ACR WHOLESALE - JUVENILES
Size: 5-10+ grams
Sex: Unsexed - Can be loupe-sexed, but we do not do so here.
PS - We've never had trouble being male-heavy, so we never hear complaints about too many males!
Things to Know
- Generally speaking, this is the minimum size we recommend for the novice gecko keeper. Juveniles, compared to hatchlings, are tougher and more forgiving of minor husbandry errors, like exposure to less-than-ideal temperatures or humidity. This makes juveniles a good choice for end-customers who still want to raise a gecko from the time it's a "baby", as well as those who want the most bang for their buck in terms of price, while having a better idea of a gecko's adult coloration.
- At juvenile size, they can be safely shipped, but you still need 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.
- If you're looking for geckos substantial enough in size to make a good display at shows, without having to grow them out for a while, juveniles are a great option.
- 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, they'll be worth several times what you're paying.
SPRING UPDATE - JUVENILE AVAILABILITY
Juveniles will be in very limited supply, if available at all over the next 3-6 months, as hatchling inventory is low and we likely won't have extra geckos to grow out to juvenile size for quite some time. With thousands of geckos on hand from a seemingly endless list of projects, I would assume I'll come up with some surplus juveniles that we can offer up in wholesale. That said, the numbers we have on hand now are nothing like we had in 2023/2024, so availability will be very limited in comparison to 2023 and 2024.
