  • So I thought I'd document the first week of owning a Mniarogekko Chahoua, a reptilian resident of New Caledonia. If you've ever owned a Crested Gecko or Gargoyle Gecko you may find this one interesting.

    When your gecko is so fancy, it needs a human glass to drink water...

    One eternaty later..LOLROFLOL>..you have great humour!!!LOL And I really do love the way you add to your vids!! Where does one find one of these? I would love one...but not sure they are here in Canada. Looks like it has both crested food and live too. Anyway, I thought I would tell you I now have 2 babies from my leopard gecko pair. And they are SO CUTE!! They look alike, even though from 2 different egg batches. So daddy is dominant:) I took pictures, so will try to post them for you. It is all I will try to hatch for now. I am keeping the first baby, and will find a GOOD home for the second one. Maybe keep both!:) I love critters...especially those that don't make me have asthma attacks. . Oh, my crestie lost his tail....oh NO! But, he is doing fine. I do find he does not climb as well anymore however. Darn. Was a very strange experience seeing that happen! I was working around the tank and suddenly crestie just freeked out. awwww, I felt SO bad...Thanks for showing us how to do this the right way.:) LOVE IT! As usual

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  7 лет назад

      aw thank you so much :D haha im not sure, they seem easier to get hold of in america lol, lots of breeders there Aww how cute! :') I'd love to own an egg and wait for it to hatch out, would be amazing, just waiting on one of my geckos to miraculously lay a fertile egg haha. Sorry to hear about your cresties tail, maybe if you introduce wider cork branches if may be able to get around a bit easier? Maybe worth a try haha :)

    Where did you get it from? My crested gecko is attracted to movement more than scent when live food is involved, so maybe try using tongs to hold a mealworm of something that will wriggle or feed in a box where the crickets can run everywhere. Let me know how you get on!

    • @leopardgeckotalk

    Is this a Mainland or PI type? Looks Mainland to me. We have a PI and it's currently 43 grams. Will not eat anything but crickets which worries us. Have tried all flavors and brands of MRP. Another lizard you might want to try is a Leachie. We have 2 and just loves them to pieces.........Thanks for the video.

      haha when i first showed my family a pic of a chahoua they were like :S ew why? but actually yeah they're really sweet, and although their skin can make them look rough, they're really soft like a crested gecko :)

    Can you possibly recommend a reputable channel(s) for advice on house lizards in pet settings. Florida has non native but also non invasive Mexican, Mediterranean, and Asian house lizards... but with slightly different coloring as I understand it. We also have several day lizards. Maybe I am having hard luck lol but I seem to be finding the worst obviously misinformed videos lol 😂 I'm pretty sure even house geckos should never be on sand lol 😂

    Leopard geckos aren't crepuscular. They are Cathemeral, meaning they are awake during random intervals of the day when it's beneficial to them. There was a paper done on Leopard geckos that has evidence that supports this; as well as those in the military seeing Leopard geckos out and active during the daytime.

      @edretheria135 7 лет назад +1

      Leopard geckos are honestly the best for begginier reptile owners. They're the least expensive to maintain, they're super docile and are very low maintence. I really recomend you start with one of these... but personally I just think anoles arent that cool, though its probably because I'm a floridian and they're everywhere here xD.
