Gecko Adoption Process

Initial Contact

During this initial contact, we discuss what you’re looking for and pick which animal you’d like to adopt! Most of our availables are posted on our website and the Facebook albums.  


Remember from the start that you are not in this alone; we are here to help you and to make this adoption successful!

Getting Set Up

Based on that animal’s size and needs, I will help you get your enclosure set up and get it approved by our board. We also discuss what food your gecko will eat, and we suggest that you find a source for purchase and make sure that it works. 


See shopping list recommendations.  (Coming Soon)

Adoption Contract

At this time, you will fill out the adoption contract that the coordinator will send to you.  

Payment

After you return the contract, you’ll pay the adoption fee using the payment method listed on our form. Gecko adoption fees are $50.  

Pickup and Follow-up

Once all is approved, we’ll coordinate a pickup time and location, and then we’ll be able to release the animal to you! 


You’ll just need a carrier! We recommend locking tubs with holes drilled in and request that they be lined with paper towels.


Once your new family member is home, we do want to hear from you on how everything is going, are there any issues, do you have questions, or just positive updates.  We consider you part of the family, and we love getting updates!

Leopard Gecko

 

Pepper is a leopard gecko who will need an experienced and patient owner. They’re a great eater who enjoys a variety of bugs in their buggie bowl and never turn down a meal.


Pepper can be a bit timid and may act fearful at times, so it’s best to let them step onto your hand rather than trying to pick them up.

Pepper is a leopard gecko who will need an experienced and patient owner. They’re a great eater who enjoys a variety of bugs in their buggie bowl and never turn down a meal.


Pepper can be a bit timid and may act fearful at times, so it’s best to let them step onto your hand rather than trying to pick them up. They spend much of their time in their humid hide but become quite active at night, exploring and roaming around their enclosure.

Since their foster switched their setup to a bioactive enclosure with substrate, 


Pepper has been noticeably happier and more comfortable—so maintaining a similar environment will be important for their continued well-being.


Pepper would do best in a calm home without children, with confident adult owners who can give them the time, patience, and care they need to build trust and feel secure. 


With the right environment and gentle handling, Pepper will continue to thrive and grow into a confident companion.

Vixen is a beautiful leopard gecko with a zest for life and a love for the fast lane! She’s a fantastic eater who eagerly hunts down her bugs the moment they’re introduced into her enclosure—mealtime is one of her favorite activities.


Earlier this year, Vixen dropped her tail, but it has healed and regrown beautifully. She spends most of her time hanging out in her enclosure, observing her surroundings and staying active.


Vixen hasn’t been handled for long periods yet, as she’s incredibly quick and can jump out of your hands in a flash. Because of this, it’s important to always have a secure grip and stay close to a surface in case she decides to make a break for it. With time, consistency, and gentle handling, she’ll continue to learn that being held is safe and positive.


This stunning gecko would make a wonderful companion for an experienced owner who’s patient and eager to build a trusting bond and lasting relationship with their pet.

Cheddar is a truly unique leopard gecko with beautiful soft gray and peach coloring and the most captivating eyes. Her stunning looks are matched by a spunky, curious personality that makes her an absolute joy to have around.


This lively girl loves to explore and is always interested in what’s happening around her. She does well with handling but is a busy body who prefers shorter, more frequent sessions so she can get back to her adventures. Cheddar would thrive in an enclosure of at least 40 gallons, giving her plenty of space to roam, climb, and explore.


She’s a fantastic eater who especially loves Dubia roaches and crickets, so be sure to have plenty of buggies ready to keep her happy and full. Because of her energetic personality and preference for shorter handling sessions, Cheddar would do best in a home with older, respectful children who can be patient and gentle.


With her striking appearance and playful nature, Cheddar is ready to find her forever home—could it be with you?

   Blue is a gorgeous leopard gecko with a soft yellow coloration with beautiful black markings. This tiny little velociraptor lives up to her namesake as she can be skittish and defensive due to lack of handling in previous homes. 


Although she tries to scare you off with swishing her tail and some hissing she has not attempted to bite. We know in the right home with a patient and dedicated owner that this little dino can be tamed! 


She is showing interest in short periods of interaction and will come out on her own to let you know she’d like to visit. 


While on the smaller side she is a great eater and loves Dubia roaches and the occasional silkworm treat! 


Blue is looking for a quiet home with an owner who will allow her to take her time coming out of her shell. 


A 40 gallon front opening enclosure with several hides, logs, fake plant clutter that feels like her very own Jurassic Park world is what will make her feel the most secure and happy. 


If you’re willing to take the time to bond then Blue is ready to give you her heart!

She is a professional napper and always finds the coziest spot in the enclosure to sleep in. 


She seems sensitive to bright light and would prefer a shaded enclosure with lots of clutter and a lower-output UVB so she’s not always squinting. 


She does however still enjoy a good basking spot to keep her belly nice and warm. Dandelion is a hearty eater and loves Dubia roaches and silkworms. 


Dandelion is looking for a family that will dote on her and provide her with the life she needs to thrive. If you’ve been looking for a lady like that then let Dandelion make your wish come true!

He may be fast, but he truly does enjoy being handled, and his curious nature keeps him constantly wanting to explore. 


Sprite is still on the thin side, but when it comes to eating, he is a natural. Whether that means tong feeding or eating from a bowl, Sprite is ready to chow down! Dubia Roaches, Silkworms, and Black Soldier Fly Larvae are his top favorites. 


Sprite will need a dedicated owner who is committed to the proper care and nutrition to ensure he gets to a nice, healthy weight. 


Sprite is an active guy who would love a large enclosure (ideally a 40-gallon tank) where he can run, play, explore, and just have the best time. 


If you’re looking for a Leo that could use a little TLC but still has a fun, quirky personality, then Sprite is your guy!

She is still a bit skittish when initially being handled but after a minute or two she calms down and does really well. She even enjoys the occasional chin scratching. 


Lemon is most active at night and you can see her true personality come out when lights go out. Lemon is a great eater and doesn’t mind tong feeding or eating from a bowl. 


As long as her favorite Dubia roaches and silkworms are involved she’s a happy gal. 


She is looking for a family that wants a calm, go with the flow, relaxed type of pet. 


Don’t let this beautiful girl pass you by; reach out today!

 Odysseus is a gorgeous chonky crestie looking for a forever home. 


While he does well for short periods of handling he still has those typical crestie behaviors, meaning he can be quite jumpy at times. He has beautiful coloration and the cutest little frog butt from his dropped tail; but it doesn’t slow him down one bit! 


Odysseus will need a minimum 18x18x24 enclosure with lots of plant coverage and horizontal ledges for resting! 


He is currently used to eating Pangea Crested Gecko Food. 


Odysseus would do best in a family that is looking for a pet they can look at more than being constantly handled. If you’re looking for some handsome eye candy then he is your guy!

  Houdini is a gorgeous sandy color with some highlights and lowlights making the most gorgeous coloration! 


He made his greatest escape when he was rescued from a not so nice pet store. But now he’s looking for a forever family where he can truly thrive and not just survive. 


Houdini is still learning to trust and does better with short handling sessions in quiet areas. The best way to help build his confidence is during feeding time, he loves an occasional mealworm treat or his insect and fig Pangea crested gecko diet! 


Houdini is looking for a family who will give him an enclosure of luxury, vs the cramped subpar conditions he was used to prior to us. 


A nice big enclosure with lots of climbing branches, plant clutter, and a horizontal ledge or two and he’d be the happiest guy. 


Help this little guy realize what a loving family can be like!
