Gargoyle Geckos (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) are native to southern New Caledonia, an island chain east of Australia. They are named for the bumps on their head which can appear to look like horns or ears. Hardy and easy to care for, Gargoyle Geckos have become very successful in captivity and are widely available today.

Gargoyle geckos make great pets. They are easy to care for and almost exclusively eat an inexpensive powdered diet that's mixed with water. They are also easy to handle, and do not require a large or expensive setup.
