About
I am a small-scale collector and breeder in the Boston area specializing in crested geckos and thumbnail dart frogs. I take pride in the beautiful morphs and good health of my geckos. All geckos listed for sale live in my home, and I personally spend time with each gecko and closely monitor their health, growth rate, habits, and individual personality quirks, as well as socializing them to be comfortable with human handling in a gradual and low-stress way. I love and admire my own pet geckos and enjoy seeing my for-sale geckos go off to great homes!
Store Policy
Shipping policies:
Your gecko can be shipped via FedEx overnight shipping to any of the 48 contiguous states. Shipments will go out Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday for receipt on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, respectively. Shipments can be sent to a home or office address where you or another adult will be present to accept and sign for the package, or they can be sent to a FedEx Ship Center that accepts live animals, where you must pick it up the same day as its arrival. Normally in that case the package will arrive at the ship center early in the morning, so you will have all day to pick it up. (If you are thinking about this option, I do recommend it. It is easier for the gecko, more flexible for you, and removes the risk of delivery error.) Whoever picks up or receives the gecko must be an adult (age 18 or over). I can make an exception for a 16-17 year old if you confirm that with me in advance. Shipments to home or office addresses will only be sent if the weather at the destination and here in Boston is between 35-75 degrees. Shipments to a FedEx center may still be allowed if the temperature is a little bit outside that range. I reserve the right to refuse to ship at any time if I feel that shipping would pose a risk to the gecko.
Shipping costs come straight from ShipYourReptiles and depend mostly on distance. Most shipments cost between $50-65, but a shipment to New England might be as low as $35 and a shipment to the west coast might go as high as $70-75. I am happy to send a quote if you send me your zip code.
For those who live in the northeast or are visiting, I am happy to arrange an in-person pickup.
Every one of the geckos I have sold over the years has arrived at its destination healthy and active. That said, just in case I have a live animal arrival guarantee. In order to receive a refund, you must email me photos of the deceased animal within two hours of the package being delivered to your address or picked up from the FedEx Ship Center. This guarantee is void if an adult does not personally sign for the package at the address or if the package is not picked up from the FedEx Ship Center the same day as its arrival. If you have any concerns about the health of the animal on arrival (or at any other time), please contact me so that I can help you give the best possible care to your gecko.
Payment policies:
I can reserve a gecko for up to one week with a nonrefundable 50% deposit. A gecko paid in full can be held for up to two months after purchase to fit your personal schedule, and indefinitely if we are waiting on acceptable weather conditions. If you have a specific timeline you are working with, let me know and I may be able to adjust those limits on a case-by-case basis. If you are reserving a gecko to be shipped later, either for weather or personal reasons, you don't have to pay the shipping fee until a few days before the scheduled ship date. If, after paying in full, you need to cancel your order, I will refund 50% of the purchase price and the entire shipping cost. In the highly unlikely case that I need to cancel the order, you will of course receive a full refund. Discounts are available if you buy more than one animal from my store at the same time.
Additional notes:
I am always happy to consult on how to house and care for my geckos, if you are new to the species. Please ask any questions you might have if you are unsure.
I can check the pores on any unsexed gecko upon request, though I cannot guarantee sex through this method.
