We are hobby breeders of healthy and beautiful crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus), and we love to create enchanted natural habitats that provide joy and soothe the spirit. Once you spend some time with these magical little creatures you will understand!

Harlequins, extreme harlequins, dalmatians, and phantoms are available from juveniles to sub-adults.

Call the studio to inquire about adopting a gecko (make sure to leave a message so I can call you back).

Our next local show is in Havre de Grace Maryland, September 14th, 2024!

I get asked quite often if I have “ready to move in” enclosures available, and I do occasionally but the cost of enclosures has risen dramatically in the last few years making it harder for me to create affordable set-ups to re-sell. If I do not have any available I will happily tell you how to create an age-appropriate enclosure for any gecko that you buy here.

Younger crested geckos can live quite happily in plastic totes (crafted with ventilation) until they are big enough for larger more elaborate enclosures. My advice when buying a young gecko (under 15 grams) is to save your money for the more elaborate adult-size enclosure (18x18x24 is my recommended enclosure size choice for an adult) and upsize their habitat as they grow. Hefty makes a nice, sturdy, tall plastic tote that is almost perfect for my geckos under 15 grams and even a bit larger. Ventilation holes can easily be crafted into them and they hold the proper humidity well. They are tall enough to add branches, vines, feeding ledges, and the cute hanging coconuts that everybody loves!

Crested geckos, also known as eyelash geckos, were thought to be extinct until 1994 when some thriving populations were found on the islands of New Caledonia. Destruction of their natural habitat and predators were reducing the numbers of crested geckos in the wild but luckily crested geckos can thrive and be bred easily in captivity. Their magical endearing qualities and easy-to-meet requirements of care make them a favorite. Most tolerate being handled quite well and do not bite.

Crested geckos are primarily tree dwellers and are perfect for naturalistic vivariums as they fit right into that environment. They come in so many different colors and patterns it will be hard to keep just one!

If making a purchase here at the shop, during the travel time home you must ensure the gecko does not get overheated or chilled. (Do not leave in a hot or cold car if running errands after purchase.)

All sales are final. I will provide a care sheet and gladly answer any questions for caretaking but It is your responsibility to research the proper care of these animals and be ready to introduce them into the proper environment upon arrival. I am meticulous in my care of them and know that my geckos are completely healthy and eating well before selling. If for some reason a refund would need to be given it would be determined on a case-by-case basis and issued as store credit only.

Caring for a crested gecko is a long commitment as these creatures can live well over 15 years but often things happen in life that are beyond our control. If you can no longer care for your gecko and can’t find a proper caretaker I will re-home the gecko however there are no credits or refunds given in this scenario.
