we tried a gecko for my son when he turned 6. bought a really nice terrarium with all the appropriate swag and lights needed to keep the gecko happy and healthy. well...the novelty wore off after a couple of weeks because the gecko liked to bite. it wasnt harmful in any way, but it would startle small kids, and they would drop it. so...it pretty much stayed in the terrarium and basically, i ended up having to take care of the damned thing. they feed on live crickets, so you also need a small cage to keep crickets alive. we ended up giving it to another family who had other reptiles. apparently, we are not "reptile people."
