Pretty cool little guy!

That pattern keeps spreading, so I bet it'll look totally different as an adult. I love how the "snowflake" harlequin pattern behaves over time!

This funky little kiddo hatched out this morning! Loving the pattern and structure -- looking like it'll have strong brindle pattern with some cloudy white harlequin pattern spreading over time. Def interested to watch it develop!

Just had this huge baby gargoyle hatch out at 125 days! Mom is a red stripe and dad is an orange blotch, so I'm thinking this one will color up as it grows. Happy for a very healthy baby!

There are a lot of awesome gecko breeders hatching out beautiful leachies right now, but I'm still years away from that point. My job right now is to add cuties like this to the gecko gang to grow out. I def don't want to be caught lacking in 4-5 years when most of my leachie pairing begins!

This little Yate + Type A/C/B mix just arrived from this morning and she is an absolute sweetheart! She is so very chonky (from the Yate influence, I assume) and does the cutest little whistles when held. Swipe to see the parents! Photo cred goes to JBI Reptiles!

The goal for me right now is to plan and build projects so that when my geckos are old enough to be paired, they have the proper mate options to produce desirable stuff. This is an especially intensive process with leachianus because not every planned pair will get along. It's good to have a back up male for a project just in case the female isn't feeling her intended mate.

This lady's intended partner is a purple island mix. I'm hoping for size + lots of purple pattern in the offspring.

I do still have a few gargoyles and cresteds being paired and lots of exciting projects with them, but the leachies are the long-term project and my most exciting to plan for!

If you're a WV local, I'll swap out the "mountain mix" for a different variety ☺️

The female (left) is named Banana Breath, the male is Trollboy 😊

Mr. Mojito 🧉

This guy is a GTx with some varied genetic influence and he's turning out super cool! He fires up fully to this interesting yellow-y green color, and is developing some nice pastel pinks and possibly purples? 🤞🤞 He's 90g at a bit over a year old, and his intended mate is Chroma, a Pinky x GTA/Koghis female I've got growing up as well.

Excited to have eggs incubating from Neo! I picked him up from Wrapped Up Reptiles awhile back and really love his cloudy pattern! He did great last season and I can't wait to see what he helps to produce this year!

Our Story

Almost Heaven Herps was started by a girl who grew up on a farm in rural West Virginia. She was never able to shake her fascination with all things wildlife, in particular reptiles and amphibians! She spent her kid years turning over rocks and logs looking for lizards, frogs, newts, and salamanders.

Nowadays, this girl has found her one true reptile love; geckos! So here are Almost Heaven Herps, we work to collect and produce beautiful geckos so that one day another young herper-to-be can discover their own fascination with these wonderful animals!

Our focus is to produce the healthiest, most beautiful, and biggest headed geckos around! To help achieve this, we never ever rush incubation using added heat. We cook our eggs “low and slow”, letting our geckos stay in their eggs for as long as they want. This has been proven to increase not only the health but also the structure and overall beauty of hatchlings.

We also enjoy spending time helping to educate others about how to take care of these lil gecks so that we can help ensure all geckos get to live out the lives they deserve!
