How old is the baby gecko?
Not sure my friend gave her to me for Christmas
Also for everyone watching. Please understand that some geckos will never be super calm or enjoy holding. If you’re getting a reptile you need to be ready to accept whatever personality it will have.
I agree!
Ya
Exactly ((: I have a leopard gecko named goku and I’ve had him since he was a baby and he usually doesn’t like being held for a long time but for short amounts of time he doesn’t mind and he really likes roaming around on my bed (with supervision obviously)
Yeah, one of my geckos loves to be held, but the other one doesn’t tolerate it. So, I can definitely say that there is a difference in personality.
Mine (his name is jellybean :> ) doesn't seem to mind and sometimes appears to enjoy being out to explore since we bring him outside sometimes (with the proper precautions ofcourse) and he just goes around licking everything and sometimes making himself comfy under something soft, but he will get skittish after long periods of time. Another interesting thing I noticed about my gecko is that he was "potty trained" since we got him and always, always poops in the same spot and never when he's out of his tank (only once, and I believe i took him out just when he was about to go so 🤷)
Staring at the grub for ages trying to decide if it's food is a universal gecko mood
Typical gecko 😂
Yep
100%. My gecko sometimes decides, “This things curious, I’m bored so I’m gonna watch flail around in the tongs.” And sometimes she’ll straight up eat the tongs like cmon Toffee. 😂
@@Everettalla my gecko sometimes does the same thing and it so funny he just stares at it then when he strikes he bites the tongs 😂
@@Everettalla my gecko is named Rex 😊
“The gecko has no sense of direction, or you know, self preservation” I have never heard a truer statement about handling leopard geckos 🤣
"active at night" My little girl: SO ITS 2 PM TIME TO RUN AROUND
That's exactly how my gecko is
One of my geckos comes out every time I'm in my room. She will sleep out in the open and get excited when I come in. She's the most social of all my gecks
SAMMMEEEE
Really? 😂 all of mine sleep throughout the day haha
@@leopardgeckotalk most of mine sleep through the day. One thinks I have food sometime around 3pm always. And my girl Nala is always running out if I'm in the room and looking up at me. She always wants to be around me. It's adorable
Baby leopard geckos can be so cute and so FRUSTRATING by just using objects wrong.
Mealworm bowl = bed
Water bowl = toilet
Cold hide = hide from spooky human
Heating = yes lets sleep in the cold all day and go basking at night.
So true! Even with African Fat Tailed Gecko babies!
well leopard geckos are most active at night so the last one makes sense a lik
Ikr
My gecko would soak his toes in his water dish before a shed so he never had stuck shed. I'm literally astonished he did that.
Mine is sleeping in his calcium dish lol
Diego looks absolutely giant compared to this little guy on that one shot about handling
Oh shoot, I got one a week ago and named him Diego. Maybe I had unconsciously picked up the name from this channel?
@@FangsLegs me too 😂😂😂
This babe seems very friendly. My advice, don’t give up if they aren’t approachable at first. Our Leo didn’t seem to be interested in us and suddenly he couldn’t get enough. He sees us and begs to come out 😊He loves to sit on top of people’s heads, of course we always have more than one person around when he goes up just in case.
She know she's been having leopard for years
I loved it when I got my baby leo. It took some time and patience and it even "squeaked" at me. But now, the handling has become easier and it has started to meet me at the front of the enclosure and try to come out.😊❤
Mine still squeaks sometimes bc he learned that I come to his tank when he squeaks, I’m nervous that he’s hurt, so now at 10pm right when I’m falling asleep, he squeaks so I check on him and he’s at his little door, cute but annoying at times :)
They're so cute!! I'm so excited to see their progress and growth.
Thanks 😊😊
Ru afraid to misgender a gecko
@@peterhollister4516 Just doesn't feel right to say "it". To me.
@@Aaren6 weird
@@Aaren6 well IT is just an animal so "it" is probably the best
We got two Leos a couple of weeks ago and just have been watching your videos. I love them so much. You’re so nice to listen to and watch!
Aww sweet 🥺😊
@@leopardgeckotalk hows diego
I'm getting a leopard gecko, a 5 month old male, I'm so excited! We are just sorting out last touches, setting up our UVB lamp etc. He is THE CALMEST gecko I have EVER held. He literally doesn't care who you are, he loves being handled and I just think its so cute!
OMG SO CUTE. I really hope this baby heals your heart.
This just shows me how much my 9 month Leo, Bernard, has grown since I got him!!! So much calmer and Bigger now. I love reminiscing about baby Bernard with your new gecko. 🥰
I remember when I got my leopard gecko it looked just like it, Leopard geckos are so cool to watch get bigger, Hope you will have fun with this little guy :)
Thank you Incognito
After a year of hesitation and preparation I Finally bought my first reptile a snow baby leopard gecko thank you for all the information you post it really has helped me a lot.
i just got my leopard gecko today! shes called Koda , and you're tips, tricks, ideas and more really helped me in the past months before i got her and i'm so so sooo thankfull for that. ^^
This is so much good information. I am getting my baby leopard gecko next week and I’m so glad I found your videos!
Thank you! I just got 2 baby female blood infernos. One born September 2022 the other October 2022. My first babies ever! Thank you for all the time you take to teach us
Found your channel a while back, has really improved my husbandry, have had my leopard gecko since October. Very informative but in a fun relatable way :)
Awww! This brings me back to when my Allie and Rex were babies! Your channel was actually really helpful when I first bought them, I'm so glad I found you a couple years ago!
I can't wait to see how much it will grow its adorable
Getting ready to pick up my baby! Waiting till he's 15g and I am so excited I could scream!
The leopard gecko: when do these stairs end😂😂😆😆😅
Aww I have one as well I’ve had her for about a year now I would definitely recommend to get one for a beginner reptile 🦎
A tip for easy cleaning is to place a small piece of napkin of paper towel where you notice them pooping. This makes it much quicker and easier without having to move everything around to grab the towel underneath. It also means you go through paper towels at a fraction the rate.
Yeah I was going to do that but the gecko seems to like to just go in various places in the hide 🙈 can’t make up it’s mind lol
I forgot how energetic baby geckos are!
Little friend is so adorable.
Sitting within a little pet fence is helpful cuz they can get off of you and explore and come back to you as they please. Plus if they dart, they cant get away. I've personally waited some months before starting to handle them, but that's just me cuz I didn't want to have to remove hides and stuff to grab at them. I wanted a slower more positive relationship after they get comfy and more curious about me.
This little guy is so cute!! Oh how I dream of having a baby leopard gecko one day. I'm not sure why it fascinates me so much but I'm REALLY excited for more videos of this little one because as time goes on they will get slowly bigger and looking back at the very beginning will be so heartwarming!! Also may I add that I love the amount of variety you're feeding?? I just know the little bugger is gonna live a happy life with you
I relate so personally to this comment for some reason
This video is so helpful! I’m getting a new baby leopard gecko very soon and this is really helpful. I just hope all goes well because I got a 25 gallon tank and I hope that the gecko won’t be too intimidated. Great video as always!
So excited to see their new tank build!
I was no nervous with my first baby I took so many small steps in the handling process it took forever for me to hold him confidently outside the tank. They really do feel so fragile and fast I admire your confidence.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 I NEEDED THIS VIDEO you don’t even understand!! Love it! Been dealing with my little lady and she’s coming around to responding to my voice. Shes a monster when eating though, so cute 😭 all the luck always!
Aww I’m glad it’s helped. Yeah I love their enthusiasm when hunting ☺️☺️
They are so adorable! I'm so excited to watch them grow🥰
Thank you 😊
Isn't it a leopard gecko...
@@tbltpianoandmidis383 Yeah, I just prefer to say “They” instead of “It” because I’m unsure if they are a female or male leopard gecko.
@@Idontknow-nz1ml yeah, I get it. I'm used to calling animals an it xD
@@tbltpianoandmidis383 Yeah sometimes I do to :)
Awwwwww.
Thanks for all the information. My friend just got a baby gecko and I told them to start watching your videos!

I just adopt a baby, 1month 3 week old, from a petshop, now i start learning from your channel, thank you

So cool! i got my first Leopard Gecko last Saturday and she's around the same size!
Thank you so much for the video, this was very informative. I've been thinking of getting one in about 5 months or so and I just want to be as prepared as possible to be a good Gecko Dad :)
Such a good eater!
these are my favorite videos!
So cute 😍
I got my first leopard gecko around the same week as you!! So I’m very excited for you to be able to kind of guide me if I need help.
Hi I love your videos so much my lepord gecko died the 28th may 2021 and she was only 6 moths your videos make me smile! Dont stop!!
Awwwwwww I’m dead, so cute!!!!!
Thanks for uploading this video! I would love to get a gecko in a couple of years, and this was very helpful.
Such a pleasure to watch this channel 👍❤🦎😁
Aww so cute huii
I bet their pattern is gonna be soooo pretty when it’s full grown. Gosh I remember when mine was that small. He was so tiny and cute. He’s still cute, but he’s all grown up now.
He/she is sooooo cute
Aww how cute!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am a very, very big fan of you ❤️
I have that same thermometer gun. It is awesome!
First week with my baby gecko! I’m learning a lot. It just started eating last night but only interested in mealworms ! Like you said it is an adjustment for a first reptile owner as an adult 🦎😝
How long did it take to get your new leo eating, im worried ive had mine two days and he isnt interested in food at all
This remonds me of when I first got my shy lil girl Yoshi. Unfortunately young me made the mistake of handling her wayyy to much right off the bat, which caused her to be shy, but she is still super freindly nowadays
So cute omg!!!!!!😍☺️😊
Thanks I just hatched some
I just got my first gecko Sunny on Monday and yours could be a twin to mine, so cute :)
oh my i just got little baby/teenager leopard geckos yesterday, they’re both a few months old and are pretty tiny. One’s albino! The albino one is named Star, the “regular” one is named Forest
My little leo is up in the morning all the time
This would’ve been so helpful when I got my leopard gecko! I had to have a look at your super old videos 😅
Thank you so much!
I’m buying a baby white leopard gecko today to replace my hermit crab (which sadly died today).
I didn’t know what to do for food. This was very helpful!❤️
aren't leopard geckos just, the cutest?
I have a Leopard gecko 🦎 and I named him Rocko
Awww
I know you will be a good source when I get a baby leopard gecko!
Cute
I recently got my first ever leo and it looks just like that one!!
I want one so bad 🥺
Congrats! Got my first one about a month ago, he started out that tiny but they grow quick!
Ooo! I have 2 adult Leo’s and I recently got another baby! Also have a beardie called Simba 🦁
Congrats! I got my first leo a few months ago and I love him so much❤️
Awwww 🥰
Yeay!
