Scales follow breed-club and veterinary consensus; individual animals vary. Listings show what each seller has on file.

The tradeoffs, honestly

Blotch color often develops slowly over the first two years, so a dull juvenile may brighten. Gargoyles can nip and are usually housed alone.

Common questions

Will the color brighten?

Often, yes. Gargoyle color develops over the first year or two. Ask for photos of the parents as adults to see where the line is heading.

Can a gargoyle regrow its tail?

Yes, unlike a crested. The regrown tail usually looks different and lumpier than the original, which matters to some buyers.

What health records should I ask for?

A hatch date, a steady weight log and a clear fecal or crypto test on the colony. Ask whether the gecko has been housed with others and has any bite marks.
