Capital Geckos

Capital Geckos and the Rhacodactylus Research Initiative in 2019 with the goal of breeding New Caledonia gecko species for the dual purposes of conservation and scientific research. We practice a science-based approach to raising and breeding New Caledonian Geckos - emphasizing health, enrichment, and naturalistic husbandry. Working with: R. auriculatus, R. leachianus, M. chahoua, C. ciliatus, and C. sarasinorum.

All sales are final.

At the moment all transactions are done through PayPal, cash, or venmo. Kindly, please note that all sales are final.

Holds and Payment Plans Geckos are available for purchase by anyone until I have received a deposit or the full payment for said gecko(s). Geckos can be placed on hold for up to 14 days with a 25% non-refundable deposit. The customer must pay the remaining 75% of the balance within 14 days (unless otherwise arranged) or the hold will be forfeited.

Shipping is available throughout the continental United States, Canada, most of Europe, and parts of Asia. Geckos are shipped through FedEx Priority Overnight to arrive the next morning, pricing depends on the size of the box and your distance from our location and ranges from $40 to $100. Geckos can be shipped to arrive Wednesday or Thursday morning. All geckos are shipped in industry-approved insulated boxes with a Cyropak Phase 22 gel packs, 72-hour heat packs, or cool packs as appropriate. I will only ship when temperatures along both ends have a daily high between 55-90F and a daily low above 44F. *I reserve the right to hold geckos if the weather or other events do not allow for safe shipping. During temperature extremes I will only ship to approved FedEx facility hubs near the customer’s location, when picking up your gecko, remember to bring an acceptable form of ID that matches the information that you provided for the shipping label. Customers must be present at the time of delivery or pick up their gecko(s) from the FedEx Hub within an hour of the time it becomes available.* International Buyers I can ship internationally upon your arrangement with a third-party international reptile shipping company (ex: GeckosEtc, Dutch Dragon Import, etc). It is the buyers responsibility to cover all costs of shipping and importing. A fee will also be charged for currency exchange (where applicable).

Live Arrival Guarantee To the best of my knowledge, all geckos are in good health at the time of sale and shipping. I take extreme care to ensure the geckos will arrive healthy and alive, therefore I personally guarantee that the animals will arrive alive at a FedEx shipping hub. In the event that a gecko is dead on arrival (DOA) at my fault alone, I will offer a refund in the form of store credit or a replacement gecko, excluding the cost of shipping. In order to qualify for my live arrival guarantee the following conditions apply: 1) Temperatures on my end or yours must stay between 44 and 91 degrees Fahrenheit. 2) The geckos must be shipped to an approved FedEx Hub rather than a residential address. 3) The package must be delivered on time. 4) You must pick up the animal within one hour of the time-stamped delivery. 5) If the animal is DOA then I must be notified and receive photo proof within one hour of the delivery. *Furthermore, I am not responsible for damage done by “acts of god” such as extreme or unexpected weather events (i.e.: hurricanes, tornados, blizzards).* I cannot control what happens to the geckos once I hand off the package to FedEx, so I do not offer refunds for injury/death resulting from delays in FedEx. Furthermore, I am not responsible for any injuries or illnesses that occur to your gecko once it is in your custody.
