Things to Know - Wholesale Hatchling Crested Geckos
- We Have a Minimum Order of 3 Hatchlings Per Type
We went from requiring a minimum wholesale purchase of 10 geckos per type to no minimum all. That didn't work out so well, so we tried what turned out to be a rather inconvenient blanket minimum order of $99 on the website (which is now gone). Now it's a reasonable minimum of 3 per type.
- Generally speaking, hatchlings are not recommended for novice keepers.
Anytime we sell geckos under 5 grams, we try to make sure the customer knows what they're doing prior to the sale. I strongly recommend you do the same if you're planning on reselling them at hatchling size.
- At hatchling size, they can be safely shipped, but the shipper needs to know what they're doing.
Care must be taken to keep them cool and well-hydrated during transit. We provide a damp paper towel in the shipping cups and use cold packs when necessary.
- The longer you grow these out, the closer to their adult value you will be able to get for them.
If you raise them to adult size, many of these will be worth 5-10x or more what you're paying.
- DISTRIBUTOR DISCOUNTS
Because we like to create a level playing field for all our resellers, wholesale prices are generally not negotiable unless orders exceed 100+ geckos for wholesale distributors or exporters, who are supplying a number of other resellers.
If you are a wholesale distributor (supplying stores) or an exporter requiring regular shipments of 50-100+, please get in touch with Anthony via text or email (bottom right hand corner website menu) for distributor pricing and availability.
3 GRADES OF WHOLESALE CRESTED GECKOS
COMMON MORPHS
Every breeder is going to produce a smaller proportion of plainer, lower gene-count geckos, simply as a byproduct of the genetic odds game that we're playing. For every 1-in-8 three-gene genetic combo you hatch, you will also hatch a gecko that inherited zero of those three genes - that's how genetic odds work. Those plainer geckos are what you will see referred to as common morphs. These geckos often sell out very quickly to pet shop distributors, due to their low price and the fact that we (intentionally) don't produce very many.

HIGH-END
These are geckos that would have been cutting edge several years ago, and in many cases are still selling for hundreds of dollars as adults. These geckos are still very high quality geckos by today's standards, many will develop our trademark structure, but they're just no longer highly sought-after by serious hobbyists and breeders.

ULTRA HIGH-END
These are choice geckos from some of our newest projects, which are referred to as Ultra High-End. These geckos become available in surplus in cases where we might have better than expected luck with a particular project or gene, or we just produced too many from a particular project at a particular time (usually due to seasonality). If you're a breeder, this is a great way to add to your own projects and offer a better/bigger selection to your customers by selling off what you don't need. This grade is our most popular seller to serious gecko breeders.
