I would highly suggest that you never ever buy anything off the internet, especially animals!  When you buy things off the internet you never know for sure what you are getting and if it is worth the money that you paid for it. I would suggest finding an exotic pets store where they specialize in the unique pets or a breeder. Pet stores generally have the common pets and know very little specific details about anything beyond the common. When you go to a pet store they have so many different animals and run of the mill employees, not experts. If you go to an exotic pet store or see a breeder you can actually hold, touch and look at the one that you will take home. You can check it for problems and ask tons of questions and get real answers. When you order online, who knows what will be in the box when you receive it in the mail. It could be dead, it could be diseased, it could be the wrong animal. I would HIGHLY suggest a breeder or a pet shop that specializes in the breed you are looking for.  Good luck!

I have geckos all over my yard and they even come in my house sometimes. I'll be happy to scoop you up a couple and send them to you for half the price...

Just kidding - I like watching them watch me through the windows at night. I can't imagine sending a gecko in the mail would be safe. They are very fragile.  Your best bet is to buy one in person or at a reptile show. Don't purchase pets through the mail!
