what age to sell?

[crazytanak]

Ok so i was wondering what age/gram size you let your hatchlings get before selling them?
Do you wait for the gecko to be bigger if they are going to be shipped?
Does the selling size change based on the experience level of the new owner?
How do you know what price to put on them? I know it depends on morph, but what ranges (ball park) do you charge for each morph
Do you change the price based on age or gender?

I am leaning toward waiting for them to be 8-10 grams before selling, but i know lots of people sell them much smaller. If i get some other ranges maybe i will feel more comfortable about selling them younger, Its just they are my little babies and im scared to let them go too young

No hard rules on this one. Cresteds are resilient little guys. I have sold hatchlings as young as a month old. I've never shipped, but I would think the larger and more robust the gecko the easier to ship. 5-10g is a nice size for selling I think.

ok thanks, im so nervous that they would end up in the hands of someone who has no business owning a pet. I was thinking at 10 grams they are large enough to be on coconut fiber substrate without too many issues, and that is where a lot of people would get impatient on i think. Of course im not sure I will be able to give all the little ones a cage large enough for them to be happy in at that size
