Found a baby one freezing to death in the middle of the day here in Vegas. It was super windy and he was out in the open. Got him in a cup and got him set up nicely in my bearded dragons old 20 gallon tank from when he was young
We just caught one in our home over the weekend and decided to keep him because we have lots of predators around... mostly roadrunners, owls, and stray cats. I have done so much research over the weekend, and your video by far has been THE most informative out of all the info I sorted through! Thank you so much! Our little Cosmo thanks you, too! 🦎
I searched and found your vid because I found a house gecko on my back deck behind the light fixture. He was the first one I’ve ever seen. Geckos are cute. I left him alone and left the light on for him to attract bugs. I wanted to catch him but he’s better off outside in his natural environment. If I ever see him again I’ll give him a name. 😊
That's the whole point of my channel. I feel like the more people that can spread awareness about reptile and amphibians in general. We can help to change the people's perception about them.
Found one of these guys in my bathtub this morning. Thanks to this video, I know what he needs to thrive. He's now setup in a new enclosure and looking more relaxed and calm. I'm in Texas and didn't realize this species is invasive and has spread to every continent (except Antarctica). It's been triple digit heat(100F+) here for over a week, so I'm surprised he came inside where it's cooler.
I have a tiny baby gecko I found in my son’s room. We have him in a small glass creature habitat enclosure. We have been feeding him flightless fruit flies dusted with repticalcium. I’ve been using distilled water to spray the enclosure and eco earth expandable coconut fiber. It seems like the coconut fiber is too soft. I also have the creature habitat heater that sticks to the bottom. Not sure what I’m doing and it’s really hard to find consistent instructions for these little guys.
Amazing video!!! I grew up having this beautiful geckos around my house walking on the walls and hunting small inscects ;) Beautiful job just subbed!! Hope you are well my gecko's fan friend !! Regards :)
I’ve got two of these that were caught at work, newly hatched in central Georgia, I’ve got them inside so probably need to rig up a heat source and work on the humidity
Nice and informative. I discovered a 1.5" med gecko on floor of my bathroom apt, don't know How he or she found its way into our Apt. (Westchester County, NY), December 2022, I named it Christmas, lol. I caught it after a few tries, had it in tubaware till next day, where at Petco I bought a 10gal setup and its happy with the inviorment. You mentioned they can or should be in pairs, at their size, how can you determine male and female?
Well I wouldn’t really worry about sexing them but just making sure to have more than one. They tend to like to live in groups or close proximity to each other!
@@JosuesExotics I understand companionship is a good idea,, but I've heard two males in the tank may bring hostility. So how can I even find another 3" Mediterranean house gecko..?
I just found like 6 or 7 of these outside on my front porch. They are feasting on the bugs that congregate around my front porch light... As I walked inside I saw about 5 of them go up into the roof over the porch!
I had 3 hitchhike from Florida to rhode island so thank you so much I'm finding it heard to find a lot about enclosures and pet care. So this is really helpful!
Great and informational video! I just got a new baby house gecko and he hasn't eaten anything since I got him. (It's been 3 days.) About long can they go without food? Also any tips on how to get him to eat? I've been trying to give him small meal worms and fruit flies.
I would try to get super small crickets and kinda let them stay on the cage for like a day or so. They’ll usually eat when you let them take their time!
If you live in Georgia or north Florida or California you can :Georgia wild tegus and iguanas, : California blue tailed skinks, sagebrush lizards western fence lizards, :Florida, Florida scrub lizard, eastern fence lizard, blue tailed skinks are invasive.
So i just caught one of these guys last weekend at my mom's house. I'm trying to learn how to care for it, and right now my biggest question is how often do i need to clean the cage, and change the substrate( using coconut mulch) and moss??? Thank u so much!
@@JosuesExotics thank u so much for the reply!!! I have a new occurrence...i went to spray the cage, to raise the humidity, when i got home work, and i checked to see if they were still in the log...they weren't so i lifted it up to find two eggs! 😱 I'm freaking out....do u know anything about caring for babies if they are to hatch?
Coming in now to say I have 3 I caught 2 months ago and they all have been friendly (even caught them being too friendly😳) just make sure to have hiding spots for each and check for bites👍🏻
Hey so I need help, I’ve had mine since August and it stopped eating recently and is getting very skinny. What should I do??? I normally give him tiny mealworms from my mealworm farm and I make sure to dust them with calcium and vitamins but idk how to get him to eat again
My dad has just found one and its actually a baby, we worry he wont make it, I heard they eat small worms smaller then there head? I've had geckos before so we have a tank which I used for our starter tank with my Leachianus but I know all geckos arent the same, so any tips would be so helpful.
I have a question I have a baby house gecko (like you have) and i have a tararium that my dad (it has gecko dirt for the floor) build i give my gecko larvas and today when i tried to find him he disapeared help I know my english is not really good but plase help me 😟
It’s most likely gone forever like the mourning gecko, you should never take your eyes off them when they’re out of their enclosure or they’ll most likely disappear
Do you mind if i ask if the bite hurts or dangerous? they aren't very common here so i dont want to buy one and just end up not taking care of it correctly. im wondering if i should still get a heat lamp because it can get very hot here in the philippines lol
Yessssss I just found one outside and I wanna keep him (even though I already have a leopard gecko and hamster,2 dogs and a cat,my parents said I can keep him)
ChickenBoi1997 they’re really common! I would always recommend buying one online than taking one from outside though! But sounds like you have a good amount of pets as well! I love leopard geckos! I definitely want to get one of those soon!
It was mealworms but I let him go on his own i just found him in my cellar, probably shouldn't have taken him to begin with. But I'm getting a leapord gecko tomorrow!
I just got a couple of these I caught in my backyard myself. I was reading an article about them and it says they are all female but asexualso you shouldn't have to worry about keeping them separated
@@bryanhawes1782 pretty sure thats a mourning gecko your talking about these geckos are different They have separate male and female genders, I think you mistook them for a mourning gecko.
I have a gecko and I feed him like every 2 days with ants, is it ok? And I also have noticed that he sometimes when I get my face close to his enclosure, he looks at me and when I move my face he moves his. It’s kind of creepy, is it ok what I’m doing, what I’m feeding him with, and also what he’s doing? Please I need an answer, helpppppp
I hope you guys are enjoying the videos! Let me know down in the comments! If you would like!
I sure did
Great! Thanks for the feedback!
My pleasure 🙏🏻
Albert's reptiles 😎
Very informative video. New sub.
Found a baby one freezing to death in the middle of the day here in Vegas. It was super windy and he was out in the open. Got him in a cup and got him set up nicely in my bearded dragons old 20 gallon tank from when he was young
These guys a one of the most adaptable species in my book. They literally live everywhere in all climates!

That’s why I made this video! I noticed there wasn’t any information on this species!
I love RUclipsrs like you because they have a lot of cool reptiles
I have some more to come in the future as well!

They are some pretty awesome geckos! I throughly enjoyed having them in my care besides them being a free reptile lol
It’s good to increase public awareness about ecological importance of lizards, great video
That's the whole point of my channel. I feel like the more people that can spread awareness about reptile and amphibians in general. We can help to change the people's perception about them.
Josue's Exotics I’m glad that you’re doing it
I really do appreciate it! It’s good to know what I’m doing is for good purpose!
You’re the only person talking about this ! Thank you!!!!
Glad I could have HELPED!
So educational, thank you !! Excellent channel !! # 1. 😁👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😁
Yes! I’m glad you enjoyed this video! This one was super fun to make!
@@JosuesExotics Thank you again for sharing!! Always great content...
Hey I just caught one tonight he small I love him alot
They are definitely cool little creatures!
ditto!
I just caught a lil baby! Came here looking for help.
Well look no further!
@@JosuesExotics I just got home with its lil enclosure and all its lil things. It's smaller than my pinky. lol
This species of gecko is a cutie!
But still nothing beats a leopard gecko:)
You may be right!
I catch these things every day around my house
A great cheap pet to have!
I have 4 mediterranean house geckos that live in a 20 gallon tank and spoiled as heck 😂
I should totally upgrade them to something bigger! I bet they love it though!
''Whoopty, b**ch im outside it's a movie''

These guys are such rewarding simple pets. I definitely enjoyed having them as part of the family!
I just discovered one a few days ago. He was FIESTY and aggressive AF- BIGMAD when I moved him. I made a new home for him and he’s been there since.
Found one in my house you helped a lot my son wants to keep it so I need this lol
Glad you could get something useful from this!
They’re too cute 🥺
I love these little guyz
You could also use repticalcium for your reptiles as well.
I think i seen that the other day. Great idea
This guy is going to be famous just watch
I hope so!
Wow I have some these outside my house, I always see them out side by the porch light at night
They’re pretty awesome little pets!

well it seems like your doing a good job. I would still use a light for them to help simulate a day and night cycle!
Amazing video!!! I grew up having this beautiful geckos around my house walking on the walls and hunting small inscects ;) Beautiful job just subbed!! Hope you are well my gecko's fan friend !! Regards :)
I love these little guys and geckos in general! I believe that may be what I start my collection around!
I found a really small one and I feel like crickets and roaches would be a little to big
These little guys are the best!
I really needed this video
Thanks a lot buddy 🙏🏻
Hey great video. Really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing. I'd love to live somewhere, where these little guys walk around freely hunting little insects.
If I can ever film some in the wild I’ll definitely post it!
I’ve got two of these that were caught at work, newly hatched in central Georgia, I’ve got them inside so probably need to rig up a heat source and work on the humidity
Yea they definitely need a good warm spot just keep them good and fed!

They are just everywhere! But they are great pets I’ll say that!
I just saw one that comes back every night.Im in Italy right now and my country does not have them.
I live in Spain and here in summer they are everywhere! They are super cute
They are pretty awesome pets to have!
I came to Spain last year and I saw 2.Now im Italy and there is one behind me :).But in my country there are none
Nice video, very educational :D Keep up the good job :D
Appreciate it! Let me know if there is anything I can do to make this enclosure better! Also check out the latest video as well!
I read the title so I already know that you have
Thanks!
I had 3 hitchhike from Florida to rhode island so thank you so much I'm finding it heard to find a lot about enclosures and pet care. So this is really helpful!
That's one of the reasons I start making videos on these guys. Another one coming soon!
Hey man! Im glad i came across this video. Im raising two (male and female) Mediterranean geckos. Underrated gecko af.
Most definitely! I love these little guys! Plus they’re super cheap to buy!
How old are they?
Their so cool 😎 When we go to south Italy for holidays , I like going out at night looking for them .
They are pretty awesome pets of I say so myself!

I feed these guys to my snek
They are a good food source! What kind of snake!
@@JosuesExotics Cali King
Awesome video bro. :)
Appreciate it man! I tried some new stuff in this video as well!
I found one that has the same body type, but it has white stripes and dots instead of black ones. What does that mean?
I mean it could be the same one or it could be something different I’m not sure!
Another great vid
Appreciate it! I try hard to make sure each video is better than the last!
Cute little guys
Most definitely
Wow man this one is cool too
Appreciate it !!!
If you live in Georgia or north Florida or California you can :Georgia wild tegus and iguanas, : California blue tailed skinks, sagebrush lizards western fence lizards, :Florida, Florida scrub lizard, eastern fence lizard, blue tailed skinks are invasive.
Appreciate the info! Didn’t know about the skinks!
Great video
Appreciate it! I’m getting a new snake in a couple of weeks!
I found a newly hatched one in Las Vegas, any advice? I have small tanks to use, what can I feed it? It’s the size of a pinky finger
I would either try to find pin head crickets or maybe some fruit flies until they are big enough to eat crickets
So i just caught one of these guys last weekend at my mom's house. I'm trying to learn how to care for it, and right now my biggest question is how often do i need to clean the cage, and change the substrate( using coconut mulch) and moss??? Thank u so much!
I clean all my animals cages at least once a month. Unless they're in a bio active setup.
Thats always best at least in my opinion. Lol
@@JosuesExotics thank u so much for the reply!!! I have a new occurrence...i went to spray the cage, to raise the humidity, when i got home work, and i checked to see if they were still in the log...they weren't so i lifted it up to find two eggs! 😱 I'm freaking out....do u know anything about caring for babies if they are to hatch?
I got 2 today but I’m scared that they might fight considering they are wild
It’ll probably be ok!
Coming in now to say I have 3 I caught 2 months ago and they all have been friendly (even caught them being too friendly😳) just make sure to have hiding spots for each and check for bites👍🏻
Hey so I need help, I’ve had mine since August and it stopped eating recently and is getting very skinny. What should I do??? I normally give him tiny mealworms from my mealworm farm and I make sure to dust them with calcium and vitamins but idk how to get him to eat again
I would try switching to crickets or some other feeders! Hopefully that will work and last resort you may have to force feed them.
is it okay if i can catch one and keep it as a pet im not really sure if its ok
Well the only time I would deem it necessary is if you're trying to captive breed animals. But you can buy house geckos online.
i want one so bad but I cant buy one and I cant find any outside. Do you ahve any tips to finding them?
Look for old abandoned houses or really old house they tend to like those types of environments. They’re usually under boards and thing!
My dad has just found one and its actually a baby, we worry he wont make it, I heard they eat small worms smaller then there head? I've had geckos before so we have a tank which I used for our starter tank with my Leachianus but I know all geckos arent the same, so any tips would be so helpful.
Like this ❤️🖤👌💯
Appreciate it!
I have found a baby Mediterranean gecko, probably about 1 week old. They have not ate any cricket I given them, please help.
I would just get some super small crickets and throw in there and leave overnight
Flyless fruitflies from petsmart
I have a question
I have a baby house gecko (like you have) and i have a tararium that my dad (it has gecko dirt for the floor) build i give my gecko larvas and today when i tried to find him he disapeared help
I know my english is not really good but plase help me 😟
It’s most likely gone forever like the mourning gecko, you should never take your eyes off them when they’re out of their enclosure or they’ll most likely disappear
@@symonsharif2929 he is probably somewhere around thw house or dead😕
😊 👍
🙏
Mr. Josue, do fruit flies work for adults?
I would just use small crickets!
@@JosuesExotics gotcha gotcha, thanks for the reply. 👍
Hey, random question. Cld I keep a green anole and Mediterranean gecko together
I wouldn't keep them together. Most species don't do well housed together.
Do you mind if i ask if the bite hurts or dangerous? they aren't very common here so i dont want to buy one and just end up not taking care of it correctly.
im wondering if i should still get a heat lamp because it can get very hot here in the philippines lol
No the bite doesn't hurt. But I would use a ceramic heat emitter if anything since they are a nocturnal species
I caught one and they're not even marked where I'm from I think he almost started and invasive species
They are every where now! They get pretty large for a gecko!
Yessssss
I just found one outside and I wanna keep him (even though I already have a leopard gecko and hamster,2 dogs and a cat,my parents said I can keep him)
ChickenBoi1997 they’re really common! I would always recommend buying one online than taking one from outside though! But sounds like you have a good amount of pets as well! I love leopard geckos! I definitely want to get one of those soon!
How do I get gecko
You may have to try to find it outside somewhere!
this gecko is out my house at night at greece
They're pretty cool to keep as pets!
@@JosuesExotics yess
hey, are these creatures very loud? (Is it acceptable to put one in the same room you are sleeping?)
They're super quiet!I currently have all my animals with me in my room!
@@JosuesExotics okay, thank you very much!
No problem!
Jesus i live in Spain and you can find them EVERYWHEREEEEEEE
I did a report on them there a little while ago. It’s so crazy we have them here as well!
@@JosuesExotics yeah its awesome
@@daughterofnature5564 I totally would love to visit Spain as well! Y’all have some pretty cool creature there as well!
I just caught one today and i love him. I have a few questions: How do you know their genders? Can they eat fruit?
From what i know they eat a insect only diet, about gender i dont know either...
@@leonardoboi6583 Thanks :)
The gender question I'm not sure about. But they definitely eat insects!
@@JosuesExotics Thanks :D
this is cool!! lets help each other
MINE WILL NOT EAT 😭
What are you feeding him?
It was mealworms but I let him go on his own i just found him in my cellar, probably shouldn't have taken him to begin with. But I'm getting a leapord gecko tomorrow!
I just caght 2 of em
They are pretty awesome. They will bite you though lol
Sup josue i have those in my house
I love these little guys! Where are they at?
Florida maimi
They are outside my house
Dang man! You’re so lucky!
how do i tell if they are a male or female?
That’s a valid question. Let me do some research and get back to you!
@@JosuesExotics okay thank you!!
I just got a couple of these I caught in my backyard myself. I was reading an article about them and it says they are all female but asexualso you shouldn't have to worry about keeping them separated
@@bryanhawes1782 pretty sure thats a mourning gecko your talking about these geckos are different
They have separate male and female genders, I think you mistook them for a mourning gecko.

I would try to go to petco and get the super small crickets or carry out crickets. Maybe even catch some moths outside or something.
@@JosuesExotics thank you!!
they are not geckos!!! they are lizards!!!
How come?
