What a wonderful birthday surprise from the Tokay geckos to me ⚪️⚪️! Looks like we'll be seeing some baby Tokay's too this year! Going to be such an exciting summer! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes friends! I appreciate your support and viewership so much! Don't forget to answer today's question of the day- it's a deep one!
I don't know how to tag people but I hope you see and read my comment that I just left a couple of minutes ago. I too struggle with compliments and basically all nice gestures even when offered by close friends but especially people I don't know.
Happy birthday! And hmmm, I really don't know the answer to that question but I think I'd do the larger enclosure but try to keep it rather close to the enclosure it had and slowly change and add new things.
You Canadians 😅 I have several Canadian friends and I am shocked by how many of you are so polite and humble and can’t take a compliment. TAKE A COMPLIMENT. You are awesome! We appreciate you! Thanks for being so kind and generous! Happy belated birthday!
Oh no! I didn't know it was your bday yesterday. But... HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY 30TH BDAY old man! 🎈 🎂 🎈 I love your new bday shirt! That is pretty darn awesome!
I think larger is always better what ever the reptile is , I like it when they have real plants tons of places to hide as near to nature as possible, I’m ok not handling things much I prefer to just to watch the reptile do it’s thing and be happy even if it’s hiding most of the time lol
I tend to go toward larger enclosures. My needs to interact with the animal are not as important as the animals’ space requirements. All my gargs, chewies, and even leachie are in 18x18x24s (as adults) because I would rather give them more space to get their exercise. I have not yet seen a gecko get a space upgrade and then refuse to eat.
Happy belated Birthday Dayyon 🎂 I love your channel, your awesome creatures & especially your outstanding husbandry 👍👏 I prefer bigger enclosures because it gives the creature the choice of whether to use the space or not. Tiki & Kiki 🦎 yay more eggs......very eggciting 😁
Happy Belated!! I just lost my last Tokay a few days ago, only had him for 7 yrs and it was heartbreaking. I don't suggest anyone ever purchase a wild caught. Too many health issues. I do find joy in your videos, so thank you!
Great video as always Dayyan! I hope you had a great Birthday and that’s a couple wonderful Birthday gifts right there!! :) Also, I certainly feel as though a spacious enclosure is far better for the animals than a smaller one, the benefits for the animals seem to be in favour of a large enclosure, however I do believe that ensuring the enclosure is set up suitably is very important. A bare, large enclosure will be less beneficial than a fully enriched, planted enclosure small enclosure in my opinion. So long as the enclosure is full of opportunities for the animal from climbing opportunities, to hiding areas I do think that bigger will always be better! Perhaps not from a socialisation and interaction standpoint, but certainly from a welfare point of view.
I’ve noticed it’s more about how many hides and how lush the greenery is in a terrarium that dictates behavior. Oddly, my larger geckos (rhacs and gargoyles) they get wilder with more area but lushly planted/more hides. Meanwhile my day geckos get less crazy when they have more space with lush plants and more areas to hide. PSS your friends gave amazing gifts ! Happy bday 😚😚😚
Welcome! Stay true to yourself, post about your passion and be consistent. Try your best to choose a set schedule. Wether thats once a week or once a month. It'd be better to post consistently once a week than to post three videos in a week and not again for 3 weeks. Put a lot of effort into your thumbnails and learn about SEO online :). Best of luck! Enjoy!
Happy belated birthday Dayyan! Wow, I can't believe you're a decade younger than me. I don't get too caught up in specific enclosure sizes. I'm more about creating natural and enriching environments for each animal. I spend a lot of time observing each animal and making changes based on their interactions with their space.
Happy birthday, man! It can depend. If it's a smaller enclosure, if it has time to roam outside of the enclosure sometime then it can work. Usually though, bigger is better with just more hiding opportunities available to them. Especially if you don't plan on handling the animal much so that is its entire world.
Would you consider doing a Tokay gecko taming video? Your interactions with them are so cool. It would be super cool to hear about your journey with taming/ keeping them.
To me giving the animal more space is more important.reptiles do not need socail interaction with us to be healthy so if they tolerate handling it's just a bonus for us. My crested gecko does not tolerate handling at all, and the only thing that bothers me with that is it makes cage cleaning time very difficult, I've had to chase him around the living room more times than I care to admit because getting him out so i can clean his tank is not easy lol
QOTD: You know this is something that worries me to the point of not owning an animal other than my Oliver the cat. Your outcome (with Tiki) is somewhat surprising. But not @ the same time. Less space = more confidence maybe? While you would think more space would = more roaming availability. Very thought provoking, this one.
Happy birthday!!!!!!! And for the question of the day, personally for me I would rather have them in a smaller enclosure and have a better relationship with my animal.
Well happy late bday Dion we love you channel and we think you are a great youtuber in the reptile community keep making great videos and keep up the great work.
I personally feel that the size of the enclosure should be whatever the animal thrives the most in. I played around with a few enclosures for my python and found a larger size with several hides, logs, and vines to climb up made him enjoy his home the most. I love to take time out occasionally but his comfort is my top priority. Also, it's pronounced care-ah 😉 the same way you would say Sara or Tara just with a K!
Happy Birthday, I hope you had a wonderful day. Also congratulations on the eggs, I'm very eggcited 😉😂 to see their progress. I got fish for my new aquarium 3 weeks ago and over the past week 2 of my females of 2 different species have given birth to 13 live babies, I just have 1 female guppie who we think is pregnant. We got a lot more than we paid for and was expecting. My thoughts on the question of the day is, a bigger space is better not just to give the animal space but also to enrich their lives.
Thanks buddy! Trust in yourself! I leave all my oldest videos public. Go have a look and see how I started before getting to where I am at now ☺️. I had to work hard and learn how to edit, etc over time! You got this! If you enjoy making videos, keep it up and you’ll do great things!
Just to tell you I think tokays have some parental care, Back in the 1980's when I lived in Homestead I released some Tokays for roach control. I ended up up with an upstairs male tokay and the dominate male had a harem of three females in the kitchen. They lived behind some cabinets and the females laid eggs in the same spot. There were like 8 eggs in a group when they hatched I assume the females would eat the egg shells. It was a PITA when the house got tented for termites catching every one and some how managing to remove some paneling that had the eggs on it. When those eggs hatched the babies didn't;t touch the shells.One thing I found is never offer live mice to tokays if they are living free roaming in a kitchen. Let's just say monitors are far less messy!
Happy birthday 🎂🎁🎈 Larger tank and although I have to work just that bit harder they still interact with me. Esp the Chahoua who’s in a 24x18x36 inch . Knows the word bugs lol & comes running out . My crested gecko Smudgie who’s in a 18x 18x 24 has a bug net hammock & she knows that I put a few bugs on there for her . She loves leaping on it .
Love your lizards and Gecko Gecko's :) (see what I did there? :)) I used to have Tokay's but my wife now is terrified of them. really any reptile. so your videos help me through my needs.
I feel like the bigger the better and the more naturalistic the better but I have to say when I kept reptiles I was a hands off keeper. I loved watching them do what reptiles do in their natural habitat, I wasn’t interested in seeing them afraid because I was trying to hold them. Nothing against anyone who does like to interact with their reptiles, that’s just me.
Hey hon, I'm right there with you on the compliment thing. Here is something my choir teacher taught me. Maybe being mindful of the following will help you accept compliments. If you respond to a compliment by saying that you don't deserve it, essentially you are disagreeing with that person's opinion of you. Accept the compliment with humility and grace. Maybe even practice accepting compliments. Also holds true for even politely trying to refuse a gift. If you don't accept the compliment or gift or nice gesture, you are rejecting that person. Hope that helps! And I hope you accept the fact that I think you are awesome. And I'm kinda jealous about that amazing sweater...
As also a May birthday, I say it's a good time to be alive! Also, you totally already named her, you just forgot her name. It's Miki. You liked Tiki and Miki. Being honest because that's not the name I came up with and I gave up after you said you named her. I said it should be Moana. Wait... Did I just heard you say that name? Alright, I didn't think you'd already had that name so nevermind. Lol. Also, the size of the enclosure really is determined by how clean I can keep it/work involved in keeping it going. Sometimes you really cut off a slice of too much work for just one animal who might be just as happy with a cozier little enclosure. I need to get a handle on this sometimes because I'll end up with a jumping spider in a 20 gallon enclosure again. That was a little much.
qotd: i think it depends on the individual animal. if they seem happy and outgoing in a smaller tank then I see no reason to move them. however bigger is usually better, so I guess it really comes down to what you think is best for your animals :3

Larger is always better, the interactions with people are a bonus but the reptiles do not need it to be happy
Well said! Thought provoking comment!
Maybe name the female Kiki! Like your friend said instead or Tiki. Tiki and Kiki!
Thats awesome birthday gifts of course the reptiles too

@@Reptiliatus your very welcome 😊
Why tokay geckos are so cute? 😊😊and they are very like to bite someone because to protect them self's
Haha
Happy birthday! I just came over from Wickens Wicked Reptiles video. Your reptiles are gorgeous. I think a larger enclosure is better.
Happy birthday, man!
It can depend. If it's a smaller enclosure, if it has time to roam outside of the enclosure sometime then it can work. Usually though, bigger is better with just more hiding opportunities available to them. Especially if you don't plan on handling the animal much so that is its entire world.
You have so many cool reptiles, but my favorite is definitely the tokay geckos 😁
I need to get better friends! Yours are amazing!! Happy late birthday 🥳
Would you consider doing a Tokay gecko taming video? Your interactions with them are so cool. It would be super cool to hear about your journey with taming/ keeping them.

As long as the gecko is happy it shouldnt matter even if it means taming him all over again
Well happy late bday Dion we love you channel and we think you are a great youtuber in the reptile community keep making great videos and keep up the great work.
Happy birthday my guy!!
Happy birthday, your Tokay gecko gave you a gift. My gift is subscribing to your channel. Happy birthday
Thanks for your support!
Tokay's can get really big, but I dont know if that is environment based. you have a real chance to hand raise those babies though.
I personally feel that the size of the enclosure should be whatever the animal thrives the most in. I played around with a few enclosures for my python and found a larger size with several hides, logs, and vines to climb up made him enjoy his home the most.

Can geckos glue their eggs on cork bark? I have read that they deem it too unstable and don’t choose it.
Happy birthday, I'll be 30 this june. My first bioactive pauldarium is in the making.
