As someone with a Chinese Cave Gecko, I’m glad to see the love they’re getting! They’re a little less handleable than a Leopard gecko or AFT, but they do start to tolerate handling after a little while. They’re also quite picky eaters, as evident by mine who refuses to eat anything but crickets. But he’s thriving nonetheless and almost always has a chunky belly I wish I could share pics of him on here because he’s a stunner. Any time I show people I pic of him, they’re instantly amazed by his red eyes and bright yellow bands. Easily one of my favourite reptiles I’ve ever seen, and I’m extremely lucky to own one
My personal favorite gecko would be the chameleon gecko. Small as a mourning gecko but calm as a crestie! Also they have absolutely beautiful large green scales and gorgeous patterning!
@@mksmith8288 would you say you notice you have one? considering they're nocturnal, do you see them? can you handle them? I'm trying to decide between leopard and cave
@@lieveheersbeestje099 I do have a cave gecko you don't see them too much. I recommend getting a motion activated camera if you want to see them just out and about. I can handle mine and he doesn't seem too upset by it, typically if I have him out for long he rests on my shoulder. Leopard geckos are definitely more friendly than cave geckos.
I have a Question My day gecko dropped part of his tail can he still climb with part of it gone?? He is having trouble climbing I feel so bad for the little guy please help!!
Honestly I really get that crested geckos are not super smart. When he was talking about cresties, I looked around at my crestie and she just was chilling upside down. Gosh I love them!
Ive ran into wild ones in FL.. They are so god damn mean.. Brave to.. Like dude i can crush you.. Nope dont care i bite you now.. Go away.. Jeez... That look awesome.
Two months ago I bought my leopard gecko Peach (she is a tangerine morph!) from my local owned reptile shop. I’m super happy there are so many resources online and on youtube to teach me more about how to care for her and enrich her life. Peach came to me healthy as can be and she is still very healthy!
Crested geckos are an awesome starter gecko! Good picks! For people who don’t like how Crested Geckos drop their tails, there is an animal called a Sarasinorum Gecko! They are also in the genus Correlophus and dont drop their tails from being frightened. Congratulations on 2 years Adam!👏🎉
Funny, I've watched some of your older videos and it's crazy how much better the audio, the video and filming in general is. You deserve the subs. Keeping rocking man
@@WickensWickedReptiles we love you adam!! keep up being a great caretaker and content creator :) you’ve kinda inspired me to maybe try content creation in the next year or so
I have a lovely gargoyle gecko named turnip, she's my first reptile and honestly as a beginner she's not too hard to keep. I definitely recommend cresties & other crestie sub species!
I have a gargoyle too and I agree virtual cowboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love geckos, the eyes on those Chinese Cave Geckos are absolutely stunning! They're like leopard geckos that went to the dark side 😂 Sith Geckos! 🤣
I just upgraded my corn snake by a lot he was in a 10 gallon and now he's in a huge bin (I dont use rack systems but I keep most of my animals now in bins cus I can get big enclosures for cheaper)
I know not a lot of people are massive fans of them but honestly I live for leachianus geckos! They're just such big floppy wrinkle boys and I dream of owning one! (Also I like having more sassy pets for some reason so an attitude is no problem to me) I have a crestie currently, could honestly just have a room of geckos tbh 😅
Honestly, a leachianus is also one of my dream reptiles. Flippy floppy living sock puppets, which just gives you an excuse to name one after a muppet. Gonzo the Leachie has a nice ring to it.
i love the variety of different morphs for crested geckos & the easy care. I have two baby ones 🤗 & they have long life spans 15-20 years, that’s another plus for me. They can also be kept in smaller bins when they’re younger because it’s easier for them to find their food, they can eat bugs but they are fine with crested gecko powder mix food
Just a suggestion to bump up the quality of your videos (which is already great): Seeing as the majority of the world uses normal units of measurements (Celcius for temp, metric for scale of cages, etc.,) maybe you could put up these measurements on the screen, even if you only talk in freedom units. Seeing as your videos are already pretty edited, I don't think it would be too much of an effort, and people around the world would know what you're talking about without having to translate all the units you mention :)
Loved this video! I really love geckos and I would have loved to have seen coleonyx elegans and aeluroscalabotes felinus as well. I find them both really interesting, but they dont seem to be widely known. You're amazing, love your videos xx
I'm so happy to see the Chinese Cave Gecko on this list! I absolutely fell in love with these guys after seeing them at an expo for the first time. I'll have had mine for a year come February! Also, I've seen some comments about them being picky eaters. I just want to give some opposing info and say mine eats anything I offer him. As long as it moves, he'll eat it.
@@davidlarkin1040 I've had the best luck feeding Dubia roaches. He responds well to them and they have a harder time escaping an insect feed dish. I also recommend getting a black light for viewing since they really only come out at night.
Awww the knob tail is so cute! Those eyes! They kinda remind me of those beanie babies with the HUGE eyes! And the Chinese Cave Gecko looks so, regal and elegant and (I love the eyes) kinda like a tiny wingless dragon!
Nice one putting knob tails at the top, love them. maybe could've lumped the cave geckos in with the other eyelids you mentioned and made space for more mentions, paroedura genus maybe. i think chameleon geckos deserve a mention in the new caledonian gang. and bin p. grandis, klemmeri and a few other small day geckos are in another league. cracking video though
We have 2 male Chinese Cave Geckos in separate enclosures. A forewarning to anyone looking to get these. You can go weeks without seeing them. They do NOT come out during the day at all. You have to wait until the room is completely dark and use a red light to go see them. They don't hide as much with the red light as they do with a white or blue light. We know they are ok when we see that they've eaten their food. Or you can set up a camera to see them at night. That's what we did the first couple of months.
The best type of reptile GECKO! For me at least the worst thing for me I really small and the ones that really catch my eyes are even smaller than that and I'm a bigger guy so I always worry I'm going to hurt them
I adore my leo. She’s genuinely the best leo I could ever ask for. She’s easily becoming one of my best friends ❤️❤️ I missed my dog so my boyfriend actually got her for me while in college. I’ve been wanting a Leo for YEARS now, and I’m so happy to have her
I agree day geckos are amazing, and yeah, good luck catching them if they escape, mine has escaped a few times but luckily he's developed a liking to me and knows who I am, it wasn't always like that though, when I had him as a baby he would just run away from me, but now that he's nearing 10 years old, he's developed a fondness of me and has a personality towards me as well vs other people, I wouldn't trade him for anything, he's been amazing.
Omg the cave geckos are super cool! Video suggestion, because I'll be moving in with my boyfriend and his complex doesn't allow dogs, reptiles that don't mind /like snuggles. XOXO
Another great video as always. Just have a question, are crested geckos easy to handle as well. I often see you with your leopard geckos and others but haven't seen you handle your crested geckos... ❤️🇳🇱
I mean Usually they are easy going, unless u get a sassy one like i did, But especially if u get a baby they will be a little skittish but if you work with them they can make amazing pets!!
I love my cresties! I've had 1 drop his tail. It took literally nothing. One minute he had his tail and the next time I checked on him he turned to frog butt. Looking forward to my first ever breeding project being cresties ☺
I think mourning geckos are really cool. They can eat crested gecko diet, you can keep them in a 5 gallon since they are tiny, they are all female and can breed alone, and they will do great in large groups.
The knob tail gecko looks so cute, oh well let’s start with watching videos before I do anything lol. I have two crested geckos and one leopard geckos currently.
The Chinese cave geckos look so cool! I might actually look into them. The only problem is that my house could get too hot in the summer... and my mom doesn’t like reptiles but I think I could persuade her!
i love my leopard gecko. he is real friendly and chills with me all the time. I do make sure he doesnt drop his tail and just be careful handling them.
Love AFT’s and Leopards, one thing I would note though is that AFT’s are often MUCH pickier than leopards. A lot of them will only eat crickets so it’s important to try to get them eating a variety of foods when they’re very small babies.
I miss my gecko, I sold it to a store since I was moving. I loved him, and would often let him go roaming over the home. Feed him crickets, I loved watching him more than tv. Funny to, I do have geico insurance, but not because of that.
7 reasons why Pictus Geckos are the best geckos, IMO: 1. They are SUCH pretty lizards, no matter which morph you get! 2. They are smaller than a Leo, but not as small as a mourning gecko, so you could comfortably house one in a 10 gal long for it's life (unless you want to spoil it), or 2 females in a 20! 3. They have an average lifespan of 10+ years instead of 15+ years, like a Leo, so if you don't know where you'll be in 15 years, this could be a little bit easier to commit to when getting your first gecko! 4. They're naturally a bit shy, but if you work with them they can be just as social as other types of geckos! Plus they're really docile, even at the beginning 5. They're starting to become really popular, so you could be on the front end of a new gecko trend if you own one! 6. They're great eaters - mine ate all of the mealworms that I put in the tank just in case on the first night! Has been eating mealworms and crickets like crazy ever since! 7. I just wanted to have a seventh haha, but I love my little buddy! He's the best 😁
Don't hand feed. It will make them dependent on it. Just provide multiple food bowls and give them time to settle into the new enclosure. I would limit handling until they feed on their own too.
*Me watching my Leopard Gecko bite the ground where she ate earlier* "Yes, intelligence."
Mine isn’t very smart either
Me watching mine try climbing on a mushroom and fall every time but trying over and over
This got me in tears 🤣
Mine closes his eyes and then launches for his food...he always misses😭🤣
Lol
When he said “super easy” I was like barely an inconvenience
Yesss
I understood that reference
Ryan George, right?
Little geckos are tight!
The screen rant series is underrated
Super easy barely an inconvenience
Me and my crested gecko sitting here listening to him talk about how cool cresties are
hahaha nice

I bet the longer they're in the hobby, the more their personality and diet will be ironed out better.

My personal favorite gecko would be the chameleon gecko. Small as a mourning gecko but calm as a crestie! Also they have absolutely beautiful large green scales and gorgeous patterning!
there bigger then mourning geckoes though, and not by a very small margin, but i do get your point
@@yousufakhtar9995 I mean true they are a bit bigger but still, a tiny gecko you can probably handle as well? You gotta love them
They are actually wonderful I own one too but no one talks about them though
Calm??? My crestie has gotten better but he is a SPAZZZZZ lololll
My favourite is a lemon leopard gecko
Chinese cave geckos look like the Sith Lord leopard geckos
I call mine a goth leopard gecko.
I was just about to say this - they're leopards that went to the dark side - those eyes are just stunning though 😍
Love geckos they are so cute
@@mksmith8288 would you say you notice you have one? considering they're nocturnal, do you see them? can you handle them? I'm trying to decide between leopard and cave

I think mourning geckos are really cool. They can eat crested gecko diet, you can keep them in a 5 gallon since they are tiny, they are all female and can breed alone, and they will do great in large groups.
Yes part two

If you’re on the discord, you get notified before UA-cam does
yep! :)
Well if that ain't the truth I've had UA-cam notify me 6 days after a video has been uploaded
i love reptiles!
Loved this one! I was so wrong, sooo many gecko options! Now to get me a Knob-tail baby.... 🏃♀️
Love my little Pictus Gecko! Would definitely recommend 😁
7 reasons why Pictus Geckos are the best geckos, IMO:
1. They are SUCH pretty lizards, no matter which morph you get!
2. They are smaller than a Leo, but not as small as a mourning gecko, so you could comfortably house one in a 10 gal long for it's life (unless you want to spoil it), or 2 females in a 20!
3. They have an average lifespan of 10+ years instead of 15+ years, like a Leo, so if you don't know where you'll be in 15 years, this could be a little bit easier to commit to when getting your first gecko!
4. They're naturally a bit shy, but if you work with them they can be just as social as other types of geckos! Plus they're really docile, even at the beginning
5. They're starting to become really popular, so you could be on the front end of a new gecko trend if you own one!
6. They're great eaters - mine ate all of the mealworms that I put in the tank just in case on the first night! Has been eating mealworms and crickets like crazy ever since!
7. I just wanted to have a seventh haha, but I love my little buddy! He's the best 😁
Would have included gold dust day geckos standings day geckos and peacock day geckos as honorable mentions. Super colorful and underrated.
this is my fourth time watching this and its still very interesting
thankss o much for watching!
@@WickensWickedReptiles i got a african fat tail partly because of this vid ( this video got me hooked then i did research)
Me on my way to hand feed my first crestie I got at Christmas. “ this was supposed to be easy lousy gecko” 😂
Don't hand feed. It will make them dependent on it. Just provide multiple food bowls and give them time to settle into the new enclosure. I would limit handling until they feed on their own too.
So funny I was searching this the other day; best pet geckos. So thank you so much for this video
