Do mourning geckos or day geckos make good pets? What about for beginners?
They can be, but they're both very much "look, don't touch" species. They can be good pets if you want to see cool lizards, but not as much if you want handleable pets.
Mourning geckos are wonderful pets, very easy to care for, and they're pretty unique among pet reptiles in that you should keep a colony of them, always at least two. Colonies don't need a lot of space, either - a 10 gallon is fine for a four-lizard colony, and you can add 5 gallons per every additional 2 geckos. Note that these are tiny lizards you really shouldn't handle.
Important note: all mourning geckos are female. They breed asexually and you will eventually have eggs. Very cool pet lizards, but, like, plan on either selling the babies or having a big colony.

Day geckos can also be awesome, beautiful pets, but they're a bit physically fragile and can easily be injured by handling. They should really not be handled at all, and they're not the easiest to care for nor the hardiest. Unlike mourning geckos (where there's no shortage of captive-bred babies available), most day geckos are wild-caught and are rather poor pets as a result. They're doable, but I'd recommend a mourning gecko over them for most beginners.

My only defense of conceptual follower Benny is that he was a warrior nomad and a raider, that still has it in him if we take the All Roads comic into consideration, and how he is not like a real dainty soft hand city slicker, cause it’s mostly an act.
So in scenarios where he is forced to travel with the Courier I 100% think he’d be like “What do ya mean you can’t scale a mountain, pussycat? Watch how the pros do it.” And then you see him scuttle up a cliff face scarily fast only to have to save him when he bumps into a Cazador nest.

Further info after the poll.
First - I'm a grey ace lesbian so I would literally rather die than fuck any of them. this is purely theoretical. a philosophical thought exercise if you will.
Ok now a brief overview of the characters
Benny Gecko - shoots you in the head at the start of the game. you live. you go on a mission to find this little shit. you can kill him. or if you want you can sleep with him and then he runs off. you can then find him caught by some fascist Roman Empire LARPers.
Sebastian LaCroix - the biggest pussy that vampire society has ever seen. cries and whines all the time about wanting a sarcophagus opened. also he just crumbles on the floor after you kill his bodyguard. he doesn't even put up a fight.
Solas - elven god who won't stay the fuck asleep. super racist to dwarfs and qunari especially. causes the hole in the sky you work to fix (he doesn't tell you he caused it by giving a demon toddler a powerful ball btw), then fucks off at the end without a word, corrupts your organisation 2 years later, and is like 'I'm going to go commit genocide now and I'm really sorry ok byyyye'.
