I just want to thank Wally for taking time out of his travels from Illinois to Wisconsin from a show to meet with me and deliver a gecko that I purchased from another breeder. He did not have to do it but being Wally, he did. This was probably 2 years ago and I apologize for not writing this sooner, but I never forgot and I appreciate what he did for me. Every time I see him at a show, whether it be SEWERFEST or NARBC he always says hello and we talk about our animals.
I also purchased a male Enigma from him in 2010 as a juvenile and he turned out to be a beautiful problem free gecko. I have nothing but great experiences with Wally and Supremegecko and hope to continue to see him at shows and enjoy viewing his awesome geckos. If I ever decide to buy a Crested Gecko, it will be from him. Again, thank you Wally.

What a wonderful couple to do business with! I ordered my leopard gecko and immediately got an email letting me know what the shipping plans would be. Even when the mail ran behind with the delivery, Wally and Nanette put me at ease by finding out exactly where my gecko was and when she would be arriving to me! She arrived and I was amazed at how much more vibrant she was in person. And I couldn't have asked for a more docile and sweet gecko! Thank you Supreme Gecko!

I ordered a crested gecko and when the delivery date came I was so excited I waited all day for the little guy. It was super fast shipping!! When I received my crested gecko he jumped right out of the container and it took me a minute to catch him. He is really healthy and in great condition. I had emailed Wally with several questions and he responded fast and thoroughly answered all of them. I am very impressed with his customer service and I will definately reccomend him to anyone looking for a crested gecko. :)

Hi, my name is Jeremy Browning of out of this world exotics i ahve had alot of experience with reptiles not with leopard geckos though and actually i got my first as a NORMAL juvie from him. It was a fairly inexpensive animal, when i took it home however it ahd a minor health problem. i emailed Wally i and never so fast have i seen someone respond. If he was just in it for money he wouldent respond as it was just a 15$ leo but he responded very quickly with advice and eve offered to replace it , However the issue went away (im guessing it had some thing wrong with the care of it as it was with me as im new to leos) so it was great to see someone who cares

Before ever even buying a gecko from Wally, he has given us tons of advice on louping, feeding, breeding, etc. He has a wealth of knowledge that he is happy to share with others. We were very excited to add our first Supreme Gecko to the crew in October after pre-ordering her for NARBC pikcup. She is absolutely beautiful and we cannot wait to see what comes of her next year. Chris (Wally's son) showed me a gargoyle that day... having never liked gargoyles, I was hesitant to even look, but he was adorable. I came back later that day and bought him.
The customer experience with Supreme Gecko cannot be compared others, they easily the competition. The geckos are well cared for and stunning. If you don't have a Supreme Gecko in your collection, you need to!

The first reptile we got from Wally was a crested gecko...upon taking it home, on the first day, my daughter scared him and he lost his tail. I emailed Wally frantic, and he assured me he would be fine and proceeded to calm me and really give me support that I didn't expect from a stranger. Next thing I knew, my two "male" leopard geckos laid eggs...again I turned to Wally, and again he gave me great advise. Then I had a leopard gecko egg that wouldn't hatch, I decided to rip it out of it's egg (turned out well thankfully), and again I turned to Wally. Then I had a friends gecko that wasn't eating, again I turned to Wally.
See the pattern here? Any reptile question I've ever had, I've turned to Wally and he has NEVER let me down...he always responds so quickly, and with such a caring nature.
I REALLY, REALLY appreciate all the help and advise you have given me over the years, Wally! You are not someone who does this for money, you care about these reptiles more than anyone else I have ever seen at these Reptile Shows.
Keep up the great work, Wally! I'm sure I'll be emailing you soon for more advise!!

When I first went to reptile Wally and Supreme Gecko looked like just another vender but I was totally wrong after buying a couple leopard geckos from wally I got some crested from other people and Wally has been more helpful than anyone to me in helping me. He responds faster and more in depth than the people I brought these from. I recomend Supreme to anyone interested in a gecko and/or information about them.
Thanks so much Wally

Wally,
I love the gecko I chose from you. As you know, she is a gargoyle gecko named Roxanne. She is doing great, it's only been 4 days and she is eating her food. I plan on giving her some crickets pretty soon. Roxanne is very friendly for a new gecko. She chirps alot for some reason, but I think it is pretty cool. I look forward to taking care of her and I will continue to purchase gecko food from you. You have helped me out a great deal by answering all my questions and for that I am grateful. Go Wally and go Supreme Gecko!

Wally,
From the very beginning, you have been more than willing to answer all of our questions, either in person or by directing us to your educational online videos......

We would like for you, and all who assist you at Supreme Gecko, to know that your dedication to the industry, to your animals, and to your customers is oustanding and very much appreciated.
Definitely, the go to place for all our gecko needs.
Thanks so much.

It is such a great pleasure to meet someone like Wally. He is the most helpful person
i have dealt with in crested geckos. He never hesitates to help and always responds to any questions in a very timely manne. The quality and health of his animals is like non I've ever seen. His reds are the most beautiful out of any I have seen available. His prices for his animals are very reasonable. I have boughten numerous animals from Wally in the past and I am more than pleased with the color size and health of all the animals. I am looking forward to getting more of his beautiful cresteds in the very near future, and if your looking for amazing crested geckos you should definately contact Wally. Thank you Wally for the amazing animals I got from you

We have two daughters and Wally is the King in their eyes! We started out with our gecko collection from one of those "pet" stores! Unaware as most are, RE: how poorly the animals are treated. We were lucky and have an awesome leopard gecko which is doing great, but our other geckos have been hand selected from Wally's incredible collection. We are going to need food again soon and that will be a long night since it is like a field trip every time we go to Wally's!! He is so knowledgeable and helpful, I really can't say enough! We have three crested and a gargoyle from him. When our leopard is old enough to breed we will be seeking his help selecting the "right" mate! If you are new to geckos or just need someone to bounce something off Wally is your guy. We will be a customer for as long as he has geckos!!!!

Wally has to be one of the nicest guys in the business. He is always willing to answer any question no matter how small (I have already sent him over 25 emails and he has answered every single one). I received a gecko from him about a month and a half ago and she is amazing. not only is she beautiful she is healthy. I have never seen an animal eat likes she does. she has already put on more than 14g in the short time I have had her and she has shed twice. with each shed she gets brighter and brighter. YOU SIMPLY CAN'T BEAT WALLY'S PRICE FOR THE QUALITY OF ANIMAL AND SERVICE YOU WILL RECEIVE! If you are thinking about buying a gecko buy one from Wally.

I have to put Wally at the top of my list of Great people.
It started when I rescued a normal Leo from being abandon in a empty house. I had no idea how to care for it and knew almost nothing about geckos in general. While searching the internet I came across Supreme Geckos and took a chance to e-mail him with some questions to my surprise he answered the very next morning, He was great with helping me understand the world of geckos and over the next 3-4 months I e-mailed him at least 2-3 times a week with questions and concerns and he always took the time to answer me and make sure I understood what was going on. He never once got aggravated with my questions or how many times I e-mailed him. He was so helpful that I named the first one I rescued Wally jr. after Mr.Kern. I fell in love with geckos and now have 4 total 1 I bought from Wally a Red Stripe the price was as reasonable as I could hope for and he actually shipped it to me at a cost that was way less than what the actual shipping was and never once asked for me to pay the difference. The leo arrived in great shape, healthy and has turned into a beautiful animal. I am looking to get another female and will only be getting it from Wally as I know he puts his heart into his pets and will always be around to give any help he can. I have also bought supplies from him all arriving in just a few days as promised. He has been a great person and although I have never met him in person I consider him a friend and will recommend him to anybody looking for leos.
Thanks again Wally for all you have done for me.

Wally Kern of SupremeGecko totally rocks! I havent gotten any animals from Wally ("dying" for one of his Gargoyles) but he has unselfishly helped me with a couple animals I have rescued. One is what turned out to be a wonderful female Leopard, and the other is a crippled Crestie. Oh, And a beardie that was perplexing her caretaker. Wally never has too much going on that he cant help..even tho I know he is a busy person, as most people are these days.

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Wally on only one occasion, but would not hesitate to purchase from him again if the opportunity presented itself. Wally has been a stand up guy from the start, absolutely no misrepresentation of animals, with topnotch quality and care. He has even contacted me a few times since the purchase to make sure that everything is still going okay, and to make sure I didn't have any questions or concerns. Wally is the kind of individual who helps keep the good name in this hobby, and obviously cares about quality, health, and wellbeing of his animals, and the satisfaction of his customers, not just making a quick buck like so many others.

I've met Wally many times at different shows and have vended near him. He's a class act for sure, a fun guy, and does his absolute best to ensure the quality of his animals.
Wally is the quintessential BOI Good Guy.

I recently did a trade with Wally at the past Tinley Park NARBC show, and he was a pleasure to deal with. The animals I recieved were in tip-top shape and look great
Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again, good guy!!

I have purchased many animals from Wally, and he has been nothing but helpful and caring. I have just sold the last of the babies of the season from the female leopard geckos I acquired from Wally. They sold out within a week! It just goes to show the quality of animal you can expect.
I also purchased a Red Bull baby from Wally and have nothing but complements from all who have seen him. I can't wait to start this breeding season so I can pass on those beautiful genes.
Whenever I am considering beginning a new breeding project I contact Wally to get information about the species. He is always helpful and full of information.
Living in Ohio, Wally is always meticulous about his shipping to me and has resolved any and all carrier issues we have had.
Supreme Gecko says it all in the name. You can expect the best from this experienced breeder.

Doing business with Supreme Gecko is the kind of experience that keeps this hobby fun. We (Molly and I) purchased a Crested Gecko to add to our herp collection in the spring of 07. Not only was the animal an impressive addition that developed into one of Molly's favorites, but Wally impressed us both with his willingness to provide prompt and thorough replies to our correspondence regarding animal care. Since then we have had many conversations with Wally, in email and in person, and have had the opportunity to see a variety of supreme examples of Geckos, Chameleons, and most recently Hognose snakes. Keep up the good work Supreme Gecko!

I am proud to say that Wally is one of my vendor`s here in Wisconsin at the W.I.R.E. reptile expo. I have had the pleasure of knowing Wally, wife, and two sons for some time now. They a class act. I have also made some purchases from him. He takes the time to help anyone with questions. I have never had a compliant during, or after my show about Wally. I would recommend him to anyone!

I bought one beautiful pinstripe crested from Wally a few months ago. What a great animal she is! Wally has been very kind and extremely professional and helpful. I would definitely buy from him again. I've found Wally to be sincere and caring.

So many times we take good experiences for granted and only post positive things when somebody questions us. I have known and worked with Wally from www.supremegecko.com for years and he is A+ in my book.
It started off when I had some really bad housing/room mate situations and I needed to get rid of my geckos quickly. He offered to gecko-sit them for an undetermined amount of time (ended up being 3 or 4 months). This was an amazing favor he did for me, and because of him I was able to continue with my hobby (new place of residence of course).
It didn't stop there though, he has continuously reached out his hand and helped me throughout the years, and I cannot say enough on his behalf. There are very few people that I would put my name/reputation on the line for, but he is one of those people. I have no problem referring people to him (sometimes turning them away from my own table at shows), and I won't hesitate when somebody asks about him or his animals.
He has superior animals for a superior price, but his customer service goes way beyond that. If you're looking for rhacs, leos, day geckos, or viper geckos contact him and rest assured that your order will be taken care of now and in the future.

Our family recently purchased 2 crested geckos from Wally at Supreme Gecko. We already have a couple snakes, and a turtle, but these were our first geckos. He was so helpful, and really took the time to answer all of our questions. You could tell he was very passionate about the animals, and that he really enjoys talking about them. Since we brought our new pets home I have e-mailed him several times with questions, and he has always responded quickly, and seems genuinely happy to help me out. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in purchasing a new friend. We are really enjoying our new family members, and are very confident we made the right choice in deciding on the cresteds. Thanks again Wally, and you may be seeing us again. Now my sister wants one!
