    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

what are they really worth ?

I have seen a huge drop in crested gecko value lately. I use to sell crested babys for $40-$45 range just a year ago now I can't find a single buyer at $20 is this everywhere or just here in WI ?
 
I think it's a combination of the market being flooded with average geckos, and the economy being in the toilet. People are very reluctant to let go of their money for an average animal, even if they can't afford a more rare morph. What are they really worth? Whatever someone will pay on any given day.

With crested geckos being available at local pet stores for around $50, individuals are not going to be willing to pay much more for "typical" cresteds. To do well, you really have to have animals that stand out and are truly unique. Just as the quote about "whatever people are willing to pay" goes, so does the saying "you get out what you put in". If you purchase some really nice, high end geckos, pair them with geckos of great structure, pattern, and color, hopefully you will get some nicer ones out of them and therefore sell them at a higher price.

I still find people are willing to pay good money for crested geckos, they just have higher expectations, and as a seller you want to offer something special so the customer is satisfied spending a little more for quality animals.
