    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....

wow so far it looks like my ad was viewed 62 times, out of all those people not one knows average crested gecko prices or has any input at all? I thought for sure the wonderfull people on fauna could help me but I guess I was mistaken.
 
Nothing really outstanding there so I recommend you set whatever price you want and go from there. If they don't sell maybe you will have to drop the asking price.
 
Thanks for your input.

Prices are 500 for the adult pair and 100 each for the juvies.
 
if you get those prices lmk cause i am selling way to low then...juvies $50 and adult pair goes for 200 or so, nobody really wants males so your just giving the male away really
 
You're asking a question that has no real simple answer. Crested gecko value is based on the eye of the beholder, which means if you want a general price range and to know whether or not anybody is going to be genuinely interested in your animals, you'll need pictures of all of them.

Females are generally more expensive than males, for obvious reasons. Males are typically worth half as much as a female of equal color, pattern, and structure, unless that male just so happens to be so freaking incredible that his genes are worthy of passing around amongst your whole colony, in which case they are worth as much as you think you can get out of him.

On average, you can expect an unsexed flame/harley of no groundbreaking pattern, color and structure to go from anywhere between 30 to 75 dollars. Now, this isn't some kind of national average. Prices don't typically go lower than 30, but value can definitely go above 75. Factor in whether or not it's got a tail... Usually, the tail devalues the gecko by about eh. 15 to 20% I would say, but again, this is usually a moot figure when attempting to apply to a "grade A" specimen. Keep in mind, you are competing with PetCo and their prices for their geckos. A lot of people get some great bargain deals out of PetCo, and I personally have walked out of PetCo's with animals twice as nice as what you've posted here. I'd be competitive and ask yourself if you'd really buy something for 100 bucks what you could buy for 50 at a petstore without paying shipping on it either. The juveniles you have posted are nothing to really shake a stick at... not to diss what you've got, but I'd pay 40 to 50 bucks at best for any of the juvies you've got there.

For an adult pair, unless your male and female are both nice creamsicles, blonde harlequins or red harlequins, your asking price of $500 is maybe a touch high. Well, a lot high. A patternless of color (IE, not brown or olive, yuck) female would sell for probably 150 dollars, and a male of her same variety would sell for maybe 80 bucks. Just to put that into perspective.

Anyway, that's my take on it. Keep in mind, many individuals who purchase crested geckos for their collections are doing so with very discerning taste. While generally there are "hot sellers" like pinstripes and red harlequins and the like, a lot of people have standards, and if that gecko's pattern doesn't reach all the way up to the dorsal and the ground color isn't firetruck red, it's not worth the asking price of a standard high quality red harley. You'll need to basically aim high and if you get no bites and really need to sell, reduce your prices until somebody bites.
 
What petstore do you go to that you get reptiles cheaper than online? I find that they're ususally marked up.
