  • So I thought I'd document the first week of owning a Mniarogekko Chahoua, a reptilian resident of New Caledonia. If you've ever owned a Crested Gecko or Gargoyle Gecko you may find this one interesting.

    When your gecko is so fancy, it needs a human glass to drink water...

  • @yeseniaquinones8497
    @yeseniaquinones8497 7 років тому

    Glad you enjoyed your first week with your new gecko! I have a name suggestion: Bough, a thin tree branch, like in the nursery rhyme Rockabye Baby. I figured, since the type of gecko you have is naturally found on tree branches and it loves the tree branch in its tank

    from google searching this gecko, i was a little skeptical on its looks, thinking it looked kinda ugly... but now seeing it in action, its actually really cute!

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  7 років тому +1

      haha when i first showed my family a pic of a chahoua they were like :S ew why? but actually yeah they're really sweet, and although their skin can make them look rough, they're really soft like a crested gecko :)

    One eternaty later..LOLROFLOL>..you have great humour!!!LOL And I really do love the way you add to your vids!! Where does one find one of these? I would love one...but not sure they are here in Canada. Looks like it has both crested food and live too. Anyway, I thought I would tell you I now have 2 babies from my leopard gecko pair. And they are SO CUTE!! They look alike, even though from 2 different egg batches. So daddy is dominant:) I took pictures, so will try to post them for you. It is all I will try to hatch for now. I am keeping the first baby, and will find a GOOD home for the second one. Maybe keep both!:) I love critters...especially those that don't make me have asthma attacks. . Oh, my crestie lost his tail....oh NO! But, he is doing fine. I do find he does not climb as well anymore however. Darn. Was a very strange experience seeing that happen! I was working around the tank and suddenly crestie just freeked out. awwww, I felt SO bad...Thanks for showing us how to do this the right way.:) LOVE IT! As usual

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  7 років тому

      aw thank you so much :D haha im not sure, they seem easier to get hold of in america lol, lots of breeders there Aww how cute! :') I'd love to own an egg and wait for it to hatch out, would be amazing, just waiting on one of my geckos to miraculously lay a fertile egg haha. Sorry to hear about your cresties tail, maybe if you introduce wider cork branches if may be able to get around a bit easier? Maybe worth a try haha :)

    I had a qs, do you give him the cgd and take the food away and feed insects twice a week? The food has the vitamins they need, but is it necessary to dust the insects with calcium with D3 and vitamins like rep-cal herptitive or just dust them with the multivitamin?

      thanks :) and nah, a friend of my dad's had one once, they got it as a hatchling and it got massive, smashed up the house with its tail, was aggressive - i think i'll stick to small geckos haha, plus not to long ago in a shop i put my hand up to the tank of one, and if it wasnt for the glass it would have munched on my hand haha

  • @XwolfbaneXx
    @XwolfbaneXx 7 років тому

    Leopard geckos aren't crepuscular. They are Cathemeral, meaning they are awake during random intervals of the day when it's beneficial to them. There was a paper done on Leopard geckos that has evidence that supports this; as well as those in the military seeing Leopard geckos out and active during the daytime.

  • @JTBReptiles
    @JTBReptiles 7 років тому

    Where did you get it from? My crested gecko is attracted to movement more than scent when live food is involved, so maybe try using tongs to hold a mealworm of something that will wriggle or feed in a box where the crickets can run everywhere. Let me know how you get on!

    • @leopardgeckotalk

    Does anyone know if it is possible to house two blue azures poison dart frogs, a red eyed crocodile stink, and a crested gecko in an 80-gallon tank. If size is the issue what would you recommend and if it's not possible I just wanted to know. Sorry if this is the dumbest question ever. Thanks

    Is this a Mainland or PI type? Looks Mainland to me. We have a PI and it's currently 43 grams. Will not eat anything but crickets which worries us. Have tried all flavors and brands of MRP. Another lizard you might want to try is a Leachie. We have 2 and just loves them to pieces.........Thanks for the video.

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  7 років тому +1

      well any new pet should be kept in quarantine for 9-12 weeks. But it will never interact with my other geckos so as long as i keep my hands clean, and the area around the tank clean, everyone should be fine.
