Orange Blotched/Striped Gargoyle Gecko — a gargoyle gecko from our Geeky Gecko Creations lineage program, where animals are bred and graded for stripe structure, blotch density and red saturation. Gargoyles are the crested gecko’s stockier New Caledonian cousin: same easy room-temperature care, bolder red pigment, a regenerating tail, and a calm, deliberate demeanour many keepers rate as the best handling gecko there is.

Care Basics
Crestie-style care with sturdier furniture: thick horizontal cork, complete gecko diet two to three evenings weekly, plus dusted insects — gargoyles take livefood more eagerly than cresties. Red intensifies over the first 18–24 months, so lineage-graded juveniles typically exceed their own baby photos. House strictly solo; gargoyles nip cage-mates’ tails.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the pattern grades in the title mean?
Stripe/blotch structure and colour coverage assessed against the parents’ adult expression — the honest predictor of how this animal will finish.
Gargoyle or crested?
Identical care; gargoyles are calmer in hand and redder, cresties lighter and jumpier. Many keepers end up with both.
