Ziggy the Gecko her geckos are amazing I agree with that part but I believe everybody’s gecko is amazing but I see what you’re saying that was a dare move to make I’m laughing 😂
For people wanting to know. Hatchling cresties do move fast and jump quite a bit but after a few months they usually calm down. I would handle mine while sitting on my bed, so if she would jump she would have a soft landing and couldn't go far
Our girl raises her back leg before pooping, like a boy dog. I laugh every time, but I love that she warns us!! Ps. Love the baby yoda crush going on there😍
I have just gotten my granddaughters leopard gekco when her mom wasnt caring for him. Thank you so much for all the info I had no idea where to even begin. "Spot" has gained weight and now comes when I speak to him. You are great!!
That's so awesome! My son got a baby crestie from his science teacher.... i was clueless, Leopard Gecko's videos are the best! So much useful information!! Our girl is thriving. Glad to hear you are helping Spot live his best gecko life!
I love your Crestie, it’s so beautiful!!! And your Leo’s, I love how they can close their eyes, smile, yawn, it’s all so cute! They are like little angels that bless us each day🙃
@꧁Rainbowwing꧂ oh sorry, I don’t think I explained myself that well😅 By “it” I was referring to their awesome traits, not the pet itself, srry if I had you confused!
I got my crestie 3 years and 10 months ago on Christmas day. She was 2 weeks old at the time. It took a while for her to get used to handling, with about 15 min of handling per day, after a week of her getting used to her new home. Now she is amazing, will sit on you hand or shoulder until you put her back in her tank. Doesnt poop on me either, she only did it once.
My little girl Neera is about 7 months and she is so sweet. She'll sit on my finger and wrap her tail around another and just chill with me and it makes my heart flutter
Dear Leopard Gecko, you are the best person for keeping pets and giving advice ever! You give great information on how to care for leopard geckos, crested geckos etc. I love your cute accent , and you have wonderful videos! I now have a leopard gecko myself and am getting a crested gecko. Thank you for your videos! Please read!
I just got my baby Icarus. 3 month old juvie white lily tricolor and I love him more than I do myself. He has been amazing so far he is really chill for a juvenile and he eats like a champ. I've been researching cresties and how to get one for 5 months in total before I got him I pretty much won the lottery because he was surprisingly cheap, healthy, and started eating shortly after I got him.
Awesome Rebecca! I was pretty happy when I saw this video come up on my subscription feed. I experience a cuteness overload when Miss Lyra joins you for an upload. Thank you for the Drogo appearance too. 🤗
I think you're psychic, I've been watching and rewatching all your crested gecko videos ready for my new gecko friend, and then this video comes out the day the enclosure and kit arrive! 😊
Hello! I have a Leopard gecko too and your tips on how to care for your leopard geckos and im actually doing pretty good! I have a 4-5 month leopard gecko named snipes and he seems to like the new environment i have put in the terrarium! So thanks for the Advice and you do you!😁
I hatched my Cresty from an egg (my friend is a breeder and gave me a good setup) also I go to his place every second afternoon to check on the new guys and feed them while he is working and from what I can tell they still have the same personality as babies but there always more jumpy and energetic. So some babies are fairly calm and they grow up to be super calm and some are super energetic and grow up to be really energetic haha
Hey, as for baby crested geckos, most are jumpy and fast and can run up your arm in a second, some are calm, and some are pretty much un-handleable because of how crazy they are, especially if it’s during the night. Unfortunately I found that out the hard way with my 2 month old crestie who was the third option. I almost lost him several times as he used to jump off me within a few seconds and sprint as fast as he could away and up the wall if possible. Up until he was about 6 months old I could only handle him in the day when he was sleepier, and even then it was pretty rare because he got very stressed by it. Generally as they turn into juveniles they become much better, as did mine, I can now hold him no worries at 11 months old. Oh and Rebecca, I don’t think the pooping is that common, mine has never done it, and a friend of mine who owns 8 geckos only had it happen with one of them.
my new friend scared the crap out of me the other day, he jumped and poorly miscalculated it and made a loud thump when he landed. he’s fine, and he just crawled away and acted like nothing had ever happened 😸
I got my hatchling 19/02/21 Named Dakohta no clue as of gender But they are deffo skittish and flighty like the leopard geckos. They are adorable as well
My littlest does not greet me the other two do and food is a great way to bond I know you mentioned all this so I’m just agreeing with you I rescued one of them I took straight to the hospital so to be very careful and know what you’re getting I knew and researched about stuck shed but it is hard to see in person I hope this comes out because I have to talk in my pad right now and I hope this helps somebody thank you much love stay safe🦎🦎💞💞
I have a crested gecko named Rigatoni, he is baby boi and I kid you not he is the dumbest thing. Every surface he comes into contact with his first instinct is to try to consume it, even himself
I got my first leopard gecko,and my first reptile today. He /she (to young to tell ) is super cute and appears healthy . For now I'm calling it a male,and his name is Leonardo 🦎👍. Thank you so much for all the info you've given me ,and advice . I can't wait to see what his personality is like ,and am looking forward to spending time and taming him. By the way ,love your leos ,especially Diego . Tell them all I say hi!
when my crestie was a baby he was sooo speedy and jumped everywhere but after about a year he calmed down and stayed in place for a little while. he still jumps around but definitely not as much.
Kijjiji and Facebook market place were my options and there is some great buys. Be picky and but high quality name brand products. I got a 60$ piece of cork for 10$. Large exo Terra's terrariums and uvb fixtures. Lots of families failed with their pets or scaling down and just want to get rid of the stuff.
Keep in mind to install a emergancy fund before getting a gecko, because you do NOT want to get into a situation where they need a vet and you can´t afford it.
It depends where you get it really. Like some places I've got it from have it pre-priced, some do it by weight. Get a big piece that doesn't weigh much - perfect! :')
Dear Rebecca, Hey check out rough or smooth green snakes they aren’t typical they eat insects like crickets and worms and only get 2 1/2-3 feet long Ik you always said you wanted a snake but don’t want to have mice so I don’t know just take a peak Regards
This video came at a great time! I’ve had my crestie for about 2 weeks now, she’s about 8 months old. I’ve been placing my hand in her tank in front of her to see if she’ll climb on, but typically she stares for about 8 seconds and then backs away 😅 Ive heard some people say you should just go for it and scoop them up but I’m unsure because I don’t even know if she’s adjusted yet, not sure if she’s eating yet (I’ve managed to hand feed her though)
Agreed, you just have to start handling her. After a few sessions she typically should calm down quickly once out of the cage and be quite content to spend time with you and even tolerate gentle petting on the head. As she gets older she should also get better with handling too. I'd recommend looking at her feeding dish daily and you should be able to see if she has eaten anything or not.
Yeh I miss my teachers crested gecko I looked after at school he was soooo soft! But... crazier than drogo ngl he’d run around the room poop etc but still a pretty cool geck
I have a hatchling that's only a week old and it's the most chill of the geckos I own. I also have a baby that's about 3 months old I got from a breeder that's my most skittish one. It's very much a case by case basis in my experience
i legit walked into a pet store with the bf , looked at 2 cresties, the bf looked too.... did the math and looked at me and said sooooo.... were going home with both or just one..... Chaos and Mayhem are doing wonderfully... hahaha
Awesome video I just do love how so many of them look similar but there personalities are so different probably, I really wanted people to know that if they even read this. Mine still has his tail too, that was the one thing that scared me so much, again your videos did help me tremendously from being afraid of the tail dropping so I just want to say thank you and how you explain everything is amazing so 😊 thank you now I have three amazing Crested Geckos and leopard geckos 🦎🥰💞💞
Aww thanks! Yeah some can look quite similar, but like with Isla and Lyra they had different head sizes :') and to me, their personalities were so different :)
I like the frog butts but their tail does help, so I hope mine are still thriving and stay healthy like yours all are. Truly your animals are so healthy, I’m just happy that they have a great amazing home! Plus congratulations for having amazing animals because it’s a love that you can’t explain unless you own any kind of animal, that you truly love like yours.💞🦎💗
I do truly love your videos because, I didn’t realize how soft your skin was, or the shedding that I’m sorry you can’t really see 😂 so thank you for making a Crested Geckos one. It was awesome 😎 I just had to say that again! and yes you don’t need to show your face in videos, yes I have seen them all pretty much, I think 🤔 so, because they’re so awesome that nobody cares 🙏 and that is something that is very rare so congratulation🦎🍀‼️
I can agree that cresties sometimes drop their tails for no reason. I was holding my crestie and it jumped on my shoulder mid jump it decided it didn't need a tail.🙈 Yep I got scared because the tail landed on my my lap.🥴
wow that's crazy. Yeah like when I found Isla had dropped her tail I was so confused why it happened, like I woke up and she'd dropped it in the night - sadly later that day she passed away, so I think that contributed to it :( like it was a pre-warning.
I have a question I trust you more then the internet I'm getting a leopard gecko for my birthday on November 24 how much food dose a leopard gecko need to eat a Day
idk if she'll respond so I will- what I did was I put in a bunch of mealworms into my Leo's bowl and left it there overnight to see how much she'd eat. (because Leo's don't normally overeat)
She has a video that has a chart that goes over how often and around how much to feed a lepoard gecko. Up to 1 year old feed like every day. Then less often when older. I feed my 2 year old leo like 10 to 15 mealworms every 4 to 5 days. He's definitely not skinny. I certainly enjoy him as he was my first reptile. Although I only have the one lepoard gecko and I have 4 crested geckos. They are easier to care for in my opinion plus they handle better as well and take up less space since then need tall tanks (and don't require heat or light if you keep your home temperature around 70 to 80) whereas, the lepoard gecko needs a long tank plus a heat mat and thermostat. Cresties eat a powder diet you mix with water (plus you can feed them insects but you don't have to). Leo's of course will only eat live insects and nothing else. I just buy mealworms and store them in the fridge in wheat germ.
I think talking about how to take your gecko out of their enclosure would have been a good topic. I have a new to me crested gecko and I’m still trying to figure out how to get him out without freaking him out too much or being rough
I have 4 crested geckos. One of them will actually come to me to get out of the cage. The other 3 definitely won't lol. Honestly, you just have to reach in and pick them up. Or if you can't get to them you have to herd them to the cage top or front where you can get them. All mine handle quite well once they are out of their cages and calm down quickly. I've found crested geckos to be quite content to sit with you for long periods of time. I love my lepoard gecko as well but he won't sit still for long. My cresties also seem to be quite content with soft petting on the head. Good luck.
OMG, you mentioned handling in a reptile shop. So when we went to the reptile store to hold a leo, obviously the first one I held I fell in love with and we walked out. with it and we were thinking to get one 1 or 2 months later but no we got it that day. Then 3-4 months later we went again to go look at cresties and you can guess what happened, we walked out with one. Lol:) And also when we where holding the crestie it overshot my hand because it was flat not angled and landed on the floor with a splat. I will say my mom let out a scream because she thought we might of killed it or hurt it then I said "they are fine, they do that from trees to escape predators, don't doubt me I did my research" I said. It was kinnda funny how our family goes to hold a pet and walks out with it every time. Have a great day and keep making the best videos on youtube:)
Haha yeah I was able to hold a baby leachie in a shop once and as I went to put it back in the cage, it leapt off of my hand onto the floor! I was like 'OH NO!' and the lady laughed and said they do that all the time, its okay :')
Hi leopard gecko! I know this is off topic and u probably won’t see this but my leo keeps getting her teeth stuck in reptile carpet and I want to switch to something else but idk what to switch to I’m thinking about tile and I just wanted to know if u have any suggestions and also right now I’m using a 10 gal cause she’s just a baby but I wanted to know if I should switch to my 50 gal or how old I should let her get before I do. Thx even tho u probably won’t see this lol ❤️
To me crested geckos feel like soft marshmallow on they belly's and a very very fine sandpaper feeling on there back. To me there feet are just soft pads.
I’m thinking about getting a leopard gecko and you have helped so much thank you I’m also thinking of a name idk what to name them please help me think🙂
Exo Terra has front opening tanks of that size and a bit bigger. They’re expensive brand new but you can often find them secondhand on sites like Craigslist for cheaper. PVC enclosures are an option as well but are expensive. I’d go for a bigger tank if possible.
Not really related to the video but I had to share. I've had my leopard gecko Bernard for 3 weeks now, he eats like a champ and wiggles the tip of his tail like a dog when he is about it catch the prey. He doesn't mind being handled but is a bit riggly. If I bring him out the cage it's only when he's perfectly still for five mins but I love letting him scurry across me. Questions? The shop said he was old enough to leave, he is the right length but is only 8g when everything else says he should be 18g, is he just going to be a small gecko or did we get him younger than 8 weeks? I really want to start taking him out more and letting him play on me but I don't trust him to not run under a couch or something, should I just wait until he doesn't run so much or do it in a safer place? Thankyou for reading
Hi there, Quick question if that’s ok! I live in a apartment block and I’m worried that a crested would make too much noise during the day/night. Do they ‘chirp’ or call out at all? Thanks
@@markadams5009 haha, in their defence they can be really adorable. My dotty is a very sweet tokay most of the time its just she is very very fast (almost as fast as my large forest gecko and they are a very speedy hyperactive gecko). Problems start when you try to put her back when she aint ready thats when she starts barking and opening her mouth haha :D
My three month old (I think) male leopard gecko has lighter colored poop he's been having this light colored poop ever since I got him two months ago. I've been doing a lot of research and I can't see where I'm going wrong. He's hydrated, not using sand I'm using eco earth, warm hide, cool hide, moist hide, and an extra hide just so he was enough places to hide. I give him a variety of foods like meal worms and crickets, I give him supliments and he has a calcium dish in his cage. He's acted completely normal and has only perfect sheds since I got him. He's a healthy weight and I don't seem to know what's going on. If any person reading this has a suggestion I would be so great full!
Gizmo update!!!! Gizmo is going into she'd again as of typing this😃 and. Gizmo is getting better with handling but still a little weary of me and I just got my 3d background for gizmo and we found a 40 gallon tank for giz AND I'm getting all the bioactive materials ready so now I just need gizmo to get a bit bigger!!!! Love your content and the editing is amazing 🤣
First time gecko owner here :) I’m always so scared she’s gonna jump, run and I won’t be able to find her. Just wondering the probability of that happening? Also your tanks are so beautiful!!
I have 4 cresties. They will quickly grow accustomed to handling. You can start out kinda sitting turned sideways on your bed so that you don't need to worry if it jumps. I also like to feed my cresties a little Pangea when I handle them. I use these long wooden shish kabob skewers they sell at Walmart like 100 for a dollar. I'll feed them a little out of the cup of Pangea I make up to put in their tank. I don't sit there and feed them everything I mix up just part of it, and then I'll put the food cup in the tank when I put the gecko back up. (Honestly I'll usually sit them in a little 6 quart container when I'm done handling them and then I'll go spray their tank and put the food up and change out the water in their water dish. Then I'll get the gecko and put them on a bar in their tank. They love those Fluker's adjustable bamboo bars. I've also got some of the large size bendable vines and they like hanging out on those also.
Man, I just got a leo, but now I want a crested! Thanks a lot >:( Also, your videos really helped me with Louise (my leo) and I picked her up for the first time yesterday!!
I just got a baby leopard gecko named randal he is a normal breed if you want to see it it's on my channel i got all of the facts for care from you so thanks for the help
I am new here and I am researching Crested Geckos and Gargoyle Geckos so I can convince my parents to get me one and i was ordering what type of tank is best for these geckos
They need a vertical enclosure. Adults need an 18x18x24 minimum (but bigger is better). You could use a glass enclosure like an Exo Terra or you could convert a plastic bin.
What do you do when they get up and around your shoulder where you can’t reach them? Thats the only thing that worries me when I hold Norbert so sometimes I get a second person to help
My crested gecko sometimes looks at something for 5 min and then jumps out of nowhere
😅😅 typical Crestie
The dislikes are the people who are mad that their geckos arent as cute as urs
😅😅
Ziggy the Gecko her geckos are amazing I agree with that part but I believe everybody’s gecko is amazing but I see what you’re saying that was a dare move to make I’m laughing 😂
Created gecko= soft, jumpy potato boi
@Samuel Wilson gReEN
@Chibi Lemonz True😂😂
Green Sapling my baby still loves to jump and very far‼️💓
It’s a unique spelling add to talking to my pad but I wish I could so mine looks weird sometimes but it’s just what it says it equals out to that🥰🦎💞
For people wanting to know. Hatchling cresties do move fast and jump quite a bit but after a few months they usually calm down. I would handle mine while sitting on my bed, so if she would jump she would have a soft landing and couldn't go far
Yeah, and some of them are soooo tiny 😮 so very delicate too.
I guess it's a bit like baby leos, they're a little extra speedy when they're little lol
Our girl raises her back leg before pooping, like a boy dog. I laugh every time, but I love that she warns us!! Ps. Love the baby yoda crush going on there😍
Omg 😂😂
I have just gotten my granddaughters leopard gekco when her mom wasnt caring for him. Thank you so much for all the info I had no idea where to even begin. "Spot" has gained weight and now comes when I speak to him. You are great!!
That’s good
Aww you are welcome! Glad to help :D
That's so awesome! My son got a baby crestie from his science teacher.... i was clueless, Leopard Gecko's videos are the best! So much useful information!! Our girl is thriving. Glad to hear you are helping Spot live his best gecko life!
@@masteryoda4442 master yoda???
What I learnedly from getting my crestie:
Squishy jumpy velvety baby
I love your Crestie, it’s so beautiful!!! And your Leo’s, I love how they can close their eyes, smile, yawn, it’s all so cute! They are like little angels that bless us each day🙃
*she sorry big drama queen when people call pets it
@꧁Rainbowwing꧂ oh sorry, I don’t think I explained myself that well😅 By “it” I was referring to their awesome traits, not the pet itself, srry if I had you confused!
I got a baby crestie a few days ago and hes already so tame!! :]
Im totally in love with him

handling a crested gecko feels like a little piece of sticky suede on your hand
Yes!! haha
“Sticky suede” that’s amazing 🤣😂🤣
My little girl Neera is about 7 months and she is so sweet. She'll sit on my finger and wrap her tail around another and just chill with me and it makes my heart flutter
She is soooo cute! So nice to hear your happy voice again ❤️
Thank you :D
I've been debating about getting a crested gecko and you've sold me on the idea, they're so precious!
I want one too 😅❣️
We love ours
When my snake sees me, he stops everything and comes towards me to be picked up😂
Edit: Ah he's watching me now😂
Aww that's so cute!
I will say if you have a male crestie, they tend to be more skittish and jumpy. But like she said, they can also tame down with time.
I love ur vids my geck hadn't eaten in 4and a half months u helped so much she is fine and eating perfect your vids are amazing
Omg I was laughing so hard when the crestie jumped on the camera at 6:13 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was my cresties 1st Birthday yesterday 💚🥳
She is currently 24g and I'm getting her a 45cm×45cm×60cm terrarium.:)
thats so big wtf
God damn mantion
Your channel has helped me a lot so much so that I made my own channel and you made my leopard geckos days better

Aww congrats! Good luck with Leonardo :') No problem, happy to help!
when my crestie was a baby he was sooo speedy and jumped everywhere but after about a year he calmed down and stayed in place for a little while. he still jumps around but definitely not as much.
I love reptiles, and im looking at videos non stop even though i cant get one
I’m currently in the process of gathering materials to build a crestie enclosure. All the cork bark and wood is pretty expensive.
Kijjiji and Facebook market place were my options and there is some great buys. Be picky and but high quality name brand products. I got a 60$ piece of cork for 10$. Large exo Terra's terrariums and uvb fixtures. Lots of families failed with their pets or scaling down and just want to get rid of the stuff.
Keep in mind to install a emergancy fund before getting a gecko, because you do NOT want to get into a situation where they need a vet and you can´t afford it.

Thank you for the video!! Keep up making the best videos I've ever seen on geckos!!!
perfect video! Im plannning to get one in a few days and putting em' in our old turtle's tank, which really needs somecleaning
Thanks! ah exciting!

I'll have a look, but I must admit my heart belongs to lizard :')
Leopard Gecko cool thank you I just thought I’d share about it I know I love lizards too I have had 2 cresties
after watching these vids ive started to make my own vids of my animals thank you
Aw no problem :) good luck with your channel!
Dam this channel has grown since I last been here congrats 🥳
Thank you :)
This video came at a great time! I’ve had my crestie for about 2 weeks now, she’s about 8 months old.

I would start handling because it has been 2 weeks and it should only take 2-3 days. I would love a sub:)
Agreed, you just have to start handling her.

YASS WAITING ALL DAYYYYYY!
Very helpful
I'm getting one
THANKS
I recently got a baby crestie and I was really lucky because he was really tame as the breeder handled him a lot.😁
Yeh I miss my teachers crested gecko I looked after at school he was soooo soft! But... crazier than drogo ngl he’d run around the room poop etc but still a pretty cool geck
Haha oh goodness :')
I have a hatchling that's only a week old and it's the most chill of the geckos I own. I also have a baby that's about 3 months old I got from a breeder that's my most skittish one. It's very much a case by case basis in my experience
Get I recently got my created gecko and you have helped me so much thank you so much noodles day thank you:b
I zoned out for a sec and nearly had a heart attack :/ lol 3:22
i legit walked into a pet store with the bf , looked at 2 cresties, the bf looked too.... did the math and looked at me and said sooooo.... were going home with both or just one..... Chaos and Mayhem are doing wonderfully... hahaha
Awesome video I just do love how so many of them look similar but there personalities are so different probably, I really wanted people to know that if they even read this. Mine still has his tail too, that was the one thing that scared me so much, again your videos did help me tremendously from being afraid of the tail dropping so I just want to say thank you and how you explain everything is amazing so 😊 thank you now I have three amazing Crested Geckos and leopard geckos 🦎🥰💞💞
Aww thanks! Yeah some can look quite similar, but like with Isla and Lyra they had different head sizes :') and to me, their personalities were so different :)
I like the frog butts but their tail does help, so I hope mine are still thriving and stay healthy like yours all are. Truly your animals are so healthy, I’m just happy that they have a great amazing home! Plus congratulations for having amazing animals because it’s a love that you can’t explain unless you own any kind of animal, that you truly love like yours.💞🦎💗
I do truly love your videos because, I didn’t realize how soft your skin was, or the shedding that I’m sorry you can’t really see 😂 so thank you for making a Crested Geckos one. It was awesome 😎 I just had to say that again! and yes you don’t need to show your face in videos, yes I have seen them all pretty much, I think 🤔 so, because they’re so awesome that nobody cares 🙏 and that is something that is very rare so congratulation🦎🍀‼️
I have a 7 year old crestie. I can feel her claws almost every time I get her out. A bit like velcro.
Ah really? I don't really feel Lyra's. I sometimes feel Drogo's though lol
I have 4 Leo's, but no crested geckos. They are awesome little geckos though and I love how when they walk they kinda curl their toes upwards. ❤
Lol I have almost the opposite of you. I have one leo and four cresties. 😅
i have had a baby leopard gecko for 3 weeks now.... I've been watching her for 2 years... now I want a crested gecko-
Love your channel and especially your ant series keep up the hard work
I can agree that cresties sometimes drop their tails for no reason. I was holding my crestie and it jumped on my shoulder mid jump it decided it didn't need a tail.🙈 Yep I got scared because the tail landed on my my lap.🥴
wow that's crazy. Yeah like when I found Isla had dropped her tail I was so confused why it happened, like I woke up and she'd dropped it in the night - sadly later that day she passed away, so I think that contributed to it :( like it was a pre-warning.
I have a question I trust you more then the internet I'm getting a leopard gecko for my birthday on November 24 how much food dose a leopard gecko need to eat a Day
idk if she'll respond so I will- what I did was I put in a bunch of mealworms into my Leo's bowl and left it there overnight to see how much she'd eat. (because Leo's don't normally overeat)
She has a video that has a chart that goes over how often and around how much to feed a lepoard gecko. Up to 1 year old feed like every day. Then less often when older. I feed my 2 year old leo like 10 to 15 mealworms every 4 to 5 days. He's definitely not skinny. I certainly enjoy him as he was my first reptile. Although I only have the one lepoard gecko and I have 4 crested geckos. They are easier to care for in my opinion plus they handle better as well and take up less space since then need tall tanks (and don't require heat or light if you keep your home temperature around 70 to 80) whereas, the lepoard gecko needs a long tank plus a heat mat and thermostat. Cresties eat a powder diet you mix with water (plus you can feed them insects but you don't have to). Leo's of course will only eat live insects and nothing else. I just buy mealworms and store them in the fridge in wheat germ.
I think talking about how to take your gecko out of their enclosure would have been a good topic. I have a new to me crested gecko and I’m still trying to figure out how to get him out without freaking him out too much or being rough
I have 4 crested geckos. One of them will actually come to me to get out of the cage. The other 3 definitely won't lol. Honestly, you just have to reach in and pick them up. Or if you can't get to them you have to herd them to the cage top or front where you can get them. All mine handle quite well once they are out of their cages and calm down quickly. I've found crested geckos to be quite content to sit with you for long periods of time. I love my lepoard gecko as well but he won't sit still for long. My cresties also seem to be quite content with soft petting on the head. Good luck.
OMG, you mentioned handling in a reptile shop. So when we went to the reptile store to hold a leo, obviously the first one I held I fell in love with and we walked out. with it and we were thinking to get one 1 or 2 months later but no we got it that day. Then 3-4 months later we went again to go look at cresties and you can guess what happened, we walked out with one. Lol:) And also when we where holding the crestie it overshot my hand because it was flat not angled and landed on the floor with a splat. I will say my mom let out a scream because she thought we might of killed it or hurt it then I said "they are fine, they do that from trees to escape predators, don't doubt me I did my research" I said. It was kinnda funny how our family goes to hold a pet and walks out with it every time. Have a great day and keep making the best videos on youtube:)
Haha yeah I was able to hold a baby leachie in a shop once and as I went to put it back in the cage, it leapt off of my hand onto the floor! I was like 'OH NO!' and the lady laughed and said they do that all the time, its okay :')
Yes
Hi leopard gecko! I know this is off topic and u probably won’t see this but my leo keeps getting her teeth stuck in reptile carpet and I want to switch to something else but idk what to switch to I’m thinking about tile and I just wanted to know if u have any suggestions and also right now I’m using a 10 gal cause she’s just a baby but I wanted to know if I should switch to my 50 gal or how old I should let her get before I do. Thx even tho u probably won’t see this lol ❤️
You probably should temporarily switch to paper towels, and then to tile or a sand mat. I’m not an expert tho 🤷♀️
What type of crested gecko are you holding in the beginning what morph?
To me crested geckos feel like soft marshmallow on they belly's and a very very fine sandpaper feeling on there back. To me there feet are just soft pads.
You should make an ant update video!🙃
I love ur vids!! ❤️ hope ur doing ok during these times 🦠!!❤️
I’m thinking about getting a leopard gecko and you have helped so much thank you
I’m also thinking of a name idk what to name them please help me think🙂
Will they get hurt if they jump to the ground from your hands?
I’m currently waiting to be able to order my crested gecko in. Very helpful
I have 2 Leo’s and gladly they haven’t dropped her tail😁
cool me too. how old are they? mine are about 3 months
@@Low_Key_Undercaffeinatted one of mine in 6 months and the other one Is about 2 moths
i’m getting a leopard gecko and i’m trying to find a 35-30 gallon front opening tank, do you suggest any 35-30 gallon front opening tanks?
Exo Terra has front opening tanks of that size and a bit bigger. They’re expensive brand new but you can often find them secondhand on sites like Craigslist for cheaper. PVC enclosures are an option as well but are expensive. I’d go for a bigger tank if possible.
thanks
Not really related to the video but I had to share. I've had my leopard gecko Bernard for 3 weeks now, he eats like a champ and wiggles the tip of his tail like a dog when he is about it catch the prey. He doesn't mind being handled but is a bit riggly. If I bring him out the cage it's only when he's perfectly still for five mins but I love letting him scurry across me.
Questions?
The shop said he was old enough to leave, he is the right length but is only 8g when everything else says he should be 18g, is he just going to be a small gecko or did we get him younger than 8 weeks?
I really want to start taking him out more and letting him play on me but I don't trust him to not run under a couch or something, should I just wait until he doesn't run so much or do it in a safer place?
Thankyou for reading
no he should be fine
Hi there, Quick question if that’s ok! I live in a apartment block and I’m worried that a crested would make too much noise during the day/night. Do they ‘chirp’ or call out at all? Thanks
I got the notification 19 hours late... C'mon UA-cam
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Big fan
I'm not sure about holding a crestie but holding my tokay dotty is terrifying haha
Cresties are definitely nothing like tokays. Lol tokays are like mini demons! Cresties are more like adorable little angels.
@@markadams5009 haha, in their defence they can be really adorable. My dotty is a very sweet tokay most of the time its just she is very very fast (almost as fast as my large forest gecko and they are a very speedy hyperactive gecko). Problems start when you try to put her back when she aint ready thats when she starts barking and opening her mouth haha :D
My three month old (I think) male leopard gecko has lighter colored poop he's been having this light colored poop ever since I got him two months ago. I've been doing a lot of research and I can't see where I'm going wrong. He's hydrated, not using sand I'm using eco earth, warm hide, cool hide, moist hide, and an extra hide just so he was enough places to hide. I give him a variety of foods like meal worms and crickets, I give him supliments and he has a calcium dish in his cage. He's acted completely normal and has only perfect sheds since I got him. He's a healthy weight and I don't seem to know what's going on. If any person reading this has a suggestion I would be so great full!
Gizmo update!!!! Gizmo is going into she'd again as of typing this😃 and. Gizmo is getting better with handling but still a little weary of me and I just got my 3d background for gizmo and we found a 40 gallon tank for giz AND I'm getting all the bioactive materials ready so now I just need gizmo to get a bit bigger!!!! Love your content and the editing is amazing 🤣
Ah that's brilliant to hear. She's going to love the tank!
Hello
First time gecko owner here :) I’m always so scared she’s gonna jump, run and I won’t be able to find her. Just wondering the probability of that happening?
Also your tanks are so beautiful!!
I have 4 cresties. They will quickly grow accustomed to handling. You can start out kinda sitting turned sideways on your bed so that you don't need to worry if it jumps. I also like to feed my cresties a little Pangea when I handle them. I use these long wooden shish kabob skewers they sell at Walmart like 100 for a dollar. I'll feed them a little out of the cup of Pangea I make up to put in their tank. I don't sit there and feed them everything I mix up just part of it, and then I'll put the food cup in the tank when I put the gecko back up. (Honestly I'll usually sit them in a little 6 quart container when I'm done handling them and then I'll go spray their tank and put the food up and change out the water in their water dish. Then I'll get the gecko and put them on a bar in their tank. They love those Fluker's adjustable bamboo bars. I've also got some of the large size bendable vines and they like hanging out on those also.
Mark Adams cool, thankyou! :)
Man, I just got a leo, but now I want a crested! Thanks a lot >:(
Also, your videos really helped me with Louise (my leo) and I picked her up for the first time yesterday!!
Haha they're both awesome geckos :)
The beginning of a video is the introduction, or intro, the end is called the outro, oddly. Your video taught me something new :)
I saw jumping in the title hoping if it was a normal thing for leos but i saw it was cresties ;( oh well doesnt matter still gonna be a good video :)
my almost three month old crested poops/pees pretty much every time i hold him or her 😂😭it’s like they wait to do it when you hold them
cute!!!!!!!!!
I just got a baby leopard gecko named randal he is a normal breed if you want to see it it's on my channel i got all of the facts for care from you so thanks for the help
I am new here and I am researching Crested Geckos and Gargoyle Geckos so I can convince my parents to get me one and i was ordering what type of tank is best for these geckos
They need a vertical enclosure. Adults need an 18x18x24 minimum (but bigger is better). You could use a glass enclosure like an Exo Terra or you could convert a plastic bin.
What do you do when they get up and around your shoulder where you can’t reach them? Thats the only thing that worries me when I hold Norbert so sometimes I get a second person to help
Thx to you I am getting a leopard gecko thank you can you do a morning and night routine with my leopard gecko
she did a day in the life of owning one a little bi ago:)
I love ur videos please notice me leopard gecko Thank you soooo much ur videos are so I tertaning❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕🦎🦎🦎
