African Fat Tail Gecko - 041416 - male

Nice male Fat Tail

At Gecko Daddy we have a strong belief that as pet owners, we have the responsibility to care for our pets.

Pet Owner’s Oath
When I purchase an animal, I become responsible for its care. I am responsible to learn how to properly provide for its needs: its habitat, its diet, and its health. My animal wants to live and I want it to live. I will do all in my power to ensure that my animal has a long, healthy, and happy life. I am ready for this responsibility.

Purchasing an Animal From GeckoDaddy

When you decide which animal(s) you would like to purchase from Gecko Daddy, use the online shopping system to complete your purchase with credit card or PayPal or e-mail us at geckodaddy@gmail.com. Just list the id’s of the animal(s) you would like to purchase and we will reply with a detailed receipt. We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, cashier’s checks and USPS money orders. We will make arrangements for shipping after purchase checks have cleared.

Shipping a Live Animal

A shipping fee of $35.00 (1-6 animals) will be added to your purchase. Geckos and frogs are shipped using UPS Next Day Air. Shipping days are M, T, or W as weather permits. We will take every precaution to make sure our animals arrive happy and healthy. Therefore, we will not ship animals in conditions that are not suitable for safe arrival (below 40 or above 94 degrees). We will hold animals as long as is necessary until weather permits safe shipping. Someone must be able to receive and sign for the animal on the specified arrival date or we will not ship.

In order to have a full shipping guarantee, you must be available to receive the package at the time of the delivery. If the package is left at your door we will not guarantee live arrival. If you accept the package at the time of delivery and the animal is not alive, we require that you call or email us within 1 hour. We may request that the gecko is shipped back to us before a refund is given. The buyer will pay shipping on replacement reptiles.

As of 2022, it is our preference to ship to a UPS Store or Customer Center for pick up. We will identify the closest options for you based upon your address and confirm your availability to do so. This reduces risk to the animals as they spend less time in delivery vehicles and there is less chance of a missed delivery. Some locations may charge a $5 pick up fee when you arrive to pick up your package.

Please see our International Shipping page for information about shipping our geckos internationally.

GeckoDaddy Guarantee

Here is what we can Guarantee: we can guarantee that our geckos and frogs are happy, healthy, and feeding well at the time of purchase. We can guarantee live arrival. We can guarantee our animals are honestly represented in photos. We can guarantee that all other info presented on our site is accurate. We can guarantee the sex of the animal only when marked male or female and not when marked as temperature sexed. If you have any questions about any of our animals, please email us and we will be happy to help in any way we can.

Here’s what we cannot guarantee: many animals change in appearance as they mature, therefore we cannot guarantee the final appearance of the animal you purchase (color or pattern). We cannot guarantee the personality either, although many are handled as they are cared for. Lastly, we cannot guarantee fertility or lifespan.

All animals for sale are produced by Gecko Daddy unless otherwise stated.
