#19: Nutmeg, the Crested Gecko
If you’re looking for a pet that’s equal parts adorable and low-maintenance, a gecko might just be the perfect fit. With their big, expressive eyes and sticky toes, these lizards are just plain cute, and they’re easy to care for. Maybe that’s why they’re such a popular choice among exotic pet lovers. As long as you provide them with a comfortable terrarium and a steady supply of crickets and other insects, geckos are generally happy to do their own thing.
Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re not without their quirks – geckos are known for their unique vocalizations, which can range from a cute little chirp to a full-on croak (kind of like a miniature bullfrog). And if you’re lucky, you might even get to witness your gecko shedding its skin, which is a truly bizarre and fascinating sight. So if you’re looking for a low-key pet that’s big on personality, a gecko might just be the perfect match for you.
