Stripe Gargoyle Gecko CB24

Gargoyle geckos captivate with Gargoyle!ique features as they thrive in New Caledonia. They belong to a diverse group of geckos, which also includes the popular Crested Gecko and the giant Leachie Gecko. Gargoyle geckos, medium-sized arboreal forest lizards, can grow to about 8 inches from snout to tail. With the right care, they thrive for 15-20 years.

Gargoyle Geckos change colour dramatically based on their mood, temperature, and the time of day. Watch your gecko change colour over time, mimicking its natural wild colours. Changing colour helps them protect themselves from predators or attract mates.

Gargoyle geckos, once rare and difficult to locate, now thrive in availability on the market. Gargoyle geckos showcase a vibrant variety of colours and patterns. Vibrant metallic silvers, rich reds, bright yellows, subtle greys, and other captivating hues stand out. They showcase intricate patterns and striking colouration, making them visually appealing reptiles. Their numerous small scales enhance their shiny appearance and deepen their colour.

Caring for your Gargoyle Gecko

House gargoyle geckos individually or in groups, usually with one male and several females. Grasping their social dynamics is essential for fostering a harmonious living environment for these reptiles. Male gargoyle geckos engage in battles. Keep them apart. Adult Gargoyle geckos flourish in spacious enclosures that offer plenty of jumping and exploration opportunities.

A large terrarium that offers vertical space for climbing and horizontal space for movement perfectly suits their arboreal nature. They stun in a display tank. Appropriately sizing the enclosures for juvenile Gargoyle geckos is essential for helping them locate food and regulate their body temperatures effectively. A well-suited habitat ensures the health and well-being of young geckos. 

Gargoyle geckos flourish in temperatures between 75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit, closely resembling their natural habitat conditions. They need UVB exposure and dietary supplementation with D3 to enhance their calcium metabolism and overall well-being. Provide these through a Calcium +D3 supplement.

Handle gargoyle geckos with care. They are agile and may jump when you hold them. Owners create a safe and comfortable interaction with their geckos by understanding their tendencies and behaviour during handling. Once you buy your gecko, allow it to settle into its environment for at least a week. Once they feed well, you can handle them. Baby Gargoyles jump around more than adults.

Handle with care. Never grab a Gargoyle gecko’s tail; they can voluntarily detach it as a defence against predators. Respecting this behaviour ensures the well-being and health of these unique reptiles. Their tails grow back, but this process takes time.
