    How's it going folks. This was a long video to make but I think it came out great! Personally I think the gargoyle is the better of the 2, but everyone has a different opinion. What gecko head 2 head should we do next?

    The only reptiles i have are a leopard gecko and a ball python. My leopard gecko hates being touched lol my ball python is really sweet and comes to the door to come out. But my old roommate got a crested gecko and he was super chill to handle

    Dude, even if the content was yours, i think your video was following the reviews of Clint.s reptiles. Although it is always super cool to have those types of reviews, and I appreciate the feelings of all different experts breeders really a lot to help us ( thanks for your videos!) beware of all the crap that flying now in the community and Facebook 🤪. But keep the good work and it will pay 😅

      @devsie11915 Год назад

      Yea, it’s very similar to Clint’s but if you try to find a truly original idea online, you’ll be disappointed. He switched up the format a bit in that this is a head to head rather than a straight forward rating of one animal.

    Having kept all of them (and this is only my personal experience.... it obviously differs between personalities) Leachies > Chahoua > Crested > Gargoyle for handling Gargoyles are the only ones that can be a bit skittish and the other 3 are pretty much the same in different sizes

    As a gargoyle owner I have to say that they are the best not as derpy looking and real look of owning* a mini dinosaur! Also the selling point for me was that crested geckos if they loose their tail they become frog butts but gargoyles grow them back not as good / strong as the original but it grows back crested geckos don’t.

    I went to an expo expecting to get a crested but I ended up getting a gargoyle because I just fell in love with them. I know technically there is a lot of variation in the crested but ultimately they are mostly just shades of brown with slightly different patterns. The gargoyles have way more variation in bright oranges, reds, and yellows in totally different patterns. They were all super unique. But so far my baby gargoyle hates me and squeaks at me all the time and only eats crickets and isn't pooping enough and I'm so stressed out. 😭

    😮Please stop saying room temperature. Please state what temperature gradient you use with the enclosure size. Gargoyles and cresty's are being kept in the low 70s and even 60s all the time. 😢 then they are gotten rid of for being boring and not moving around from being too cold😢 i have 2 cresty' 2 gargoyles. 2 leos and a tokay. All are kept and proper lighting levels and care. I find with being in 36L x 18 x 24T my new Caledonians are very active especially when chasing their feeders. Love them. Love your videos. Keep it going. Got my Tokay girl at 2 years?old CB of course. I wanted one since I saw them the first time on one of the first animal tv series. Mutaual of Omahas wild kingdom. But my husband pushed by my friend bought me my Wish reptile. Only took 47 years to get her.

Some chahouas can be super agro though, they also like to latch on. I feel bad though, this one female chewie i took eggs from a week ago is really out to get me and i deserve it lol

    I honestly agree with the crestie starter recommendation, for me, I have a garg and crestie. Both of them are easy for me to balance and take care of, but yeah for the most part, I honestly say crestie but it's a luck of the draw, they both are equally pretty cool and both of em are little love bugs, im just a bit biased.

    I used to have a Gargoyle who would give any Tokay a run for their money, seriously.. back then i had the choice between a crested and a gargoyle and i just thought gargs were cooler (which i still stand by) but when it came to handleability (and that's what i wanted to do so much with mine) mine was simply nuts.. rehomed him a few years back when i moved and never looking back.. if i ever decide to keep a gecko again i would honestly go for a Crested.. just my 2 cents..

    Own both love both both of mine do not eat pangea or anything like that because i’d rather feed them live and stock the crickets stomach with banana or something right before feeding (gut loading) and they’re both around the same but gargoyle geckos are SO insanely hard to find at least hear near pace fl but i got so lucky with mine he’s a rescue and yeah! i have mine in a 24 inch tall 18 inch wide tank and it works amazing for my gargoyle gecko but my crested is just in a normal 12 by 8 i think i can’t remember dimensions but once he grows ill upgrade he’s been shedding insanely fast and i have springtails and isopods in both and i do have my gargoyle gecko in a bit warmer tank mainly just more humidity because their skin is less durable than a crested gecko but yes they can live in a replica of a crested gecko tank and when i handle my crested gecko he’s a little flighty but my gargoyle gecko is awesome he’s so calm no matter what but both amazing pets for the hobby

  • @kyrna5193
    @kyrna5193 9 месяцев назад +1

    Have both, adore both! I would have to give advantage to Gargs because they seem less likely to drop a tail and can regrow if they do! Don't get me wrong, my frog butt is adorable, but his little polka dot tail was really sad to lose. Not to mention that there wasn't even a good reason to drop it. He was flustered that I cleaned his tank and freaked when he fell in his water bowl (which he normally loves and sits in voluntarily 🙄) You can't go wrong, just be patient and gentle, most individuals of either species will come around! ❤

  • @caeciliadamour2938
    @caeciliadamour2938 8 месяцев назад +1

    I think the answer is 100% a personal preference. I personally don't care much for leopard geckos, between crested and gargoyle i have to admit its pretty close. I don't know much about what kind of enclosure a gargoyle needs (only looked into care for the animal I should be getting come warmer weather, which is a crestie)
    I wish i didn't live in this small place.... reasonably I could maybe get 2 more enclosures for cresties (18x18x24). For a gargoyle it looks like i needs bigger because they seem bigger.
    As always nice informative video with a little fun factor.

      I breed gargs as a hobby and work for another breeder. Prices have really dropped on them, I've had to sell super nice babies for under $300 so I can afford my text books. Wholesale price for them has basically cut in half over the year. I still love them and will never give them up. Blotched gargs still seem to be in demand, though.
