Our Story

Welcome to Hope's Geckos, we are based in Hamilton which is a town just outside of Glasgow. We focus on breeding Leachianus, Chahoua, Gargoyle, Mourning, Spiny Tail and Crested Geckos as well as Pink Tongue Skinks. This is a hobby and as such we do not produce geckos on an industrial scale and keep a lot of the young we produce to add to our collection. We began keeping geckos in in 2008 by getting our first crested gecko. In 2009, we attempted our first breeding of our female, she produced beautiful babies and from there we have been hooked . We are passionate and dedicated that all of our gecko's provided with the correct care and husbandry.

Crested Gecko's are fascinating animals and have an equally interesting back story. We were drawn to them at first for their appearance, but quickly found their behaviour and quirkiness the real clincher. Each animal does have a unique personality and not one of our gecko's act the same. After a year of having crested geckos we made the decision to get our first gargoyle gecko, they are great animals, and although require the same husbandry as the crested gecko they are quite different. We had bred gargoyles from 2010 and produced primarily striped gargoyles.

Then in 2013 we made the decision to get our first Chahoua gecko as there had always been an appeal but availability has always been restrictive. A beautiful male became available and we grabbed at the chance. When he arrived we quickly discovered just how great this species is. They have become our personal favourite and from that single male we acquired 2 pairs.

In 2014 Hope Exotics had gone through quite a shift in focus. This year a decision was made to drastically reduce our Crested gecko collection only keeping a few stunning animals for future breeding and to produce a few young a year. With the reduction of the crested gecko collection and selling the entire gargoyle collection we made the decision to focus on Chahouas and Leachianus geckos. We got our first pair of Leachianus that summer and they are just fascinating and look prehistoric. From there we have increased to a second pair.

In 2017 we then made a new venture and added Madagascan Giant Day Geckos. These diurnal gems livened up the collection with all their antics which unlike the rest of the collection were out all day! We now have two pairs of high reds and are hoping to have our first babies this year.

Roll onto 2019 and things have changed again. The animal room went through a renovation with new shelving units and lay outs. We brought back gargoyles to the collection by introducing a pair as well as babies that are all unrelated and come from different bloodlines so we can make a couple of trios in the future. We also diverged from the rainforest species and have ventured into the world of leopard geckos which has been quite fun. We didn't expect the leopards to have so much character, every night they come over to the vivarium doors to see us which is great.....though its purely food related than affection. We also got a couple of pink tongue skinks in 2018 and this year got confirmation we had an unrelated pair so that was really good news and hopefully means we will be able to breed them in the future. They are amazing animals and have quickly become a favourite. We cant wait for them to breed especially as they give birth to live young. We also made the decision to no longer breed Phelsuma grandis and have moved our animals on. When we made the decision to move on from Phelsuma grandis we thought about a new project. After some thinking and looking we got a young pair of unsexed Strophurus williamsi which will be exciting to get involved in a species that isn't too common in the hobby. That's not all! We also decided to expand our Crested gecko collection slightly by adding two new young females, an unsexed animal and kept a baby we produced with the intentions of setting up a new trio or a couple of pairs. This is the largest expansion we have made with our crested geckos in years, but its what brought us into the hobby and we would like to work a little harder on our white wall line we started back in 2010. All in all 2019 has been a big year for changes.

Things took a slight turn as we neared the end of 2019. We decided to reduce our collection of reptiles to get more involved in a hobby we have wanted to be involved in since childhood which was budgies, in particular exhibition budgies. This decision meant we removed leopard geckos completely from the collection and reduced our gargoyle numbers to only one pair. We have now got the capacity to breed 8 pairs of budgies at a time with the ambition to build a bird shed in the garden. Although we feel it was a great shame to remove our leopard geckos and reduce the gargoyle collection we have no regrets. Budgie breeding is a fascinating hobby. We have a rich family history of budgie breeding and admiration. Might seem an odd combination, reptiles and budgies, but we are all odd at Hope Exotics!!!

Our aim as hobbyist breeders is to produce healthy, beautiful animals that are not in**ed, come from different breeders and well established blood lines. Each animal chosen for its health . Which are kept at the highest standards we can give and that any babies we do not keep go to good homes. We keep detailed records of each of our geckos, all of our babies have their records starting from hatch day to departure day. All our gecko's are fed Pangea Complete Diets, Repashy Complete diets and Leapin’ Leachies diets. The geckos that we select to breed would at the very least be 2 years, and weigh at above the minimum weight to breed to ensure the health of the parents as well as their offspring. It is our practice however to only breed chahouas over 3 years old, Leachianus over 4 years old and crested geckos over 2 years old. We only sell healthy gecko's which are eating, pooing and shedding well.
