You know what, I respect you guys for being transparent with the possible issues of the morphs you sell. One of the things that irks me the most about breeders who sell dodgy morphs is that they usually never point out the issues, like Cinnamon's and their kinks and Spider Ball's with their neuro issues
I have decided not to support breeders who knowingly produce morphs with severe issues from what you've told me Lilly White's can live a full life without neurological issues as long as you're extra careful with incubation so I don't see a reason to blacklist it. I may change my mind if more research indicates it's a bigger issue but if my research lines up with your words then I'll feel comfortable recommending you guys to others (I'm not sure if new Caledonian geckos are the right pet for me).
Either way I respect your transparency. We need more honest breeders in the hobby.
Thank you Rose. Every animal breeding program will eventually run into some problems but as a breeder we have to work on improving the species and at the same time matching with the demand that people create for these animals
I love the Spider gene I have 7 different spider morphs.... some do have a slight wobble but they are healthy and eating great.... they ate great looking animals and live a happy healthy life..... I do have one that corkscrews pretty bad when you pick her up.... I won't be breeding her..... but same thing it has no problem eating and is in a good home.....
Love your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the info !
Excellent Video!! Thank you!
Great info! I myself plan on adding lilly whites to my breeding group in the near future and am learning all I can now about them.
Glad this helped!
Thank you for helping to protect the crested gecko community and this gene!! ❤️
Great video very informative and interesting this month I will be trying to get a Lilly White for my first crested gecko will be getting into the hobby and will be looking for hatchlings
Respect 💜
I got 2 crested geckos when I didn’t know about crest structure, the one they sent they lied about wasn’t even the same gecko in picture but I got her anyway and she was very sick at first wouldn’t eat or drink had to force feed, the other one just so happened to have wonderful structure, anyway it’s a year now and they are both thriving, my dream in a few years would be to breed a Lilly white with him when I have more hands on experience, your video was more than helpful thanks for all the information
New intro song cool!
Thank you for a great and informative video. I’m renting to learn more about the Lily White and other morphs, especially how to identify them. I am confused about the Lily White morph. I understood it to be identified as White up the sides and White on the top of the tail. I’ve seen several geckos that look like that but was told they are not Lily Whites. How can it look like it, but not be it? I want to be certain because I don’t want to make a mistake and breed 2 lilies together.
Lilly White's are beautiful 😍 If I ever get one it will just be a pet!! 😁 Breeding is to complicated for me 😂 Great information for those wanting to get in on this project.
i just got a lilly white
Love to learn more about crested geckos from you❤️.Fan from India ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
I own a lilly white they are amazing
Love your videos, i just got my first crested gecko any tips. He is really jumpy and scared.
This vid is amazing it's helped is loads . The female we purchased for breeding has 2 of the things you said low head bob and stumbles . After watching this we have said no to breeding with her .
Thank you for being responsible!
This head wobble in babies incubated at higher temps could also be linked to issues with immediate calcium deficiency. One of my crested gecko babies had a major wobble, really bad, but also had zero calcium sacs. Did heavy calcium dossing and worked to bring its calcium back up to a healthy point. It still has the wobble, but its almost barely noticeable, and I think thats because having such a major health issue right out of the gate has effected its growth, particularly in the skull. I think with time it will grow out of this issue. Im not sure what causes this, if its incubation or genetics, but the symptoms line up and this is on a none lily white.
I wondered why their price was dropping. Thank you for making this
Well that's not why the price is dropping. Price drops naturally because the supply is catching up to the demand. They are easy to reproduce. They have been around for over 5 years now so more people have access to them
What does it mean when a crestie tilts it head on the side?
This is why your a great breeder you dont keep secrets good or bad stay safe..
Yay like he told me there isn’t such thing as a captive bred red eye tree frog
@@anthonyruth5606 There are but very rare lol
Thank you
@@TikisGeckos no there not rare there expensive duh
@@TikisGeckos brother just stick to the reptiles bc I bought cresties from there great but your frogs are crap
em...I like it😊
Respect for pointing out the issues linked with Lilly Whites, guys ! I love this morph especially the phantom lilly whites, but i think it's hugely overrated (price becomes insane) considering it's a dominant trait and crested geckos reproduce so easily, it all then becomes purely an easy way to make a lot of money for quite a few breeders. Should recessive traits, good health and body type not be more important than a colour which is *frankly* pretty easy to achieve and pass along generations?
yes you are right. good health should be king when it comes to breeding. recessive traits are naturally going to be more expensive and harder to reproduce but at the end of the day everyone has their own favorite style of gecko
do you ship to germany?
Would you let people adopt them and sign a waiver to promise to not to breed the defective lily white?
I'd doubt it. There would be no way to enforce it, prove it, or manage it. With it been the most sought after morph, and the nature of the reptile industry they would need to know and trust who has them at a guess. That's what I would do.
It would have to be someone I trust and personally know. Thats why when I do give them away it has been to family or close friends
Would the quality of the offspring be better if the Lilly white is a female rather than a male?
I have a question about a 50% heterozygous for axanthic gecko. Visually he is harlequin but fires up dark. His mother is a Lilly white.
I am getting a female Lilly white here soon. Visually she looks to be a red phased Lilly white. Dad is a Lilly white and mom looks like a white based crested gecko with black markings.
Is I bred my 50% heterozygous for axanthic male with my female…would there be a issue since his mother is a Lilly white?
I’m also getting a dark based sibling of the red phased Lilly. She’s chocolate with a few spots on her side and a cream/reddish back and head. Since she has a Lilly father, would there be issues if I crossed her with my male?
Not saying I am, they are all under a year and have lots of growing up to do.
But I’m curious just in case I try it.
Can you produce high expression Lilly whites from low expressions? 😊
Following this
The answer is yes. Spoken to a few well known breeders! Even phantom lillies can produce normal/highs etc 😁
That's a really pretty lilly too..
I got a crested gecko from you guys
I'm curious if any breeders have tried to breed for cresteds that keep their tails?
Not that I know of. There are some that are definitely more reluctant to dropping it but not sure if someone has made a breeding project just on that
👌
HI I'v been thinking to get a gecko and a lot of people say that ylu are the best for that. The problem is that I dont live in USA. Is it possible to ship geckos outside of USA?
Hello depends on the country.
@@TikisGeckos hi. I live in an island called Cyprus. Its between Asia Africa and Europe. I hope you can ship geckos there but its a bit far
As a lilly white owner had to watch ;)
👍
Lilly white
What is the best temperature to hatch crested gecko eggs?
They incubate at room temp
About 20°c-24°c, 22°c is usually best.
74F-76F
Huge respect for you guys. I love the looks of the morph but I just cannot support its breeding here. But that's my personal choice. I know you both are taking the right approach (if one decides to breed them).
Thank you Wally
He has great geckos but has terrible frog I got his pac man and looked great and I had a swab test for disease on frogs and came positive for Chytrid fungus thank god I caught it spend a lot of money for treatment
That was my worst experience on tikis geckos
I ain’t talking crap but maybe u should stick with geckos or any other reptile and not amphibion
It was probably just your frog because the ones I’ve ordered have never had problems
@@oeoaa1919 well when I got my order I swab it in the container just in case I didn’t infect my other frogs so it’s definitely there frogs but I do get there crested geckos and there good
@@oeoaa1919 u know cytrid fungus spreads like wildfire so prb the rest of the frog got unless they separated them which I doubt bc then this wouldn’t be a issue ik u don’t care but I spend lots of money on my dart frogs and I don’t want them to die bc a seller doesn’t want to quarantine there frogs or at least test them before selling
