Chahoua Geckos, everything you need to know!
I couldn't give up any of my dragons not for anything I give all of them all the love I can I'm here 24/7 with them so you know go out for a couple of hours but I give them all the love I can give them there's one thing I would never ever do is give them I know sometimes like you you thought you weren't given them enough love and you've given to give her away so I'm retired now from work so my dragons get all all my attention my wife don't like it tough I love them she gets just as much loving as what my dragons do and my dogs must've broke your heart when you gave your female beardy away cos I know when when my dog my dog died at Christmas absolutely broke my heart you know I'm a bloke shouldn't cry but I just bone my eyes out every now and again because of it in children's home and then into the army you know I thought was quite a hard person but know what I mean by underneath all of it is a Magento is a lamb maybe somewhere under there I've got a heart after all start yesterday I was reading about bearded dragon over ear and it bulk me eyes out no reason just bulb me myself
It was a tough decision, but as you heard in the video, I did it for her. At the time I couldn't give her what she deserved.
@Midwest_Lizard_Mom I don't Mount I don't mean what I said to be rude to you Susie it's just the way I feel I wouldn't give any of dragons meme everything to me even if I had heart heart ship what we call it I'll struggling I would still find a way to keep them and I can understand why you're done it because you were more at work beauty up with me is I could get keeping getting my son to come and look after him because he has disabilities so so he could look after him if I went to work but some of my bosses are bad I really good you know I could like break time go home dinner time go home in the afternoon when we have a break I could go home and check them immigrate time to suppose that is the difference between me living in the UK and new living in America you yeah most of my jobs I've had been literally just down the road on the industrial state of what you call them over there don't get me wrong I love what you do to pieces and I would never do anything to stop our little friendship we got at least I hope we're friends is John signing off from the UK now about 7:30 in the morning here raining windy and the Seas a little bit rough xxx
@johnthayre8088 - thanks for the clarity, but I wasn't offended. Just explaining why I did.
What can I Susie I tried feeding my beardies other types of food like squash and other bits and pieces but they don't eat it they just eat their wild rock you with a little bit of beep on it and a little bit of Kelsey powder and they eat they're insects that's it froggially a bit of carrot same but they're all eat a little bit of carrot but maybe one or two little bits and that is it they won't eat anymore of bell peppers the same they just a little bit and they won't eat no more never tried cucumber on them they bad straw bit strawberries I don't give them very often very rare but one slither and that's it they don't eat anything else the main thing is their greens there were rocket I don't know what you call it in America but agree we call it white rock wild rocket but that's all they were mainly eat obviously they eat their worms and they jumpers and whatever I doobie Roach is xxx
Didn't realise you had other lizards as well not just fought you had bearded dragons
I have 4 geckos, 1 snake, and 1 beardy.
@Midwest_Lizard_Mom hi Susie it's John from UK yeah don't like snakes never will don't like spiders or anything creepy Crawley like that don't mind repeated dragons never had a gecko don't know how to look after I suppose going on the internet and reading more about them I could get on with one I got two rescues for my son woman threaten to put them down the toilet and drown them when she walked into the pet shop where we were who just deal with Reptiles and she got reported for what she said to the what we call the RSPCA what she fought she was buying when she bought them from someone else was was two females two males in the end it all worked out they were all males she was going to kill them and me in the wife walked in while we why we were there when she was talking about it and my pet shop owner Donna turn and said do we want him so he run harrier my son and he's misses and they took both for them in and they are surviving to this day and they have grown into lovely little geckos I think it's what you call leopard geckos I'm not sure yeah I think the leopard geckos and my son Harry gave one to my son-in-law because he lost his bearded dragon last year she died on him I think he used to call a flops she was about 19 years old he's very much like me in the way of that men shouldn't cry but you know broke she broke his heart when she died yada from a little baby stop waffling on because I just keep on going and going I would love you wait to see some more of your videos on I would geckos or on the bearded dragons thanks xxx
Just finished watching your video Suzy it's John from UK now I quite agree with you no one should be feeding mice to bearded dragons because they don't eat them in the wild I have seen a few other videos on here one is an American lad I don't know he's coming boys name is he feder he had not he didn't feed it but he put a video up of someone feeding another lizard to a bearded dragon which I thought was very disgusting I've also seen a few other videos of pure pinkies being fed to female bearded dragons it's so wrong that RUclips allow people to put things up like that one here I know the the ladder was watching you someone gave them a bearded dragon another lizard that was taken straight off because of the amount of complaints are really dont think people should be allowed to put anything or showing of a mice or anything like that up on RUclips don't mind eggs being given to him or watching like the little insects being given English bloke over here he's a student he's got all the degrees in looking after Reptiles and he got demonetized just because he fed Cockroaches or whatever they were doobie roaches to one of his dragons they said it was cruel but the same like he said there was another video on the bloke showing in America shown exactly the same thing with Kelsey powder on the insects and his beardy dragons eating them stay warm and your little Dragons xx
I think I know which content creator you're referring to. He said something about that in a vid. So ridiculous he got in trouble for feeding insects. And yeah, I showed part of the chase, but left out the catch because no one needs to see that. So sad.
@Midwest_Lizard_Mom hi really don't know yins and out of RUclipsr don't really care I don't do it myself but I just watch but they seem to have rules for one rules for another yeah if you do something wrong you get demonetized or whatever it's called for doing something silly like the English blow over here he's like a professor
The bloke's been to college learn all these degrees and everything else and yet he gets demonetised just because he's put Kelsey powder on Beatles or whatever it was and fed them to his beardy dragons you know you don't seem right
Adorable 🥰
Great video! If you can, could you do a brumation video for leopard geckos?
@chrisg2419 - i don't have exp with leopard geckos to make a vid; otherwise, I would happily! Here's a vid link to Leopard Gecko Talks' video on leopard geckos brumating. I hope you find this helpful. ruclips.net/video/Phj2zSPn8Zs/видео.htmlsi=paWNzlTMYot61M6v
@Midwest_Lizard_Mom ok, no problem. I just thought I'd ask 🙂
Thanks for asking! I like getting questions and requests! Keep them coming! 😀
@@Midwest_Lizard_Mom will do 👍
Another really interesting video
It's not often I catch them doing this! Geckos are usually sneaky.
@@Midwest_Lizard_Mom you did good 😊
@@DaveBayliss-v6d thanks!
Thanks for this, great vid and clear info! :D
Yay! I'm glad you saw it! And thanks for the questions! 😀
Just finished watching your video absolutely brilliant and I've just joined what you just recommended on your bed the bearded dragon whatever we call them yeah mine slowed down all my dragons are slowed down even my monitor lizard has slowed down but they will not go to sleep they just stay up they they go and have a who seem to be just lately sitting in the hot hot area of their tanks and not in the cold I got mistank who like sleeping you know little cave but the VIP below has got its spotlight on underneath the basking light underneath which warm what warms her up to you when I when she first gets up you're going to sit under her own basket light should be an absolute nutter running backwards and forwards up and over everything in the cage for about a couple of hours after she warmed up and then she'd just settle down and overhead bop at the boys all the boys bop back at her miss Freddie a miss tiny they do exactly the same one of them just keeps going around circles in the cage up and over things then she just sit there and Ed bop at the boys winding them up and then I get them out they run up and down the the lounge about a good 20 minutes and then they go back in their cages each of them do it and I've got old froggy he's well he's just come on leaps and bounce he's going all over his cage now he comes out goes up and down the lounge loves his cuddles snuggles in goes to sleep and then I put it back and he's off again❤❤❤
I'm glad to hear Froggy continues to improve!
Thanks for sharing all these insights. I just adopted my first dragon from a family that didn’t have time for him. So, this was really helpful!
I'm glad! And congrats! 😀
Why are your Beardies on a Matt ? They ned without a doubt a Sand / clay Substrat of minimum 4inch. They love to Dig or they dig befor Brumation and The Femals Dig for Eggs.. I know its easier to clean them on a Matt but thats not the right way... i also have over 10 Beardies and other Reptiles. But your Beardies are Gorgeous ! Maybe you can give me an example why you use Matts. Greetings from Switzerland
A couple reasons, yes the cleanup is easy. Keeping your dragons enclosure clean is good for them. When I had a female I had a dig box I put her in when she was gravid. I have rough surfaces and stones in his enclosure, which helps to wear down his nails naturally and his pores. Also, if they get sick with parasites or mites, you'd want to empty the enclosure until they're well. I'm not against loose substrate, I just don't have it. I may do a dig box at some point.
Mine is addicted to RUclips
Lol! Any fave channels?
Mine is sketchy.hes 18 mth old, I was told, and It's been 3 weeks. This video was super helpful.
Awesome! Have you been seeing improvement?
You got a new sub! TYSM I’m getting mine tomorrow and can’t wait!
Yay! Super exciting! One you have a beardy and grow that bond, you'll always want one. IMO Congrats!!!
@ TYSM! I’ve been watching all your vids and you’re amazing! I thought you were a reptile vet 😹
@IceLEMONN_ - awe. I'm not a reptile vet. Just sharing helpful stuff about reptiles.
I hope you find it helpful with your new friend!
Thank you for advice I just got my dragon last month,This advice was helpful.
Glad to hear it!!! And I'm so excited for you. Dragons are like lizard dogs... tiny though.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
And thanks for watching! 😀
Any tips please Yoda won’t eat butternut squash I have warmed it up mashed it and grated it he will not eat any ideas please 😊
Have you tried other squash? They may not like that one. Which is surprising, because it's sweet. But my dude doesn't like fruit, so it may just not be there preferred taste.
And have you tried using a peeler like I did in the vid? And breaking it into small pieces? You can also try putting bee pollen on their salad if they're being picky.
@@Midwest_Lizard_Mom hey we don’t get as much chose here in New Zealand I have also tried pumpkin but he’s a picky bugger
@@Midwest_Lizard_Mom yup unfortunately I have tried peeling this and copying your vid but to no success 😔
Have you tried bee pollen? Or putting bugs on the salad?
I wonder why zucchini isn’t good for more than once a week?
I'm not sure, but I can try to find out.
Getting beardie today. Great video. Thank you!!!!
Thanks so much. And congrats on getting a beardy! Will this be your first? Take tons of pics. They grow fast!
❤ Omg sooo cool ❤, which name has he/she ?
His name is Flaco. He's a hognose snake.
Too cute!
Gorgeous 😊
Pooka…wasn’t that what Harvey the Rabbit was?
I don't know, but there's a silly cartoon called "Pooka."
Love your hat and costume!!!!😊❤
Hey, thanks!
I got the hat when I attended a tea party for a relative! They had them and I was like.... MINE! Years later, still have it. :)
I bought a bag of frozen butternut squash and defrost it in warm water. Is that ok?
I would recommend fresh, but it will be fine. I haven't defrosted any, so not sure if it will be mushy. Good luck!
@@Midwest_Lizard_Mom she ate it np. It didn't seem too mushy but I'll get fresh and eat the frozen myself 🙂
You can also keep it for emergencies. Sometimes in the winter I have trouble finding good fresh produce.
@@Midwest_Lizard_Mom luckily , a lot of stores around me carry it. I also started growing tortoise/ bearded dragon greens over the summer so I have a good variety for her.
@chrisg2419 - that's awesome!
I love my Bearded Dragon boy he is the sweetest and cutest baby ever.
Awe....
I like the lists!
@SaharaCollins - I'm a list person! You'll notice in my vids, unless it's a silly vid, it'll have a list of some sort. 😀
I did a search for chahoua geckos and youtube gave me this video
Cool! I hope you liked it! I'm planning on making her a bioactive enclosure in the future!
Random fact : Black isn't a color, its a shade
I guess technically that's the definition. But I think many people (myself included) consider it a color. But yeah.... I honestly didn't think about it like that. 🤣
@@Midwest_Lizard_Mom its actually scientifically prooved, not a opinion 😂
@mihailko6828 - Well, it's my favorite shade. 😎
@@Midwest_Lizard_Mom 🤣🤣🤣
Mine can operate a forklift.
Lol!
How long do I wait to handle if i live like 2 blocks away from the pet store i got them from.😂?
@jarrettcrawford3998 - lol! Silly, ok. So they didn't have the trauma of shipping, so that's good. They may be up for it right away, they may not because it's a new environment. If you try to and the run away or act defensive, then go slow. They all have their own personalities. 😀
Thanks for the great information. Was wondering if you could talk about aestivation and brumation please?
Yes! I was thinking of talking about that topic! We're getting into that time of year. Thanks for asking. 😀
Love them all! My question is where did you get the red and black hide? Congrats on 500!
That was custom made by JM Reptile Designs on Facebook.
Thank you for sharing your amazing finds!!! Congratulations on 500 🥳. Awesome tattoo! ♥️
Thanks!
These are so cool! :D your tattoo is so cute! And congrats on the 500 subs! :D
Thanks so much! 😀
I love this and I agree!
When I was getting over my fear of snakes I avoided watching stuff that would scare me. Instead I watched snakediscovery and snakeful grace vids re bites and how to handle and also, how minor they really were. Understanding snakes really helped me to grow to love them. So fear mongering rubs me the wrong way.
Also, nice user name!
I was told not to give my bearded dragon meal worms...but he loves them.
If they're over a year and their temps are right, they'll be fine. I just don't because they're harder to digest and there's other options.
