Hey clint you are one of if not THE best informational youtuber! You also are always upbeat and positive! That's what makes youtube great. You make it entertaining every time but with information. You are a goat. Good job on your videos!
I agree, he was honest during last weeks vid when he was talking about those kids who killed those garters. He used his love for reptiles to save the garters lives. GOOD JOB CLINT!
That tail wag to let the other gecko know "I'm one of you" had me absolutely giggling and baby speaking to the little guy. 32 year old mechanic Absolutely amazing charismatic little creatures
I've got a pair of them since 3 weeks ago and i absolutely love them! They're beautiful and not shy at all, they have absolutely no problem with me holding them!
@@thomas8686 That's lovely!I just hatched Chinese painted quail in my vivarium, half for my snake half for pets and they are the size of bumblebees when they hatch! So tiny and delicate I had to be so careful moving them around
As someone who owns a trio of these wonderful little guys, I can vouch for everything you've said here - especially their ability to escape. Literally two minutes after I added them, one escaped through a space between the door and lid rim at the top. I've since taped the entire thing up including the front opening doors as I'm too worried to take it off! Something I don't believe Clint mentioned is that they WILL drink from water bowls. I still thoroughly recommend misting for humidity and drinking droplets, but if you have a small bowl of water available, they will also use that! Understandably low score, but if you're willing to be careful and work with them, they're possibly my absolute favourite gecko species and a delight to keep. Just set them up right!
I love his genuine intrigue and love for these animals, it makes you realise not just how amazing they really are, but how much you love them. Constantly blown away by your videos, keep up the awesome videos!
@@ClintsReptiles thank you so much for the amazing content. I definitely found your channel at the right time in my life and with it constantly fueling my own interest I dare say a lot of the choices I've made over the past year alone wouldn't have happened if not for you.
That makes me so happy to hear. I'm glad you found us. These are the videos I always wished existed, but they didn't. Now, little by little, they do :)
This is the best like/dislikes ratio I've ever seen on a heavily sponsored video from any UA-camr, good job with getting a nice applicable sponsor, not some mobile game.
Me and my partner keep phelsuma dorsivittatas and phelsuma laticaudas but we definitely won't stop collecting phelsumas because OH MY GOD THEY ARE PERFECT! Lizards in general don't have the reputation of a genius, which is pretty understandable (still love them) but thinking about these guys as silly little geese would be so unfair. I really can't put this into other words, I think they are intelligent, social creatures. Just a few of the things our day geckos do: -They will run to the glass and stare at us the moment they spot us misting/feeding the other terrariums. Almost as if they count the seconds we take till we get to them, and they can be super impatient about feeding/drinking! -If they are thirsty, they try to get our attention, and when we are finally looking at them, they stare at the misting spray. -They like to watch us going about our day -They accept gecko diet from hand (finger, technically) -They care for their bonded pair. We had to move the laticauda pair into another terrarium, which was easy to do with the female, but the male really made us nervous because he managed to hide under the backside of the terrarium, and we couldn't get to him (nor convience him to leave) for hours. At the middle of the moving, we had to stop the whole process, because it started to stress him out too much, and we didn't want to cause him harm. So when we finally could move him to his new place, we were absolutely relieved and delighted, for like 1,5 seconds. After 1,5 seconds the female ran up to the male, and for a moment we got scared bc what if the female already thinks of the new terrarium as her territory, and she wants to chase off the male. What happened instead, is the female put one of her foot on her pair, almost as a hug, and started licking him. She licked the dirt off of him, there was no biting, no chasing, it really seemed like she was making sure he is okay. She even put a hold on exploring their new habitat, and hid in one of the bambus rods with him for a couple of hours. I've never seen geckos do anything like that. I'm not saying it's 100% an empathy and social behaviour, maybe a gecko expert could analys it better, but until then, I fully believe the female recognised her pair, and that he was stressed, and she took care of him in the best way day geckos can..by licking, lol! Anyway, sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my native language, but I hope what I typed made sense still
I swear, my female klemmeri is as active, curious and colorful as a parrot. Always exploring, hopping about, observing whatever I'm doing at the time. Truly the best reptile pet i've ever had. extremely charismatic, ALWAYS active, curious and engaged, hardy, friendly and GORGEOUS. Add in a beautifully well planted bioactive habitat around them - Total joy. Could not recommend them more. I'm sure the next ten years will see an explosion in their popularity.
Such a beautiful gecko I’m just I’m just in awe at the colors. And that face when it looks directly into the camera it just broke my heart. Might be a new lizard for me to get. Or another bearded dragon
I’ve been watching this channel since last summer. I thought I wanted a chameleon, but Clint’s channel helped me find the perfect pet reptile for me. Thanks for helping me get my crested gecko. Best reptile channel, keep up the good work Clint!
Yes, please do make that enclosure video! Seems fairly similar to the mourning gecko enclosure that you demo’d a while back but I would love another! Also, really dig the bamboo idea.. so yes please 😁
It's so hard to pick my first reptile, because you keep making everything sound so appealing. Me and my fiance have now gone from "We're just going to get a normal ball python" to "So we're going to get a blue eyed leucistic morph, a pink tongue skink, and one day, we'll go big and get a Tegu like gus gus when we can make it enough space" from getting sucked in here. Your enthusiasm is so infectious haha. Bravo.
I’m so excited for the upcoming daygecko videos!!! And yeah. When handling daygeckos, let them walk on you. Never grab them. Same as handling an insect.
Clint I am so happy to see you team up with Josh's Frogs! You, as and amazing educator, and them as a truly honorable brand, are doing so much to advance our hobby and shed positive light on an industry which often time is only seen at it's worst. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for all you do to advance the care and knowledge of these incredible animals.
My Favourite Clint's Reptiles video to date.... you always have such joy in the retiles you review but your wonder and delight in these beautiful little creatures has made me watch the video over and over. So uplifting and a joy to watch.
We have several Gold Dust Day Geckos (p. laticauda) living around our station, and they've grown accustomed to us feeding them honey and mealworms. Since we can't have a dalmatian dog, I suppose they'll have to do as our station mascot!
You'd never believe someone if they told you this exists, you'd have to see it. A lizard with iridescent highlighter stripes, 1960s bathroom tiles legs, and black crystaline stripes, nah, you're high. But there it is.
Such personable, curious geckos. For as small as they are, they are amazingly bold and inquisitive and rarely skittish. They can be incredibly fast and agile when they want to be, though! Which makes it all the more impressive that they tolerate handling so well.
I love Josh's Frogs. I have ordered all kinds of stuff from them and highly recommend them. Great video Clint!!! Great footage as well. Great job camera guy or girl lol.
You seriously kill it, you talk about these reptiles like some guy who is just excited about them, but to anyone who is experienced with reptiles, I understand everything you say in a way that people who aren't experienced kind of understand but people who know, totally get what you are saying. I love it. Awesome man!
I have to say the Emerald Swift lizard could compete with these guys on beauty. I have one and I love it so much. such a fun and bright /beautiful lizard!
that moment when its sooo tiny the camera wont even focus on it. Its sooooooo cute, ill watch but as much as i like them its so tiny im terrified something will happen. To those of you who have these amazing little bundles of energy i salute you and hope you enjoy them!
My male Chahoua got out. He found a weakness in the screen and went for an adventure. I wasn't afraid because he is so social that sometimes just putting a good dish in the tank he climbs on then refuses to climb off, so I knew he would turn up. One day he startled me trying to climb my leg, I shook him off because I didn't realize it was hi, but he didn't even flinch and boy did he drink. He is so tame I can clean dirt off his nose and he wont back away.
I believe Rainbow Whiptails definitely give these geckos a run for their money in terms of vibrant colors and beauty and would love to see you be able to do a video with them. Unfortunately I've only ever seen wild caughts distributed.
Beautiful gecko. My wife and I have really enjoyed watching your videos and I think you have helped my wife to appreciate all of my creatures which she so far has put up with. She jokes around and says “ well hi there” to me. I just got 4 dart frogs and would love for you to do a video on dart frogs.
I would love a series on different types of enclosures for different types of reptiles and amphibians. The basics of what you need and how you make them. The different components and how they all work together. Thanks for the awesome content!
The only thing more striking than that lizard is your tie. 4/5, best tie. Love the vids bud. Wish I could be half as excited about literally anything! Cheers.
The store I work at just got a pair of yellow headed geckos, but the poor things colors are so brown and drab, had it not been for this video I'd have no clue just how gorgeous they should be. Now that I have a better understanding I can get them looking sharp again. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
I ordered a gecko from Josh's Frogs 2 days before you posted this video 😮 Dang-it, Clint! However, I really have to thank you for introducing me to a beautiful lizard and always educating the viewer in an exciting way. It's comforting to know I'm getting a pet that is very well-bred!
Thank you so much for including a trustworthy breeder in the desc! This is really helpful as it is quite difficult to order a lizard while also making sure it’s a reputable breeder. Stay safe Clint!
Absolutely stunning geckos and great video! Fun fact on structural color - some insect species, such as damsel flies, use structural color as a competitive mating display. Essentially, the exact color reflected off the body of the damsel fly depends on how curved the chitin is - and therefor how big an insect is and how much fat it has stored away. Because of these, male damsel flies competing for territory and mates can avoid unnecessary combat by gauging the color of another male. This is grossly simplified and I highly encourage anyone interested to do their own research, but a good jumping off point is "Colour, fat and social status in male damselflies, Calopteryx maculata" by Fitzstephens and Getty.
Wow, I JUST bought a Robert Murten's day gecko from Josh's Frog's that arrived yesterday, what a coincidence. (wink wink for maybe a future video?) It's so damn tiny, I'm so afraid something is gonna happen to it but its wonderful.
YESSSS DAY GECKO VIDEOS! im so excited! I've always loved day geckos, and once im financially stable and have my own place i hope to add a few pairs to my collection. So happy that you're doing videos on more species! (Also, hadn't realized josh's frogs had such a good selection of day geckos, so now i have a breeder to keep an eye on for when im finally ready to add them to my collection!)
I'm happy Josh's Frogs is getting some love today, they deserve it. I bought my two gargoyle geckos from them and every step of the process was a delight. They are great people to work with and my current favorite online resource for anything for my lizards.
I LOVE Josh's Frogs. I'm glad you got a sponsorship with them. I get nearly all my reptile products from them. They have the best feeder insects I've ever gotten.
If theres a single youtuber that brings me joy everytime he uploads, its you Clint! By the way, you motivated and helped me start in the reptile world! (I have Larry, a beautiful Leopard Gecko)
It is funny watching them trying to climb on that bamboo. It's like he can't get traction. And he's looking right at the camera man. It is so stinkin cute. Their little feet are so adorable. Like little suction cups with velcro.
14:08 it's funny, I actually have three neon day geckos and recently had one escape. I was puzzled with where it was I thought maybe it had died and the other geckos ate it or maybe it escaped? Anyway I'm looking around the tank for like two hours trying to find this guy until I'm convinced he's just gone for good... and then right as I finish up, I see a little gecko in the corner of my eye climbing over a rubbermaid on the other side of the room just kinda looking around and hanging out. I had caught lizards in my backyard a lot as a kid so I cautiously approached to try to recover him and surprisingly, he didn't put up much of an effort trying to escape and I was able to appeal to his curiosity a bit, get him to jump on my hand, and safely let him back into his enclosure. Love these geckos, so much fun to watch and absolutely beautiful lizards.
Clint's Reptiles I have a back patio it is size of a small bedroom . It gets full morning sun. I see a beautiful tegu or if I were in heaven a Komodo dragon! But in reality I know I must be happy with my precious little geckos and anole sweet lizards that live all around my home. My realistic dream is a male normal type western hog nose.
Joshs frogs is definitely my go to website for supplies. I also met Josh at tinley and told him how much I appreciate his company, and the awesome customer service.
You are amazing and so is Josh’s Frogs. I got my gargoyle and leachie geckos from them and all my plants and clean up crew for my Vivarium. They are an amazing company with knowledgeable helpful people that care about what they do. Highly recommend! Also Clint your joy for these animals makes my heart happy. Love your channel!
"Phelsuma Klemmeri" would be a great name for a Black Metal band. And this is not a joke. Great channel, man. Greetings from a Portuguese owner of a 30 year old red-eared slider.
can we all just appreciate a grown man babytalking and absolutely adoring on a teeny tiny little lizard? I have a spare 12x12x18 and you're making a good sell for these guys!
We have a pet shop in the UK called Phelsuma farm that specialises in day gecko's so while not cheap they are available several times a year for anyone in the UK.
They look like they are trying to imitate a small/young Parrot or Parakeet/Budgerigar when on your hand. Probably makes a ton of their predators jog on. Would also go some way to explain their stop/start motion on your hand or log. Like hopping from perch to perch. Great vid.
Thanks for sharing your experience with these amazing little lizards! After hearing that you never see em in pet shops, I feel very fortunate to have seen some in person at my local reptile store!
I would love to see more videos on different smaller tortoise species (e.g. Greeks, Egyptians, red foot, etc.) and smaller monitors from the Pacific islands (quince, etc.)! Great video, keep it up!
I recently got a baby ackie monitor (thanks to you - just want to thank you so much for introducing them to me, Nettle has brought so much joy into my life already
I definitely want to learn more about bioactive enclosures for these fascinating little guys. Thank you so much for your reptiles and education on these amazing creatures! Thank you to all of you at Clint's Reptiles!
I keep my mourning geckos in a exo Terra and I use Polly wool to fill the gaps in the screen for cords, but I have a cork bark back ground to rest it on. I also filled the front grate with square of mesh cut from the drainage mesh inserted with tweezers and flattened them out using a qtip
What about the William's dwarf day gecko? I'd say they have about the same amount of beauty points as the neons, as long as you're a fan of blue :D Luckily, blue, yellow highlights and black is one of my fave combinations! Not to mention their red/orange eyes!
Neons are definitely up there for the most beautiful lizards....but I think blue-tails and Mauritius ornate day geckos might have them beat! Great video as always - got me thinking about what to put in the empty 12x12x18 and 18x18x24 I have lying around....
I love Josh's Fogs mostly because they support a lot fo small pet tubers. They also offer great animals and supplies. Josh's Frogs care information is above and beyond all webs sites. Expensive is minor since they require people to make an effort to own. Money is not the best gauge but it can be a useful one. Great video thanks.
ive kept this gecko with green Anole, green tree frog, fresh water crab and Betta all together.. he was smallest but very wise and was never in the wrong place at the wrong time..
Josh's frogs is wonderful and has a diverse amount of geckos I would love if you covered some more eublepharidae geckos like banded geckos and cave geckos
OMG! They’re so cute, and pretty! U know, I used to have reptiles years ago, then I went off to college, so I didn’t replace them as the years went by some died, after years, and some I sold. I haven’t really been missing them much. Then I found your channel! 😂 Now I’m plotting where to put habitats, and what to purchase! I’m ruined!! 🤣🤣
Hey clint you are one of if not THE best informational youtuber! You also are always upbeat and positive! That's what makes youtube great. You make it entertaining every time but with information. You are a goat. Good job on your videos!

So true
*The GOAT, if you say "a goat" it implies you think that Clint is a grass eating, rock climbing member of Bovidae family of animals.
Check out snake discovery too! Emily is pretty much female Clint 🥰
@@Amandaaa2244 Snake discovery is actually my favourite channel in the whole of youtube.
"But beauty is not everything... Which is very fortunate for some of us."
That one hit a little bit too close to home, Clint.
A good smile and a positive attitude go a long way in my experience 😁
Hey! I resemble that remark! :P
Can we get a rip in the chat for the ones you mentioned.
Maybe, but at least you don't have to worry about dropping your tail if you're startled!
Agreed! It cut deep, but we still love you Clint!
Josh's frog appears to be alarmingly gecko shaped, in fact one could even be convinced that that is a gecko, but i will keep this a secret
Don't tell them.
what is a frog
It’s not Josh’s frog anymore...
It’s Jack’s frog now
Doesn’t look like a gecko to me, it’s obviously joshs frog. Silly goose.
@@heysaucemikehere1804 yes I also believe Josh's frog is actually a goose.

Absolutely stunning geckos and great video! Fun fact on structural color - some insect species, such as damsel flies, use structural color as a competitive mating display. Essentially, the exact color reflected off the body of the damsel fly depends on how curved the chitin is - and therefor how big an insect is and how much fat it has stored away. Because of these, male damsel flies competing for territory and mates can avoid unnecessary combat by gauging the color of another male. This is grossly simplified and I highly encourage anyone interested to do their own research, but a good jumping off point is "Colour, fat and social status in male damselflies, Calopteryx maculata" by Fitzstephens and Getty.
Wow, I JUST bought a Robert Murten's day gecko from Josh's Frog's that arrived yesterday, what a coincidence. (wink wink for maybe a future video?) It's so damn tiny, I'm so afraid something is gonna happen to it but its wonderful.
YESSSS DAY GECKO VIDEOS! im so excited! I've always loved day geckos, and once im financially stable and have my own place i hope to add a few pairs to my collection. So happy that you're doing videos on more species! (Also, hadn't realized josh's frogs had such a good selection of day geckos, so now i have a breeder to keep an eye on for when im finally ready to add them to my collection!)
I'm happy Josh's Frogs is getting some love today, they deserve it. I bought my two gargoyle geckos from them and every step of the process was a delight. They are great people to work with and my current favorite online resource for anything for my lizards.
I LOVE Josh's Frogs. I'm glad you got a sponsorship with them. I get nearly all my reptile products from them. They have the best feeder insects I've ever gotten.
That little face is the most precious thing I’ve ever seen!!
If theres a single youtuber that brings me joy everytime he uploads, its you Clint!
By the way, you motivated and helped me start in the reptile world! (I have Larry, a beautiful Leopard Gecko)
It is funny watching them trying to climb on that bamboo. It's like he can't get traction. And he's looking right at the camera man. It is so stinkin cute. Their little feet are so adorable. Like little suction cups with velcro.
I had a big smile all along! Thank you for sharing your joy and passion with us. These little guys are amazingly charismatic.
14:08 it's funny, I actually have three neon day geckos and recently had one escape. I was puzzled with where it was I thought maybe it had died and the other geckos ate it or maybe it escaped? Anyway I'm looking around the tank for like two hours trying to find this guy until I'm convinced he's just gone for good... and then right as I finish up, I see a little gecko in the corner of my eye climbing over a rubbermaid on the other side of the room just kinda looking around and hanging out. I had caught lizards in my backyard a lot as a kid so I cautiously approached to try to recover him and surprisingly, he didn't put up much of an effort trying to escape and I was able to appeal to his curiosity a bit, get him to jump on my hand, and safely let him back into his enclosure. Love these geckos, so much fun to watch and absolutely beautiful lizards.
I'm sorry clint but your wrong I do need these day geckos I need a whole herd of them
A swarm of them !
A flock? A bale? A rainbow of geckos?
@@aubreyackermann8432 ah yes youre using a lot of terms of venery there,
@@aubreyackermann8432 yeah what is a group of geckos? A tulip? A flail?
I'm getting my second lizard of my life in a few days and it was a species I learned about watching this show.
Not the lizard for me, but absolutely gorgeous and sweet. The enclosure is stunning with the bamboo. Fantastic
They are super cool. What lizards are on your list?
Same, not for me but absolutely gorgeous and adorable
Clint's Reptiles I have a back patio it is size of a small bedroom . It gets full morning sun. I see a beautiful tegu or if I were in heaven a Komodo dragon! But in reality I know I must be happy with my precious little geckos and anole sweet lizards that live all around my home. My realistic dream is a male normal type western hog nose.
The gecko in the back at 20:05 is the most adorable thing ever.
Joshs frogs is definitely my go to website for supplies. I also met Josh at tinley and told him how much I appreciate his company, and the awesome customer service.
You are amazing and so is Josh’s Frogs. I got my gargoyle and leachie geckos from them and all my plants and clean up crew for my Vivarium. They are an amazing company with knowledgeable helpful people that care about what they do. Highly recommend! Also Clint your joy for these animals makes my heart happy. Love your channel!
Oh boy,.. I'm not into keeping reptiles yet I do enjoy your channel and videos. But I have to admit, I instantly fell in love with those geckos!
"Phelsuma Klemmeri" would be a great name for a Black Metal band. And this is not a joke. Great channel, man. Greetings from a Portuguese owner of a 30 year old red-eared slider.
can we all just appreciate a grown man babytalking and absolutely adoring on a teeny tiny little lizard? I have a spare 12x12x18 and you're making a good sell for these guys!
We have a pet shop in the UK called Phelsuma farm that specialises in day gecko's so while not cheap they are available several times a year for anyone in the UK.
They look like they are trying to imitate a small/young Parrot or Parakeet/Budgerigar when on your hand. Probably makes a ton of their predators jog on. Would also go some way to explain their stop/start motion on your hand or log. Like hopping from perch to perch. Great vid.
I know this is old but the electric blue day gecko puts the neon to shame! Would be cool to see you take a look into them
I love the way their tail waves, and they way the slide across the wooden things, like they are moonwalking.
Thanks for sharing your experience with these amazing little lizards! After hearing that you never see em in pet shops, I feel very fortunate to have seen some in person at my local reptile store!
It would be great if you were able to post a video of how you made this enclosure step by step! Such a cute gecko!
I would love to see more videos on different smaller tortoise species (e.g. Greeks, Egyptians, red foot, etc.) and smaller monitors from the Pacific islands (quince, etc.)! Great video, keep it up!
Your enthusiasm is contagious. I love your videos. I've always been a snake guy but because of your videos this might be my first gecko.
I don’t understand why people would dislike factual pet care videos
I recently got a baby ackie monitor (thanks to you - just want to thank you so much for introducing them to me, Nettle has brought so much joy into my life already
I definitely want to learn more about bioactive enclosures for these fascinating little guys. Thank you so much for your reptiles and education on these amazing creatures! Thank you to all of you at Clint's Reptiles!
Took me until roughly 1:15 to realize you were holding a lizard. They're just so small and adorable!!
I keep my mourning geckos in a exo Terra and I use Polly wool to fill the gaps in the screen for cords, but I have a cork bark back ground to rest it on. I also filled the front grate with square of mesh cut from the drainage mesh inserted with tweezers and flattened them out using a qtip
What about the William's dwarf day gecko? I'd say they have about the same amount of beauty points as the neons, as long as you're a fan of blue :D
Luckily, blue, yellow highlights and black is one of my fave combinations! Not to mention their red/orange eyes!
Neons are definitely up there for the most beautiful lizards....but I think blue-tails and Mauritius ornate day geckos might have them beat! Great video as always - got me thinking about what to put in the empty 12x12x18 and 18x18x24 I have lying around....
Always love your videos, Clint! What adorable little lizards they are!
I think when I begin my reptile collection, I will have to check out Josh's frogs. You and Snake discovery speak so highly of them.
I love Josh's Fogs mostly because they support a lot fo small pet tubers. They also offer great animals and supplies. Josh's Frogs care information is above and beyond all webs sites.
Expensive is minor since they require people to make an effort to own. Money is not the best gauge but it can be a useful one.
Great video thanks.
ive kept this gecko with green Anole, green tree frog, fresh water crab and Betta all together.. he was smallest but very wise and was never in the wrong place at the wrong time..
They're looking around just like birds,that's so adorable!
Josh's frogs is wonderful and has a diverse amount of geckos I would love if you covered some more eublepharidae geckos like banded geckos and cave geckos
I love how passionate he is about teaching about animals and how much it shows
OMG! They’re so cute, and pretty! U know, I used to have reptiles years ago, then I went off to college, so I didn’t replace them as the years went by some died, after years, and some I sold. I haven’t really been missing them much. Then I found your channel! 😂 Now I’m plotting where to put habitats, and what to purchase! I’m ruined!! 🤣🤣
Fantastic little Jurassic Park reference there at the very end, Bravo Clint
YES! So glad to see this wonderful species get this much deserved attention! Do more day geckos!
Just caught a 2-3 ft rosy boa. He’s been very friendly and inquisitive, trying to explore. I can send you a photo if you like
I’ve been looking at these on Josh’s frogs for a while now! So excited to see a video on this.
