I’m curious to any sort of update. Whether it’s been looked at, and what would the plan be if you guys were to add it. As there isn’t a designated category for cave geckos.

Hey @cavekidgeckos I am your guy for this :blush:

We would need to promote cave geckos before we can add traits. Let me have a few days to look into this.

Worth mentioning, just in case, that there are multiple species of cave geckos as well.
