I somehow forgot to say something really important. So I’ll say it here. When it comes to pairing them up, what I usually do is get a new tub, fill it up with the things I said, and add both of the geckos at the same time. They can live together for the entire season. If you dont feel x doing this, you can monitor how they mate in a small baby sized enclosure. Dont worry if they fight or bite each other. Best of luck :)
I have a butiful red dalmatian male and a harlequin lilly white pinstripe female. I think that they will make some realy pretty babys, but i am a little confused on breeding. From watching a few videos and doing some research i beleve they will be able to breed in a couple months. Have any tips.
@@rebeccarowland76 I would suggest isolating proyects. Although it is possible that some babies turn out nice, the sad reality of working with dalmatian spots is that they get inherited in a weird way we don’t fully understand yet, and breeding dalmatians to non dalmatians makes kids with only a few spots. The problem with this is that people are starting to not like patterned geckos with spots. So they are harder to sell and end up being considered lower quality. Therefore, I would suggest getting an extreme harlequin male for her and a red dalmatian for him, or something similar. It is the sad reality, and you can try anyways, I’m not going to discourage you from doing so. But I want you to understand what some experience has taught me and what the market currently says. Now going to the actual breeding practices, Wait until they are both 35-40g, put them together in a clean 56qt tub or bigger, and observe their behavior. If they haven’t mated before, the most likely outcome is a very agressive and driven male, and a non receptive female. In other words, he will bit her to position himself and as part of the dance, and she will bite back and vocalize as an indication that she does not want to mate. This is normal, and we have to suck it up as breeders, if not, no one would breed cresties. After that, monitor the female and check for eggs once a day or so. I made a video in which I go over checking for eggs, and instead of looking in the laybox, I feel the females, touch them, and ensure they haven’t laid their eggs yet. Once I feel they don’t have the eggs anymore, that’s when I look around their enclosure. You’ll do great, message me for any tips. But the most important thing in a messed up market is to breed for quality geckos, so please message me if you have doubts! Thanks for the support :)
The market is overfilled with crested Gecko, its super important to not breed low end normal random morphs, bad head shape ect, only breed high quality hihg end crested gecko at the moment, because otherwise the market will continue to crash. Consider to breed an other type of new caledonian gecko in this marked witch is so full of crested. Eurydactylodes agricolae, occidentalis ect or Bauer's chameleon geckos are not seen sooooo much. They dont tank up that much space and are even cheaper and as easy to care for
@@stina9659 The market is saturated, but theres still tens of thousands of people who don’t own a gecko yet but will in the future. More than half of my sales are for pets not high end breeder geckos. I wish my high end animals sold better, because it’s where I spent the most money, however, people that just want pets don’t care about looks, so buy the lower end ones. I understand your point, and I agree. If I had known better where I was getting into a few years ago, I would have probably done a different species. However, I do not regret getting into cresties, the sell well for me, and I am amazed by them. I will bring quality content on crested geckos and other species, but will not stop breeding these animals. Thanks for the advice though
You Chanel is extremely underrated for your high quality in depth guide videos
Keep it up and you’ll blow up😁
@@greysnakeboy4900 Thank you so much! I’m trying to improve my quality way more… We’ll see where I get
Incredibly useful video. Everything you need to know in a single video! Congrats
@@danielboluda251 thank you :)

So it’s ok if my female keeps biting my male ?
@ yeah, just make sure there is no blood
Great video so if I'm understanding you can start breeding now
@@commercialelectrician133 Thank you! You can start now but it might be better to wait 1 or 2 months
