I really don't think it's that big of a problem. If you're concerned just think about how many Bearded Dragons and Carpet Pythons (or anything else from Australia) are being bred in the US and how big of a gene pool there could possibly be. I think the Crested Gecko gene pool is much larger than anything from Australia, so as long as breeders don't get too carried away with selective breeding, there shouldn't be much to worry about.



As far as buying from different breeders goes, I think it depends on where those breeders got their stock. I for one, have Cresteds from probably a dozen different breeders and I'm always looking for new stock to add to my groups.





Thanks,

Anthony





>>Im thinking of getting some Crested gecko's and I want to get them from all over from different breeders. Before I do this Im curious as to how many Crested Gecko's were imported to bring us where we are today ? I never see wild animals offered for sale so I doubt there is much fresh genetics being pulled into the gene pool ??? Any help would be appreciated.
