hi

I was searching the internet yesterday when I saw some baby flying geckos on sale for $60.00 (US) it said they were CB and were hand tamed. is that possible? and does it sound like a good deal

you can check it out at Chaotic Nights Reptile - The Den

They are a member of these forums. We also have several other members that breed flying geckos. So, yes, it's certainly possible. Is it a good deal? The only person that can determine that is you. Is it a good deal to you?

great amount of effort for an awesome species, produced in captivity. $60.00 seems like a no brainer.

Definitely! Although I have only had a single captive hatched flyer, she is exceptionally tame. Sara will eat crickets from my fingers usually. She turns 7 yo on 25 June 2010, one week from now.

In fact, Sara is pictured in my avatar here laying eggs on my friend's watchband at 16 months old right in the middle of a show!

the users name is palor
but on the classifieds on kingsnake i see them for 1 for 20 dollars and $55 for a trio

Palor @ $60 = captive bred, parasite free, hydrated, healthy

Kingsnake @ $20 = imported, stressed, dehydrated, mite laden, internal parasites

I don't think that $60 is too much to ask for any captive produced gecko. You'll be much further ahead starting with a flawless c.b. animal!

CB is the way to go, for an extra $40 dollars you cab get a clean feeding shedding specimen or one thtas likely to kill over for $20! vets bills will set you back alot more than than $60 dollors.

Captive bred IS the way to go! Just check out Palor's hatchling Ptychozoon kuhli pics and you should be hooked!
