Welcome to Ryan Turnquist Reptiles.  I am a small private breeder exclusively focusing on crested geckos (Rhacodactylus ciliatus).  I chose to solely focus on crested geckos because of their easy captive care, high breeding rates, unique physique and wide variety of available color morphs, which makes this specie a true joy to keep and breed.  I strive to produce some of the most intense crested gecko color morphs available. Please visit my Breeders page to see current photos of my breeder males and females with information about their origins and colors as well as photos of future breeder holdbacks.

I am very pleased to provide my Crested Gecko Care Sheet, which is possibly one of the most comprehensive crested gecko care sheet on the web.  I incorporated many of my ideas and techniques as well as ideas from many of the top crested gecko breeders to provide an all-encompassing care sheet for any of your crested gecko needs.  If you would like to learn more about my reptile interest; including my timber rattlesnake research and reptile keeper job at the St. Louis Zoo, please view my About Me page.
