About
With over 35 years of experience in the reptile and exotic pet hobbyist community, I specialize in the selective breeding of high-quality, rare species. My expertise encompasses a diverse array of species, including R. leachianus, R. trachyrhynchus, R. auriculatus, and premium Super Dalmatian Correlophus ciliatus. Additionally, I work extensively with multiple genera of Arachnid-Theraphosidae and am actively involved in breeding Equestris potior and Calotes pethiyagodai.
Beyond breeding, I am deeply passionate about education and outreach, regularly conducting in-depth lectures and school visits to educate the public on reptile husbandry, conservation efforts, and the fascinating biology of exotic species. As a New York State Master Falconer, I also provide specialized lectures and fieldwork experiences to scout troops, schools, and other organizations, sharing unique insights into the world of birds of prey and the ancient art of falconry.
As a proud member of MorphMarket for over five years, I have consistently earned a 5-star rating, along with impeccable reviews from satisfied clients. My commitment to quality care and customer satisfaction is reflected in the relationships I've cultivated over the years. When you choose to work with me, you are guaranteed not only exceptional animals but also a commitment to education, conservation, and a passion for the exotic pet community.

Store Policy
Payment Methods:
We accept PayPal, Venmo, and all major payment options.
Age Requirement:
All buyers must be at least 18 years of age to purchase.
Shipping Information:
All shipments are sent via Priority Overnight through Reptiles2You, with delivery by Federal Express. Shipping costs range from $35 to $65 to the lower 48 states, with potential additional fees for adult specimens. Shipping will only occur once weather conditions are deemed suitable for both departure and arrival locations. We reserve the right to delay shipments during periods of inclement weather or during holiday seasons. All shipments are directed to your local FedEx Hub, which is non-negotiable. The recipient must be available to accept the delivery within one hour of the animal's arrival at the Hub. If the recipient is not available within this window, the purchase will not be guaranteed. Immediate communication upon receipt of your animal is required to confirm safe delivery.
Guarantee:
We guarantee that all animals are healthy, properly sexed, and genetically identified unless stated otherwise. Any concerns regarding an animal must be reported within 12 hours of pick-up. Issues reported after 24 hours will be addressed at our discretion. All animals are photographed and appropriately marked prior to shipment. We guarantee that your animal will arrive alive and healthy; however, in the rare case of any issue, sufficient proof of the condition (such as video, photo, or other forms of documentation) is required for consideration. We will not issue any refunds or replacements without proof provided within the designated timeframe. Please note, we are not responsible for delays or mishandling by the carrier that result in DOA animals.
Acclimation & Care:
Shipping can be stressful for animals. It is essential that our detailed husbandry and care sheets are followed to ensure proper acclimation, especially for baby/hatchling geckos. For species such as Leachianus, Gargoyle, and Crested geckos, improper housing—such as using tanks or large enclosures not specified in our care guidelines—can be harmful and even fatal. The Barking Gecko assumes no responsibility for health issues resulting from failure to follow the provided care instructions. Non-compliance with care guidelines may result in the death of the animal.
Local Delivery:
We offer local delivery (personally handled by us) to nearby areas, which is highly recommended for the best experience.
Payment Plans:
Payment plans may be available on a case-by-case basis. A 50% deposit is required to secure the animal, with further terms to be discussed upon inquiry.
Sales Policy:
All sales are final. Deposits are non-refundable.
