Bicolor
Crested Gecko · 0 live listings
Bicolor crested geckos have a back that is a different shade from the sides, usually lighter on top, with little of the cream patterning seen in flames and harlequins. It is a simple, clean look that suits keepers who want a calm-colored display gecko.
At a glance
The tradeoffs, honestly
The line between a bicolor and a low-end flame is subjective, so labels vary between breeders. Cresteds are jumpy when young and lose their tails for good if grabbed.
Common questions
How is a bicolor different from a flame?
A bicolor has two tones, back and sides, with little or no cream pattern. A flame adds cream or light patterning along the back and head. Judge by photos in good light, fired up.
Are crested geckos CITES listed?
Yes. Crested geckos were listed on CITES Appendix II in 2023. Captive-bred animals sold within a country are generally unaffected, while imports and exports need permits. A hatch record shows where the gecko came from.
What should I check for health?
A full, rounded tail base, straight hips and spine, and a steady weight log. Ask whether the original tail is intact, since tail loss is permanent in cresteds, and whether the colony has a clear fecal on record.
Ask the seller for these. Documents on Everybarn are on file for your own checks; we don't check them with the issuer.
