Our Story

Since 2008

Gecko Haven began as a hobby with only a few geckos. With a love of crested geckos and their individuality, colors and morphs led us to our own shop, creating a new morph that became known as the Sable and branching out into keeping many other gecko species.

Gecko Haven is owned by Todd and Cindy McDannell. We are known for our solid reputation in the gecko hobby. We are always here to answer any question you may have, help in setup for a new pet and always being available for after sale care.

A Passion for Possibilities

New Caledonian geckos are at the heart of Gecko Haven, including the Sable morph we helped bring to the hobby. The possiblities are endless with the crested geckos, new morphs appearing each year! It makes every pairing we do exciting and fresh!

We also work with select leopard geckos, cave geckos, binoei, pictus, and tokays, always with the same focus on responsible care and keeper success.

The Gecko Haven Difference

A Community Built on Trust

For 18 years, Gecko Haven has earned the confidence of the gecko community by sharing what we know and standing behind the animals we raise.

Our reptuation is incredibly important to us.


We will provide information and care advice before a new customer even purchases a gecko from us. If a customer is new to geckos, or has a question regarding proper care, diet or housing we are there to offer support. We are confident once you take an animal from us we can provide all of the information you may require.

Gecko Haven started when providing baby food for a crested gecko was pretty much the norm. Learning on what is no longer around, the Pangea Forums. Talking and sharing with other breeders. Learning the morphs, the environment geckos will thrive in and having a true sense of belonging.

“We want every keeper to feel excited, prepared, and supported from day one.”
