Ultra High-End Hatchling Crested Gecko
- 4+ Weeks Old
- Unsexed
- No Full-Tail Guarantee
- Available with Tails @ $45 ea
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.
This is hands down the best value in the hobby, if you're looking for refined quality and a deep gene pool. The catch is, these mixed lots are sold in a no frills manner - you're buying them as a group without photos and they're not individually labeled. On the bright side, you're paying a tiny fraction of their adult value, and they only take about year to grow to breeding size.
If you’re wanting to grow out some awesome geckos to breed later, or you want to raise up some geckos to sell for hundreds of dollars as adults, this is the grade you want and you cannot lose. These geckos also tend to do very well being resold as hatchlings, but the longer you raise them up, the more they'll be worth.
Recommended For: Reptile Shows, Individual Online Sales
Suggested Resale Price Point: $100-250+ as juveniles. 2-4x that as adults.
2025 Ultra High-End List
Below is a list of genes/projects you'll see in these groups. These are from our most current generations and from all the projects ACR is known for.
Het Empty Back Combos
This project is one that's going to make a huge impact on the entire market all at once because of how it played out here. We've produced enough of this gene that we can sell them at a variety of prices. What you'll see in the Ultras for 2025 will be Het Empty combos, which will have top notch colors and structure. Some of these will have Whiteout (het Whitewall) lateral markings.
Soft Scale & Possible Super Soft Combos
We’re producing some INSANE stuff with these genes. Soft scale is doing big things combined with lavender/black types and with the bright base colors. I have some nice stuff set aside for these packages that will blow you away as babies, and you’ll keep being blown away as you see them mature. Supers can be tough to pick out when they're this young compared to how obvious they are as adults, so I'm just saying "possible supers".
Pink-Red Base Color Combos
We have about half a dozen different lineages of pink/red ciliatus, all developed in-house starting anywhere from 15 years ago, to a little over 20 years ago. In that time they've been consistently outcross, with attention paid to appearance and lineage - the goal being to produce near-identical geckos from different lineages, so that we could breed them together - effectively giving us the most genetic diversity and the most consistent color possible.
Pink-Red Dalmatian & Super Dalmatian Combos
The Most Heavily Spotted Babies We Produce - Many, but not all, will become heavily spotted Super Dalmatians. You'll also start to see red spots and porthole lateral markings, as I'm working hard on a "Tri-Color Dalmatian" appearance on my Red Phantom Dalmatians. The idea here is to put red and black Dalmatian spots with Portholes on a pink/red Phantom.
C2 Project Combos - C2/Citrus & C2/Tangerine Line Yellows & Oranges
The BEST yellows and oranges on the planet, hands down. These will BLOW YOUR MIND as they grow...and the pattern combos are only getting better each season.
Lavender and Lavender/Black & Cream Project
The majority of our Ultras being shipped will have Whiteout Laterals and/or Tangerine Pigment, lots of soft scales in this variety as well. You'll also see the occasional visual het Empty Back in this color type.
Jet Black Halloween Harlequin and Halloween Tri-Color Projects
Some of the nicest color and structure you’ve ever seen. Many are Soft Scales. Empty Back is another gene you'll see in here, occasionally.
Top Shelf Phantom Combos
We are doing BIG things with the Phantom gene now and they are POPULAR. We're now getting lots of whiteout markings, great structure & color. You'll be impressed with how they look and at how popular they are with customers. A lot of our Phantoms are now carrying the Soft Scale and Harry line structure genes, which makes them a great platform to build on and to add to existing projects, whether it be to improve size/structure or add genes to.
Whiteout/Whitewall Laterals on All Kinds of Stuff!!!
These have been worked into all of our top projects, so you’ll see some of that in a variety of projects.
SAMPLE PHOTOS ARE NOT JUST OUR BEST EXAMPLES
There will be absolutely nothing but OUTSTANDING HATCHLINGS in this group, and I guarantee you’ll be thrilled with what you receive. These photos were randomly chosen photos of geckos we've sold in recent years and are in no way a "best case scenario", but an accurate representation of the quality you can expect to receive.
If you buy a group and you don’t think this is the best deal to be had in crested geckos, period, send them back for a full refund, no questions asked. I’ve been telling people that about our wholesale lots for years and we have yet to get any back!
