Yeah Dude I kept them a number of years back and bred them, great starter gecko. I have kept many species of reptile in the past but got out of it 6 years back when I had an accident and found it hard to look after them while recuperating.
I'm back on track now, tho the only reptiles I keep these days are a pair of Hermanns tortoises, they are adorable little creatures, but need plenty of tlc. I also bred linneated day geckos (phelsuma linneata chloroscellus) beauitful creatures, bred another gecko, not sure of the common name (ptyodactylus hasseliquisti) spelling ? they came from Israel. I kept Tokay geckos, firebelly toads, whites tree frogs, sand geckos, anoles, standings day geckos, tarantulas(have 2 of those now) green tree snake, and finally ribbon snakes. :P
How many do you have? you can house a male with many females, as they live in Hareems in the wild in Packistan. I'd recommend using newspaper as a substrate, the gecko will do well on it and it's easy to change and cheap as hell. if you cool them down around november for about three months (momory is a bit shady on the amount of time,but there are many good web links to get the requisite info) it will be ppssible to breathe them. All you need is a tub of damp vermiculite, with easy access for the geckos, once they lay the eggs you can transfer them to an incubator or somewhere with a stable temperature. They are temperature dependant sex determined, meaning you can incubate the eggs at a high temp say (26-32C) for males and (23-26C) for females. ... thus endeth the rant ! I'd be glad to help out if you have any questions.

I agree, been dealing with ben for at least 10-12 years he's top notch.
Also try McEleron reptiles on the quays in Dublin, Thomas is also extremly knowledgable, as far as I know his shop is listed in that link too.
