What Are the Specifications of the Tiger Crested Gecko Cr-2313?

When you’re investing in a reptile, you need the full picture. I’ve handled hundreds of geckos, and the details matter. Here are the complete specs for this animal, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

What Makes This Tiger Crested Gecko Stand Out?

Not all tiger morphs are created equal. After years of evaluating animals, I look for specific traits that signal quality and good genetics. This Cr-2313 specimen has them.

• Proven Pangea Reptile Bloodline: This isn’t some random import. It’s bred by Pangea Reptile, a name known for consistent, high-quality animals with strong genetics. That lineage matters for health, temperament, and the integrity of the morph.
• Defined, High-Contrast Banding: The “tiger” pattern is all about bold, dark bands across a lighter background. This gecko’s pattern is clean and well-defined, not muddy or washed out. The contrast is what you’re paying for in this morph.
• Established Adult Male: You’re getting a settled-in adult. He’s past the fragile juvenile stage, is reliably feeding, and his colors and pattern are fully developed. What you see is what you get, with no guesswork on how he’ll turn out.
• Health-Vetted: Every animal that comes through our shop in Knoxville gets a hands-on check. This means we confirm it’s eating, has a good body weight, clear eyes, and is free of any obvious issues before it’s ever listed.

Who Should Consider This Tiger Crested Gecko Cr-2313?

This is a specific animal for a specific keeper. Based on my experience, here’s who will get the most out of him.

Buy it if:

• You’re a reptile keeper who values known genetics and wants an animal from a reputable breeder like Pangea Reptile.
• You’re specifically looking to add the tiger morph to your collection and want an example with strong, clear patterning.
• You prefer an adult animal where the appearance and temperament are already established.
• You’re looking for a potential breeder male with quality lineage to pair with compatible females.

Skip it if:

• You’re a first-time reptile owner on a tight budget. The tiger morph commands a premium. For a beginner, a standard or other affordable morph might be a better starting point.
• You’re looking for a female gecko. This is a confirmed male. Check our Adult Crested Geckos section for available females.
• You want a juvenile to watch grow. This guy is already grown into his looks.

What Are the Advantages and Drawbacks?

Let’s be straight about what you’re getting. Here’s my take, after inspecting this gecko firsthand.

Pros:

• ✅ Reputable Breeder Origin: Pangea Reptile lineage adds value and assurance.
• ✅ Excellent Morph Expression: The tiger banding is distinct and high-contrast.
• ✅ Adult Stability: No surprises; he’s a proven, healthy eater.
• ✅ Breeding Potential: As a quality male from good lines, he has solid breeding value.
• ✅ Health-Checked: Vetted by our team before sale.

Cons:

• ❌ Premium Price: The tiger morph and Pangea genetics come at a higher cost than a pet-store gecko.
• ❌ Male-Only: If you were set on a female, this isn’t it. You’ll need to look at our other listings.
• ❌ Adult Size: Some keepers enjoy the journey of raising a hatchling. That phase is past for this animal.

How Does It Compare to Other Options?

To understand value, you have to compare. Here’s how this Tiger Crested Gecko stacks up against two common market tiers.

Feature	Tiger Crested Gecko Cr-2313 (This Gecko)	Budget Pet-Store Gecko (~$60)	High-End Morph from Specialized Breeder ($300+)
Lineage & Breeder	Known (Pangea Reptile)	Typically Unknown/Unproven	Well-Known, Often with Detailed Genetics
Morph Quality & Assurance	Strong, defined tiger pattern	Often “normal” or poorly expressed morph	Exceptional, hand-selected for pattern intensity
Health Vetting	Pre-sale check by Crestedgeckos	Variable, often minimal	Usually extensive by the breeder
Shipping	Same-day, professional reptile shipping	Rarely offered; usually in-store only	Similar professional shipping
Price Point	$275.00	$60 – $80	$300 – $500+
Best For	Keeper wanting a quality, patterned morph from a good breeder without the absolute top-tier price.	First-time owner on a strict budget where the “morph” is less important than the pet.	Serious collector or breeder seeking the very best examples for projects.

This Cr-2313 sits in a smart middle ground. You’re paying for a real, well-bred tiger morph, not a generic animal. You’re not paying the ultra-premium for extreme-line breeding, but you’re getting a solid, attractive gecko from a respected source.
