When I first decided to add a gecko to my collection, I quickly realized that finding the right place to buy one was not as simple as I had imagined. Geckos are fascinating creatures, each with their own unique charm and personality, and finding a healthy, well cared for gecko is essential. Whether you are a seasoned breeder or just starting your journey, knowing where and how to find geckos for sale near you can make all the difference. In this post, I want to share my exper

In the heterozygous form, there’s a consistent pattern dilution that shows up across the board. Animals that should come out with high pattern and high contrast instead hatch with noticeably suppressed pattern, like leucistic is muting the pattern expression. Not in the way phantom is masking or removing pattern color, but more of a diluted pattern. The diluted pattern and translucency likely come from the leucistic allele partially influencing pigment distribution even in th

When we first introduced Margin, we believed it required homozygous Phantom for expression. That assumption held until now. As of Fall 2025, we’ve confirmed that Margin can express in het Phantom animals . Three key examples from our lines prove it: Ultra , a Flame het Phantom female, has shown Margin herself. Linda , offspring from Ultra, a 2022 pinstripe het Phantom, also displays visible Margin markings—further evidence of the trait’s expression outside homozygous Phantom.

Introduction Margin has rapidly captured attention and admiration, particularly following the unveiling of our gecko, Chaos, in late 2022. While this striking characteristic had quietly existed within the hobby for some time, it wasn’t until late 2023 that AC Reptiles officially coined the term “Margin.” This gave the trait a name to match its visual impact. A Brief History of our Margin Project In 2018, we introduced a Lilly White gecko from Lilly Exotics—the original source
