The tradeoffs, honestly

Juvenile orange can be pale, so you are buying on the parents as much as the baby. Gargoyles can nip and are usually kept one per enclosure.

Common questions

How can I judge a juvenile's future color?

Ask for photos of both parents as adults and of older siblings if available. Orange usually builds with age, but the parents set the likely range.

Are gargoyles CITES listed?

Yes. Gargoyle geckos were listed on CITES Appendix II in 2023. Captive-bred sales within a country are generally unaffected, while imports and exports need permits.

What health records should I ask for?

A hatch date, a steady weight log and a clear fecal or crypto test on the colony. Check that the gecko is eating a complete diet on its own.
