Mourning Gecko Care Guide & Basic Information

- Hello! You've found my quick and simple guide for the care of Mourning Geckos!
In this video, I'll outline some basic information about these animals, and then talk a bit about how I have set up their terrarium.
These animals do particularly well when kept in a bioactive setup with UV lighting. Though this is not a requirement for their survival, they do seem to thrive and breed faster when kept this way. It also adds the additional humidity which is something you will need to pay particular attention to when keeping them.
As you'll also see, feeding these animals is quite easy and inexpensive. They sustain themselves mostly on store bought gecko foods like Repashy, but should also be offered occasional feeder insects like crickets and fruit flies. Doing so will ensure their long-term health and survival.
If kept correctly, Mourning geckos will breed quickly and with little need for any further intervention. They have an incredible ability to reproduce, even when kept separately, so be prepared to have a large colony of geckos on your hands within a few years!
It is worth noting, that due to these factors, these animals are often kept and bred for the use in feeding other, larger lizards. Though my intention has always been to enjoy them as pets and watch their unique and amazing behaviour, what you choose to do is up to you, and I wouldn't judge either way. All animals need to eat.. including me :)
Feel free to read the mourning gecko care guide which I've published to my website for additional information.

I appreciate your continued support, as I work to publish more of these videos, and any feedback is welcome. I generally try to respond to most of it. Even the negativity.... Though you may want to expect that to be returned to you :)

Hey man really great video. I really really want to get some animals for my bioactive terrarium, and I'm thinking these are the ones. I'm just a bit scared to get them, as I'm worried I don't know enough even though I've done a ton of research. I've got a mister, water pools, lots of hiding places, and a light, but is that enough?
These guys are very forgiving in minor mistakes to evironment, just keep their humidity and a good level. They have evolved to live all over the world and are hardy and breed quickly. Theyre a great starter lizard, and it sounds like you already have put more thought into taking care of them than most people do. You'll do fine - you got this!
Hey man, you got any tips on avoiding them from getting out of hand, in the sense of keeping 3 and not having them reproduce too much, can you freeze the eggs or something? Will the mothers die of stress if they can’t find their eggs? Etc
Not really sure how you would stop them from reproducing. I dont think theyre overly attached to their eggs, once they lay them they kinda just leave them to do their thing and hatch on their own, so I suppose you could remove them. A lot of people breed these as feeders for larger animals, so there is that option I suppose. If you didnt want to do that, I guess you could give them away? It takes awhile before you end up with a booming population though. Probably a few years really. Having an excessive amount is not an immediate problem, but probably something you should thinj about in the interest of being responsible.
Just started researching these geckos and wondered if they could eat Pangea instead of Rapashy?
I would imagine theyre pretty much the same thing - full gecko diet. Repashy just seems to be more widely available here, but should be interchangeable.
@ItsAaronRose Thankyou!
@@TheNo1DpsMoira youre most welcome
I just got two hatchlings but one is a lot smaller then the other one. Is it possible for the bigger one to eat the smaller one at this age?
Theyre really tiny when freshly hatched, but Ive never actually seen one eat another. Thats not to say Im 100% certain it isnt possible, but I dont think its likely. The bigger risk is just having the larger one bully the smaller one and nip at its tail. This isnt really something you can avoid though.. just give them ample space and lots of hiding spots. When you get to the eventual point that you have 20 of them in a tank, and more hatching all the time, youre not going to be able to constantly police their behaviour. Best you just learn now not to stress about it so much.

Lol. Allah would disapprove.

Why would you watch if you "hate" it? Pretty weird to watch a video of something you find disgusting and just make ignorant, rude comments about it to the creator who is passionate about these incredible and beautiful animals. Everyone else here loves these animals. They are not insects either. It is a reptile.
Why are you so hate filled? Attitudes of hate and aggression towards our natural surroundings and creatures like these amazing little mourning geckos are exactly why the world is being destroyed. I don't know how you can hate something so beautiful. It says a lot about you.
