I have been looking in to Crested Geckos for a couple days and am thinking about getting one in the next several months. I really like the darker pinstripe morphs. Does anyone know the general pricing on these? I saw that crested geckos can range from $60.00 to $2,000.00. Any rough pricing would be great. I just need to know if this is something I actually want to persue or not.
Quick question on Pinstripe Crested Gecko prices.

I paid $75 for my chocolate male and $100 for my high red. As far as pricing goes you can get a good decent pinstripe I'd say for anywhere between $75-$150. That's my estimate. You can look in the classifieds here and try to get a general idea, also look at fuanaclassifieds. My pair should be producing eggs soon so if you're still in the market feel free to shoot me an email or I'll let you know I have in a few months.
my high red female
my chocolate male.
my high red female my chocolate male.We will see. Its gonna be hard convincing the wife to let me get another. Although I told her some quick little details ive read about them and she seemed to like the idea of them lol. I just would be building it an amazing viv like the Tokays viv that im building now, but when the tokay outgrows it the crested will have it.

Lol they are much more friendly than a Tokay I'm told lol. Ya I'll keep you posted and I'm sure I'll post pics when I get eggs and babies

Ya Oh well lol followed by "sorry hunny" lol
The only trick is that in order to get one I would have to find a way to spend virtually nothing on the entire setup and just spend money on the gecko itself. She's already mad I am putting $400 into the Tokay tank upgrade.
It takes what 3-4 months before they hatch? Im making my wife go to Repticon with me in Orlando and if she gives me the okay by then I will definetely be looking around for a hatchling.

Ya they usually lay a clutch every 35-40 days and incubation time can run 3-4 months depending on temp. Ibwouldnt sell them until they're about 4-5 months so you're looking at around October-November ish. Gives you time to do little by little and spread the spending out
. So I might just have to suprise her one day with one and have it grow on her, otherwise it would probably never happen.CrestedRick

How are the hatchlings doing? I havent been on here in a few months. Im in the process of starting up a new reef tank so ive been busy doing that and research there. Id love to see a few pics if theyve hatched! I am still interested for when theyre ready to be sold. Hopefully ill have the money, reef tanks are a money pit when first setting them up :?

Well I wish I had some hatchlings, apparently they never mated :/ so once I get the spare room in my house is done they will be moved and I try to breed them again.
