Terms of service

Last updated July 2026

1. Who we are

This site is operated by THEGECKCO (a private breeder), trading as THEGECKCO, a private breeder of Correlophus ciliatus (crested gecko) operating from United States. Contact: drew@thegeckco.com.

2. What you are buying

Each listing is a single, individual live animal — one of one. Once an animal is reserved it is removed from the catalogue and cannot be purchased by anyone else. Photographs and any 360° views on a listing depict that specific animal; where an image is a studio visualisation rather than an unedited photograph, the listing says so and includes the unedited breeder reference photograph alongside it.

Animals are described honestly to the best of our knowledge. Colour and pattern in Correlophus ciliatus (crested gecko) change with age and with the animal's fired-up or fired-down state; we do not guarantee that an animal's appearance will remain identical to its listing photographs as it grows.

3. Eligibility

You must be 18 or older to purchase. You are responsible for confirming that keeping this species is lawful in your city and state before you buy.

4. Prices and payment

All prices are in USD and exclude shipping, which is quoted separately when a delivery date is arranged. Payment is processed by Stripe; we never see or store your full card details. Charges appear on your statement as THEGECKCO.

5. Order process and fulfilment

Purchase reserves the animal. We then contact you by email, normally within one business day, to agree a shipping date with safe weather at both ends. Typical fulfilment is 1–14 days from purchase, scheduled around safe shipping weather. Nothing ships without your confirmation. Full details are in our shipping policy.

6. Live arrival, refunds and cancellations

Animals are covered by a live arrival guarantee, with a two hour claim window and a full refund available any time before shipping is booked. We do not accept returns of live animals. The complete terms are in our live arrival guarantee and refund policy, which forms part of these terms.

7. Animal welfare and buyer responsibility

We provide husbandry guidance in our care guide and answer questions for the life of the animal at no charge. Once an animal has arrived alive and healthy, its ongoing wellbeing depends on husbandry we do not control and cannot warrant.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel any order, before or after payment, where we have reason to believe an animal would not be housed appropriately. Declined orders are refunded in full.

8. Animal records and parentage

Each animal ships with a signed record stating its registry number, morph, and the hatch date and weight taken on the day it leaves. Where an animal came from a pairing we bred, the record names the sire and dam and the listing shows their photographs.

Where we do not hold a parentage record for an animal, we say so rather than estimating one, and the animal is listed on its visible traits alone. Our records are our own, maintained in good faith; they are not certified by any third-party registry, and we make no representation that any animal will produce particular offspring.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any purchase is limited to the amount you paid for the animal concerned. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost breeding potential or projected resale value.

10. Intellectual property

All photographs, video and written content on this site are our property and may not be reproduced or used in listings elsewhere without written permission.

11. Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, United States. We may update them; the version in force at the time of your purchase is the one that applies. Last updated July 2026.
