*7/11/23 – Shipping is now closed for Summer.  We will likely resume shipping in Sept/Oct, depending on weather.  Pick up is still available for Los Angeles locals – please send a message through the contact form on this site to arrange a local pick up.  Because our Summer heat can last well into the winter cold of other states, we do not offer summer holds (since the potential exists that our shipping window may be closed to some areas for the better part of a year).  Check out on the website will be closed for live animal sales for the moment just to ensure no accidental purchases are made from out of state.  LA locals, just message us about any gecko you are interested in and we will either temporarily open online check out or arrange for payment off-site.  Thanks.

Duckweed is a very bold and curious little gecko.  He’s always ready to explore and is quick to hop on a finger so he can be taken out for adventure.  Though he may be tiny in size, his disposition makes him quite easy to handle.  Duckweed is a champion eater too.  He’s happily gobbled up any flavor of Pangea and Black Panther Zoological diets, as well as Leapin Leachie’s Rhaco Risotto…and he’s a very active bug hunter, enthusiastically chasing down crickets, mini mealworms, lobster roach nymphs…really anything we offer.

Shipping for Geckos is always FREE within the US lower 48 when held at a FedEx Hub for pickup.  Shipping to your door may require an additional fee.  See our Terms section for full details.  Local pick up in Los Angeles is always welcome.  If you  would like to pick your gecko up in person, please contact us to schedule a time and date.

Shipping is open now, and temperatures on our end should remain within the safe range through June.  Remember that temperatures must be in the safe range (40°- 85° F) at the stop over and destination locations as well, so if your buns are toasting, chances are we won’t be able to ship your gecko out to you right away.  Summers can get very hot here, so its possible we’ll be closing sometime in June and won’t reopen til next Autumn.  Sometimes our temperatures allow us to do some limited shipping throughout the summer months.  Each year we just have to play it by ear.  So please keep that in mind when ordering, and understand that if you are not able to receive your package right away, our summer closures may result in your animal being held here until its safe to ship in the Autumn months.

LIVE ANIMALS ARE NOT SHIPPED AUTOMATICALLY.  After your purchase, a representative from The Gecko Geek will reach out to you via the contact info you provide at checkout to discuss available ship dates and coordinate your shipment.  This contact will take place within 24hrs of receiving your order, so if you’ve not heard from us after 24hrs, please send us a message through the Contact section on this site as we may not have accurate contact information for you.  We do not issue full refunds for animals that cannot ship due to weather, and any order cancelled for this reason will be subject to a 25% cancellation fee.  If you’d like to check if immediate shipping is available to your area prior to purchase or if you have any questions regarding the shipping process or any of our available animals, please send us a message via the Contact section of this site.  For faster service, please provide your zip code with your inquiry so we can review weather in your area and along the shipping route prior to responding.  Thank you!

NOTE: Prior to check out, your cart may show a flat rate ship fee and/or estimated sales tax, however those should adjust to zero* once an address is entered. (*CA residents subject to sales tax on all purchases)
