    my opinion is this guy is the best gecko keeper / breeder there is in America he cares about his clients and he cares about the people that he outreaches to great job and keep up the great work PS if anybody is interested in a crested gecko I would definitely 100% recommend this person

    Thanks for this. I've had a baby crested for 3 weeks and held it twice so I could put him/her in the critter keeper and clean the tank. It's so fast and jumpy and just wants to run away so I'm looking forward to it being more tame and bigger to make it easier and less stressful for both of us.

      No breeder has geckos that ALL have their tails. Some drop them more easily than others. If your gecko still has its tail, it's a mix of good care and luck. Some people take amazing care of their geckos and they still drop their tails.

      Let him get used to you and give him time. Gently prop your hand under him, while having a hand close to him, this might want to make him climb higher. I know this in a year ago but hopefully you still don't have this problem

My gecko is very easy to handle: He´s calm, likes to jump sometimes and does not run at all, he just likes to get up to the highest place just as explained here. BUT the issue is getting him out. He does not come onto my hand voluntarily, he scoots away from me if I get too close. Jjust as soon as I get him out he seems fine. What is that about? So: Shold I get him out to get him used to me? Even though it meens scooping him up despite his flight reflex? Thanks!

      Hi! No, I did not. We actually decided to not take him out anymore because we did not want to stress him every time. There was no progress after six weeeks, so we decided on giving him time to adjust to us just from us cleaning hin terrarium, feeding him, spraying his tank and so on. He also pooped on us almost every time we got him out and thogh I know it can be just ja movement/temperature thing, I cannot rule out the possibility that this also was stress related. @@hiitsbryx9874

    Hi, I know this video is a year old so I'm not sure if you'd see this, but I've had a crested gecko for about 6 years now, he was fairly young when I bought him but not a complete baby, but he's never been handled. At the time I feared that stressing him out would make him drop his tail as I wasn't sure how much pressure would make him do so as well as my dog eating him. Do you think it would be possible to handle him all these years later or just to leave him as that's what he's used to? Thanks a lot and nice gecko's!

    How old should mine be when I start feeding live insects?

      You dont have to feed them live insects. But you can.

      I started feeding mine insects after 2 days of getting him (he is 4-6 months right now). I would just put one in his tank and the next morning it would be gone. They are good hunters so its good for them. Also like others said you don't have to feed them live insects but it is recommended to feed them live insects at least twice a month. Also I'm pretty sure there is a type of pangea with insects in it so that's also an option. 😄

    What does it mean when my gecko is gasping and shaking his head when I am feeding him. (He acts just fine with I play with him. I have him for 3 weeks and he is 25 days old. )

    They way this guy handles his geckos stresses me out. I can only imagine how that gecko is feeling. I can't say I recommend this as a good video on how to handle crested geckos.

    I'm ok with handling him, the problem is picking him up! He is so fast and jumps off me back into the viv even if I do get him. I've watched videos on the best way to pick them up, but he is so fast! I've had him about 3 months and he is 2.

    • @TikisGeckos
      @TikisGeckos  6 лет назад +1

      Yeah I hear you! In a couple clips I show how i pick them up. I put my hand in front and touch them from behind. That usually gets them to climb onto my hand and from there you hand walk. Might need to be quicker for a fast one though

    my female crestie likes to crawl at my face and I always thought that she just hated me... and can you do a video on crestie sounds and their meanings, cause sometimes my crestie chirps in her enclosure and I don’t know if she’s in distress or wants me to hold her, I just don’t know.. THANKS !! Nice Video !!

    The background music really reminding me of Xenoblade Chronicles X. It was bugging for a while that I couldn't remember what it was, so I thought I'd leave a comment for anyone else who is like, "Wait... what does that remind me of?!"

    What crested gecko should I start with baby,juvenile,adult?

    • @miriandias8547
      @miriandias8547 5 лет назад +1

      It honestly is up to you and your budget! Baby and some juvenile geckies are smaller and are more inclined to having smaller terrariums. Bigger tanks are usually more expensive. They also have a life span of about 10 years so if you get a baby it is more about comitment. If you choose that you dont want one then you have to find a good home for it. If you dont care what home it ends up in,welllll you probably shouldn't have it.

    My baby Gecko has been gaining weight pretty well and gained 2 grams since I got him a bit ago, but he just lost a gram (went from 8 to 7). Should I worry at all?

    • @TikisGeckos
      @TikisGeckos  6 лет назад

      As long as you are doing everything right I wouldn't worry. Also sometimes the those gram scales are not too accurate. Also gotta take into consideration if he ate, pooped, etc when you weighed him..

    • @jarhead3376
      @jarhead3376 6 лет назад
