I was always wondering why crested geckos are alot more popular than gargoyle geckos. There is both a 1/10 ratio for male to female and female to male, but the wierd thing is that for cresties the 1/10 ratio is in favor of the MALES. Therefor leading me to believe that only one male is inpregnating one female, whils the other 9 sit there with a bad feeling of rejection. As for Gargoyles i believe that the male can inpregniate 9 females (Because of the 1/10 ratio in favour of the females) and therefore having NINE TIMES MORE BABIES eACH CLUTCH!!! So what i am wondering is why are there alot more cresties then gargs, and if it is a possibilitie that some cool colour morphs of cresties got "whiped out" because of this (the male never mating and eventually that ype just dying out)

i agree with rmorse and i also want to add crested breed alot easyer then garg. you can keep more then one crested in a tank where garg. will fight cresteds are more handleable and well chicks love them lol
i dont know what you mean i get about 3 males and 7 females ruffly out of every ten eggs so the ratio isnt that bad where garg. you would get 1 male out of 10 eggs
