[[Image:Techo red baby.gif|frame|right|Red Techo as of June 19, 2006.]]

The '''Techo''' is a [[Wikipedia:Gecko|gecko]]-like [[Neopet]] created on June 7, 2000.

==Overview==
Techos are rarely unhappy, and enjoy looking on the bright side of life and having a good laugh. They are very agile and blessed with exceptional acrobatic skills. Wanting to be the centre of attention at all times, Techos enjoy making other Neopets laugh by performing acrobatic stunts and telling jokes. Fun loving and comical, Techos are said to be perfect for users with a wicked sense of humour.

==Colours==
As of September 20010, the Techo can be seen in 45 different [[colour|colours]]:
