That rough knob tail sure is cool.

Those are beautiful geckos, everyone of them. I thought R. leachianus were my favorite Rhacodactylus, but your R. chahoua may have swayed me. Nice collection!

Thanks for the replies everyone! I like each species for different reasons:

Gargoyles: love the eye colors, the pattern morphs (stripe and reticulated) and the color morphs as well. Head structure is also very cool, and temperment is just like a crested gecko-very tame and easy.

Chahoua: I'd have to say these are my favorite. Very mellow and I love the camo-colors. They look awesome in a naturalistic vivarium. Although I do have one female that I should have named "Pit-Bull". She's very aggressive but I think it may be because she will be laying eggs soon and this species actually guards their nests.

Leachianus: though they are not as personable or as handleable as the others, they seem much more intelligent and aware. Being in the presence of the largest gecko in the world is amazing. Add in their colors and neat vocalizations....makes for a great species!
Last night my male was making sounds like a dog squeaky toy and whistling!

Knobtails: awesome display animal. Cool defense display. Some are handleable but I prefer not to. In the future I will experiment with naturalistic setups. Lots of personality with this species.
