Boutique crested gecko breeder
Raised in the leaves,
bred with care.
Nelberg's Cresties is a small home breeding project focused on healthy, well-handled crested geckos with striking lineage and even better temperaments.
Our story
A small jungle room, a big obsession.
Nelberg's Cresties is a simple, small-scale setup built on doing right by the animals. No big sales pitch, no chasing numbers — just natural homes, proper daily attention, and steady handling to make sure every gecko grows up healthy and confident. Simple as that.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most from first-time crested gecko owners.
Do you ship geckos, and is it safe?
Yes — geckos are shipped live, overnight, in temperature-controlled packaging during safe seasonal windows only. Every shipment comes with a live-arrival guarantee.
Can I put down a deposit to reserve a specific gecko?
Yes. A non-refundable deposit holds a specific animal until it's ready to go home, with the balance due before shipping or pickup.
What comes with a gecko when I bring it home?
Every gecko goes home with a full take-home care packet — feeding schedule, humidity and temperature guide, handling tips, and hatch date/lineage info — plus ongoing support if questions come up later.
How old are the geckos when they're ready to go home?
Hatchlings go to new homes once they've had several confirmed feedings and reached a healthy, stable weight — typically a few weeks to a couple months old.
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes, local pickup can be arranged on request — mention it when you reach out and we'll coordinate a time.
