Nice thing about gargoyle geckos is that each clutch only consists of two eggs, and there's usually about a month between clutches during laying season. They can produce up to 20 eggs in a year, but it's more realistic to expect 10 or 12. Since the babies come out in a slow trickle rather than all at once, and I only have one pair to breed, I shouldn't have an issue between local classifieds and pet stores. 2 nearby pet stores expressed interest when I mentioned it, and I know of a local breeder who has no problem selling around 120 babies a year mostly through local classifieds. So I don't think rehoming the babies will be an issue. If I need to keep some for a long time, though, they require very little time/space/money commitment to maintain so I'm prepared for that possibility as well.
I certainly wouldn't be prepared to breed snakes or tarantulas, though, that's for sure! As much as I would like to.
