    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....

I'm looking for a group of adult cresties at a good price either 2 or 3. Pref M/F, 2F, 2F/1M. Looking to get into the gecko hobby. Colors/morphs aren't as much of a concern as personality...really need some docile guys suitable for inexperienced handlers that will be around. Pretty colors are always nice but these will mainly be pets...no intentions of breeding so really anything will do. PM with what you might have and I'm not interested in any 200-250$ morphs so dont waste your time typing.
 
Hey check out my website. I've got a few geckos, adults and babies for sale. I am taking offers on these guys as well.
 
groups

hey man just a word of advice. if you arent planning on breeding them i would get a group of females only and if you do get a male house it seperatly. most of the time all it takes is the male and female being together to breed and then you may get overun with baby geckos and have to buy another cage or sell one of them so they can cooldown... leaving them together they could overbreed themselves and lose alot of weight and/or get sick. bottom line lol is to just buy females if you looking into a pet only group. if buying unsexed my usual rule is assume its a male and house it lone until its about 20 grams or so, you can usually tell by then with the expception of a few late bloomers. had my patternless male start to show a bulge at 23 grams.
 
p.s pangea

you may find the wholesale pack on pangea.com of interest. you can buy 3, 6, or 12 from $42 to $30 per gecko and theyr high quality animals. they also have a kit you can buy and get a free gecko if you pay 35 shipping
 
how much are you looking to spend on 3 geckos? if you go to a reptile show/expo you can get some cheap ones from 25$ and up. if buying online expect to pay shipping which for 3 geckos is around 50 dollars i believe whichi i think if you buy the wholesale pack form pangea it will cost 160 for the geckos plus shipping but they are unsexed. may be your best bet at the moment but i would plan to seperate the males when you see pores/bumps and/or aggression, just something to plan for... as the patternless male i spoke of earlier actually was picking on my larger male i had him caged with when i thought he was a female.
 
when dealing with lower end geckos i dont think sex makes much of a difference, in my high end shopping i have noticed that a nice male will cost more than a nice female, such as a 350 neon red harly female on pangea forums to the 1000 neon red male on ac reptiles website. same bloodline but a male is much more likely to pass on his good colors and triats to even a lower end female. hope this helps you out!
 
It is best not to be in such a hurry to breed and start with low end stock. THe crested gecko market is seriously saturated due to the over abundence of these average to below average geckos. If breeding is something you are looking to do, buy the most high end you can afford and start there. It is better to start with 1.1 that are high end then 1.2 or 1.3 of a bunch of average geckos, then in the long run build yourself up to the higher end animals. Best yet, if yore not in a big rush, buy a group lot of higher end animals as unsexed and raise them up, instead of spending $400 on a nice pair, you could spend $200 on 3-4 great looking babies, and possibly end up with even nicer adults then had you started with two above average adults. Remember when breeding animals, it is about quality over quantity.
 
good point sublime, alot of people will breed these lower end geckos whether on purpose or accident. great for a pet only crested owner, but yeah i agree i would rather spend more on the high end babies or adults(with proven lineage)quality over quantity example buy an awesome red male breed it to your females, they produce reds some can sell some for up to 200 a baby. made your money back probably on 1 clutch if both hatch. either way you go, good luck.
 
the thing with crested genetics, that red male may prove to produce everything but reds with the females. If you dont know the background of all your geckos, then it is a pop shot on what they will produce. Normally your odds are better, 2 red geckos are more apt to produce red geckos then a red gecko and a blonde. But on the same token, my creamies produce creamy geckos paired with my blonde male, last year I got a male that looked just like my mocha and cream female, all babies turned out to be blondes and halloweens. Rare it be with my creamies with my blonde, this is why people often dont do odd matchings simply because it tends to produce average colored geckos. But if you have a specific goal in mind, like to breed reds, then spend the money geckos from red lines, your odds will increase if they are both from red lines to produce reds, then just pairing up a single red gecko with a differen colored gecko.
 
As stated before I have no interest in breeding not now not ever I am strictly looking for pets to go in an elaborate enclosure I'm currently building
 
not so much any female but i personally would like to try some combinations. full cream bak pin male to my red female. try to get a red cream back baby. next year im going to try a proven red harley male to a new female tricolor i got to try and produce a red tricolor, i havent seen one before and would be interesting to see what they can produce and also the fact that i cannot find a tricolor male that has anything close to her color, pattern, and structure.(bought her from eriv favez =)
 
If you want to give the OP in-depth advice, or if you want to talk about your breeding plans...then please do so privately via PM. You can also go to the discussion forums and continue this there. The classifieds aren't the place for such conversations, though.
