Cresties are a good option altho there arnt that many sexed pairs avaible but im sure you could find a pair.
Also there are Day geckos but they need a hot spot.
You got anything in mind?
how much space etc etc.
Its not just the geckos u hav to pay for remember!

Maybe the Giant Helmahera although i've never seen these available (never looked) or Leachianus are nice big geckos, may need larger viv for a pair tho?
Tokays are cheap but full of character.

If it was me I'd go for a pair of giant day geckos. These are really stunning animals, and VERY arboreal! Something I really want myself

| There are loads of giant helmehera geckos available - wildside reptiles in newport wales have some at £60 each, I wouldnt recogmend anything bigger than these for a viv of that size |

If you do decide to go for tokay's hold out for CB animals... the difference is amazing... I have 2 groups of tokays 2.5 in total all CB, very tame and a joy to keep, feed and handle.
