A Giant Gecko Worth $19 Millions, a Surprising Business
86Amazing, this word came out from my mouth after read the headline in my local newspaper. There was a teenager found a giant gecko on the border of Nunukan (Kalimantan Island and Malaysia). His name Arbin. With weight around 64 kilograms. Maybe this was usual news, but there is something make me surprised. This giant gecko worth $19 millions. Tribun kaltim newspaper was covering this news. After that many entrepreneur or business owner make a phone call Tribun Kaltim to get information about this gecko. But unfortunately this giant gecko was sold by someone from Indonesia. Arbin said that this gecko brought to China. Although this animal has sold but there are many people still want to buy this gecko with the higher price. They don't get much information from Arbin. Another thing which makes me surprised was there's a man who want to buy this gecko $2,7 millions per ounces. You can calculate how much money he will spend only for a gecko. His name Andi Makkuraga Hidayat. He is gecko entrepreneurs. Almost three years he ran this business. So far the largest gecko which he was bought around five kilograms. Please take a picture below, how big this gecko.
Compare with this gecko
A Surprising Business
This was become great business for the people in my country . They have a new job as a gecko's hunter. But not all the people interested with this animal. People who have passion to get a lot of money and use the good chance. They use their leisure time to hunt the gecko. Most of them who live in the village which there are many trees. And they also hunt this animal in the forest. There are a lot of information which said that this animal worth thousands until hundred thousands dollar. During this time, the voice of gecko is often used to predict the weather. but recently the demand for these reptiles are higher than before. I get some information about the list of the price of gecko:
- 2.5 ounce (7875 grams,) worth $550
- 3 ounce - 3,6 ounce (85.05 grams - 102,06 grams) worth $5500
- 3.7 ounce - 3.9 ounce (104,89 grams - 110.5 grams) worth $8300
- above 4 ounce (113.4 grams) worth $11000 per ounce
Many people hunt geckos because it has become one of Indonesia's export goods. Each day about 3,000 geckos were exported. There is a farm which produce geckos. This farm located in Probolinggo, East Java.Beside as a farm, the owner of this place also as an exporter. To meets the demand from China, Japan and some countries in Southeast Asia. These geckos have dried in this farm. However, not all geckos can be exported. Gecko which weight above 3.5 ounces.
The owner of the farm is Didik. His father also has gecko breeding business. He always exported geckos in China, Taiwan, even Japan. He got $33000 every month, with 200 employees. He starts his business from 1990's. Right now he became gecko entrepreneur.
Gecko's Farm
Gecko's for healing AIDS/HIV
AIDS/HIV is deadly disease.Because theres is no medicine to cure AIDS/HIV. I found an information that gecko can be cure AIDS/HIV. If it's true, I think this is a wonders of medicine world. But unfortunately I can't get good reference about that. Many people said that gecko as an alternative solution for AIDS/HIV. But the geckos has meet the limited weight about 4 ounce. the oldest of gecko and the largest one has much more enzyme. I also heard that gecko have booked by Japan and Taiwan people as a medium of AIDS drug research.
Many people believe that gecko also as an alternative for itching and asthma medication. It has believed for a long time ago. I hope it really can be cure an AIDS/HIV. I wish the best for good purpose, especially for mankind...amen.

Hi, Pras. Ayo berburu Tokek! LOL. This news indeed really amazing. Imagine, what Arbin will do with those much of money. I hope he will be wise with it.
By the way, I never thought Gecko can be that big,and it is heavier than me! It more look like Crocodile than Gecko, and the colour is unusual.
Well, I guess this news will cause the Gecko hunters start make a crowd in my Island, and I guess it is good because it make East Borneo become more interesting place to visit. \^o^/
prasetio! I had two Leopard Geckos for my kids. We raised them from babies. We had them for a year! I got so sick of having to go buy crickets to feed them, that I GAVE then away! Well, atleast they are still alive! This story is shocking to me! Never knew about this industry....thanks for the insight. Best, G
Geckos are such cute creatures. I never knew of their other benefits. Thank you for the information!
I didn't know they grew that big. Now that would be something if the Gecko could cure HIV. Thank You Prasetio
Is the photo of the large Gecko real?? That's huge! With that much money involved I can imagine why people would be hunting them. If they really do offer a cure for HIV/AIDS then I'm sure the price will go even higher. Interesing info.
Hi, I knew that Geckos grew quite large, but as mulberry said, is that the real one? wow, I also did not know about the fact that it would be that expensive. thanks for the info. Nell
A small green gecko became the mascot and spokesperson for an insurance company because the insurance company is named Geico. Gecko! Geico! A very clever marketing strategy that helps people to remember the name of Geico.
I had no idea that geckos grew as big as the one in your first photo . Would hate to come across that one in a dark alley.
Thanks, prasetio, for an enlightening hub.
My brother Prasetio...
Interesting hub! Though you wouldn´t believe me if I told you I cried when I saw this. God gave us the beauty of this creature and man uses it to make money out of it? It is truly sad what man can do for money! Mankind could benefit from constructive things, not killing them...
However, this is a good article, brother so I rated it up!
Warmest regards and infinite heavenly blessings,
Al
Thank you for your wonderful, informative hub but I also straightaway thought of the survival of this poor animal with such a high price on its head.
Great job. I really liked this hub.
This was facinating. I feel sad yet good about this all.I think breeding gecko like you said and gecko farms is a good idea and leave rest alone to live naturally.
It that gecko for real. I haven't seen one like that before. I am amazed at the net worth.
Interesting Hub - The gecko in the picture has a very unusual Colour, very nice.
It's nice to know they can help cure people - I wonder how though. As usual, a lovely, unique Hub. Thanks.
Interesting stuff, prasetio. Very informative.
Although I don't like the thought of exploiting the geckos. Even a gecko farm doesn't sound too appealing to me. With everything that happens in slaughterhouses to farm animals, I wouldn't like the thought of having another animal being part of a similar process. We probably won't be eating geckos at McDonald's anytime soon, but your Hub illustrates some of the uses of geckos as objects, and not living beings.
I guess this was a bit of a rant, not at all aimed at you prasetio. I understand the efforts required to make money and if geckos help in that aspect, then it's good in a way. I just wish there were better alternatives.
Dang - I'm in the wrong business! Thumbs up!
No kidding - seems like everything beautiful we have to try and destroy it somehow by being human! I don't like them exploiting them either even if it is a reptile...good information though.
very interesting
Prasetio, WOW this is fascinating, unbelievable and remarkable all at the same time. You've really delivered on another very memorable review. A Gecko Worth 19 millions is a surprise business indeed. THANKS for such an impressive story. Peace :)
wow what great pictures and I never thought I would see a Gecko worth 19 million $$$ but to get one that size must be very unusual and rare..
Thank You for this useful information about the Gecko. I never knew anything about the Gecko's
Thank you for sharing this information. I was really amazed at how big the Gecko was. It's also amazing at the price it sold for.
Prasetio, I didn't know Geckos got so large either and I was amazed that they were so expensive. Interesting article.
I inherited a Leopard Gecko and have found it to much more than something that just hides under a rock all day long. I was surprised at how sociable it was and how it likes being handled. The kids are fascinated watching it hunt. Mind you, we have it in a huge vivarium. hen the crickets start up, it's just like being on vacation!
geeez... is that a big lizard !!!!
Hi prasetio
I had no idea that geckos were such big business. It makes me sad to see the gecko farm and so many dead ones. If they do hold the key to the cure for HIV/Aids hopefully this can be done without cruelty.
Amber
Very informative! Thanks for this............... but one question; what is the man in the orange shirt holding? I'm not really sure I want to know!
Kaie
Nice Prasetio! Unusual and pretty! Thank you Sir!
Nice information
Thanks
expensive hehe, but a beautiful creature, Maita
I dont think geckos can cure AIDS! Sorry
Thanks for the info. Prastio30...
I'm from the Philippines and the trade is thriving... Hoping that it would cure AIDS.
Thanks again
actually, i doubt about it.
because some of the articles i googling about is mixed by english n indonesian. beside that, i have read an article which said alligator's blood had been proven to killing hiv.
i have thought that the scenario was planned to raise the price of gecko, but maybe i am wrong too..
can u give me some proof or articles about it, because i got gecko's offer.
anyway, thanks for the hub to give me the information
I would like to have this opporturnity for those who interested to buy the gecko. I have ready stocks from Malaysia.
You said the pic was taken by Arbin himself then when ppl frm the news wanted to see the real thing he claimed it had been sold to another guy... then the whole thing is on one man's words. There was no real witnesses except for the ppl around him... With the technology nows a day... it hards to believe it... any professional news writer will digs for proof before reporting such a thing. Except of coz if the writer is responsible 4 a gossip column... I stand to be corrected!
Very cute hub, I love Gecko's. We do have similar ones here, they only come out at night, little white geckos with spots, they are pretty small, I capture the ones that get stuck in my house, and let them go free, they are soooo cute!!
I do not think they should kill them for medicine though, to stop Aids/HIV is educating people on how not to get it in the first place, one of the most prominent ways people get it is being abused by older men, and Africa and many places have "cures" so they can keep raping children after they contract it, but it's best to educate people on the truth of it, and not to mistreat the ones who get it.
Hi Mas Pras,
Thanks unt infonya. Beberapa tetangga saya sudah jual gecko, ada yg seharga 3juta dan up. Tadinya aku pikir kok orang gila beli gecko begitu mahal? ternyata rumournya memang bisa nyebuhin AIDS. Cuma ada info gak jenis gecko yg bagaimana yg laku untuk pengobatan ini? di gudang saya banyak gecko, bbrp karyawan mulai mencari2 gecko ini.
Apakah gecko dg kulit yg ada bintik merahnya atau bagaimana? kadang gecko ada yg hijau atau sedikit abu abu.
Such a cute creature.If it can be used to cure HIV/AIDS it can stop the misery of millions of children with the deadly disease.but more research must be done.If this is true effort must be made to breed this lovely creature so that people wont hunt them to extinction.Once scientist know the secret chemical in the gecko then similar chemical can be produced in large scale using the knowledge of genetic engineerig.This way the disease is treated while the killing can stop
Hello Prasetio30,
I must say your hubpage is very interesting and enlightening. And the informations about geckos being a possibility to cure aids/hiv and other serious ailments is certain a very encouraging news indeed. I am just curious though, where to find buyers for all those giant geckos? A family friends had several over-grown geckos living in their yards for so many years from just babies to adults now. They feed them with insects/grasshopers/flies etc.. but it is now not easy to maintain as they are always hungry all the time! So, maybe this is a good way to let go some of them..? If you know of anyone who is interested to purchase, please let me know...thank you. And keep up the good work
woow it really amazing... in Malaysia this species also were hunting for money... I am very interset to know more about the farming geckos in Indonesia... now i;m conducting study about the animals uses for traditional medicine.. this is really impressive... tq for the info...
One more... study done showed this species worked to cure hyperglycemia (diabetic)... another study done by researchers from china powder from drying geckos and fresh meat of geckos worked as antitumor... it's really worked... :)but this research still conducting to test on human....
Amazing hub and very useful information in this hub page community
Would mind to inform them, one geckos weight lkg cost RM500Juta [Indonesian Rupiah, 2859.182245]
Please count by yourself .. one geckos only ...
not need to work so hard and kill many geckos ..
-------------------------------------------------------
[hunt geckos & Each day about 3,000 geckos were exported. Gecko which weight above 3.5 ounces. He got $33000 every month, with 200 employees. ]
---------------------------------------------------
He need to hunt and exported 3,000 geckos everyday and he just got $33,000 and need to pay 200 employees salary from this $33,000? Are you sure?
3000 geckos x 30 days = 90,000 geckos per month and only got $33,000 per month and need to pay salary and wages for 200 employees???
This article makes me sad - a gecko that looks exactly like this has lived in my garage for the last five years and he's a really cool character with his own personality. He has come to trust my wife and I and our cats have learned to leave him alone in peace. Pity humans are so insensitive to the suffering they cause in the world. It will be the end of us eventually, no doubt. By the way - that photo was doctored in Photoshop. It's not all about money is it? Peace
Very interesting hub, I liked it.
Great Hub. i think it’s amazing that the best medical industries in the world are not able to fix what nature is able to fix. i think there is allot we can learn from animals, nature is an amazing thing. thanks for the info.
This craze has also reached Malaysia by now.
Somebody is spreading this strange story to make some money! Are people selling expensive small gekko's (for breeding)? What's the trick?
Yes, Chinese will buy all sorts of wildlife for their traditional medicine. They won't spend millions on a Gekko though, specially if you can just breed them or catch them.
I'm sorry the world has become like this, but cheats with promise of big money can make people believe everything.
I'm pretty sure GEICO is one of the buyer =)
looks like tokay geckos which can be very aggressive more power to the hunters because they can take a finger off.
wow! 19 million in what currency? simply incredible. I wonder where this gecko used to hide. Surely not on the walls, maybe a ditch, heavy grass.
To me it is really sad that people hunt animals they do not eat, do not need for clothing or anything but just for decoration or put in a zoo. If they give it a large ecosystem it is best. Thanks
Interesting hub.Since 2009, North Borneo also seen the increasing numbers of Gecko hunters for this purpose. It is sad to see this exotic animal being sacrificed for medication.Can't wait to hear the announcement that "HIV/AIDS is now can be cured!". Thanks for sharing this.
Gecko is specially good for plantation program and cycle of wildlife. The roaring from Gecko can hear about 1km and more. The benefit from the voice of gecko is give right frequencies for thick forest for breathing. Wherever forest in this world have Gecko YES that forest is well grow and fast. God create Gecko is for that purpose. For HIV/AIDS laboratory result usually is take 6 month to prove it. Now is rumors to make price like sky rocket.
I have 100 tokek gekko between 2 until 3 ons weigth, if somebody need this animal, please contact me on telp. 6285648024699 or fajar_akhmad_fauzie47@yahoo.co.id

Hi, i chanced upon this blog while researching about Philippine geckos. FYI to all Filipinos, it is ILLEGAL to trade wildlife (such as geckos), in accordance with RA 9147. I know that geckos are abundant there and big bucks can be made through trade. However you should keep in mind that excessive collection and trade coupled with habitat destruction may deciminate these beautiful creatures. It will in turn disturb the intricate balance of nature. There are no scientific studies proving the veracity of the claims of many that geckos have medicinal value.
i have gecko's in my aquarium not just big one is,about only half a gram the one is more than 1 gram, im shock i see 64 kilos gecko,damn now i know why many interested in gecko's,to cure HIV/aids..
im in Davao city,if u want to see my gecko's just email me in brandontaguiam@y.c,i have many kinds of geckos i collective ..
Hi prasetio30! I have nothing against you writing about the trade. My post is just a reminder to some that trade of wildlife is illegal in the Philippines. It may be possible that some are unaware of such statute. :-)

Well i think killing geckos for aids will be a big mistakes... If it is true that that it can cure aids, more unfaithful and morality will be done. Sacrificing one life just because of unfaithful thing is bad... Geckos has their own role for the ecosystem flow and now that they are hunted down, well i can say goodluck to are nature.

HI .prasetio ,,,, well could u tell the market of gecko now ....
Gecko issue in the Philippines, especially in Davao City, is almost as quiet as a silent night. Though i don't know exactly if the "gecko craze" is really over. In my point of view, the issue is dying the natural way. My friends are no longer that interested with regards to gecko. I just wonder if there are really people who will buy gecko with an incredible amount...!? I mean, if geckos are really worth millions because it can save lives!? ^_^
hi everybody:-)this is a very interesting topic because b4 i dont believe it myself but there came the time when i encountered the deal for gecko... it is true! i myself is a gecko hunter and i have contacts from provinces like nueve ecija and davao, cotabato, libungan, upi, pigcawayan.. most of those places are in the rural areas.. im looking for a direct buyer who wants to deal with me personally. i have buyers but mostly are middle men and i dont like dealing with them.
to the author of this hub.. congrats.. those info that you posted above are true if u ask me.
and to Vera T Ching.. i would like to have a chat with you. to buyers out there who is still looking for geckos' just give me a call +639275209089 so we could talk.
yes you are correct about the philippine law on "export-import" very strict BUT buyers here have a special permit to allow them to do freely on doing bussiness in regrds to geckos.. thats proven! money talks most of the time especially when the amount mounts to millions of pesos.
prasetio can you refer me to a buyer that you know?
i see.. though it maybe hard trusting someone.. but those buyers that you know dont have the plans to go here in the philippines where geckos are easy to get.. big geckos! and capturing of this animal are not that rampant yet. on the other hand if you know some who wants to do it just send me a message here.. theres my contact #. i want to transact directly is my main reason.. its the security of the bussiness itself.
so it is really true that their using it for diagnosing aids, ha? very very interesting.. its good thats theres already a cure on the process:-)
hello there!!
i'm from Philippines..I came across this hubpage because a friend of mine is doing a research if there's really a "trading of geckos" that exists in our country.He asked me to take a look at the news/article that you've posted. It's really amazing that gecko can grow as much as that!! here in our country,the said to be gecko traders are looking for 300grams and above.I don't even had an experience to see a gecko weighing 300 grams..lot of people here now are hunting geckos but can't find the desired weight of 300grams and above.Especially that hunting geckos is forbidden/illegal in our government.But many people wants to have easy money.It's a black market I suppose..good for your country that its legal.
so how is it true that geckos cure... how is it taken...
anyway almost everyone knows the market value of the poor little fellows known to devour little insects such as DENGUE carrying mosquitoes... (philippines) much better if
we conserve this creatures...

All the geckos I've seen were green. Since we see the lovable gecko that is a mascot for an insurance company all the time Americans may be upset to see so many dead ones.
I heard about the earthquake this morning. My thoughts are with the victims and I hope it isn't too bad.
