The detail
Reticulated gargoyle geckos show a net-like pattern of dark lines and blotches over a lighter base, close to the look many wild gargoyles carry. Gargoyles come from New Caledonia, are sturdier than cresteds and can regrow a dropped tail.

What to weigh
Gargoyles can nip, and cage mates may bite each other's tails, so most are housed alone. Pattern names are line-bred descriptions and vary between breeders.
