Chahoua Geckos for Sale
Mniarogekko chahoua
The Chahoua gecko stands out among New Caledonian species for its intelligence and calm handling demeanor. Native to both the mainland and the islands surrounding New Caledonia, these medium sized geckos reach 8 to 10 inches in length and exhibit a wide range of colors and patterns that range from olive greens, pinks, orange, red to striking high white colorations. Their prehensile tails give them exceptional climbing ability, and unlike crested geckos, Chahoua rarely drop their tails. We've spent years developing lineages focused on high color and high white animals with vibrant pattern expression, producing some of the most striking Chahoua available in the hobby.
Every Chahoua gecko we sell is captive bred right here in our North Carolina facility. These animals hatch in optimal conditions, feed readily on both prepared diets and insects, and arrive to you established and healthy. You get our health guarantee, detailed care protocols specific to the species, and direct access to our breeding team for ongoing support as your gecko grows.

Chahoua Gecko Overview
Chahoua geckos are among the easiest New Caledonian species to maintain, thriving at normal room temperatures without special heating equipment. Adults do well in 18x18x24 inch vertical enclosures filled with branches and cork bark for climbing. Their calm nature and willingness to eat prepared gecko diets make them excellent choices for keepers new to the New Caledonian gecko group. Pine Island locality animals tend to have larger builds with more color variation while Mainland animals are typically smaller with different pattern characteristics.

About Chahoua Geckos
Adult Chahoua geckos reach 8 to 10 inches total length, including their long prehensile tail which makes up roughly half their total size. They reach adult size around 18 months with proper feeding and care.
Yes, Chahoua geckos make excellent choices for keepers new to reptiles. They thrive at room temperature requiring no special heating, readily eat crickets and prepared powder diets mixed with water, and have great personalities. Their care requirements are straightforward and forgiving compared to many other gecko species. They rarely drop their tails even when handled, which makes them less stressful for new keepers to work with.
Pine Island locality Chahoua tend toward larger, more robust body types with different pattern characteristics compared to Mainland animals. There is more color and pattern variation with Pine Island chahoua over mainlands. Both have the same care requirements and temperaments, so the choice comes down to aesthetic preference. We work only with Pine Island localities and can help you select your gecko based on the look you're after.
UVB lighting is optional for Chahoua geckos but can be beneficial, particularly for breeding females. We use low output UVB (5.0 bulbs) on some of our breeding groups and have found it supports overall health and calcium metabolism. However, many keepers successfully maintain Chahoua long term without UVB by providing proper supplementation with their diet.
We feed our adult Chahoua prepared gecko diet three times per week, offering live insects once weekly. Juveniles eat more frequently, typically every other day while growing. Fresh prepared diet should be replaced every 24 hours if uneaten to prevent spoilage. Feeding crickets will allow your gecko to grow at a faster rate.
