LAC Herps Breeders of high end New Caledonian geckos We are Andrew and Sarah Gilpin of Living Art Creations Herpetoculture ( L.A.C. Herps ).

We keep and breed a variety of geckos, specializing mainly in high end New Caledonian geckos. Our other projects range from Madagascar, Australia, and various other parts of the world. We've been keeping reptiles together since 2002, when Andrew bought Sarah her first crested gecko. This gecko was the first pet reptile she had kept and was the start of it all. We quickly fell in love with the spec

ies and geckos in general. With such an incredible variety of colors, patterns, behavior, and adaptations, it's easy to see why people quickly become addicted to keeping geckos!

At just 6 grams - and already this light? 🤍 Definitely one of the more striking Blue Eyed Lucid offspring that we have here!

Exciting news 💫 We will be releasing the first offspring from this project at Tinley this weekend! There will be a VERY limited quantity. Expect the lower end to start at 6 0 0 and going up from there for the higher end ones 💎 We will be going through the offspring from this project over the next couple of days and choosing a select few that we will bring along with us to Tinley. We hope to see you guys there!

Ripley stopping by to let you know we have a fresh update of Chahoua that is live on the website now! ALL of our larger Chahoua have a mega 💲⬇️ - If you are looking to get into some fantastic lineage (high color and high white) you may want to check them out 🫣 Several of them are close to RTB.

We also added ~20 juveniles to the site last night! 🌟

Tinley pick up is an option! If you plan to be there, there will likely be even more Chahoua on the table 😏 So be sure to come by and check them out! (We will post a map shortly).
