+Leopard Gecko what is the ideal hight for an adult crestie
A toothpick is a great tool to clean out a milk cap :)
Switch and to just stir the mix. i just wipe it off afterwards so i can use it again
Also the pointy end of a dental flossed works really well
Or a tong :)
@@zoepickle3047 that's what I use!
i use a bobby pin that i opened up lol
The way they lick their food up is so cute xD
your voice is adorable
jordan s aw thank you haha
Thank you for making this video, this will really help me with my gecko
awh no problem :)
jordan s that was what I was thinking the whole time! My voice sounds so nerdy on camera😅
so is youre profile pic
Fun fact!: if you use distilled water, it won't stain ur tanks glass :)
This might come off a liiiiiittle weird but I think your voice sounds beautiful
My gecko peed on me right when you were talking about having a tissue 😂
Getting one today,
My professor is pitching in on it
A few Crestie hacks of my own:
- *Research your animal*. Find out more about its native environment. Your primary goal is to replicate this as closely as is reasonably possible.
- Don't be scared of humidity. Cresties are a rainforest species which thrive in 70% humidity. 'Drying out' periods could potentially deprive your gecko of vital hydration, as most hygrometers are inaccurate at reading humidty! Cresties NEED water in order to properly function. Do not relentlessly pursue a false goal of 'drying out' your Crestie tank. Keep it clean and well ventilated.
Andrew Wood geez this comment is a year later okay so, I get scared I don’t wanna spray too much but I also don’t wanna spray too little, doesn’t it matter how much I spray since they rely on water so much?
@@christophergreen3158 get a humidity level to see how humid the tank is.
I'm going to get a crestie in a few weeks for my birthday! I'm so happy to be watching your videos!
I need to super thank you for the glass cleaner tip because not only am I prepping for a crested gecko, my aquatic turtles can hardly be seen through the buildup at it's worst spots and there were no tips I've seen so far that I felt comfortable risking it sliding into the water and their eyes like lime or vinegar would do, but this gel that I finally got to try today - not only does it stay where I put it; I could tell the difference quite quickly! It truly made a huge positive impact! Huge thank you!
I really miss my crestie.. She died a few years back. Her name was Ginger and she was a fire colour one ;)
At 1:09 it WAS oddly satisfying
Omg the dried food is so true! Thanks for the helped with the dried food. Like you saved my life THANK YOU!
Ty sooo much for the tips and tricks!
I'm getting my own Crested Gecko soon, so I watched ALL of your Crested Gecko tutorials! :D
IAm CuriousLuke aw thank you! Glad to help :)
Thanks sooooo much, your crestie vids r always so helpful to me bc I’m getting a crested gecko
This has been really helpful I got one today and I will use these tips for him
OMG such a gorgeous cresty!
hey leopardgeckotalk ,for my birthday I am getting a crested gecko. I have been telling my friends and parents all the information I learned from you so thank you!!! BTW love your content ❤❤
I've found the easiest way for cleaning out the cap is to actually lay it in the sink, put the plug in and then run your hot water on it, as hot as it goes. Leave it like that while you're taking our your food, getting your scoop, bottles of water, etc. It's cleans it out perfectly and leaves nothing behind!
i love my new cresty I've called him miniblunt😂
I really like your videos, along with the tanks!! :)
this was uploaded on my birthday lol
btw great, helpful video! it was greatly appreciated!
Great video!!!! I am getting my crested gecko at the end I can’t wait
This video is awesome lol,it came out the day I was gonna get my first crestie! And I usesed the will lid tip too it works great :D
i love your videos salute for the hard work
I use milk lids as food bowls as well, but make sure (if u just got a crested gecko and didn't know this) that you clean the milk out properly as they can't digest milk properly. Aha just thought it would be good to let people know who didn't already 😂❤️
I use a cave for my gecko's warm hide and he doesn't lay in it often, but he still lays on the heat mat around the hide, so I've never worried much about it.
Also, I liked this video a lot! Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks so much these work great on my crested gexko
Your accent is everything 💜💜
great video!! I never would have known the good one. thanks ❤❤

Thebeastlytigerplayz _ thank you!

i find this vidio helpful thank you
I always use distilled water to spray the tank. Leaves the walls crystal clear with no spotting :)
yeah but that water doesn't always do too well with plants in the tank.
4:01 "wait what? no no wait! put me down, where are you taking me!? AAHH!"

reuben feltham awesome! Thank you :)
i will be sure to keep these crested gecko life hacks in mind :)
Your crested Gecko is the cutest.
aw thank you!
Leopard Gecko It's no problem!
I peel out the food like you do but then I always wash it with hot water and blue Dawn dish soap and dry it before I use it again. I have had my gecko for almost five months and I haven't needed to replace the lid I use yet :)
I love reptiles! I’ve had a tarantula on my head and I’m 9!
Thanks now I want a crested and a leopard gecko
I had my gecko for over a year and it still wasn't tame but then I started cricket feeding and now it loves me
The peeling off the CGD technique reminds me of when you get PVA glue on your hands and you have to rip it off :P I remember we did this in primary school a lot and most people found it satisfactory; I just thought it hurt!
Have you seen the brand new CGD out? It's by HabiStat and comes in six flavours (banana, mango, strawberry and then each of these again but with crickets)!
I'd try using an Exo Terra compact top for the jungle dawn, you'd just have to make sure that it would fit in it...
Make sure what ever you feed is a complete diet. Pangea and Black panther Zoological is the best ones.
danke you
i named my leopard gecko (Eila)[ i had no idea how to spell iy but i think thats a unique way] and obviously since im such a copy cat i got the idea from this channel, and everyone always gives me crap about how stupid and weird the name is . i personally love it lol!
Olive Shupe 'Islay' is the name of a stunning Scottish island. Also pronounced 'Isla'.
Spell your pets name however you damn well want to! ;)
Great video as always!!! I do have a quick question. I have a male crested gecko that i've owned for over two years now and i have had him since he was a hatchling. The whole time i've had him he has been extremely tame for the standards of a crested gecko, but for some odd reason he all of a sudden recently he is scared of everything that has to do with me and he is getting to the point where he is hurting himself from running into the walls of his tank or rubbing his face on the wire mesh lid. What i'm wondering is if you have any idea on why he all of a sudden is acting this way, and if you know how i could get him back to the way he was before. I take him out at least a couple times a week if not more. There is a female and another male crestie in the room but he is in his own tank and the tanks are not by each other.
I know that this is three years late, but some geckos that are boys just goes through that phase sometimes. Usually they calm down in a few weeks
@@cherishedreptiles9863 kinda like puberty in that way lol😂
If you have trouble with humidity HVAC tape is excellent. You can make two layers back to back which will prevent the underside being exposed through the mesh ;)
And nice video
Bacteria is a living organism; that being said some bacteria can live in other conditions that most can’t. Therefore u “removing the dried content” out of the lid isn’t getting rid of any of the bacteria that is still left
In my terrariums, I just wipe the walls down when theyre wet and the Glass is clean.
You deserve 1million subscribe
SNAKEEYES79 aw thank you :) I'm pretty chuffed at what I currently have, can't quite believe it haha
Instead of using bubble wrap and tinfoil, you can buy something called reflectix. I made inserts for the screen part of the tank and put duct tape on the edges for a snug fit. Works perfectly and looks a tad nicer :)
Please do one of these on Leopard geckos
I love watching ur vids a lot and right now I'm interested in ur ant series but I have a question how did u get ur colony to grow so fast
scarcrowX9140 aw thank you! Ah I wouldn't say they've grown very fast as I've only got maybe 13 or so workers after over a year :')
Leopard Gecko that's still fast I have a queen by her self in one test an 2 in another ps I cant believe u responded ive always wanted to talk to u
oh right, just be aware 2 queens generally don't get along (depending on the species), most of the time one queen with eventually kill off the other one. Ah no problem haha
i put them together a couple days ago they've been laying next to each other and smelling each other
You can also put water in the cap and let sit a few hours so get a few dirty caps, put them in a cup of water than rinse them
I love u, it's crazy because I have 2 female leopard geckos and going to get a crested gecko if I need help I go to u
Could you tell me what plants you used at the bottom right at 6:49 ? Right next to the bamboo, the little clover-y plants? o:
You can also use a reverse osmosis filter to get misting water that won't stain walls (as it will be close to mineral-free). A bit of an initial cost, but the clean glass is worth it in the end.
exscape yeah only problem I've found is some plants I have don't do too well with that water :/
Thank you I love your videos I got six geckos
Sarah Alexander aw thanks! Same! Haha
Ahh thanks so much this helped me a lot! How's Isla with her eggs?
awh brilliant :) i'll be doing an update on her soon :)
Leopard Gecko thanks
Leopard Gecko How is she now?
Kaito Shiotsu what did he say?
Arkeim he asked how Isla her crested gecko that passed away was doing.
Is there any certain types of water you should use to spray the tank??
My male crested gecko looks the same like you're first crested gecko and I've got him from pets at home iswell and for how long do Crested geckos grow for?
Animallover 1 208 I'm pretty sure the crested gecko in the video is a full grown one. Mine is about that size
are there any plants that can be grown in a leopard gecko tank if so could you make a video
Can you show us how you made your created gecko cage setup ?
hi I'm getting a leopard gecko soon and I was wondering if I can use excavator clay as a substrate for it or if I should just use eco earth?
Jamie Rieker check out my excavator clay review video :)
Nice video but I have a question for you. My gecko has one eye wiche is a bite red and it's smaller than the other one. Do you know qhat it can be or what to do about it. Thank you
I love your voice
Hi! I have a created gecko that is very young and is very jumpy. When I try to let it climb on my hand or hold it, it always tries to squirm away from me. I'm afraid that it will jump out of my hand and get lost, but I read somewhere that you should take young geckos out for a couple minutes a day for them to get used to their surroundings. Should I wait until they are older to take them out so they feel more comfortable? Also, they go in hiding into a tree for long periods of time and sometimes I can't find them. Is that normal? Hopefully you respond. I love your videos!
Great video! I was wondering if this is okay. could I stroke my geckos jaw, causing him to open his mouth and then feed him a cricket? He is reluctant to eat them but I've read they are good to the health of a crested gecko. Any replies would be great! I'm wondering if it's force feeding or not.
I got my gecko to eat crickets by ripping off the heads of the cricket they go crazy for the head juices lol
I wouldn’t consider it force feeding but maybe try a different bug before you continue to do that :) I just realized how old this comment was so nvm 😂
Ok I have a couple questions first for humidity if I have the zoo med repti fogged does that help with humidity and for them to drink it. It uses distilled water so I don't know if that is safe to drink. And second do they need a big tall tank or can it just be like a 20 gallon long tank? Thanks!! Also great video.
the fogger can raise humidity a bit, but wont give your gecko enough liquid to drink, at all, just slightly vapour, but nowhere near as much as they need - best to stick to spraying the tank :). not sure how big a 20 gal tank is, but you need a tall tank, 45x 45 x 60 cm is minimum for an adult crestie. Thanks :)
Leopard Gecko ok reason I ask that is because sometimes when I spray it it doesn't stay very long and the substrate just takes it all in. I do have the substrate moist as well. Thanks for the tip though
Leopard Gecko also I was wondering if a tank that is 34cm long by 35cm wide by 62cm tall if that will be ok I know you said that it had to be 40 by 40 by 60 so.
That dried food looks like dabs
I've noticed that using distilled water in my spray bottle will not leave water marks, as the minerals from tap water/bottled water are removed. In case the minerals are beneficial for her health, I still use tap water when making her food and for her water bowl.
Can I also use the milk cap for water as well?
Gecko for life
Can you do a Review on wallnut sand
I just got my first crested gecko yesterday so this helped a lot Thx!!!
Btw his name is Mocha
Do you still have him?
Hey, How do you know if a crested gecko is stressed?
Lily Stone the tail will fall off
@@ravenzjam6259 actually it will get darker. It's a warning and if it continues being dark then it's tail will fall off
use Reverse osmosis water. doesn't leave any hard water stains. I'd suggest spraying down the whole tank to get up the proper humidity spike each night.
How long do you keep the LED light on for each day?
Spent a lot of time trying to clean and re-use those soda bottle caps and milk lids. Over time, too much of a hassle. Started to move to sauce lids which are super affordable and are perfect for the them with various sizes.
What food do you feed your cresties and what measurement spoon do you use? I cant remember what type of pangea you use.
MoleratGaming apricot and banana, and watermelon and mango. They both like different ones. Don't know what size spoon it is, but on the back of the pack it says how much to use usually. Follow me on Instagram (the face situation lol)
I have a question, I've been wanting to start an ant colony for a while but I don't know what container to put the ants in so they don't get out and do you buy ants from a pet store or what?
