Another (but different) Crested vs. Gargoyle Thread

[c0ld]

I have my 36x18x36 (lxdxh) planted terrarium and now need to populate it either with crested or gargoyle geckos. I have been doing quite a bit of research but I still need clarity to determine...

Between Gargoyle and Crested (outstanding questions):

*1. Which live better amongst each other? (ie 1 male and 3 females (adults))
*2. Which are easier to sell / find buyers for? (ie. babies)

Known advantages for Crested:

*Better Climbers
*Young can live together, where Gargoyle hatchlings have to be seperated
*More morph variety / patterns / colours etc..
*Breed at younger age
*Breed more (and easier?)

Known advantages for Gargoyles:

*Tails regrow
*Seems newer / market less saturated?
*More docile to owners (I'm not a big reptile handler)

Your responses would be much appreciated!!

ps. While Gargoyles are more expensive in general I find the prices of a high end Crested morph match the price of a high end Gargoyle (red)

Regards
C

As for housing a group gargoyles are not the best choice. I have housed them in 1.2 and 1.3 but their personalities vary making it hard to find a compatible group and there is a better chance of fighting than with cresteds. I have found selling gargoyles quite easy I really never got into breeding cresteds because of how many people already do, though I do keep a few.
