Gargoyle Gecko

Hi everyone i am thinking of buy a Gargoyle Gecko this week any insite about them or info thanks.

I moved this thread to the correct section so you may get better responses. Please check the relevance of the section you're posting in the future

I've never owned a garg but understand they're a lot like cresteds. They live at room temperatures, ideally 72-78 but they're okay 65-80. Temps over 80 will stress them and over 85 may harm or kill them so if you don't have decent AC in the summer or live in a place that stays cool they may not be the best choice of pet. They mainly eat a powdered fruit smoothie diet that can be purchased from lots of online retailers, Pangea and Clarks are the two I feed my cresteds. They need a tall cage with lots of hiding places and leaves around. A 12x12x18 is okay for an adult crested but gargs may get bigger. They need to be misted once or twice a day. I think they eat a few more insects than cresteds and do best with crickets or roaches once or twice a week.

Hope you learn enough about them around here and get a great pet!

1st-Thanks for moving this thread,2nd-My is always running at 73-72 because i live in parhump nv and it get to 100-109 in the summer & 79-72 in the winter,3rd-i found 1 on craigslist for $40.00 tell me what you think of it.

That cage setup is not really great for a gargoyle gecko. They are arboreal geckos and enjoy cages that have branches to climb up and lots of plants to hide in. The gecko doesn't look too bad though, and the little jar of diet there is a good brand.

Here's a decent care page that will give you more details on keeping a gargoyle gecko.

Amazon.com : Fluker's Repta Vines-Purple Coleus : Reptile Supplies : Pet Supplies

6 foot length that u can wrap around different lengths of wood wrap it loose so they can hide under the vines or climb on top mine loves them, and the purple adds some color other than the normal green color fake plants.
