Reticulated

Gargoyle Gecko · 0 live listings

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.

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

The tradeoffs, honestly

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.

Common questions

Are gargoyles legal to buy?

Gargoyle geckos were listed on CITES Appendix II in 2023. Captive-bred animals sold within a country are generally unaffected, but imports and exports need paperwork. Ask for the hatch record.

Can they live together?

Housing gargoyles together often leads to tail nipping and bites, especially among juveniles and males. Plan on housing one per enclosure unless you are breeding.

What health records should I ask for?

A hatch date, a steady weight log and a clear fecal or crypto test on the colony. A regrown tail is not a health problem, but ask why it was lost.
