Just observe the geckos before you own them. The gecko has to be active and alert. The selection is based on many characters in geckos. One of the features is that it should be freely moving and should not be lazy or idly remaining in a single place.
The gecko should eat and drink well. There should not be any lumps over the body regions. Similarly, the tail movements of the gecko should be free and the running activities should be active.
The geckos to be selected should be free from discharge from nose or mouth or anus with foul smell.
There are large amounts of variations with regard to the color of the body. Yeah... Even the hatchling you get may change its color if it grows into an adult one. So, you need to get convinced about the color of geckos you want to own. Even different colors and various patterns are available in species like leopard gecko.
