Blessed Cresteds was born out of love at first sight a little while after we received our first crested gecko Qi Qi. Once you spend some time with these magical little creatures you will understand!

We are hobby breeders of healthy and beautiful crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus) and love to create enchanted natural habitats and bioactive vivariums that provide joy and soothe the spirit. The studio also has a small selection of potted plants ready for bioactive vivariums, they vary depending on availability. Pangea diet is out of stock. I do have sample size food to offer with a gecko purchase.

Call the studio to set up a time to stop in to adopt a gecko (make sure to leave a message so I can call you back). The geckos are not at the shop so calling ahead ensures I can bring in a few different kinds that may interest you. Discounts may be available for multiple geckos if over 5 purchased –wholesale pricing available with purchase of 10 juveniles-Available are harlequins, extreme harlequins, patterned dalmations in creams and yellows, and phantoms.

You can visit our Morph Market Page here to see some available geckos but there may be more that are not listed in lower price ranges. I usually do not list “pet quality” geckos anymore on morph market so please inquire if you are looking for a quality healthy pet not for breeding purposes.

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 up size 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!

Our next show is December 2023- York

Crested geckos, also known as eyelash geckos, were thought to be extinct until 1994 until 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 do not bite.

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

Store Policy:
By purchasing from Blessed Cresteds you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions:

Geckos are not put on hold until a payment is made. All purchases and deposits are final and non-refundable. We reserve the right to refuse sale of our geckos for any reason. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase. There is no sex guarantee unless stated they are proven.

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.
