![]() Because of this, Leopard geckos that have recessive traits are generally more expensive. The harder the morph is to produce, the more expensive they are. Some morphs are much harder to breed for than others, resulting in different prices. ![]() They started their bloodline with a pair of black pearls and sold the morphs for $3,000 per gecko! One of the most expensive morphs ever sold was the black pearl morph bred by The Urban Gecko. There are over 50 different morph species. Morph is a word used to describe Leopard Geckos with specific colors, patterns, or sizes. The biggest determining factor in a leopard gecko’s price is what morph it is. Many factors affect the price of a leopard gecko.īreeder, bloodline and morph have the biggest impact.Īge, state and size can also impact price. You can easily find an inexpensive pet, likewise, you can also spend hundreds of dollars on a breeding pair of morphs. One nice thing about leopard geckos is that you can really spend as much or as little as you want. If you are buying from a local pet store, PetSmart or Petco you should not be paying more than $50. However, the price of a pet leopard gecko is typically $30 to $75. You can easily buy one for as little as $15, or as much as $3,000. If you have a leopard gecko I’d love to hear how you house him and supplement his food, and I’d love to know of any leopard gecko resources that you trust.Īlthough I’ve done the research before, now I realize that there is so much conflicting information about their care and requirements that I don’t know what to believe.Leopard geckos have a wide price range. So that’s the story of Tiger, our new leopard gecko. ![]() He’s also used to being handled, although we haven’t handled him much since we only got him two days ago. I read that you could put a paper towel tube in the cage for geckos to hide in, and after I did that Tiger moved down into it. He stayed there so long that I was wondering if he was stuck □. Tiger settled happily into his new home – one of the chameleon’s old baby cages, and climbed right up into the top right corner of the cage. Jeff said “I was thinking Tiger,” so Tiger it is. On the way home I jokingly said “I think we should name him Panther.” You know, because he’s a leopard gecko. I do have to say that we left Petco without a new leopard gecko, and then before we were halfway home we turned around and went back to get the leopard gecko, a hide, and water and food bowls. We asked if the leopard gecko was still available, and we asked about the adoption process – you just had to donate some money to the Petco Foundation – in our case it was $7.00. Jeff and I had researched leopard geckos and crested geckos a while ago when we were considering one, so I knew that we could provide the gecko with what it needed. I am one of those people, although we did have mealworms in the fridge for a few months, they are now in a dorm fridge we got at a yard sale. I have to admit that I was sad to see the results of something I had written about so recently, but at the same time I was glad that the gecko’s former owners realized that they should let someone else take care of him when they realized that they couldn’t, instead of neglecting him and not providing him with enough food.Īlthough geckos can eat mealworms, there haven’t been any mealworms in Petco in several months due to the mealworm’s slow breeding season – and even if there were some available there are people who love reptiles, but don’t want worms in their refrigerator. The unsexed gecko had been given to Petco for adoption because it was “too far to drive to Fargo to get crickets for him.” On Saturday I was reminded of how important it was to know where you’re going to get your reptile’s food from after I saw the most adorable leopard gecko at Petco. Remember a few weeks ago when I asked What makes a good reptile owner?
