get a skink, they're awesome, blue tongue may be, they're nice ...
Yes they are aggressive and have no problem biting . I'll never forget my first encounter with one at Indonesia. Reached room dead tired and see what I thought at the time was a foot and a half decoration above headboard. Imagine my surprise when the "decoration" opens it's mouth and hisses to me as I get in bed ! Knowing myself and what I would do to the angry Tokay if it bit me; I called the front desk and let hotel security usher a very dissed off gecko out of room.

Have you considered a Pink Tongue Skink? They are similar to Blue Tongues but smaller .

Lija: It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one whose pets like to bite. To make it worse; it's impossible for me not to jerk my hand back. For that reason I'm very careful around them, mostly to prevent them not to get hurt as my reflexes retract hand at the speed of light !
