    Do you accept a kidney, arm or leg as payment for your gecko?

    On the topic of Patient Zero, could you do a video on the 'unique' cresties in the hobby (Patient Zero, Frazil, Mr. Shrimp, etc)? And a video on the RCK Melanistic would also be pretty cool! I know Tiki's just did a video on it, but your thoughts are something I'd be interested to hear!

    I bought my Lilly white crested gecko for 1000 british pounds 2 years ago just to have as a pet. They can live 20+ years so I didn't think it was unreasonable at all to spend more to get the one I liked the most. People pay more than that for their favorite kinds of dogs and cats that live much shorter lives.

      it's definitely something you do if you're insanely passionate or breeding. Animals this expensive are a great investment if you're planning on it. Eventually I'll get my hands on one simply to admire the colour and structure 😅

    I wouldn’t feel right selling a gecko for 20K, you can’t say it’s not about the money when you’re selling geckos for that much.

    • @AltitudeExotics
      @AltitudeExotics  3 года назад +2

      I've never said it's not about the money. This is my job, my career, how I pay my bills and feed my family. My job is about the money just like yours or anyone's. I also happen to absolutely love what I do for a living. The two are not mutually exclusive.

    • @TylerSpite
      @TylerSpite 3 года назад +1

      @@AltitudeExotics yeah you have, you said before it wasn’t about the money, it was about being able to watch the geckos grow up and the money was just a perk because it allowed you to do what you wanted to do for a living, which is great. But like I said idc what a gecko looked like, I could never sell one for that much money and feel good about it. But That’s just my opinion and that’s because I believe the crested gecko market prices are outrageous and when geckos sell for this much all it does it feed more into ridiculous pricing of geckos simply because of its color and head shape. I do believe a quality gecko from a breeder should come with a premium price but where do we draw the line?

    • @AltitudeExotics
      @AltitudeExotics  3 года назад +1

      Every person gets to draw the line for themselves. That's the best part, purchasing one is completely optional! :)

    I honestly think it’s stupid and outrages for a person to really thinks it’s alright to spend 20k on a lizard, it’s way over priced and it’s only overpriced because breeders persuade people that it’s worth that much, and people being people will buy it at that ridiculous price, if people actually used their heads for once and stop buying over priced reptiles, these animals would only worth going into a $1000 dollars or so at max, instead they all paying thousands of dollars for a lizard that eats shits hides and sleeps it’s whole life.

    • @danielwi2001
      @danielwi2001 3 года назад +3

      Whats your problem?
      You dont have to buy a lizard for that much, just let the ppl do it, if they think its worth that much.
      Noone should blame anyone for theyr decisions.
      I think its pretty cool that Brian can make a good living out of breeding crested geckos.
      He does an awesome job!

      You like defending Brian huh? What? Are you kissing his ass too? I stated my opinion and I’m entitled to say whatever I want, and it’s true tbh, 20k for a lizard it’s stupid it’s outrages and over priced, if only people were so willingly to give 20k to help end hunger and help homeless children ect, instead people think it’s ok to pay 20k for a lizard because breeders tell them too, it’s stupid!! Thousands of dollars given away for a lizard that eats and shits and hides and sleeps for the rest of its life. Idiots!!
