Should i keep gecko as pet?

There are a family of small light brown geckos living in my air conditioner and sometimes they have babies and I get tiny baby ant sized geckos walking around.

They are very cute, don't do any harm and if you get too close to them they run. Never really seen the big geckos because they hardly ever come out, and even moving slightly will scare them and they will hide back into the air conditioner.

I saw a little baby gecko just now and I thought about catching it and keeping it as a pet, sometimes I catch them but I don't kill them I just put them outside.

Do you think I should do it? I would get a big enclosure like a snake enclosure and feed them and catch another gecko or two so they aren't lonely.

    Make friends with one of the older males and see if he can get you a deal on your house and car insurance.

    How about just coexist with them in your home...call them pets if you want. Why do you have to stick them in a fucking cage?

    • They wouldn't always be inside, I'd let them out to play and probably just put them back in at night or when I'm not there.

      Plus the enclosure I was thinking of would be huge, you know those big aquariums some people have in their homes? I wanna get one of them except I wouldn't fill it with water I'd fill it with sand/dirt whatever environment they like the most. They'd have plenty of space.

    Are they meat eaters? Then by all means grab a couple of these fuckers for pets. Find some stray cats, chop them up and feed those tiny pieces of cat to them. Please post when you have done this. It will make me so happy.

    • They only eat insects like cockroachs and silverfish, probably why I've never seen one in the house for years.

      That's kind of mean bro, I like cats.

        I hate cats. You should read my comment about how I threw my wife's cat out a 5th floor window. Anyway good luck with your gecko.

    If you think you would like it why not get a nice big terrarium and see how it goes?
