Hi I'm Rylee

Hi y’all I’m Rylee - I would call myself a seasoned crested gecko owner and a first year breeder

I’ve got 27 geckos (and possibly counting) 13 adults and 14 little super duper rockets produced by yours truly :rofl:





(I’ve got a pixel 7 pro some of my photos don’t like to upload because they’re to hefty with pixels so fingers crossed my photos show up okay!!)

My father always told me “Rylee if you love what you do for a living, you’ll never work a day in your life”

So I said

Dad Im going to breed geckos for a living.

That was at 12 geckos :laughing:

Anyways, I’m pretty sure I’ll have a zoo in 10 years from now… I really would love to be able to breed more than just crested geckos. Ackie monitors and leachianus geckos are high up on my list of cold blooded friends to look at! One day… :smiley:

I have a Pixel 7 Pro! My main priority ( although not the most important priority :joy: ) when buying a smart phone is a really good camera. I bought the first Google pixel that came out loved the camera on that one. So five years and 3 pretty glamorous iPhone after I got my Pixel 7 pro. I would love to get into professional photography one day but as of right now I like to think my Pixel captures the details I look for :grin:




All four photos were taken with my Pixel and Miss Houdini had to get some spotlight too!!

Currently I haveeee (adults only in this list!)

A bicolor orange girl
A patternless orange girl with a whole whopping TWO dal spots
:joy:
A harlequin orange girl
A tricolor pinstripe girl (not a full grown adult but she’s growing like a weed!)
A Red dalmatian girl with black and olive spots :slight_smile:
Not a breeder but I also have an older male named Harley (10 years old) who has some scaring around his crown near his eyes possibly from being put with another male or a really dominant mad female. Anywho he’s living it up by himself in a bioactive!!

I have my younger males

A blushing Lilly white male who was an absolute stunner this season with the most funky kiddos

A extreme yellow harlequin male who is still a “young buck” with extreme temper issues :confused: it’s cool he’s gonna be paired with my high sass female next season they’ll be good for each other I don’t know about the kiddos though…

I also have my older male Hogan who is pretty much white with some light gray colors fires up almost black! He is from altitude exotics, surprisingly he’s about 7 years old and this is his first season the person I got him from didn’t end up using him as a breeder. I just had one of his kiddos hatch out the other day!! Fingers crossed his kiddo gets his disposition!!!
