TREAL, the giant madagascar day gecko!

I got this kool gecko at my favorite local pet store for 90 dollars being this best money i ever spent. Had him now for almost 4 years. I recently built him a large plexi/plywood terrarium, moving him up out the usual aquarium. All day he prefers to hang on the plexiglass even jumping from one side to the other. Quite a good leaper i must say. I rarely handle him because what they said ^ up there about delicate skin is true. Day geckos will tear there own skin to get away if they get scared during handling. So take the utmost care when handling. Occasionally I let Treal out to literally climb up the walls in my house. He prefers the walls to be painted the same color as him, a lime-avocado blend... alright, best reptilian pet hands down!
