Gargoyle Geckos 101 - what’s a gecko?

Gargoyle gecko rhacodactylus auriculatus are medium sized friendly lizards that are great to keep as pets.

• They do well in human interaction similar to hamsters/rats/rabbits, or left alone in their enclosure being a conversation piece of your living room similar to a fish tank.

• Easy to take care of, live 8+ years, very healthy and hardy - with good care adult health issues are exceptionally rare

• Close relatives of crested geckos, chahoua geckos and leachianus geckos - all from rhacodactylus family (sometimes referred to as rhacs) but arguably gargoyles are the brightest and the prettiest ones with most variability

• Easy care means cheap minimum habitat costs, low risk of health issues, and easy maintenance

• Relatively smart compared to other reptiles, once comfortable in their environment they are curious and eager to interact with it

• Harmless - when scared they try to escape rather than show aggression, but in rare cases they do they can barely pierce human skin
