Gecko names can be fun and creative! And when you have as many geckos as I do, thinking up new ones can be a bit of a challenge. My Giant Day Geckos are called Sisu, Tikki and Raya. My Crested Gecko is Stig, and my daughter’s Leopard Gecko is called Jiggle. So quite a range there!
If you’re having trouble finding the perfect one, we’re here to help. Whether you want a human name, or a cute, badass, or cool idea. We have over 300 for you to choose from, along with tips for picking the perfect pet gecko name.
The gecko is an amazing pet that can fit into most lifestyles nicely. They need a tall glass vivarium, and to be kept at the right temperature and humidity. Geckos need to be given regular insects as well as gecko food. But once you’ve got the set up sorted, your new pet will live very happily alongside you. And if you decide to make a bioactive enclosure they are even easy to keep clean. Who wouldn’t want a pet gecko! And a pet this cool names an amazing name.
