Our Story
Featured is Desdemona, the first Phantom eyed gargoyle (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) that gave the name for The Phantom Gecko.
It all started when...
My name is WIlliam Bryant and I am the owner here at The Phantom Gecko. I first got hooked on the hobby as a young boy after owning three leopard geckos. I’ve always loved reptiles and caring for animals. In 2013 I decided it was time to get another reptile. I did countless hours of research and finally settled on getting a pair of crested geckos with the intent to breed them in the future. For some reason they captured my heart. A few weeks later after visiting the Chattanooga Repticon, I had picked out my first pair. I named them Estelle and The Dude.
The Phantom Gecko, as a business really never took flight until I found my first Phantom Eyed gecko and in that instant the business was born. I wanted to figure out this mysterious gene that occurs randomly in gargoyles and be known for my producing them. My first phantom eyed gargoyle was named Desdemona. One of my biggest goals in being a part of this beautiful hobby is to spread knowledge and love of these incredible creatures. As of this point I have 8 breeding phantom eyed gargoyles and around 30 or so phantom related offspring. Reptiles are my passion, but geckos are my love. Here are a few additional photos of phantoms and what they are. I’ll be building a more in depth page in coming months. Thanks for looking!
