My personal favorite gecko would be the chameleon gecko. Small as a mourning gecko but calm as a crestie! Also they have absolutely beautiful large green scales and gorgeous patterning!
Honestly I really get that crested geckos are not super smart. When he was talking about cresties, I looked around at my crestie and she just was chilling upside down. Gosh I love them!
As someone with a Chinese Cave Gecko, I’m glad to see the love they’re getting! They’re a little less handleable than a Leopard gecko or AFT, but they do start to tolerate handling after a little while. They’re also quite picky eaters, as evident by mine who refuses to eat anything but crickets. But he’s thriving nonetheless and almost always has a chunky belly I wish I could share pics of him on here because he’s a stunner. Any time I show people I pic of him, they’re instantly amazed by his red eyes and bright yellow bands. Easily one of my favourite reptiles I’ve ever seen, and I’m extremely lucky to own one
Ive ran into wild ones in FL.. They are so god damn mean.. Brave to.. Like dude i can crush you.. Nope dont care i bite you now.. Go away.. Jeez... That look awesome.
I have a Question My day gecko dropped part of his tail can he still climb with part of it gone?? He is having trouble climbing I feel so bad for the little guy please help!!
@@mksmith8288 would you say you notice you have one? considering they're nocturnal, do you see them? can you handle them? I'm trying to decide between leopard and cave
@@lieveheersbeestje099 I do have a cave gecko you don't see them too much. I recommend getting a motion activated camera if you want to see them just out and about. I can handle mine and he doesn't seem too upset by it, typically if I have him out for long he rests on my shoulder. Leopard geckos are definitely more friendly than cave geckos.
Two months ago I bought my leopard gecko Peach (she is a tangerine morph!) from my local owned reptile shop. I’m super happy there are so many resources online and on youtube to teach me more about how to care for her and enrich her life. Peach came to me healthy as can be and she is still very healthy!
Funny, I've watched some of your older videos and it's crazy how much better the audio, the video and filming in general is. You deserve the subs. Keeping rocking man
I have a lovely gargoyle gecko named turnip, she's my first reptile and honestly as a beginner she's not too hard to keep. I definitely recommend cresties & other crestie sub species!
I have a gargoyle too and I agree virtual cowboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crested geckos are an awesome starter gecko! Good picks! For people who don’t like how Crested Geckos drop their tails, there is an animal called a Sarasinorum Gecko! They are also in the genus Correlophus and dont drop their tails from being frightened. Congratulations on 2 years Adam!👏🎉
I just upgraded my corn snake by a lot he was in a 10 gallon and now he's in a huge bin (I dont use rack systems but I keep most of my animals now in bins cus I can get big enclosures for cheaper)
@@WickensWickedReptiles we love you adam!! keep up being a great caretaker and content creator :) you’ve kinda inspired me to maybe try content creation in the next year or so
I absolutely love geckos, the eyes on those Chinese Cave Geckos are absolutely stunning! They're like leopard geckos that went to the dark side 😂 Sith Geckos! 🤣
i love the variety of different morphs for crested geckos & the easy care. I have two baby ones 🤗 & they have long life spans 15-20 years, that’s another plus for me. They can also be kept in smaller bins when they’re younger because it’s easier for them to find their food, they can eat bugs but they are fine with crested gecko powder mix food
I know not a lot of people are massive fans of them but honestly I live for leachianus geckos! They're just such big floppy wrinkle boys and I dream of owning one! (Also I like having more sassy pets for some reason so an attitude is no problem to me) I have a crestie currently, could honestly just have a room of geckos tbh 😅
Honestly, a leachianus is also one of my dream reptiles. Flippy floppy living sock puppets, which just gives you an excuse to name one after a muppet. Gonzo the Leachie has a nice ring to it.
Just a suggestion to bump up the quality of your videos (which is already great): Seeing as the majority of the world uses normal units of measurements (Celcius for temp, metric for scale of cages, etc.,) maybe you could put up these measurements on the screen, even if you only talk in freedom units. Seeing as your videos are already pretty edited, I don't think it would be too much of an effort, and people around the world would know what you're talking about without having to translate all the units you mention :)
We have 2 male Chinese Cave Geckos in separate enclosures. A forewarning to anyone looking to get these. You can go weeks without seeing them. They do NOT come out during the day at all. You have to wait until the room is completely dark and use a red light to go see them. They don't hide as much with the red light as they do with a white or blue light. We know they are ok when we see that they've eaten their food. Or you can set up a camera to see them at night. That's what we did the first couple of months.
Loved this video! I really love geckos and I would have loved to have seen coleonyx elegans and aeluroscalabotes felinus as well. I find them both really interesting, but they dont seem to be widely known. You're amazing, love your videos xx
I'm so happy to see the Chinese Cave Gecko on this list! I absolutely fell in love with these guys after seeing them at an expo for the first time. I'll have had mine for a year come February! Also, I've seen some comments about them being picky eaters. I just want to give some opposing info and say mine eats anything I offer him. As long as it moves, he'll eat it.
@@davidlarkin1040 I've had the best luck feeding Dubia roaches. He responds well to them and they have a harder time escaping an insect feed dish. I also recommend getting a black light for viewing since they really only come out at night.
Nice one putting knob tails at the top, love them. maybe could've lumped the cave geckos in with the other eyelids you mentioned and made space for more mentions, paroedura genus maybe. i think chameleon geckos deserve a mention in the new caledonian gang. and bin p. grandis, klemmeri and a few other small day geckos are in another league. cracking video though
Awww the knob tail is so cute! Those eyes! They kinda remind me of those beanie babies with the HUGE eyes! And the Chinese Cave Gecko looks so, regal and elegant and (I love the eyes) kinda like a tiny wingless dragon!
The best type of reptile GECKO! For me at least the worst thing for me I really small and the ones that really catch my eyes are even smaller than that and I'm a bigger guy so I always worry I'm going to hurt them
Another great video as always. Just have a question, are crested geckos easy to handle as well. I often see you with your leopard geckos and others but haven't seen you handle your crested geckos... ❤️🇳🇱
I mean Usually they are easy going, unless u get a sassy one like i did, But especially if u get a baby they will be a little skittish but if you work with them they can make amazing pets!!
I love my cresties! I've had 1 drop his tail. It took literally nothing. One minute he had his tail and the next time I checked on him he turned to frog butt. Looking forward to my first ever breeding project being cresties ☺
I picked up my first leopard gecko in December he’s a year old will be 2 in august and a blazing blizzard morph. Then about 2 weeks ago I went and picked up an African Fat Tail gecko, he’s a male as well and has a stripe morph he will be turning 1 in April. I really love these geckos and they are great for beginners
Omg the cave geckos are super cool! Video suggestion, because I'll be moving in with my boyfriend and his complex doesn't allow dogs, reptiles that don't mind /like snuggles. XOXO
I agree day geckos are amazing, and yeah, good luck catching them if they escape, mine has escaped a few times but luckily he's developed a liking to me and knows who I am, it wasn't always like that though, when I had him as a baby he would just run away from me, but now that he's nearing 10 years old, he's developed a fondness of me and has a personality towards me as well vs other people, I wouldn't trade him for anything, he's been amazing.
I adore my leo. She’s genuinely the best leo I could ever ask for. She’s easily becoming one of my best friends ❤️❤️ I missed my dog so my boyfriend actually got her for me while in college. I’ve been wanting a Leo for YEARS now, and I’m so happy to have her
I think mourning geckos are really cool. They can eat crested gecko diet, you can keep them in a 5 gallon since they are tiny, they are all female and can breed alone, and they will do great in large groups.
The knob tail gecko looks so cute, oh well let’s start with watching videos before I do anything lol. I have two crested geckos and one leopard geckos currently.
Awesome man! I'd like to see a video on a mixed species setup like someone else commented. The only one I currently know of is certain iguanas and tortoises but there's gotta be more out there. That or a video on amphibious pets even though your channel name reflects reptiles. Very interested in different types of salamanders in the pet trade. Tiger salamanders are my fav but I'd like to know about more types of good ones as pets.
I miss my gecko, I sold it to a store since I was moving. I loved him, and would often let him go roaming over the home. Feed him crickets, I loved watching him more than tv. Funny to, I do have geico insurance, but not because of that.
Wrong info on Gonuirosaurus - they utilise height when offered it and you should definitely look into a 45cm cube as a minimum, you'll often find them upside down on the internal roof of any rock cave you give them and they are great climbers despite not having toe pads. If you put them in a larger enclosure and watch them at night you can see how active they are. If you want a similar gecko that doesn't need the height then a Coleonyx Elegans has very similar requirements, just add a litte more heat. They do climb but only to grab prey, C. Mitratus is also suitable
I know this seems like a really dumb question...but can you use blue roll in a leopard gecko tank...like the massive rolls of blue paper towel you see cleaners and schools use..?
@@WickensWickedReptiles Oh thats great! Thanks so much for the reply!! :D Love you and the channel by the way, you have such a great personality, stay safe
What’s a good starting price for leopard geckos? I’ve heard they can be old for $20-$40 but online they’re like $70-$400 and I don’t want to go to PetCo for one
Hey I have a problem with my crested gecko. He is very stubborn when it comes to food. He wont eat crickets that are dusted with calcium. He'll strait up *REFUSE* Crested gecko diet. He wont eat blended up fruits like banana,mangos and ect. Its gotten so bad that I have too dap some food on his nose so he'll lick it off and eat it. I give him lots of hides and plants with daily spot cleaning and I give him light too. He is about 3 years old and use to chow down on his food when he was younger but now he doesn't really eat. He used to be at a healthy weight and now he is very skinny. I dont want to force feed him by shoving a tube in his mouth. Any recommendations at all,I'm almost all out of option's and I want him to live a long healthy life and not starve himself to death.
My Garg is now 8yrs old. I got Dimitri as an 8 month old from a shop who was having trouble convincing him to eat on his own. For a couple months I tried all the gecko foods and feeder bugs I could get locally, he would eat a few crickets and no noticeable amount of dry or various amounts of water added to various gecko formulas including 4 flavors of repatshi. Only licking a tiny amount off his nose I'd put there with a baby syringe. He was my first not strictly bug eating species, I got scared he would die as his lost visable condition in that time. I took him back to the shop and got a diffrent lizard insted. Fast forward one year and I saw a local add for a garg with pictures that looked exactly like him. They were rehomeing due to him not eating well and loosing interest. Sure enough theirs story lined up and he exactly matched my old photos. He was still a very picky eater and wouldn't eat any food left In his tank other than the odd cricket. For over 4 years after I bought him back the only way I could get more into him was hold him in one had and syringe feed him apricot pangea mix I had to buy online(first thing I ever bought online)(he hated and wouldnt eat the other 4 flavors I got from that brand and still won't eat them dispite my other fruit eating geckos loving them). I'd start by putting a drop on his nose and then he'd start lapping up his fill as I dispensed it as fast as he would lick it up.(so not really force feeding thank goodness, cuz that sucks) . He was always bonyer and knobyer looking than the ones id see online in pictures of videos, but he had energy at night, some muscles and wasnt loosing weight. when he was finally about 6 years old he started eating the powdered food out of a tiny dish in his tank(still won't eat the mush in the tank, But likes it from a syringe still) he's finally bulked up a little to where I can't see every rib and spine bump. He started the tank eating about a year after I moved houses, idk if that had any influence or not on him, everything else is the same. I'd suggest trying syringe feeding(if you have to sit there for an hour dabbling it's nose with drops from a syringe do it) try lots of diffrent brands and flavors, try diffrent amounts of water added, some like it thicker of thinner than others, offer it dry too(in or out of the cage). Mine still won't eat any fresh, mashed or frozen thawed fruit(even apricots or bananas). I love Dimitri but his pickyness and difficulty to keep fed has made me consider not getting another not strictly insectivore when he passes eventually. That said hand feeding him made him friendlier. My mourning geckos love any of the pangea flavors(with insects is their favorite), and I have bug eaters who only like one or 2 types of bugs :p . Can't win with having all non picky reptiles, even if they try to starve themselves. The "replacement lizard" I got when I returned him to the store for not eating is still doing well. He's now an 8yr old Schneider skink. He is less picky most of the year but every year for about 5-6 weeks in feb-march he go's off all food and looses some condition so I always try to keep him as chunky as posible before this time(easyer said than done with a very active zoomies lizard who only eats his fill every few days-once every 2 weeks thruout the year.. 3 years ago he also did this 6 week fast in late Oct thru November, lost a little condition, ate normal thru Dec and Jan then fasted again feb-march. He was so skinny I thought I'd loose him.he was showing spine and hip bones on a normally sausage shaped lizard. He didnt have much fightor energy in him either.Talked to as many reptile vets as would pick up the phone and looked on lots of forums. I bought the highest calorie food mush from the closest reptile vet 3 hours away and forced his mouth open and made him eat some every other day for weeks until he started figthting back hard and eating bugs again in April. He used to love me and be very handleable. Now he still hates me and hisses(not quite as bad this last year) and won't relaxedly let me hold him for long. I broke our bond but he'd be dead otherwise. I both regret and don't regret force feeding him every day. He now has some issues digesting as much chittin as he used to, so I hve to manage the amount of crunchy bugs(his favorite) he gets so he doesn't get backed up but otherwise he's just a hyper, grouchy older man.
I think the knob-tailed gecko is one of my favorites for geckos. I didn't realize they were an Australian species, no wonder I don't see them often. They each have their own charm though. I think the cave gecko sounds great for more northern folks! Or I could keep it in the bedroom... the reptile room is quite warm, but the husband likes to keep the bedroom arctic. But if we ever lost power the poor thing would roast in Florida.
Have you done a video on communal geckos? I have a huge enclosure that I want to plant and add some small geckos, possibly even dart frogs as well. What's a good cohabitation setup?
The Chinese cave geckos look so cool! I might actually look into them. The only problem is that my house could get too hot in the summer... and my mom doesn’t like reptiles but I think I could persuade her!
*Me watching my Leopard Gecko bite the ground where she ate earlier* "Yes, intelligence."
Mine isn’t very smart either
Me watching mine try climbing on a mushroom and fall every time but trying over and over
This got me in tears 🤣
Mine closes his eyes and then launches for his food...he always misses😭🤣
Lol

there bigger then mourning geckoes though, and not by a very small margin, but i do get your point

My favourite is a lemon leopard gecko

I agree day geckos are amazing, and yeah, good luck catching them if they escape, mine has escaped a few times but luckily he's developed a liking to me and knows who I am, it wasn't always like that though, when I had him as a baby he would just run away from me, but now that he's nearing 10 years old, he's developed a fondness of me and has a personality towards me as well vs other people, I wouldn't trade him for anything, he's been amazing.
I adore my leo. She’s genuinely the best leo I could ever ask for. She’s easily becoming one of my best friends ❤️❤️ I missed my dog so my boyfriend actually got her for me while in college. I’ve been wanting a Leo for YEARS now, and I’m so happy to have her
I think mourning geckos are really cool. They can eat crested gecko diet, you can keep them in a 5 gallon since they are tiny, they are all female and can breed alone, and they will do great in large groups.
What about Mourning geckos? Super easy to keep regarding temperature and food, cheap, even vocal. Not handable though.
I have a whites tree frog, do crested geckos have similar care
My Leo lost her tail tip back in 2019, but she healed up and her tail is only like a centimeter shorter now
The knob tail gecko looks so cute, oh well let’s start with watching videos before I do anything lol. I have two crested geckos and one leopard geckos currently.
I don't see Sarah enough. Little Foot seems to be stealing the spotlight from her 😂🦎
Littlefoot loves the spotlight
I love this video ;) Great content as always Adam!
Awesome man! I'd like to see a video on a mixed species setup like someone else commented. The only one I currently know of is certain iguanas and tortoises but there's gotta be more out there. That or a video on amphibious pets even though your channel name reflects reptiles. Very interested in different types of salamanders in the pet trade. Tiger salamanders are my fav but I'd like to know about more types of good ones as pets.
i have a 5 lined skink in a bio active got it as a hatchling do a segment on them too plzz
cool!
My dad just linked me this video saying you seem knowledgeable. He’s a little late 😭😂
That's awesome!
If you’re on the discord, you get notified before RUclips does
yep! :)
Well if that ain't the truth I've had RUclips notify me 6 days after a video has been uploaded
Could you do a video on how to make an enclosure for an AFT?
The Australian Knob-tail looks like an anime character!!! Those EYES are amazing!
Would have included gold dust day geckos standings day geckos and peacock day geckos as honorable mentions. Super colorful and underrated.
I miss my gecko, I sold it to a store since I was moving. I loved him, and would often let him go roaming over the home. Feed him crickets, I loved watching him more than tv. Funny to, I do have geico insurance, but not because of that.
Loved this one! I was so wrong, sooo many gecko options! Now to get me a Knob-tail baby.... 🏃♀️
Just wanna say I love your videos! 😆
What is the top right leopard gecko morph on that table? Mine has that pattern with the orange base, light brown stripes, and the speckled white tail.
time stamp?
i went to a reptile expo today and got a crested gecko and its definitely one of my favorite lizards of all time
I am hoping to get an African fat tailed gecko soon but another favorite of mine is the chameleon gecko
Wrong info on Gonuirosaurus - they utilise height when offered it and you should definitely look into a 45cm cube as a minimum, you'll often find them upside down on the internal roof of any rock cave you give them and they are great climbers despite not having toe pads. If you put them in a larger enclosure and watch them at night you can see how active they are.
If you want a similar gecko that doesn't need the height then a Coleonyx Elegans has very similar requirements, just add a litte more heat. They do climb but only to grab prey, C. Mitratus is also suitable
How much are chahouas in canada cos there £150 in the uk and $2000 in the us
I know this seems like a really dumb question...but can you use blue roll in a leopard gecko tank...like the massive rolls of blue paper towel you see cleaners and schools use..?
yep!
@@WickensWickedReptiles Oh thats great! Thanks so much for the reply!! :D Love you and the channel by the way, you have such a great personality, stay safe
What’s a good starting price for leopard geckos? I’ve heard they can be old for $20-$40 but online they’re like $70-$400 and I don’t want to go to PetCo for one
depends on morph for sure
Spiny Tail geckos are super cool. If it was legal I'd love Union island geckos as well.
cool!
Hey I’ve been wanting to get a crested gecko and I’ve seen people saying they don’t need a heat lamp and was wondering if that was true?
Hey I have a problem with my crested gecko. He is very stubborn when it comes to food. He wont eat crickets that are dusted with calcium. He'll strait up *REFUSE* Crested gecko diet. He wont eat blended up fruits like banana,mangos and ect. Its gotten so bad that I have too dap some food on his nose so he'll lick it off and eat it. I give him lots of hides and plants with daily spot cleaning and I give him light too. He is about 3 years old and use to chow down on his food when he was younger but now he doesn't really eat. He used to be at a healthy weight and now he is very skinny. I dont want to force feed him by shoving a tube in his mouth. Any recommendations at all,I'm almost all out of option's and I want him to live a long healthy life and not starve himself to death.
My Garg is now 8yrs old. I got Dimitri as an 8 month old from a shop who was having trouble convincing him to eat on his own. For a couple months I tried all the gecko foods and feeder bugs I could get locally, he would eat a few crickets and no noticeable amount of dry or various amounts of water added to various gecko formulas including 4 flavors of repatshi. Only licking a tiny amount off his nose I'd put there with a baby syringe. He was my first not strictly bug eating species, I got scared he would die as his lost visable condition in that time. I took him back to the shop and got a diffrent lizard insted. Fast forward one year and I saw a local add for a garg with pictures that looked exactly like him. They were rehomeing due to him not eating well and loosing interest. Sure enough theirs story lined up and he exactly matched my old photos. He was still a very picky eater and wouldn't eat any food left In his tank other than the odd cricket. For over 4 years after I bought him back the only way I could get more into him was hold him in one had and syringe feed him apricot pangea mix I had to buy online(first thing I ever bought online)(he hated and wouldnt eat the other 4 flavors I got from that brand and still won't eat them dispite my other fruit eating geckos loving them). I'd start by putting a drop on his nose and then he'd start lapping up his fill as I dispensed it as fast as he would lick it up.(so not really force feeding thank goodness, cuz that sucks) . He was always bonyer and knobyer looking than the ones id see online in pictures of videos, but he had energy at night, some muscles and wasnt loosing weight. when he was finally about 6 years old he started eating the powdered food out of a tiny dish in his tank(still won't eat the mush in the tank, But likes it from a syringe still) he's finally bulked up a little to where I can't see every rib and spine bump. He started the tank eating about a year after I moved houses, idk if that had any influence or not on him, everything else is the same.
I'd suggest trying syringe feeding(if you have to sit there for an hour dabbling it's nose with drops from a syringe do it) try lots of diffrent brands and flavors, try diffrent amounts of water added, some like it thicker of thinner than others, offer it dry too(in or out of the cage). Mine still won't eat any fresh, mashed or frozen thawed fruit(even apricots or bananas).
I love Dimitri but his pickyness and difficulty to keep fed has made me consider not getting another not strictly insectivore when he passes eventually. That said hand feeding him made him friendlier. My mourning geckos love any of the pangea flavors(with insects is their favorite), and I have bug eaters who only like one or 2 types of bugs :p . Can't win with having all non picky reptiles, even if they try to starve themselves.
The "replacement lizard" I got when I returned him to the store for not eating is still doing well. He's now an 8yr old Schneider skink. He is less picky most of the year but every year for about 5-6 weeks in feb-march he go's off all food and looses some condition so I always try to keep him as chunky as posible before this time(easyer said than done with a very active zoomies lizard who only eats his fill every few days-once every 2 weeks thruout the year.. 3 years ago he also did this 6 week fast in late Oct thru November, lost a little condition, ate normal thru Dec and Jan then fasted again feb-march. He was so skinny I thought I'd loose him.he was showing spine and hip bones on a normally sausage shaped lizard. He didnt have much fightor energy in him either.Talked to as many reptile vets as would pick up the phone and looked on lots of forums. I bought the highest calorie food mush from the closest reptile vet 3 hours away and forced his mouth open and made him eat some every other day for weeks until he started figthting back hard and eating bugs again in April. He used to love me and be very handleable. Now he still hates me and hisses(not quite as bad this last year) and won't relaxedly let me hold him for long. I broke our bond but he'd be dead otherwise. I both regret and don't regret force feeding him every day. He now has some issues digesting as much chittin as he used to, so I hve to manage the amount of crunchy bugs(his favorite) he gets so he doesn't get backed up but otherwise he's just a hyper, grouchy older man.
Thanks for giving day geckos some love!!
they are so freaking cool!
I never knew about Chinese Cave Geckos before this video, and they look amazing!
I think the knob-tailed gecko is one of my favorites for geckos. I didn't realize they were an Australian species, no wonder I don't see them often.
They each have their own charm though. I think the cave gecko sounds great for more northern folks! Or I could keep it in the bedroom... the reptile room is quite warm, but the husband likes to keep the bedroom arctic. But if we ever lost power the poor thing would roast in Florida.
knob tails are amazing
Have you done a video on communal geckos? I have a huge enclosure that I want to plant and add some small geckos, possibly even dart frogs as well. What's a good cohabitation setup?

The Chinese cave geckos look so cool! I might actually look into them. The only problem is that my house could get too hot in the summer... and my mom doesn’t like reptiles but I think I could persuade her!
