Well I have one and was holding it and thought, man the beardie people need to know about these! lol Anyways, they are called Crested Geckos. The get 12 inches long, and are very cute. They require no heat if your house is at temps in the 70*’s. They just require a 60-70% humidity wich can be acheived by misting the cage 1-2 times a day. THey require a minimum of a 15 gallon tank as adults, but 5-10 gallons are fine for juvies. YOu can feed them crickets and baby food (dusted with calcium 5 and vitamins2 days), crickets and babyfood mixed with Crested Gecko Diet, or just plain Crested Gecko Diet. It is a powder that you mix with water to creaty a mixture the texture of babyfood, and it has everything they need in it. They are very gentle and they will often come up to you if you open their cage, if you hold them often. They will even lick the babyfood or CGD off of your finger! THey have sticky feet wich is really neat. They are really inquisitive and friendly. I think they are awesome and everyone should know about them. Mine is named Spiderman because he sticks to walls. I know that Courtney has a Crestie named Jeanne, so if you could post pics of her that would be awesome. They range from 50-$200. I have a yellow tiger (yellow, with dark yellow stripes) that I got from Crestedgecko.com for 55$.
Thats my yellow tiger.

I also think they are cute! But last year my kids choose the fat tail gecko. They liked the fact that they feel like velvet, and the tail was as big as the head.
Like your pictures!
