Has anyone purchased from www.daygeckos.com?

Hi All,

Has anyone purchased from www.daygeckos.com? If so, what was your experience(s)?

Also, what colour mutation(s) did you get? How old was the gecko(s) you purchased? Did it mature into "what you imagined" and or what was "advertised"?

Thank you all.

I purchased a female breeder crimson from them last year and was perfectly satisfied with the entire transaction. She was a ridiculously high red just as what was being portrayed to me and has given me multiple clutches to date. Prices are a little steep for most people interested day geckos, but you definitely receive a nice animal.

She sounds lovely. How much do you sell your offspring for? Yes, I know, I might be myself in the foot. Since, I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask such a question. But, I am going to ask anyway. Hopefully, everyone can forgive my indiscretion.

Any idea, if, the "prices are better/less steep" if I buy a baby and or a juvenile? I am just looking for an animal that will have a ridiculous amount of red, as an adult.

Also, I have e-mailed them twice and never got a response. Do you recommend calling/texting them?

Again, thank you, very very much for your time.

Unfortunately day gecko market is saturated with $50 normals and babies always look way nicer and then loose their color. So people just assume you're selling at a higher price it seems. But I usually shoot for about $100 on them. If you look at their price list, their is some discount on younger animals.

As for the response, I haven't talked to them in over a year. So could not be doing them anymore or whatever the case might be

I would agree, given some of the reptile shows/expo's I have been to.

That is true. But, once I saw an adult crimson, I was like: "I now need this" .

I am assuming that is the price for a hatchling and not a juvenile? Do you expect hatchlings any time soon?

You are completely correct. If only I had to thought to check that section.
