This channel actually gives the right info about leopard geckos
I like your profile pic
momo
LMAO your picture scared me so hard
Pls change that pfp
That pic used to scare me so hard but I’ve seen it so many times that it doesn’t even look creepy anymore
I've had this leopard geko for 11 years. Previous owners rarely fed him. he has been eating like a champ for 8 years and loving life :)
Judy C Harvey aww how sweet
update is he still alive
As of today 6 June 2021, he is still alive!
@@judycharvey5790 yay!
I glanced at the thumbnail and i swear it was a gecko eating noodles...
David Tsang those are a huddle of meal worms
David Tsang exactly
Me 2😂😂
Those were meal worms dried up
Ong
My bearded dragon stared at the crickets hungrily.
thank you for existing
I just got a leopard gecko, and this video was very helpful! subbed!
***** thank you :D
Should have watched these before getting one
Hey is your gecko doing good? I got a leopard gecko too, and I just saw the v-shaped "pre-anal holes." It's official. My gecko is a boy. Mine is looking pretty healthy, fat tail, bright colors, shedding enough, eating well.
@@vinxe1161 well some people know the amount but it's still good too do research even when u get it because you want the best and things change with the gecko so I'm sure she just wanted to make sure with other information
Vinxe shut the fuck up
I would love to know how you edit your videos as they always look professional and very cool
Me only getting a gecko in 4 months but still stalking this channel watching as much videos as I can hehe
Same here
It is now 2019 and I'm a new leapord gecko owner, I stumbled across the videos you mentioned at the end while doing my research, awful people!!
how’s your gecko??
I like that you always clarify about the two different powders. When I first got my gecko I didn't find anything about the vitamin powder till I found your channel. Lucky I found this before I got her. She's chunkier and healthier than when I got her so thank you for your channel. It's helped so much
I’m getting a leopard gecko in 12 days and I cannot wait! I’ve been watching your videos and I finally feel confident enough to be able to care for a gecko!! Love your vids💕
Congrats and good luck!
I am so happy about this channel. I am hoping to get a leopard gecko for Christmas. My parents think I am responsible but what would I do with my Leo for college. I told them my dream college, canton college and they except pets. So I hope I get one for Christmas! Thank you so much! You really changed my life with these videos.
Great video as usual. So glad I found your channel because I am now confident I know how to look after a leopard gecko, without being misinformed by pet shop staff or incorrect information online. It infuriates me that right now, leopard geckos are being cared for on a sand substrate with heat lamps, or not being fed any supplements, or like you mentioned in the video, being fed food that is way too big for them. :(
One quick question though, is it okay to put Eco earth straight on top of the heat mat inside my wooden vivarium, or should there be something inbetween?
Jemma Vine aww thank you :D yes its such a shame, sometimes it feels like its the individual leopard gecko owners vs the big corporate pet business. I just hope I can reach as many people as possible, before they put their geckos in bad conditions. Yeah you can put the eco earth on top, but dont make it too thick, as the heat wont be able to travel through.
Leopard Gecko It really is sad. I've been asked by my neighbours to look after their two leopard geckos while they go on holiday, and of course I said yes. I'll be going over to see them soon, I'm just praying that I don't go round there to find that they're on sand or have a lamp. It would be such a shame and I would hate to try and tell them that it's wrong, especially as I don't know them very well.
Anyway, thanks for the answer, I'm really looking forward to getting a leopard gecko!
oh i know how you feel, because a friend of mine got a gecko shortly after me, but he put it on calci sand, because the reptile shop told him too, and finally after lots of hints from me (because you dont want to be too blunt or rude), he changed it, but i didnt realise he chose wood chippings! :( sadly the gecko didnt last very long, and died shortly after. :/
Leopard Gecko Terrible. If only everyone knew how to look after them properly. So even reptile shops can suggest bad things... I haven't been able to find a local breeder but I have found a reptile shop, I'm visiting it this weekend to see if it's any good or not. From the website it looks great, but I'll soon find out for myself, as I guess some places only care about the money and not so much about the animal welfare.
yeah its good that you're going to check it out first. Fortunately diego was on reptile carpet when i bought him, and since i had owned leos for a while at that point, the lady in the shop didnt go through all the 'info' :')
I usually keep a supply of mealworms in a bowl for my Leo's 24/7, they won't eat them all at once sometimes it takes them 2-3 days. Most breeders do it this way with good success because it keeps your geckos weight good. It is 100% healthy and safe
One day I realized I hadn't fed my leopard gecko in 5 days it was really late at night and I was feeding him I think it was like 3 in the morning which I never do I never feed him that early in the morning but I just wanted him to eat and I wanted to go to bed because I felt really bad I hadn't fed him I usually feed him every 3 or 4 days he won't take any food any earlier than that but as I was feeding him I wasn't waiting the appropriate time that he likes to wait in between each worm and I was feeding him faster than I normally do and I actually almost killed my gecko all the worms started coming back up in his throat and he was choking to death I was able to pull some of the worms out with my longer tweezers and he was able to swallow the other ones but I'm not going to lie I panicked I started crying I thought I had killed my gecko but he is safe and I learned from that experience and I've never done that again he likes to wait about 30 seconds in between each I make sure that he Chomps down on the head of the worm and kills it before it goes into his stomach. I want to thank you so much for the videos that you make I have learned quite a bit from you and I appreciate you taking the time to educate people because I love my Ricky
I got so worried reading this! But I'm relieved to hear that he's ok!
Trisha Audette how to tame your gecko
have you heard of commas... or periods
That's so disturbing
Was he ok?
Im actually receiving a rehomed leopard gecko soon! From what I know he’s very sassy and a good eater and he’s so cute! So I love that everyone loves this channel
I put 10-13 mealworms in my gecko's food bowl and he usually eats almost all of them, so for me that's a good amount
Great video. My Leopard Gecko switches from having me feed it in the morning to then letting the food run free until night time.
I've found that half of the reptile videos on RUclips are ones of people being cruel when they feed their animals. It's a good mark for the hobby, and it just infuriates me. I'm not even the type to get too upset at live mouse feedings with snakes (still seems a bit irresponsible and meant to get a rise out of viewers, but some snakes just eat live....), but when people are feeding leopard geckos their own tails, then we have a problem. As for amounts of feedings, I feed my cave gecko on a similar regimen, though with a good deal less food. I just don't have as much heat on him and the species is smaller in general.
Marina McKinley yeah there was a video where someone housed their leo with an african fat tailed gecko, which shouldnt happen. And the leo was clearly stressed and had dropped its tail, so the person put the tail infront of it and tried to encourage it to eat it. it was disgusting :( there's also a video of a leo eating a live mouse, and as you said, some snakes so that, but i think with leos, a live, rather large mouse, is just ridiculous, and so so cruel, plus that puts the leo in danger too. Ahh i guess we cant change everything, but its a shame these kind of videos are still up online :(
Leopard Gecko I remember seeing these two idiots putting a knight anole (you know, the huge ones) with a bearded dragon. I don't know what they were doing, but they clearly wanted to see them fight each other which they did. It irritates me because if people posted videos of dogs doing this or of a person feeding a dog a live animal or part of its own body, then it would immediately be banned. No such case with reptiles, I guess...
Marina McKinley yeah :( what an idiot. Its frustrating youtube doesnt do too much in regards to animal abuse, especially when people post videos of their animals in unacceptable environments, and even promote these environments :/
I seen that video with the AFTG and LG, really upsetting. I even seen a video saying you can house them together, appalling!
FaZe RicHy Yes, leave a few in over night. just be sure to remove the uneaten ones in the morning. The gecko is up and about at night, so I feel safe leaving food with them. In the day when they sleep, I try to remove uneaten feeders. I keep species other than leos that must be fed in this way.
You are literally a God send oml you made me so much more confident on how to feed my gecko
Yay, I've been waiting for this video lol, anyone else :D
***** lol :)
This is the one channel I turn to if I have questions about geckos.
Thank you so much! I might be getting a leopard gecko, and this helps A TON!!! Thanks :)
P.S. I made sure to subscribe :D
This is the best channel undebatable
@Jade yes I think that would be fine :)
Would it be ok if you gave your gecko only gut loaded crickets or do you need the variety of crickets and meal worms?
+Caitlyn Joys YES
i am looking at getting a gecko what powders do you use and how much/often
what if your gecko is shy about other food
I rescued two from a bad home and never owned em before so this helped a lot just a quick question tho do I put fruit in with meal worms before giving them to the geckos? And I've had them for two days and they haven't eaten a thing they are between 6-12 months and looks like a few tips of the claws on the male are missing they haven't been looked after at all well is the best thing for me to do take them to a pet shop and enquire about this or try and just make sure they are looked after from now on by myself they do seem happy and get about ok just abit concerned as you can imagine
Your videos are very helpful! I'm really glad that I found your channel. I do not own a leopard gecko yet, but when I do I really want to be as prepared as possible and I'm learning a lot from your videos!
Wait I just started watching your channel and I would like to know how often how much and what do you feed your crested gecko
This was very helpful.Thankyou so much!
How Often & How Much Do You Feed a Leopard Gecko? :P
Lol 😂🤣
Hi! Give Red Runners a try if you can get them. They are fast moving, softer bodied, and the adults are the perfect size for most Geckos! :D
Green Banana Roaches are equally great, but adults can fly and climb. Runners can do neither, but move quickly! Great for feeding response and they usually have an attractive smell to most insectivorous herps.
Btw please do a video on how much and often you feed your gecko please :)
When people ask refer them to this an other videos that you talk about feeding 👍👏your videos are so good I've been reading about my daughter's leaperd geckos and your videos are just as good as any book i have read thank you I've been sending your videos to my daughter so she becomes a wonderful owner of this beautiful animals.
5 crickets and 10 worms every 4 days
Thank you so much. I'm new to Leopard Geckos and finding knowledgeable people hasn't been that easy. Spot ( my albino leopard) has been growing and active since we got her(?) But I've been feeding her once a week. Usually 20-25 crickets or 4-5 wax worms. Im an idiot and so glad I found your channel.
We got a leopard gecko yesterday how do you know how old it is make a video please for more information 😃
If it has stripes, it's a baby. They turn into spots as the gecko ages (this only applies to wild type Leos). Babies often scream/bite, and young geckos are more excited around food, less accurate when hunting, and get spooked more easily. Hope this helped!
Fiona Shepley Well,it actually depends on the morph because not all morphs have stripes
Payden Chance
how long is the gecko 5 inches are like 3 months
My 10yr old daughter and I have been researching leopard geckos for the last month and use your vids as a super guide!! :) We went to the Southaven, MS Repticon convention and purchased our first little baby. He was born July 13, 2017. I know we can't tell if it's a he or she, but we've decided to refer to him as a he and my daughter named him Gizmo. She said it's a good name for a boy or a girl. He's a Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail Leopard Gecko! Wow! What a mouthful lol Gonna try to post a pic in this comment:
I feed my gecko 2 or 3 crickets a day and he's 3 years old
Max newman WAY TOO MUCH
Margaret Faucher nah that’s too much
Jesus Rivera how said I was? That’s feeding an adult way too much food.
Jesus Rivera imagine deleting your comment saying i’m not funny. turns out you’re just an idiot.
spongey boi gaming just, watch the video. and you’ll find out you’re wrong.
My 8year old gecko stopped taking food for 3 weeks, tried different kinds of foods (like grub pie) and wax worms helped get her appetite back. So they do work sometimes.
When I bought my geko nobody at petco never told me to give them vitamins
Petstores give terrible advice. You need vitamins unless you want your gecko to get metabolic bone disease
Me either
This is so helpful! Especially for my future baby (or adult, I don’t know yet) leopard gecko
wait when you said nymphs you meant dubia roaches right??
So thankful for your videos! I appreciate the time and effort you give to make us RUclipsrs better leo owners!
What happens if you over feed them?
Gabriel Cush then they get overweight and unhealthy.
I realy love your videos so much you realy help me get ready for my lepard gecko because me and my parents have decided to get me one for my birthday and you realy have made a difference in my life thank you.And I will use supplements for sure.
My geckos 2 years old and he will never come out of his hide and I want to see him more it defeats the purpose of having one what do I do?
Are you using a heat lamp or any type of light? That could be the issue as Leopard Geckos have sensitive eyes. What I usually do is keep my bedroom window shades open to let in natural light so they can distinguish night and day and it wont bother it because its not in direct sunlight aswell.
Grant Worrell mine does that too.
Think if you are a gecko you are prey - You would only come out for food or to poop, drink lick calcium etc. Hence why they do not come out that often.
They are nocturnal for one. Mine only come out when the sun has set. Sometimes early morning as well. Also they use heating pads to digest food and they will lay on it for the entire day.
@@lesliebuenrostro3859 do you still use anything for heat though?
My gecko loves wax warms. Lol he hates meal worms, any hard shell insect. Crickets are his main meal. He's a picky guy and makes it clear. Lol
i have no problems with cricket and mealworms but when i heard or see roaches i would say to myself NO!!!
Same 😂
I got a leopard gecko today!
You are my go-to channel for info and tips😂
I swear your videos are so good!
My gecko eats ANYTHNIG!!! Once my gecko ate a ladybug
Are you intentionally feeding him some wild insects? That's not a good idea
My gecko once accidently ate a piece of vegetable and she seemed to like it idk lol
did you feed it to him on purpose? you shouldn't feed them wild bugs. it needs the correct supplements and you don't know what it could have been eating. that could seriously harm, or even kill, your gecko.
Once I move I'm getting a leopard gecko for my bday that's in September or something like that. Ur channel is preparing me and the only person I have had before is turtles, guinea pigs, and many many fish right now I have a baby betta
Can a leopard gecko eat mealworms
yes if u have the right temp on your hot side then they will have no problem digesting them
Bubble gum Lover yes
yes, you can get them online or at local pet stores. you do need to dust them with the correct supplement for nutritional value, though.
But don’t u have to buy like 300 a month for a baby leopard gecko cuz they would eat like ten a day
Probably but mealworms are super cheap
Just by the way everyone According to a couple vets in my area any typical food (such as fruits and veggies does not actually count as gutloading for your cuties) so commercial gut loaders are typically your best bet if you’re just feeding your crickets and not gutloading them fruits and veggies work perfectly
Fruits and veggies are fine for gutloading them...
No offense to anyone, but how would you not know how often to feed them? You're supposed to research for a reason(so you can look after the gecko), so if you're asking that you'd kinda sound like you're not a responsible owner.
No offence but alot of people say different answers cause I did research for months and months and still am and they always say something different (or at least the stuff i watch is different) and she has been doing this a very long time and they want to know from someone with a lot of experience
Everybody says something different because evry gecko is different. Some like to eat once a wewk some like to eat a few times a week. Some eat 10 crickets per feeding others eat 5-8. And this could be apart of their research before they get their new gecko.
What the hell are you even talking about? This IS the research. This is STILL the information you search for on how to feed the cricket. Since you already know how to feed crickets, this video isn't for you then.
lucky ducky Yeah but the main things that they eat are the things that are written over and over again on each website.
Brianna Peffley I didn't say it wasn't research, but what they eat is so easy to figure out that you shouldn't have to ask someone to make a video on it.
Would like to mention, you can feed your crickets dandelion leaves to get natural calcium. Although a back up pot of calcium powder wouldnt be a bad idea.
This realy helps im geting a pet leapoard gecko in 28 days i wont stop researching about them!
Thank you so much. I'm getting my gecko pretty soon and all information kind of confused be because it just says 15 minutes. All your video helps me a lot and I now feel me excited
Basically how much they eat in 15 minutes
So glad I found you because I am planning to get a first leopard gecko is a few months and from a reputable breeder....
this is so helpful! my leopard gecko, Aizen arrives tomorrow! it’s a albino baby, i’m so exited!!
hows it doin?
I'm soooo glad I found your channel. I've found so much information even more then I've found while googling
Plz do a vid about how much $ would a leopard gecko and it's care supplies cost in all . I love your channel and would love it if u did that vid!!!
Thank you so much my mom would not have got me the gecko I have now because you educated me and told be everything I need to know now I needed to clean up on feeding again but your channel helped me so much
I've found my 3 month old eats about 5 dubia nymphs before she is no longer interested. I can sneak in a few small meal worms after. Works fairly well for my beardy too
Beardy is just a few weeks old btw. He's only about 4 inches rn head to tail before you get mad at me for not feeding him enough lol
Thank you very much!! You really helped me, thease videos are more important than people think. Thank you!
thank you for clearing these things up!! i can now make sure to take better care of my daughter
Thank you for all the tips and help. I'm going to get my first gecko in February and thank to you I know how to take care of him or her 😀
We rehome two juveniles. I had a cool LG when i was a teenager, but I'm 40 years old and a lot has changed. They are very skinny and i just got done dishing out a but load of red runners and D roaches.
Just curious, are they housed together?
I feed my blizzard morph male, Casper, anywhere from 12-15 mealworms at a sitting, and it seems to work great. I've also started giving him 2-4 dubia nymphs now and again as a treat.
My leopard gecko mainly eats around 10-15 crickets a week. She loves mealworms, but I have to seriously monitor eating them because she is so greedy for them she will eat and eat and eat them until she gets sick later so I limit her to no more than 5 a week or so.
I recommend offering more variety. Dubia roaches, silkworms, and black soldier fly larvae can be fed regularly. Hornworms and superworms can be fed occasionally.
This video helped me a lot with my research on Leopard Geckos. I'm trying to get one myself:)
I feed mine about 15 every 3 days, or 10-12 if I go every other. She's 8 years old now and going strong!
15 of what?
@LeopardGecko I have watched your vidoes for almost every question I had. I always found out the answer and more. Thank you.
i might be getting a leopard gecko and your vids have really helped me
When my geckos tail fell off it was so disturbing and sad but then when it regrew it was actually really pretty 😍
This was very helpful as I'm a soon to be leopard gecko owner of 1-2 geckos, this really helped as I was struggling on finding what to feed them etc. (And idc if this was made in 2015 I'm here in 2018, suck it up ;) ))
Rachel Autumn.valley if you get two make sure they’re housed separately
My 4-year-old gecko used to eat only waxworms. I’m still in the process of switching her over to Dubia roaches but she is pretty stubborn. Wish me luck.
Hi I love your vids you give advice on Leopard geckos and it helps a lot🦎🦎🦎
I love this Chanel it help learn what I need to do when I get a lapord geco
Many thanks for your wonderful and informative videos. I am soon to get my first ever Leopard Gecko ( At 53) andI can't wait. Like a kid at Christmas > :)
I have a three month old leopard gecko that gives me a hard time eating. He eats a couple overnight every now and then and I’ve tried multiple insects. Recently got dubia roaches and he seems to like them the best and even went a whole week straight eating at least one a day(not a lot but better than nothing) I just yesterday adopted another about three month old chunky little boy and did his first feeding and he just ate and ate and ate and that’s why I’m here bc i thought he would just stop when he was full but I think he might be one to eat nonstop lol. I’ll be sure to keep tract of how much he eats and try to keep him healthy. I was super shocked at how well he did compared to my other one. Just goes to show how different they can be
Just wondering, are they housed together?
Fiona Shepley Nope! They’re just neighbors 😅 They each have their own enclosure dw
My gecko has his meal worm dish full of calcium, not to much though, Since he doe sent pic at calcium I put the meal worms in calcium dish, So he eats it, He loves it :3 Im glad I got him eating, He used to be force fed.. He's a rescue, Not fully healthy :3
Awesome videos, helps alot ❤ I've learned so much from you ❤ so when I do finally get my leopard gecko it's gonna be very happy and very well taken care of 😁
they can also eat the sparkling beetles since mine really doesn't like crickets
I was feeding mine about 6pm after it’s light went out(it’s on a time) but I noticed it get a bit too jumpy with seeing shadows. After less than a week he learned when feeding time was and would come out of hiding about that time and wait by the front of the glass.
thanks for the info on pinky mice. ive seen that vid and ive seen the one the praying mantis and have read that you can feed them pinky mice and i thought about doing that but i dont think i will at all
I would feed my gecko 3 or 4 crickets per day and few meal worms dusted with vitamin and calcium power for 4 days. After that I would feed him 5 worms and one cricket per day as long as he would eat. That way if I wasn’t home to feed him one day he would be ok. And yes I would also but load the crickets and meal worms first. He lived a LONG time.
This video helped me sooo much! I’ve always wanted a leopard gecko but I felt worried that I didn’t know enough about them to get one. Your videos are so helpful and enjoyable to watch! Keep going you’re doing great!! ❤️
Rewatched this video because I think my gecko is 7 months old and I feed her meal worms every day to ever other day. Anyways, can you make another video about impaction. My gecko got impacted after she ate 12 large crickets because she didn't know she didn't have to eat all of them. So I have been feeding her meal worms since then. And I got her crickets for Christmas and she actually ate them slowly. But I bathed her everyday in warm water and olive oil on the nose to make things smoother. But it was hard to find this info. Anyways love your videos and always recommend you at work
Please can u make an feeding schedule so then people including me know when/Wat day to feed them and what to feed them. I would appreciate this thanks
When she said there are some geckos that will eat anything well that describes my leopard gecko
i keep thinking about feeding my Geckos separately so that I know what they are actually eating. I had one that gets real fat another that's not to bad and a smaller one who seems to not bother too much.
I switched to some smaller crickets and the small one became a hunting machine but the trouble is the food runs off into all the little hiding places and I don't see them eating too much. So the idea came to mind to buy a small tank in which to put my Gecko with a couple of crickets at a time so they have no where to hide. It was that or hand feed her but it would be nice to see her active.
Your videos are amazing! Keep up the great work! I hope soon I will get a Mack Snow Leopard Gecko and these videos really help me out. I am really hoping to breed leopard geckos and I would enjoy a video on how to breed leopard geckos. Thx so much for the videos keep up the great work!
do neat Daniel. so proud of how much you know about your geico.
Question: I’ll be getting a 2 month old leopard gecko in about a week and will be farming/breeding mealworms for her. Should I go with daily feedings and see how many she’ll eat?
Mealworms are absolutely not healthy for their main diet and should only be fed occasionally.
Feed her mainly live crickets or Dubia roaches daily. As many as she’ll eat in fifteen minutes.
My gecko has a dislocated jaw that has not healed right so she has trouble eating I mainly feed her meal worms and crickets and some wax worms every now and again
I have a Leopard gecko this is so helpful thank you
Researching leopard gecko hopefully looking at getting one. Your channel is really helpful.
Just one question
Do you let the live feed out into the tank so your gecko has to look for it or do you use tongs????
Both methods are fine. Letting them hunt is enriching for them, you just need to remove any uneaten insects. The annoying thing is they can hide or be too fast for the gecko. I personally mainly tong/hand feed nowadays. If you move the tongs away from the gecko they can still “chase” the insect.
Oh my, i have been over feeding my guy with crickets!!!! He's starting to gain weight
Mine is about 1 year and I give him 8 meal worms and 1-3 crickets every day and he has been doing fine but that’s just my gecko it might be different for others.
I strongly recommend changing his diet. Adult geckos should be fed every 3-4 days (twice a week), every day is too often. Mealworms are not healthy for their main diet, as they’re fatty and difficult to digest. Feeding him mealworms everyday will make him overweight if he isn’t already. Crickets or Dubia roaches are healthiest for their main diet, and there are many worms you can use for variety. The more variety the better. Sorry if I seem harsh, genuinely trying to help you and your gecko! :)
I love how she says some geckos will eat anything in front of them when one time mine ate dust. He literally eats anything so I have to be extra careful. The only thing he won’t eat are dead insects. Lol
I just got a leopard gecko like two days ago but we’ve had him for three months my dad wanted me to search this and I think I should feed him for feeding items because we feed him the alarms and crickets and calcium powder so I’m guessing also that I should give him a treat
