Gargoyle Geckos are some of the most exciting reptiles. They have bold colors, fun personalities, and low care needs. This makes them great for both new and seasoned reptile keepers.
At Wilbanks Reptiles, we offer the best selection of Gargoyle Geckos. Each gecko is carefully bred for health, color, and quality. Let’s look at ten facts that make these reptiles so special.
1. Native to New Caledonia
Gargoyle Geckos come from a group of islands near Australia. They live in trees and like cool, damp forests. Their natural home is warm and full of plants.
2. Thick Bodies and Strong Tails
These geckos have thick, soft skin and sturdy builds. Their tails can grow back if lost. That helps them escape danger in the wild.
3. Their Name Fits Their Look
The name “Gargoyle Gecko” comes from the bumpy ridges on the head. These raised features give the gecko a look that’s similar to old stone statues. It’s a unique trait that really makes this species stand out.
4. Active at Night
Gargoyle Geckos come out at night and sleep during the day. That means they’re perfect for people who want to watch their pets after work or school.
5. No Sticky Feet, But Great Climbers
Unlike other geckos, Gargoyles don’t have sticky pads. But their claws help them climb very well. They need tall tanks with branches and plants.
6. Long Lives in Captivity
With the right care, Gargoyle Geckos can live 15 to 20 years. That’s a big commitment, but it also means you get a long-term companion. A proper setup and balanced diet go a long way in keeping your gecko healthy and thriving.
7. They Don’t Need Bugs Daily
You don’t have to feed them live bugs every day. They eat fruit-based diets made for geckos. These foods are clean, easy, and healthy.
8. Many Color Options Available
Wilbanks Reptiles has one of the widest ranges of gargoyle geckos for sale. You’ll find striped, blotched, and reticulated types in bold orange, red, and white colors. Each gecko is labeled by morph and price, and all are 2024 hatchlings.

9. Easy to Handle
Gargoyle Geckos have a calm nature and are easy to handle. They move slowly and don’t startle easily, unlike some other geckos.
That’s one reason I recommend these reptiles for kids or first-time owners. Just be sure to handle your gecko close to the ground and give it a little time to feel safe.
10. So Many Gargoyle Gecko Morphs
The color and pattern of a gecko is called its morph. Morphs come from careful breeding. Wilbanks Reptiles offers some of the best gargoyle gecko morphs in the hobby.
