Hey mate I answered this in one of your other questions so i'll pop it in here too incase you missed it. These are all Australian geckos and legal to keep so it should help you.

Here's a few species you might want to check out for starters. Most people recommend a milli for a beginner but its really up to you - if your willing to put in the care required for each species then it wont be a problem. Ive included the scientific name and average price for a juvenile, aswell as a link to a photo.

- Thick Tailed Gecko (nephrurus milli) $80 - $150

- k**b Tailed Gecko (nephrurus levis) $150 - $300

- Marbled Velvet Gecko (oedura marmorata) $100 - $200

- Binoes Gecko (heteronotia binoei) $40 - $100

Here's a link to an Australian gecko breeder, he has a few good care sheets listed on his site, and you can email him if you require any more information. Also none should eat pinky mice.

You might also try searching the for sale area on this forum. Most who have geckos for sale are regular members and should have more available when they breed.
