About Us
Tangerine Gecko is a family project run with help from my kids. Originally from Ohio, I received my B.S. and M.S. in Zoology from the University of Rhode Island. I also completed several years of graduate work at the University of Hawaii before moving to California when my husband began his job here. Currently, I am an adjunct biology instructor at a community college here in central California. We got started with leopard geckos when my son requested one for his 6th birthday. While shopping online for his first geckos, I was blown away by all the new morphs that have popped up since I had my first leopard gecko in college. Back then, I had a wonderful variety of reptiles, but had to find homes for them when I moved to Hawaii. I chose a pair of hypo tangerines for my son's birthday and they were the proud parents of our first six hatchlings in 2005! Since acquiring that first pair of leopard geckos, we've added a variety of beautiful species to our breeding program.
