I work with crested geckos and sand boas, let me know if you’re looking for something special!

This fresh clutch from Marilyn x Balthazar is killing it! I was pretty happy to see a flame from the pairing, and the dark phantom might just be the darkest phantom I’ve ever seen right out of the egg.

Here’s a few other geckos looking for a last minute ticket out of Ohio before shipping closes— I mostly just couldn’t think of a clever way to bundle them 😅😅😅

Marlboro Red is the last gecko pictured— she is currently NFS on MM because I’m out of listings, but I am willing to entertain serious offers on her.

It’s the last week to ship before I close for 2025 (aside from local shows and pickups of course), and to celebrate a great year I’ve put together three bundles for beginner or experienced breeders alike! These will only be available for a limited time, and all of them are an amazing way to start (or continue) your collection of crested geckos! That first group will very likely join my own breeding lineup if unclaimed 😉

Dear Banshee,
Please and thank you for being a male. I’m not imagining that hemipene bulge, right??

Just a quick update of my sweet Kalahari— one of my newest arrivals from ! Literally my dream gecko in the flesh. Deciding which male in my collection will be worthy as her match when the time is right is gonna be one heck of a challenge!

As if this last reptile show weekend wasn’t exciting enough for me, I came home to the first hatchling from Nightingale produced by Candie Cresteds & More and Phantom of the Opera by Griffin and Mundy's, a pairing I’ve been HIGHLY anticipating and was starting to lose hope on late this last season as Nightingale consistently seemed to be dodging POTO’s advances. The first egg was weird and oblong and I wasn’t sure it was going to hatch… and man am I glad it did! I really can’t thank both of those breeders enough for giving me such a great deal on those two all the way back at Tinley in October 2023.

Remember when I had two holdbacks for my dark flame breeding program from Vixen x Umbreon? Those days are over now that Markarth has rejoined the crew after a few months in the living care of my friend ! When she had her listed on Morphmarket, I reached out to see if we could trade for something she wanted a bit more for her future breeding lineup, and at the show this past weekend she took me up on it! I originally let this girl go because of her dal spots, but I changed my mind and won’t let them ruin any gecko for this very special project I’m working on. Despite being younger than my other holdbacks, Markarth outgrew both of her older siblings Falkreath and Windhelm thanks to Laura’s consistent cricket regimen! (I feed crickets too, but sourcing a thousand at a time can be… a challenge when reptile shows are spread apart and shipping is exorbitant 😭)

I had a very exciting reptile show this weekend thanks to (and everyone else who visited!) I’ve been wanting to give gargoyle geckos another go for a while now and Jay finally convinced me with these two adorable half siblings from his gargoyle breeding projects! (Now named Garnet and Granite respectively.) I’m very partial to the reticulated patterns over the stripes, and I prefer the black/whites to the vivid reds that saturate the gargoyle pages on Morphmarket, and so I’m looking forward to growing these kids out and building a project from them down the line so I can offer a more comprehensive lineup of New Caledonian geckos… Will sarasinorums be next, or leachianus??

I forgot that I still had some more eggs from these two left to hatch! In my defense, I’ve had a really huge 2025 season. Anyways, enjoy some red phantoms, and peep my Morphmarket for one of the eldest siblings from this pairing as well as mamma!

11/02/2025

The first full clutch from Princess Bee and Fuse have hatched! Unfortunately the clutchmate to the first hatchling died just after hatching, so I didn’t include it in the count. I am excited to see which way these base colors will lean as they get older!

11/01/2025

The very last Espeon x Tetsutetsu baby has hatched! The first is still my favorite but I’m looking forward to watching all three of them grow for a while.

10/31/2025

The first hatchlings from Double Rainbow and Rum Punch are here! With this pairing, I was hoping to lean into the bright oranges Rum showed when he was 10-20g, but faded thanks to his capp influence— Double Rainbow’s pattern is very bright and peachy so I suspect she has some citrus influence though I don’t have any lineage for her! I should know as these babies start to grow whether my pairing was on the money or not.

Did you catch that Rum Punch is now listed on Morphmarket by the way?
