Hey im getting an African Fat Tailed Gecko in a month at the next reptile show in my area and i was wondering if anyone that has one can tell me if theres are nice and easy to handle.

They're great geckos. But super super lazy an docile - if I think my leopard geckos didn't come out enough, my fat tails did even less. So they're not a very active lizard, for sure, but they're really calm. I actually regret having gotten rid of mine, I wish I would have kept the two I had.

My sister still has at least one and he is pretty much like a puppy. Will sit in your hand, just very agreeable.

Echo'ing the other two.
Fat tailed gecko are even easier to handle then any of my Leos.
Find a new albino striped if you can at the show, they're really nice.

I know But I had two albino fat tails and got each boy for $50 at a show, instead of the $250 they usually go for each. I can't replace them at that price, I'd have to get the normal brown ones (which are still adorable) but you can't beat orange and purple bars.

I love the way the males "bark"!
