Is there a legal market for geckos as pets?<

I find that disturbing
Im not sure, I think the rarer ones are protected species,but all you need is a reptile license and you can generally keep whatever reptile you like, there are specific exceptions though, if you got caught with common geckos I dont think they would hassle you to see a licence.<

> I just wanna know if anyone has fed em to their fish? - Ash
the geckos that are around qld everywhere are not the geckos people think they are infact they are a species which accedently sliped into australia (a bit like cane toads only not intentionally introduced) and are now a pest destroying the not so common variety of australian geckoes and other small native species.... so don''t feel too bad
cheers mate I will be able to sleep 2nite
Hmmmmmmm Dont know if it will be a problem, prolly wont, but<
> you dont feed lizards to your pet reptiles because they carry a parasite that is passed on to your snake or whatever, It shows up as a long narrow bump under thier skin, easily removed but cutting the skin and pulling the critter out with a pair of tweezers, dont know if it will effect your fish though,<
> If you want a cheap food just use bait,
I have no idea if this is true or not, but I was told not to let cats or dogs eat them because the have some sort of toxin in them. Could be just a wives tails though.<

hmmm, mite just stick to the feeder fish, they''re easily netted down the river.
I remember as a kid I had a small pet carpet snake which i fed geckos, and then the snake escaped one night....well we found it 3 hours later after moving half the furnitire around!
I do too, why not fish food.
