK gracilis..not sure on that one though.

yes but those are extremely fragile, and not too easy to acclimate

Bastardi arnt to fragile i my exsperience..Their pretty hardy.gracilis and mascobes yes.(never kept thouse).also heard androyensis are kinda hard to acclimate.But do well once their acclimated..and androyensis are semi arboreal.

I was talking about the mascobes and gracilis being hard.

I would go for a chahoua! Cant go wrong with more rhacs!
