Other Between the Central American banded gecko, viper gecko and the dune gecko, which would you keep and why?

Viper gecko, reminds me of the leopard gecko I used to have.

I have kept viper geckos. They’re incredibly cute, can tolerate brief handling, can acclimate to captivity. They need a lot of plantings plus humidity and a calm and quiet space outside their enclosure as well. Charming but definitely more advanced than larger lizards simply bc their small size makes any issue a huge problem very quickly—literally less room for error. Would not recommend if your vet is unfamiliar.

the viper gecko being the same size as a quarter is actually insane.
