As a pet, what is the most responsive of the Rhacodactylus?
Rhacodactylus chahoua are alert, wonderful animals that usually are easily handled and can become tame enough to come to the front of a cage or climb on a hand when you offer them food. Males of all Rhacodactylus species are somewhat more responsive than females. Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus trachyrhynchus, the most expensive and least available of the Rhacodactylus is one of the most inquisitive and responsive. My male readily climbs on my hand and starts eating as I place a container of food in its cage.Rhacodactylus sarasinorum start off as the most flighty of all Rhacodactylus but adults with some regular brief handling make delightful gecko pets as well as good displays.Crested and gargoyle geckos are very handleable and generally tame but not what you would call outgoing. R. leachianus will tolerate brief periods of handling but are not a particularly responsive species.
