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.
Recommended For: Pet Shops, Reptile Shows
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.
Recommended For: Pet Shops, Reptile Shows
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.

MORE GARGOYLE INFO
ABOUT ACR GARGOYLE GECKOS
While we don't produce as many gargoyle geckos as we do cresteds, we still hatch quite a few and our lineages have been in development just as many decades (all two of them - lol). Like our crested geckos, our gargoyles have been bred to get large because I've followed the same principles of constant outcrossing while also breeding for a specific appearance. Most of our modern generation gargoyles top out at anywhere from 90-100+ grams by 5 years of age (though most will breed before two years old).
While Gargoyles have historically lacked the fame and popularity that crested geckos have attained, gargoyle gecko pattern and color morphs have turned out far better and more extreme than I ever anticipated. As the reptile hobby continues to go more mainstream and more hard core reptile breeders look for new or alternative species to develop new projects with, I think we're going to see the gargoyle gecko step out of its famous cousin's shadow and get some of the limelight over the next several years.
