 Which geckos like to be held and are tame?

We are looking at geckos because they don’t get big like bearded dragons do. We have a 20L tank. We are looking for a tame breed that can be held - not daily but one that is not irritated by handling. We were thinking of a frog eyed gecko. Any suggestions?

There isn’t a gecko or any reptile really like "likes" being held and can be "tame". There are some species and individuals who will tolerate it though. If you have a 20gal long, then you’re going to be suggested to get a leopard gecko or possibly an AFT, although I think people who have AFTs keep them in slightly larger tanks.

dont go frog eyes.. they are not an easy beginner gecko and they also dont like being handled..

for a 20 long do on the direction of leo or african fat tail. you could even get a crested gecko if you put the tank on is end so its tall..

but no reptile likes to be heald.. they tolerare it after a while if you work with them a decent ammount but none really like it,
