Going price for "day gecko"? I'm sorry, but you'd need to elaborate a bit. Factors such as:
1. Wild Caught vs. Long Term Captive vs. Captive Bred vs. Captive Hatched
2. Age
3. Unsexable vs. Sexable
4. Species

All play CENTRAL roles in determing market prices in collaboration with supply and demand. Some phelsuma can be bought for as low as $20 for fresh wild caught, unsexed to those that LITERALLY can't be bought...

Thanks Harold! I was working up the motivation to reply along those lines... but hadn't found it.

Can I ask what species this pet store has? There are 60+ species you could be talking about, although we all have the 4 usual suspects in mind as probables - but you never know!

I'm gonna take a swing and say they have some WC golddusts in there... in which case $85 is about twice the going rate. If they're grandis then you're getting a fair deal so long as they're in great health.

Can you take some pics of those animals in the shop and post them? Even a cell phone pic might be enough for us to ID them for you.

Ill work on getting some pic's up and honestly i don't know what exact species thy are im wondering if thy even know ill have to talk with the owner of the store i bet. Thanks for the info so far and ill post again with more info.

I'm in Seattle too. Maybe if you can tell me the specific pet store, I might be able to help you out with identifying the species and pricing. I may have been there recently.

Thanks,

Ok so i went back buy the store and from what thy remember thy are red lined day geckos. i don't know the latin version. Thy are captive bred and about 6 to 8 month's old still small from what i could see. sorry i couldn't get any pic's i tried but it was just not working with my camera phone.

would anyone know what spices a red lined day gecko is?
and maybe post a picture of one if you know what im talking about.
How much $ would a red lined CB go for?

Thanks for all your help.

maybe a lineata specie but they don't have red lines. lineata species are called lined daygeckos. phelsuma lineata , lineata bombetokensis , lineata dorsivittata, lineata elanthana. but only three have lines maybe you can be more specifike

Ok so i have gone through a ton of pictures and the best one that matches is,

Phelsuma mad grandis

Is there another species that has a red stripe like a grandis?
How much would a CB Phelsuma mad grandis go for in a normal store.
