Available Geckos
Pricing of Geckos: I try to price my geckos fairly. I have a family and a job, and these will always be higher on my priority list than pushing sales of geckos on Facebook and other outlets. Therefore, I may set my prices a bit lower than some since I do not have the time to do a lot of advertising / vending. I enjoy the process and challenge of keeping and breeding geckos of well over 20 species. In order to do this, some geckos must be sold to pay for the food and upkeep of my animals, and to keep the size of my collection manageable. I thank you for considering Ridge and Valley Reptiles for your gecko purchase, and thank you to my many repeat customers.
March 2016 Update: The spring shipping window looks like it's here a bit earlier than normal this year, and I will be trying to update and add available geckos as time allows. Last year I didn't push sales very hard and so I have some well started geckos kind of stacked up here that I will need to move out to make some room. Prices will reflect this. I will make deals on males and multiples. If you have any questions, please contact me.
* Sorry, I don't assign "cutesy names" to all of my geckos. When a gecko makes it into my own breeding group, I give them a name (although I don't claim to be very good at it LOL). For geckos being sold, I will leave the naming up to the buyers.

YO13-07 (Yelp x Oso) $175
25 g Female (This weight and pricing is from last fall... I will be taking new pics and weighing her soon... I'm sure she's up to breeding weight by now, and I will most likely be bumping her price up a bit when I post the new pics)
Yelp is one of my older males that has produced some really nice babies for me over the years. I often use him with females that are first year breeders, as he's a gentle guy and very fertile. You can see many examples of Yelp's kids from over the last few years by scrolling down and looking at recent sales, as well as archived sales. Oso is a female unrelated to any of my other geckos. I bought her as an unsexed baby, and she was a slow grower, so it took her a while to reach breeding size. Although unrelated, she reminds me a lot of "Pins", the male that was a foundation of my original pinstripe line, so I looked forward to crossing her into this line. The first year I tried to breed her, I didn't get any fertile eggs from her, so the following year I bred her with Yelp, as it seems like he never fails. Although it's not the cross I originally planned, I'm very pleased with how these Yelp x Oso offspring are turning out. This female has a very dark base color. Fully fired up, she's almost black. You can see a beautiful yellow, full pin female from this same cross if you scroll down a bit.
KDos 13-05 (Kareem x Dos Gekkis) $ $275 (SOLD!!)
36.5 g Female
This is another example of the cross between a Ridge and Valley female - Dos Gekkis (Pins x Uno --- aka Castellano x Crescenza) and a male from the Gilpin's LAC lines - Kareem (Sideburns x Squirt). This is a good example of the yellow pinstripes that this cross has produced for me. No spots; full pinstripe; and good laterals as well. I left a few pictures up of her when she was just 17 grams last season (top row) as well as a few recent pics at 36 grams (bottom row). She's not the most cooperative gecko for photo shoots. She just kind of lays there haha... but I think you can see how she's filled out and matured nicely. For the most recent photo shoot, I just grabbed her from her tub and shot with a pop up flash, so the pics aren't fancy, but give a pretty good feel for her color and structure. She's up to breeding weight and is just waiting for someone with a nice yellow pinstripe / yellow quadstripe project.
KDos13-08 (Kareem x Dos Gekkis) $135 (SOLD!!)
29 g Male
This is another example of the cross between a Ridge and Valley female - Dos Gekkis (Pins x Uno --- aka Castellano x Crescenza) and a male from the Gilpin's LAC lines - Kareem (Sideburns x Squirt). You can see a couple of nice full siblings listed below. This first year cross has turned out some nice offspring ranging from nice yellows to dark, high contrast geckos like this one. So far, this cross hasn't produced a lot of spots, but a few came through on this guy. If you like the dark base colors, this guy is for you!
YO 13-05 (Yelp x Oso) $250 (SOLD!!)
22 g Female
Yelp is one of my older males that has produced some really nice babies for me over the years. I often use him with females that are first year breeders, as he's a gentle guy and very fertile. You can see many examples of Yelp's kids from over the last few years by scrolling down and looking at recent sales, as well as archived sales. Oso is a female unrelated to any of my other geckos.

The first year I tried to breed her, I didn't get any fertile eggs from her, so the following year I bred her with Yelp, as it seems like he never fails. Although it's not the cross I originally planned, I'm very pleased with how these Yelp x Oso offspring are turning out. This is a clean, yellow, full pinstripe, that is now a definite female (pictures were taken at 10 grams... she's now 20+ grams).
KDos 13-01 (Kareem x Dos Gekkis) $225 (SOLD!!)
13.4 Possible Male
This 13.4 g possible male is from a new cross at Ridge and Valley Reptiles. I have recently crossed a few of my Ridge and Valley line females with males I raised up from the Gilpin's LAC lines. Kareem (Sideburns x Squirt) x Dos Gekkis (Pins x Uno --- aka Castellano x Crescenza). This possible male has a lot of nice things going on. He's a full pinstripe which is always nice, but also has a lot of white spots (I'm open to discussion about whether this is similar or different than AC's snowflake morph... I don't really get too caught up in morph descriptions. I just let the pictures speak for what the gecko is). Also has nice thick pinning (almost double in places). I haven't grown up any animals from this cross yet, but based on the bloodlines and how this one is developing, I have a feeling he's going to be an extremely nice and unique breeding male. Asking $225 + shipping.
KDos 13-04 (Kareem x Dos Gekkis) $175 (SOLD!!)
10.4 g Possible Male
This 10.7 g possible male is from a new cross at Ridge and Valley Reptiles. I have recently crossed a few of my Ridge and Valley line females with males I raised up from the Gilpin's LAC lines. Kareem (Sideburns x Squirt) x Dos Gekkis (Pins x Uno --- aka Castellano x Crescenza). This possible male is a full pinstripe which is always nice, and has a very clean look about him, with some nice cream coming in on his sides. I haven't grown up any animals from this cross yet, but based on the bloodlines and how this one is developing, I think he's going to be a promising breeding male. (actually, a little disclaimer... I'm not 100% sure this one is male. I think I see pores, but at this weight I would expect them to be much more obvious. I'm pricing him as a male. If "he" sticks around long enough to develop a bit more and turns out to be a female, the price will increase accordingly) Asking $175 + shipping.
Cyrtodactylus peguensis peguensis $225 each (Both SOLD!!)
Females - 2 available
I feel really bad posting these 2 rare and gorgeous geckos up for sale. These are really cool geckos and I would love to be the person to keep them and breed them, but after almost 2 years of looking for a male of this subspecies, I have had no luck. I am only offering them to someone who feels they might have better luck in finding a male (perhaps from overseas sources?) than I have. If the buyer has luck in producing offspring, I will probably be first in line to buy, as these have become a favorite of mine. Pricing is as follows:
$225 for 1
$400 for 2
$225 for 1
$400 for 2
2014 Nephrurus wheeleri $135 (All SOLD!!)
Unsexed - 4 available
Baby wheeleri are very bold and robust little geckos. Very easy to keep and quick growers. Of all the Australian species I have kept and bred, I find these to the most carefree, making them a great "starter species" for those wishing to broaden their gecko horizons a bit. These are all eating regularly and growing like weeds. Pricing is as follows:
$135 for 1
$250 for 2
$360 for 3
$450 for 4
$135 for 1
$250 for 2
$360 for 3
$450 for 4
2014 Correlophus sarasinorum $125 (All SOLD!!)
Unsexed from July - September (3 currently available)
These are all full siblings from my breeding pair of saras that I received directly from Allen Repashy in a trade. They are wild type "normal" coloration. The parents do have a bit of speckling to their pattern. These always hatch out large and grow rapidly. I wish my crested geckos had the same kind of appetite as the saras. Pricing is as follows:
$125 for 1
$200 for 2
$275 for 3
$125 for 1
$200 for 2
$275 for 3
Recently Sold Geckos
YDos12-07 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $275 (SOLD!!)
37.1 g Female
This is a full sibling to the girl shown above. With her darker color, she takes after her mother, Dos Gekkis, who is one of my top breeders, and a daughter of the well known Pins x Uno cross (now known as Castellano and Crescenza). This girl has a wonderfully structured head and very long eyelash crests. She does have a bit of "floppy tail syndrome". It's not real noticeable unless she is hanging headfirst in her cage, and this will not detract from her potential as a breeder. I did reduce her price somewhat because of this.
YDos12-08 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $$325 (SOLD!!)
36.2 g Female
This is another female that I was seriously considering adding to my yellow pinstripe breeding group. I still may if she doesn't sell. There are plenty of her siblings posted here on the site to see. Some are dark like Dos Gekkis, but the majority are nice yellows like Yelp. This pairing also produces some pretty nice laterals as well as excellent crests and head structure.
YDos12-09 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $250 (SOLD!!)
33.6 g Female
Another very nice Yelp and Dos Gekkis daughter that should be ready to breed later this summer. This girl has some interesting orange tipped scales along her head, and a nice yellow / orange base color. See the descriptions above for more information about this cross.
Chondrodactylus angulifer $90 (SOLD!!)
Male - Pet / Display Animal only
This guy is the boldest gecko I've ever owned. He is not at all shy and will feed readily from tongs. He never turns down a meal. I have a pretty nice collection of this species, and this guy is a prime example of what they should look like. He bred for me in 2011, and produced some offspring, but had some breeding problems. I tried him again in 2012 and had the same problems, so I retired him from breeding. It's a shame because he's the nicest of the 3 males I have. If he was being sold as a breeding animal, I'd be asking $300 for him (I just paid $250 - $300 each for 2 new males to replace him, and they're not as impressive as he is... I can only hope they mature to look as nice as he does). As a really cool display animal / pet, I'm only asking for $90 + shipping. I'd just like to get him into someone's hands who will give him a nice display tank and appreciate seeing him prowl his domain. He's quite active and visible most of the time.
Rhacodactylus Sarasinorum $125 (SOLD!!)
32g Male - 2011
This male Sarasinorum from 2011 is ready to breed. I received his parents in a trade directly with Allen Repashy. For those that haven't worked with sarasinorum, they are kept exactly like crested geckos. I think the sleek, more streamlined look is interesting. My sara's are definitely more shy and quick than cresteds or chahoua, but with a little handling they settle down pretty nicely.
YD11-05 (Yelp x Dasha) $400 (SOLD!!)
37.3 g Female
Look at all the cream on this girl! This is a holdback female that I didn't intend to post for sale. How often do you find anyone releasing ready to breed females of this quality? The only reason I'm considering letting her go is because I have a "knock your socks off" male that's a full brother to her who is really something special and will be ready to breed next year. I need to find a top quality, unrelated female or two to go with him, and they don't come cheap. This is a very limited time offer, as I will be pairing her up with a nice full pinstripe male if she doesn't sell, and then she'll be staying here. As I'm typing this, I'm almost talking myself out of even listing her because I know I can make more than the asking price with just a few of her babies. Grab her before I change my mind (or don't... maybe that would make me happier LOL). I will also entertain trade offers for a high quality yellow pinstripe female (I'm going to be picky).
YDos12-05 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $200 (SOLD!!)
27.2 g Female
Anyone have a "dark gecko" project? Here's a female who would fit right in. This girl is a throwback to her grandparents (Pins x Uno) who occasionally used to throw a really dark baby now and then. I haven't seen this dark base and lack of harlequin patterning on any other Yelp x Dos Gekkis offspring... interesting how genetics works. She doesn't fit in with any of my current projects. Maybe she will with yours.
YDos12-02 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $200 (SOLD!!)
32.7 g Female
My "Available" page has really been "male heavy" lately because the females tend to go as soon as, or even before, they make it to the website. The few I'm posting in this update probably won't last long either. This is just a nice little girl from a well tested cross who's almost up to breeding size, and should be ready to go in a couple more months.
YDos11-04 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $130 (SOLD!!)
28 g Male
This is a very striking and impressive dark pin male. I really like this one. Great structure, a high percentage pin, and dashed laterals are a few of the features which makes this one a promising breeder. This cross tends to produce a nice mix of yellow pins and dark pins. Look at the "recently sold" geckos below to see many more examples from this cross.
YDos11-03 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) (SOLD... Package Deal!)
34.6 g Male
This gecko has the strong and proven genetics of Yelp and Dos Gekkis which has produced many high end breeding animals. YDos 11-03 has nice structure and nice cream but didn't get quite as much pinstriping as some of his siblings. You can see the yellow of Yelp trying to come through on this one, but it didn't quite make it as cleanly as it often does from this cross.
YD10-05 (Yelp x Dasha) (SOLD... Package Deal!)
27.5 g Male
Here's another of the yellows that Yelp and Dasha usually pass on to their babies. Dasha is a high quality female from my Pins x Lava cross that produced many very high quality geckos. You can see many of his siblings posted below. This guy has been hanging out on my available list for a while, so I've reduced the price on him. He fires up to a really nice yellow, and he has no faults. He just doesn't have as much pinstriping as some of his siblings.
Goniurosaurus luii (Male # 3) - A beautiful, bright 2012 male from an aberrant pairing. $125 (SOLD!!)
Goniurosaurus luii, with their electric orange colors and deep red eyes make a wonderful addition to the gecko collection. Not seen as often as the related but more common G. hainanensis, these geckos retain much of their bright coloration even as adults.
Goniurosaurus luii (Female # 1) - 2012 female from an aberrant pairing. $225 (SOLD!)
This is a strikingly colored member of the Goniurosaurus genus, and somewhat hard to find compared to the more common G. hainanensis. Like all Goniurosaurus, they are a shy species, but I find my luii to be more visible and not quite as shy as my hainanensis. They prefer moderate temperatures and moist conditions similar to what you might use for many of the Rhacodactylus species. This female will be ready to breed in 2014.
Goniurosaurus luii (Male # 1) - Aberrant pattern makes this male the start of an interesting breeding project! $200 (SOLD!)
2011 Ready to breed aberrant patterned male. This guy's color and patterning is outstanding! A wonderful gecko.
Goniurosaurus luii (Male # 2) - Electric orange stripes on this 2012 male! $150 (SOLD!)
Goniurosaurus luii, with their electric orange colors and deep red eyes make a wonderful addition to the gecko collection. Not seen as often as the related but more common G. hainanensis, these geckos retain much of their bright coloration even as adults. This male is especially bright and colorful. He'll be ready to breed in 2014.
YDos11-06 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $275 (SOLD!!)
25 g Male
This is a male I'm not in a hurry to sell. I'm pretty male heavy at the moment, and I really don't need another male right now, but this is one that is good enough that I will be happy to keep him even if it means I have to go out and look for another top notch female to pair up with him. So, if he does not sell, he'll be producing for me next year. He has a lot of strong characteristics, but if you're trying to add lateral lines to your program, they don't get much better than this guy.
YDos11-05 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $185 (SOLD!)
27 g Male
Wow! What a beautiful male. His white dorsal and side markings are extremely clean and bright. Yelp consistently throws offspring which are more impressive than he is, which is why I continue to use him. Of course, it also doesn't hurt that the dam of this gecko was Dos Gekkis, a daughter of the well known Pins x Uno cross that did so well for me in the past. Not only is this gecko an impressive potential breeder in his own right, but he also has the genetic background to make a top notch breeder as well.
Geckonia chazalia (Helmeted gecko) - 2011 male $75 (SOLD!)
I worked with this species for many years and they are still one of my all time favorites. They have a load of personality in a small package. This guy hatched out after I had sold the rest of my collection of this species, and it's time he finds a new home with someone who has a breeding project or who just wants a unique and interesting display animal.
YD11-03 (Yelp x Dasha) $300 (SOLD!!)
27.8 g Female
This is really an outstanding female that will make a great addition to a quality breeding program. She has a high percentage of very clean pinstriping that runs right up along her head, and has a lot of coloration on her lavender base. These are the kinds of geckos that have been the base of my breeding program over the years, and her lineage shows through. She'll be added to my own breeding program next year if she doesn't sell.
YD11-02 (Yelp x Dasha) $200 (SOLD!!)
20.5 Female
A nice yellow female with peach / pink undertones. I'm not quite sure what the final coloration of this one is going to be. She's always been a light yellow, but as she's grown, this little bit of peach coloration has also shown up.
YD11-04 (Yelp x Dasha) $125 (SOLD!!)
21.4 g Male
Here's a really nice clean, creamy dorsal boy with a nice amount of white creeping up the sides as well. He's not fully fired up here. When he is fully fired, the contrast is VERY nice. Good structure, well proven bloodlines, and nice coloration make this boy a promising prospect as a future breeder.
YD11-01 (Yelp x Dasha) $175 (SOLD!!)
25 g Male
Here's a pinstripe with a whole lot going on... full pinstripe; full laterals; nice structure; and a spattering of spots. This pairing produces some perfectly clean babies and some with a spot here and there. This is probably the spottiest one they've ever produced... they must have been saving up some spots for this one LOL. I know some people aren't big fans of spots, and others think they add a unique touch and some personality. If this boy was clear of spots, he'd be priced significantly higher, so if you're one of the ones who like the spots, here's a bargain just for you. For those looking for a unique project to refine, if you look closely you'll also see that he has multiple rows of pinstripe scales.
YDos10-06 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $125 (SOLD!)
28 g Male
I was really hoping this one would be a female, but it's another boy. I've been watching this one grow up, and it's always been one of the brightest ones in the batch. He is really yellow! If you're looking for a nice yellow and cream pinstripe for a project, this male is top notch. This is a definite breeding quality male. (The first set of photos was taken at 14 grams, the second set was taken at 28 grams. I have dropped the price on this one significantly as I noticed a bit of floppy tail during this new photoshoot.)
PU10-07 (Pins x Uno) $125 (SOLD!!)
32 g Male
This is the last of my Pins x Uno holdbacks. When these are gone, there won't be any more. You simply have to look back at the archived sold geckos to see the large number of quality geckos this pair produced. This boy is no exception. He has the interesting "waves" side pattern that Pins threw so often, as well as the nice fringing that goes right up along the head. This handsome boy with impeccable genetics is now ready to breed.
2012 Underwoodisaurus milli
See pricing below (ALL SOLD!)
2012 Underwoodisaurus milli - I have a bunch (13) of Underwoodisaurus milli geckos for sale. I have 2 unrelated pairs and am very proud of my breeding group. These babies reflect the quality of that group. In my opinion, you won't find better representatives of this species. To me they are one of the most underrated geckos out there. Really attractive coloration; big dark eyes; easy keepers; and tolerate a bit of handling. Some of these are big enough to make a pretty good guess on sex, others are not quite there yet. I am able to provide unrelated animals from my 2 lines. Pricing is as follows...
All 13 geckos - $1200 shipped. I realize that's a lot of money, but it comes out to less than $100 each which is really a steal for this species. Match up some unrelated pairs from this group and you have an instant breeding group.
Unrelated pairs (probable) $275
Probable females $200
Probable males $110
Unsexed $135
Discounts for multiple animals.

2.2.1 Nephrurus levis levis - 2012 hatchlings
See pricing below (ALL SOLD!)
I have a nice batch of Nephrurus levis from 2012 that are growing fast. These "perpetually smiling" Australian geckos remain one of the most popular Australian geckos. These 2012 hatchlings range in size from 17+ grams - 7 grams. Most of them are sexable. I have pics of the vent area if needed. The pics that follow are 3 of the actual animals offered. They are priced as follows...
2.2.1 Nephrurus levis - $1200 shipped. You'd have a hard time buying 5 males for that price. Selling the group to one buyer and only having to box and ship once is convenient for me, thus the significant discount compared to individual prices.
1.1 - $550 + shipping
Lone females - $450 + shipping
Lone males - $200 + shipping

PU10-08 (Pins x Uno) $300 (SOLD!)
30 g Female
I had some interest in this girl, so I weighed her and did a quick photo shoot (Nov. 30). She has more than doubled in size since spring when the first set of pictures was taken. She should easily be breedable in 2013 at the rate she is growing. This is the last female of my classic Pins x Uno (now known as Castellano and Crescenza) cross. I already have one of their daughters in my breeding program, and she is producing wonderful offspring. I'm pricing this girl at a "I'd really like to keep her for myself, but I'd sell her for the right price" pricetag. I'd be glad to add her to my own groups just based on her excellent genetics. The first 3 pictures below are her at 13 grams. The second set of 3 pictures are her at 29.9 grams.
Nephrurus wheeleri $200 (SOLD!)
19 g female
Here's an 18 month old female that's ready to breed this season. I held her back thinking I might pick up another unrelated male, but I haven't gotten around to it yet, so I figured it was best to offer her to see if someone else had a male ready for her. One good clutch of eggs and you'll have this girl paid for.
MC11-01 (Teek x Tinley) $325 (TRADED!)
38g Male PI Chahoua
I only got 2 viable eggs from my female Pine Island chahoua in 2011. While I'm very pleased with the quality of the offspring this first time cross produced, both offspring turned out to be males. I would be very interested in trading for an unsexed PI baby or as partial trade towards a sexable female. The sire of this male is from Terri Kane and the female is one I picked up from Kent Householder at Tinley in 2008.
YDos12-04 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $500 (TRADED!)
6.0 g Unsexed
This is one that I did not intend to post for sale. This is one of 2 geckos from last year that I intended to holdback for myself. I really think that this is the best gecko I have produced from this cross, and is probably the best yellow pin that I have ever produced. This gecko is only 6 grams! The head structure and color on this one is what I normally hope to see on a gecko that's twice this size. I really want to see what this one looks like by the end of the summer. I think it's going to be a very special gecko. I really would rather not sell this one. I am posting this one mostly in the hopes that someone out there has an outstanding gecko that they might be willing to let go in a bloodline trade. I need to infuse some new bloodlines into my breeding groups and am going to be quite picky about what I'll accept in trade, as I really want this one to stay around here.
YDos11-01 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $175 (SOLD!)
27 g Male
This is a beautiful male from the Yelp x Dos Gekkis cross that has produced some really top notch offspring. This guy is spotless and very creamy and has excellent structure. This is one that I would definitely recommend to someone looking for a top notch male for a breeding program... and at 27 grams (as of Jan. 19, 2013), it won't be long until he's ready to meet some ladies.
MC11-02 (Teek x Tinley) $325 (SOLD!)
44g Male PI Chahoua
I only got 2 viable eggs from my female Pine Island chahoua in 2011. While I'm very pleased with the quality of the offspring this first time cross produced, both offspring turned out to be males. I would be very interested in trading for an unsexed PI baby or as partial trade towards a sexable female. The sire of this male is from Terri Kane and the female is one I picked up from Kent Householder at Tinley in 2008.
YDos10-08 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $125 (SOLD!!)
13.7 g Probable Male
Here's a really nice high contrast boy with a lot of cream and great structure. Look at those crests! He's not fully fired here. Look at some of the other Yelp x Dos Gekkis offspring on this page and you'll see the consistent quality they're producing. This boy is no exception.
YD10-07 (Yelp x Dasha) $150 (SOLD!!)
15.5 g Probable Male
This is a VERY nice male from the Yelp x Dasha cross. I would expect him to be obviously sexable by this size, but he has me a little confused by his lack of "manly signs". I do see light pores, so I'm selling him as a male at a male price. He won the Mr. Photogenic award for this photoshoot. Usually I will snap 15 - 20 quick pics and then pick out 3 or 4 of the best ones. With this guy, almost every shot was a quality shot, so if you want to see more angles and poses, just let me know. I am kind of male heavy right now, so I am pricing some of the recently updated males a bit lower to try to move some of them on to new homes. Earlier in the season I probably would have posted this guy $50 - $100 higher in price. He definitely deserves to be part of a nice breeding group.
YD10-08 (Yelp x Dasha) $125 (SOLD!!)
15.2 g Possible Male?
I'm pricing this gecko as a male, but the reason I refer to him as a "possible male" is because I'm not 100% sure. "He's" showing no sign of a bulge yet, and under the loupe the pores I'm seeing are very faint. Usually by this size, it's a pretty easy call. However, because I am seeing faint pores, I would rather sell the gecko as a male, and if it turns out I'm wrong, someone will get a real bargain. If I'm right, and he's just a late developer, then he's a nice looking guy in his own right. The toes on his front foot look funny in the middle picture, but are just tucked under. You can clearly see they're OK in the other pictures.
PL10-06 (Pins x Lava) $300 (SOLD!!)
19.9 g Female
This girl was one of the few holdbacks that I wasn't planning on putting up for sale, but I've had so many requests for sexable females that I decided I could let her go. She's a beautiful pinstripe with a lot of cream in the dorsal and laterals. I really like the way the pinstriping continues right up along her head. She's about 2/3 fired up here. When she's fully fired, the base color is very dark and the cream really pops. She's also the last female I have from the Pins x Lava cross that produced so many nice geckos for me over the years. I certainly wouldn't mind keeping this one (that was the original plan).
YDos10-05 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $300 (SOLD!!)
15 g Male
People have been contacting me asking for "high end" geckos, and "clean geckos with no spots". Well, this orange and cream boy is both of those things. This is one that I would really like to hold onto for a while longer, and is priced accordingly. He is getting better and better as he matures, and may not stay "available" for long if I keep finding him fired up as nicely as he has been recently. Yelp x Dos Gekkis are a relatively new pairing, but have already produced some really nice offspring for me (see recently sold geckos below). This guy may very well be the best one yet from this pairing. In fact, this may be one of the best crested geckos I've produced in my years of breeding geckos. I don't often do bloodline trades, but since this boy is related to many of my current animals, I might be tempted by females or males of equal quality from established bloodlines.
PU10-05 (Pins x Uno) $200 (SOLD!!)
20.4 g Male
This is one of the last (and best) Pins x Uno "babies" that I held on to when I sold the parents (now known as Castellano and Crescenza over at JB's Geckos). I was so hoping that this one would be a female that I could add to my breeding groups. Even after it became obvious that it was a male, I strongly considered holding him back and building a group around him next year. His contrast is outstanding and he just has so much patterning. However, I do have a male that's a full sibling that I'm breeding for the first time this year, and I probably don't need another Pins x Uno male around here. Let him jumpstart your breeding program.
YD10-09 (Yelp x Dasha) $ 175 (SOLD!!)
12.4 g Female
Here's a very nice total package. This girl is a bright yellow pinstripe with very nice lateral stripes. Add in a snow white tail and fringing, and you have a very striking gecko. One nice thing about this gecko is that she's not one of those geckos that rarely fires up. She almost always looks this nice. Her price will rise as she gets closer to breeding size.
YDos10-01 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $175 (SOLD!)
21.5 g Male
This guy is impressive! Great structure with almost full pinstriping and a nice creamy dorsal as well as great laterals. His clutchmate (YDos10-02) who sold almost instantly when offered can be seen below. This male doesn't have the yellow base color of his brother, but is equally or even more impressive in other areas. He did have a tail nip as a youngster which has long since healed.
YDos10-02 (Yelp x Dos Gekkis) $225 (SOLD!)
20.2 g Male
Pictures don't do this guy justice! He is one of the nicest males I've ever let go. This is what I've been working towards with my yellow pinstripe group. If this one was a female, it would be a cornerstone of my next step forward with this group. His pinstriping and lateral lines are almost perfect. Unfortunately, this year my batch of holdbacks is pretty male heavy and I can't keep them all. This is one of two males that I'm just not sure if I want to sell, so I decided I'd put them both up for sale and see which one sells first. When one sells, the other will probably then be pulled as a holdback to join my breeding groups next year.
Pins and Uno - Producers of Extreme Harlequin Pinstripes
(SOLD!)
Not the most creative of names, I will admit, but these 2 geckos have never produced an ugly baby in the several years they have been producing for me. One only has to look at the consistent quality of their offspring (look at "recently sold" below) to see that this is a "golden cross". Pins is from Allen Repashy stock. He's a calm guy and has always been a gentleman with the ladies. I raised Uno up from a baby. She consistently passes along the white pinstripes that edge her head. I get a mixture of full and high percentage pinstripes from these two, as well as the nice harlequin markings.
Yelp and Lava - Producers of Tricolors, Orange Pinstripes, and Harlies
(SOLD!)
This pair doesn't have a long history together. Lava has normally been paired up with Pins, but in 2008 I did a test cross with Yelp and an "average female" to see what he could do. The results were so good, I decided the next year to give him a chance with one of my top females... Lava. I got a mixture of yellow / orange pinstripes (see YL8-13 and YL8-10 below), as well as an interesting mix of Halloweens, Tricolors, etc... Last year, I paired up Yelp with a daughter of Lava and the results were excellent. I haven't let anything go from that cross yet. Yelp has excellent head structure and although he isn't a full pinstripe, he has thrown fulls and high % offspring. Lava was produced by Anthony Caponetto, and has crossed well with both Yelp and Pins. She has produced some extremely high quality offspring... "Starburst" once owned by MissKiwi on the forums, who was recently sold for a large sum of money was a daughter of Lava.
