Crested Geckos?

[SilverTycho]

Does anyone know any place to get crested geckos online? I was hoping for a breeder and not an online pet store. It's been so long since I've had geckos, I feel out of place. I'm going to a reptile expo tomorrow, but I'll most likely only be able to get a tarantula at that time.

My favorite online vendor for crested geckos is Pangea Reptile. They were quick to communicate and work through problems, and had a huge selection of gorgeous geckos of all different morphs. My little girl was SO stunning when she arrived - even prettier than in the pictures. The only downside, of course, is that you pay for shipping, and of course you will pay more for any fancy colors or other high-quality genetics (such as prominent crests). They do breed their own stock, but they also sell supplies for geckos and other reptiles, so technically they are an "online pet store". Reptile shows, however, are usually the cheapest source of crested geckos. I've seen them for as little to $30-40 at expos, and they were good quality juveniles.

I know of Pangea Reptiles and am a member of the forum but am not active really but I am looking into getting a crested gecko maybe. idk. Depends. haha I do want one though. They are awesome!

I love that Pangea has an enclosure deal but idk if I'm going to do that if I get a gecko.

I also suggest checking out pangea reptiles.

Wanted to update and say I got one at the expo. I did some thinking and realized even though I'd spend more at the expo (budget wise), I'd be saving money overall due to shipping costs. Of course, I've ordered reptiles online before so shipping costs don't bother me too much, but I was already going to the expo so it seemed the most logical thing to do.

One more thing, are there any good reptile forums? I need to get back in the swing of things. It's been many years since I've been in te reptile hobby.

Well Pangea has a forum but it's mainly for geckos, which I don't know if you are looking for an overall reptile forum or a gecko forum. I haven't really found any all around reptile forums that were active but I may have missed them somewhere! Lol. If you google specific things like "gecko forum" you will come up with tons of results.

Hopefully someone here can better answer your question.

Oh and congrats on your new addition!

Thank you. Yes, I was looking for a gecko forum. That's my only reptile at the moment.

I use the Geckos Unlimited forum when I have questions. Although I'm not very active there, they have been helpful in the past, and generally know quite a lot about a diverse number of gecko species! I highly recommend them, as well as the Pangea forum, for gecko-related discussion and questions.
