Hi, I live in Upstate NY and I am looking to get a Yellow and a Red Crested Gecko that are about 8 weeks old. They want either between $75.00 and $99.00 dollars for each of them depending on which ones I pick. Does this sound like a good price for Crested Geckos?

That sounds about average lately for crested, especially fancy ones like that....though i could be wrong. At any rate, I paid $60 for mine at a show in syracuse NY over the summer, rather small show too. She is a very dark brown with an orange fire pattern, quite pretty, and I was amazed at that price, after hearing what others paid. Guess I got lucky Anyway, I'd say check out a local show if you can find one, there are usually great deals. www.LLLreptile.com has some ok deals too.

Not quite sure how that numerical system works for how many herps you've got, I'm guessing it's for male/female. Bu then somtimes there is a third...hmmm... At any rate, I'm sort of small time compared to some of you:
1 leopard
1 crested

That price depends on how badly you want them. At 8 weeks, you're not even guaranteed the sex of the geckos. I got mine for $65 each. One male fire, and one buckskin female. To be honest with you, I would not pay that for unsexed cresteds, but it's up to you. If the coloring is nice, then go ahead and get them, but if you are looking at price, then check around first.
