Chahoua are my favorite. All my females are out during the day basking and I love seeing them. My leachie is a sweetheart and I’ve worked hard on interacting with her so she’s very friendly. Love them both! Great stuff man
I have both. I just got my leachie and I asked the breeder for the nicest liechie he had and he gave me one. She is the sweetest gecko, just like a little puppy. No aggression at ALL. My daughter and I just had a discussion about which was a better pet, and we decided they were about equal. I will say that her nails that while her nails don't hurt, they do dig into to my clothes which makes her hard to move. I loved both. But I also really love my cresties I have 27 of them and 1 leachie, and 1 chewy.
27 is almost too many for me, but you buy one then you need a specific mate, then you get another, and you get a different mate or two. I'm beginning to realize it just doesn't end lol @@Dakotahblueexotics
I got a male adult leachie a few weeks ago and I am obsessed with him! I only had gargoyles and cresties before. He is so active at night and actually very handleable. I just got him a girlfriend today along with a couple chahoas. One of the chewies was jumping like crazy and the other was super chill. They are a lot smaller than I expected, the ones I got are supposed to be adults but they look smaller than my gargoyles.
@Dakotahblueexotics thank you! That's what I thought.. idk maybe the guy kind of scammed me. He said they were proven breeders. The leachie I got from him is definitely an adult at least. He made a big deal about giving me such a good deal that he was essentially giving away a female chahoua. I paid 2300 for a female leachie, 2 female chahouas and a male chahoua. I feel like it's not the worst deal even if the chahouas are not adults yet. They are about the same length as the gargs, my gargs are just chunkier.
My gargoyles and my crestys are out on and off all day. They watch my other pets. They have 36L x 18 x 24 tall terrariums and use all of their space. Each also have a basking corner spot at 80 to 82 and use them routinely.😮 top of enclosures are 80 desscending to 74 at the bottom. And the far end sometimes is 70 to 72 but we rarely see them using that corner area unless chasing their food.
I think both is the answer. I don't own a leachie yet, but...they are both awesome. I have held a leachie. I hadn't held a chewie until my husband bought me an adult trio (who are no longer a trio). :-P
Does anyone know about the 4 clawed gecko? I bought one at an expo, i was told they are the poor mans leachie. They look pretty similar. Im not finding many videos or info on them.
Leaky-anus is how I heard them referred. When an experienced breeder told me it’s the only animal that ever made him gag, I chose the chewie😅 Still want a leachie down the line though. And a giant leaf tail.
I dig chiewies alot, but breeding them is a pain for me personally 😅 though I haven't breed leachies until 2024 so maybe I'll say the same about them lol.
@@Dakotahblueexotics you and me both !!! Well I haven’t bred either yet , was it hard to pair your chewies ? All my stuff is like 18 months old, leachies and chewies ….. Iv been holding off because I keep worrying about them killing each other 🥴🤷🏻♂️ they both have there pluses i suppose…. My leachies are nice and all , never bit me 🤷🏻♂️ but they don’t move !!! My chewies are all over the enclosure day and night . There always up to something 😂
Please upgrade your encosure before buying animals, i have just watched your room tour and I know you can do more for your leachies, in that video you kept it in like a 18 inches tall, they need at least 36 inches, they are big... Show the right way pls and not the underrequired as a youtuber. Ty
Why not have both? I have 4 Crested, 1 Gargoyle, 1 Chahoua and 1 Leachie. My Chahoua and Leachie are new and babies so I don't know what they're like yet as big adults. My Leachie was almost double in cost then any other gecko I have lol
I just really can’t imagine not buying both but i mean honestly though just all the New Caledonian gecko species just look so flipping good 😎
Very true!
Brother 1 gecko price
If you had to pick tho which one are you getting? I was sold on the leaches till I heard leaking leachie lmfaooo

I've noticed my chewies bask in the UVb daily

Now that's a good amount of geckos!

Ive always wanted a leechie thank god i watched this because you definitely convinced me id be better off with a chahoua
Cool video!
Thanks!
I need a chahua

They shouldn't be smaller than Gary's for sure if they are adults

You said he is active at night , does he wake up during your sleep?
@peterhasbun7661 nope! My geckos are in the room attached to my bedroom though so they're not right by me. I don't think they're loud though.
I saw a dude at an expo he had him on his shoulder the while time, nor clawing at him or shitting in him. Pretty relaxed.

I own 3 different locals of leachies love handling them
Massive poops is big DQ. Let's go with the chahoua.
Yap, getting a leachie from Craig List. I saw it and it was actually not leachie, it was Halmahera Gecko(Gehyra Marginata)😅
You need to do a head to head with Leo’s and cave geckos
That's the next episode
Wait I just got a. Baby leachie for a good few weeks, he never diarrhea though, he only have small dried turd every morning is that normal?
I think both is the answer. I don't own a leachie yet, but...they are both awesome. I have held a leachie. I hadn't held a chewie until my husband bought me an adult trio (who are no longer a trio). :-P

You can find decent deals at reptile expos!! Both excellent geckos!!🦎
Yea i got a leachie for $200 at the expo last week
Hello brothers 1 gecko price
Leaky-anus is how I heard them referred. When an experienced breeder told me it’s the only animal that ever made him gag, I chose the chewie😅
Still want a leachie down the line though. And a giant leaf tail.
Also I feel like uroplatus fimbriatus can give the leachie a run for Its money in overall awe factor and size, maybe not girth, but the eyes….
Bro , I have multiple of both , personally I don’t think there’s a comparison 🤷🏻♂️ chewies are wayyyyyyy ducking cooler 🤷🏻♂️
I dig chiewies alot, but breeding them is a pain for me personally 😅 though I haven't breed leachies until 2024 so maybe I'll say the same about them lol.

Territorial exactly ❄️ 🕊️
Yes not aggressive just don't want people in their home lol
✋Hell no! 🚫 Clever lizzards in the goofy way 😄
Leachie is slightly easier in my opinion as think chahoua if get calcium wrong or too less you will noticed it.
Both sheets, go for Tokay.
A real one! 🤘
Leachies are the best geckos 🙂
They're pretty rad

1:30 must have missed that part bud, seasons in 2 weeks 😅
The best pet gecko? Ew! None! 😂😂 (mostly joking). chahouas would be my pick!
