Him “do a couple hours of research “
Me:Has been doing research since March and is going to continue till my birthday in July when I can possibly get one 😂
We are living the same life lmao I’m getting mine next week
Same though
Did you get one tho
Frizzy sadly not right now because we have a cat and my aunt was afraid it would kill my gecko
yup sounds about right
I'm getting my crested gecko tmrw. I've been researching for months and I'm super excited :)
That boi is two years old lol hope hes doing good!!
How’d it go?
Eg
Golf ball
take the geckos out often. only five to ten minutes at a time. they can get stressed out very quickly. you want to spray your geckos twice a day. feed every other day. fresh water all the time. clean cage/their home once a week. for the flooring. nothing expensive needed. just a paper towel is fine. (helps to make sure they are moving their bowels and urinaing properly/well). HANDLE WITH CARE. do the hand walk like he is doing. dont be scared if they jump. that is what they do. tall cage's best!
MrShocker5 You do not need to clean the entire cage once a week. That’s insane.
Lisa Mccullough how often then? I need to know as I’m getting my crestie most likely this weekend.
smaller crested geckos living in smaller bins YES do clean or change the paper towels once a week but honestly change the paper towels when they start looking dirty.....two or 3 weeks and completely deep clean every 6 weeks or so.
@@acrylicluv 1 time every month
I just spot check everyday. Clean out the poop. Check their water bowls.
Their heads remind me of Velociraptors
Yea
Colby Main Velociraptor was feathered
LizardVenomPL did I say it wasn't?
Colby Main No , but gecko is not feathered. Plus their heads really look like raptors' ones form JP
LizardVenomPL he means the shape
I've worked in two pet stores with two very different environments. The first one I worked in, everyone was super into the health and care of all animals no matter what they were into. We had everything too, and we did have lights in the cresteds tank but they went off at night. However, in the second store I worked I it was awful considering they didn't care, at all, but acted like they cared near customers. Always buy from a breeder, guys, unless you can 100% be sure of the authenticity of the pet store you're buying from.
exactly what I mean..
TheAngieIshmael Where was it?

Animal Crackers hey, so my crested gecko has been hiding under his moss, he is not really eating his fruit mix or his fruits, a couple nights ago I put about 10 crickets in his terrarium and about 9/10 of them he had eaten by that next morning. I don't know if he's a boy or a girl, he seems to be a young gecko and I dunno if he is a good weight. I think he is a good weight though. It was with another gecko when I got it from pet smart (Bad idea to get it from pet smart.) I looked up why it could be hiding under his moss, and it said that your crested gecko might be pregnant, which worries me. I have moss and coconut fiber in his terrarium though. I am offering him food every other day and have also offered him strawberries and bannanas and sprinkled repashy calcium dust on it. I handled him for the first time today, and have had him for 2 weeks now. I'm really worried, I think I am doing a good job of taking care of him, but at the same e time I feel like I'm not. What do you think I should do?
Oh, and I did A TON of research before getting him. I know a lot, but I'm still worried.
make sure the cage temp stays under 83 F! Very important
whats that in °C?
google degrees C
Lord Ganja 28C
Sup Bro ye i looket it up so a 30-45 w bulb directed at a higher spot would be fine with a 25x30x60 right?
Lord Ganja probably
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, good sir.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it!
You have some BEAUTIFUL geckos.
so funny to see the difference between then and now
Im actually getting my second crested gecko this Tuesday! I'm super excited to be introducing another one into the home :)
"Don't always listen to the guys on RUclips", says the guy on RUclips...
Ingoivalde 😂😂😂
In the arms of the angels ...👼🏻
Lol
I love your videos and your love of your geckos
This video really helped me out getting mine! thanks a lot :)
"don't always listen to people on youtube."(5:19) LOL :)
Lol
In*
yes it is normal if they are just chill. that is very good. : )
Just got my second crestie, a Harlequin juvie who seems extremely calm and quite confident! I'm hoping he/she doesn't take long to settle in.
I can definitely recommend cresties as a pet, even for children as long as they are responsible. You need to keep temperature and humidity constant, and only have to feed Crested Gecko Diet such as Repashy every 3 days or so, which is basically a powder mixed with water. They are EXTREMELY easy to keep.
You should replace their food every 24 hours because after that time the food loses many key nutrients. I don't put very much food in their terrarium, and I replace it often to ensure they get enough nutrients.
Cool geckos dude
OMG WHAT A CUTE CRESTIE ❤️❤️👏🏻
Thank you
I don't have a crestie but I have a gargoyle gecko, I did hours and hours of research for a couple of months for getting mine and I did that everyday. I was lucky to get his set up all complete and ready before getting him. He came from a petstore here where I am from but they specialised in reptiles and other exotics, the guy who sold him to me has crested geckos and gargoyles and gave me so much information. I went to first go check out the gargoyle I was interested in, held him and looked over his body, eyes, feet and weight. He was social, active and energetic liked jumping all over my hands. I could tell he was being socialised and handled. When I came back to collect him a week later he was still healthy and all the good stuff. brought him home asap and got him settled in. He ate that night too which made me very happy and settled in very nicely, he was exploring his tank surroundings, climbing on everything, looking at me when I was around. then a week later I held him for 5 minutes and he was very happy and calm, loved hopping from hand to hand. But yes you must!! do research I don't recommend going to a petstore with out researching their care and make sure they specialise in reptiles and know what they are doing.
i live in the netherlands and i don't know a breeder and yeah i have seen some crested gecko's at a pet shop they are 7 months old and the looked very healty and the people that work there loved them so much. they take very good care of them. so i trust them taking care of them before i buy one.
I’m really thinking of getting an lizard and I’m really interested in geckos and these crested geckos look very cool and seem friendly and easy to take care of . Wish they grew their tail back tho .
holysh*t~! there's one big badass crested gecko on his chest
That thing is sooooo cute.
5:19 tho lol "don't trust people on RUclips" says the person on youtube. Lololololol
i love you're channel
I have a question about the gecko eating when it's in its new enclosure. If you have a big terrarium for the gecko with the substrate being a soil, how can you spot the poop? I plan on welcoming my first with a 36x18x20in Terrarium for it's comfort.
i bought 2 crested geckos from a pet shop they were in small shoe sized vivs. vivs for bugs! and one girly was super dehydrated the other had 3 months of shed stuck on her her eyes were covered in shed so she couldn't see
I’m getting a flame pinstripe in a few months and I can’t wait
i love that 2 one
Wow that first gecko loves to jump
My crested gecko particularly loves roaches but I cannot find them anywhere around where I live anymore. And crickets just die way too fast. What recommendations do you have?
A few years ago, I didn’t know any better so i got a crested gecko from petsmart.
Ah yes, make sure the nocturnal animals are active in the pet store with bright lights, obviously
What morph are you holding around 6 min ? Thank you!
I'm getting mine at a Reptile Expo
I am so flipping excited. I researched before getting my beardie and now I'm ready for a crested. It'll probably be another month or two. In about a year going to make bioactive enclosures for them both.
its been a year, any update?
@@mememe8952 I had to start over with my beardie. I just did not handle her enough and she was not having it so re homed her. Now the cresties are great. I'll have to upload a video if them. I have two now. I got another small beardie and I handle him daily, hand feed. We think this one is a boy but he's really chill. Oh his enclosure is bioactive. I uploaded a video. The cresties are not in permanent enclosures though. It's decent for now.
@@QUADacityLyfe happy to hear, that u didnt lose interest in beardies :).
do crested geckos need lighting or heat pads?
You are right but I personally I prefer tubs
I just got a red Dalmatian. I got him from a beautiful reptile store. They owner was awesome. I have a pacman frog that just wasn’t the pet for me. He took my frog in and had me bring my tank in. He set everything up for me. He’s two months old. He’s a beautiful guy(well I don’t know if he’s a guy yet). Shout out to JTK reptiles in Long Beach cali.
i work at petsmart and our reptiles are super well cared for and we all love our reptiles. hell sometimes we take them out when we arent busy just to let them have some fresh air and love on them. screw you and everyone who says pet stores dont give a crap about our animals, we love all of them dearly.
i got a crested gecko a week ago and i have nnot seen any poop in his cage and it dosent look like he is eating, should i be woried?
Although this is very very late, if you want to get a gecko from a breeder which I highly recommend, not only to avoid overpaying for geckos in poor health but to support professionals who truly have a passion for geckos, go on morph market. Use the filter "price low to high" or something like that, if it matters to you. You can see all the different morphs and prices very easily, as well as use my favorite feature, morphmap. Although it doesn't show every single reptile breeder in the country, it shows those with listings on morphmarket so you can locate a more local breeder. I plan on using it to get a gecko from a nearby breeder, since shipping can be pricey and i'd rather not have to worry about being home when the crestie gets delivered.
Where did you buy them ??
Your channel rocks keep up the fab work. How long does it take to ship crested geckos from you???
Do chahoua/crested gecko hybrids regenerate their tails?
Alrighty, so, I've had two adult cresteds a couple of years ago. Then last night a friend of mine randomly bought me two hatchling cresteds. I've never cared for hatchlings before, she told me they were 1-2 months old. Any tips?
do u think that crested gecko arent massive enough for handling them? i mean are they too "soft" ?
When you ship you ship FedEx or through a legitimate shipping company as such correct ? And theirs no " shipping insurance thats so called refundable ? Will it ship directly to my door
I've found the exact opposite at my local pet supermarket and petco.Most if not all of the employees were very familiar with the care and many owned several reptiles/geckos.I bought two female white lined geckos from pet supermarket over a year ago and because they're not as common as the other geckos the salesperson made sure I had all the info. I needed.They're thriving and huge.
I just bought my first crested, a juvenile from petco,again the sales associate had Cresties and gave me many tips.She also was telling me alternatives to use instead of spending a ton on stuff from their store.
I must've asked her a million questions (I've taken care of adult crested,this is my first juvenile),she stood and made sure I knew everything I needed to know.
I love your videos and thank you for the tips.Just don't agree with the comments about the pet store reps..
Lucky you got a "good" store but do yourself a favor and look up "going undercover in a pet store" on here.
Did you put them both in the same enclosure?
Gonna buy one from your site soon 😀
How old was the yellow gecko in the vid?
On an average, how much would it cost just to buy the Crested Gecko?
Is Pangea a okay pace to order geckos? Also if I order from Pangea can I order the plants, food and enclosure at the same time I order the gecko?
I agree.
I am looking but I am not able to purchase anything on your site because of the high price. I am looking else where but love the ones you show
Hi I had a question so I recently bought a 3 week old eyelash crested gecko doesn’t look like it is eating at all but it does drink. I feed it Rapashy it doesn’t eat it I cut it tiny slice of fruit nothing either and give it cricket nothing it been a week and a half since I got it. What should I do
I work at pet co, we take very good care of all our reptiles only about two can't be handled much and those are our tree pythons and one of our toads he bites. We do handle and feed them a healthy steady diet different per reptile.
hey tikis are any of your geckos for sale
What does it mean if my adult male doesn't jump at all?
yes still alive and he's doing ok now
I've done like 3 month's of research and maybe more to come while I wait to have my mom buy me one
What were you using at 4:38 ?? I mean what kind
How mouch is the shipping to sacramento ca.??
How do we contact a breeder or find them and reptile shows 🤔
omg what pattern is this gecko its beautiful were can i get one i am experienced i have a cream macho and red dalmation
Wow yes, such a nice home for all your animals: a tub
Do you think buying one online from a place such as lllreptile? I'm thinking about getting one but I've never bought a reptile online.
What state are you guys in? I was thinking about ordering a crestie!
Very Pretty!
thank you
Breannut I'm going to buy one from you because I know when I see a good gecko 😉
can you get crested geckos in Australia, and do you ship there.
Hi I have a leopard gecko and I'm looking into a crested first question is what do they eat like what is there best food to eat second question do they shed third question what is a good size of tank fourth question do they need a heat mat??
sorry if I'm a bit late, but cresties are really easy to care for. Enclosures should be about the size of a shoebox (maybe a five gal tank) with fake plants and plenty of things for them to climb or hide under. Feeding is really easy; Repashy or pangea powder (mix one part powder to two parts water) in a small dish (like the size of a bottle cap) is all you need to give them. change it out every 48 hours. They don't need to eat bugs, but you can give them crickets like maybe once a week. Dubia roaches work too. stay far away from mealworms though. Intestinal blockages.
Are u in the UK or do u ship and how much for a crested gecko
thx
I got my gecko, gidget from tropical hut on division street (Great store)!
what is the music in the first 30 seconds?
glitch mob i'm pretty sure
This was a good video overall considering the information about health and more... no I don't have any experience in owning one but I have done weeks of research of them in captivity and the wild and I must say for the geckos sake I hope others dont see how you have them in the small " enclosure " aka a storage container.. if someone is consider this animals they should firmly know that they NEED climbing space and lots of plants whether live or fake to climb above ground as they are arboreal lizards meaning they mainly stick to the trees and in the leaves above ground. I'm not trying to hate on you or this video what so ever it was a informative video but the habitat is the most important part of taking care of an animal and needs to be tall even of that means very little floor space . Make sure you give them lots of options to climb up high.
Can they eat stuff like meal worms or something other then crickets?
Frostbite Gaming 👍🏻
Wanting to get a crested gecko but I go on a week holiday every year so does any body know how to handle maintainance while I'm gone other than giving to friend/family/pet shop as its a 3 hour drive. Is there any plants or automatic misters? How to feed? Feed more than usual before we leave? Help would be appreciated thanks
Can you get them in Australia?
your gekos are butiful
Do you ship to Utah
so basically he is saying don't help the animal that is in most need of help (in other words he's saying you shouldn't purchase the unhealthiest animal.)
I'm thinking about buying a gecko online from a reputable breeder. I can't contact them by phone though. Do you think I should still buy it? It's from Altitude Exotics!
Ok thanks
if a lizard is malnourished wouldn't you want to adopt it to give it a better life?
1:32 what colour of gecko is it?
what morph is the gecko at 4:49 ?
how much to buy one in colorado?
The tubs are for breeders because it is cheaper to buy that than glass tanks but it doesn't effect the geckos health
+ALG.geckos it depends, many/most breeders cohabitate their herps or have way too small of habitats with little or no climbing or moving space.
I went yesterday to animal expo in Orange County fair and well they were selling crested geckos female light color and she was 35 dollars
i have had my gecko for like 3-4 months. And i cant handle "it" at all. He/She is very, VERY skittish and freaks out when he/she sees my hand. I have had it on my hand and trying to get he/she to be used to my hand. Im trying! I hope when it gets bigger i can handle he/she more. Any suggestions?
simon2002a try putting food on your fingers or hand and let it come to you .
In Orlando Florida orange county the petco is a good place to go they are all very healthy
Where can I buy one for cheap ?
I guess it'd be stupid to ask if you ship them worldwide... I just really don't know how to get one in my country!
Ye but if a pet store invested in keeping reptiles they would imploy a reptile keeper of some sort
That is a beautiful gecko at 5:00 , what morph would you define that as? I'm just getting into cresties and their morphs and these really dark ones are stunning.
That is a dark harlequin pinstripe :)
Do you guys sell reptiles??????
Tiki will you make a vid on all around facts
