“Unfortunately, we’ve had TWO new Caledonian geckos go missing from the store. Let’s make this very clear — these were HIGH-DOLLAR animals, not “cheap pets,” and their disappearance is being taken extremely seriously.

We have cameras throughout the store, and footage WILL be reviewed. We are giving whoever took them until Wednesday to return them safely and anonymously — no questions asked.

After Wednesday, we will move forward with reviewing footage and pressing charges. Based on the value of these geckos, this would be considered FELONY theft.

We work too hard to bring in rare, quality animals for this kind of behavior to be ignored. Make the smart choice and bring them back before this goes further.”

If you know anything about the stolen geckos, please contact the Bama Reptile Ranch in Northport.
