Striped
Gargoyle Gecko · 0 live listings
Striped gargoyle geckos carry clean lines running down the length of the body instead of the usual blotches or net pattern. It is a line-bred look on a hardy New Caledonian gecko that eats a complete powdered diet and suits a first-time keeper.
At a glance
The tradeoffs, honestly
Stripes can break up or fade as a gargoyle matures, and offspring vary. Gargoyles are sturdy but nippier than cresteds and are best housed alone.
Common questions
Will the stripes stay clean?
Not always. Some striped juveniles break up into blotches as they grow. Ask for current photos and photos of both parents as adults.
Does striped breed true?
It is a line-bred trait rather than a simple gene, so striped parents raise the odds of striped babies without guaranteeing them.
What should I check for health?
A hatch record, a weight log showing steady growth and a clear fecal or crypto test on the colony. Check for straight hips and a full, rounded body.
