HYBRID Crested Gecko x Chahoua, The Best Pet Lizard?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- Crested geckos and chahoua geckos (chewies) are two of the best pet lizards you could possibly get, but what happens when you breed the two together? Is this even possible? Yes it is, and this hybrid gecko is the result. So, since this crazy hybrid gecko exists, is it the best pet lizard for you? Clint explains hybrids, the controversy about them, the pros and cons, and helps you decide if this is the right pet reptile for you.

You guys are so RAD! 
Животные
It's okay to admit it, this video has you really excited about understanding genetics. Well, we have the perfect tool for you: ruclips.net/p/PLgtE7_5uJ2p5llSHOmJ1TAgEgolGpyhXB
These videos explain genetics using ball pythons as a model. Don't worry, it works the same way for everything that reproduces sexually. Enjoy!
Oh wow man.😃
Have you thought about reviewing white lined geckos? :)
Yes
Clint, this is my favorite video of yours to date. Partially because the lizard itself just seems so stinkin' rad, and partially because this video itself feels like a hybrid of two of your major video styles: the informative biology mini-lecture, and the 'five categories' pet ranking system. I don't know whether that was intentional, but using a new reptile to introduce a new genetics topic was pretty cool. Thank you!
When are you going to do an African Fat-Tailed Gecko video? I'm wondering a bit about it(hoping to maybe get one at sewerfest...), and there are few videos about it.
For the Minotaur we give him a handleability score of 0, run away it’s going to hurt you! But doesn’t drop his tail so that’s rad!
Having a minotaur is like having an incredible muscular dude with the temperament of a frightened bull in your house. You should never enter its enclosure, it will attack you no doubt when entering its territory.
Care requirements: several acres of labyrinth. You can’t buy that at Ecoterra so it’s going to be a custom build. Feed them a large sized human every couple of days, preferably gut loaded and dusted with calcium.
Overall, we give the minotaur a score of half out of five. It really isn't the best pet hybrid for anyone. So unless you want to have an hiper-powerfull punching assasin which you can never see in a part of your garden we do not recommend them, and even then get a satire instead. They have similar care requirements and overall aesthetic but they are much more handeable and love to be seen unlike the minotaur.
⚠️ warning: do not handle next to tar tar sauce
Despite the parent species getting along rather well, mating behavior between the two is rare. On occasions it does occur, the human parent is often exiled from their tribe.
I feel like the gecko is just buffering. Can we just change their name to Buffering geckos?
Great video, Clint. Very informative look into reptile hybrids. Love the name, too. Could also go with "Crewie"...lol.
That was definitely on the table :)
I couldn't stop thinking of the crested chewie and a disco style chewbaca...
One of the things that surprised me the most when I was getting into reptiles is how contrevertial hybrids are and how strongly most people are against it. Personally I think hybrids can be amazing as long as you choose what to mix mindfully and don’t just randomly toss two species together and see what’ll come from it. As long as it’s well thought through and there is a good valid reason for making that cross there shouldn’t be such a big problem, as long as the breeder is open and clear about what he bred and honest about what the exact cross is. The argument that it’s “unnatural” is a bit silly to me, since keeping animals in captivity in and of itself is the most unnatural thing about keeping reptiles no matter how well you try to simulate their natural habitat, so why is something being “unnatural” such a big problem to some people, that’s hard to understand for me xD
Also could you do a video in viper gecko’s? I’m looking into getting them and would love to hear what you have to say about them! I love your videos, keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Sorry to reply to this 10 month old common, but the more valid reasons I've seen to not really intentionally make many of these tend to have to do with muddling the gene pool (Which I believe clint touches on) and also just difference in mating behavior. I'm not 100% but I was told that Chewies are a bit more rough than Cresteds when it comes to mating, so the experience could be very stressful for the Crested.
That said, these hybrids are beautiful, and I think if done responsibly, they have a place in the hobby.
My neighbor actually breeds these 😂 he’s gotten me into it
we crossbreed species for thousands of years now.
I mean mule for example.
nothing new.
As long as they don't go the dog route
Morphs are unnatural, too. In the wild, most morphs would just die.
Clint: I love the Crested Geckos because of their wide variety of colors. They are so fun to breed because of this.
Gargoyle Geckos: Am I a joke to you?
Yes, Team Gargoyles! 😂 Chose a Garg over a Crested and still don't regret it!
Sorry it's so late to this convo...but,
I'd love to see a video about this combination as a hybrid. I'm fairly new to this channel so I don't know if he has done one, he just mentioned in his head to head video that it can happen.
He means in the vibrancy of colors lol like if you like spots and bloachy patterns or dots with things like fringe or port holes or Blush
Still waiting for you to review that good ol
*Cornball hybrid*
Whats that?
@@bruhmomentgaming7427 a joke.
Corthon
THE DARK KNIGHT'S REPUBLICAN you don’t say
Goherping?
It takes the amazing colors of the chewie and the nice body shape of the crested, absolutely amazing species.
Not a bad description.
Chewie is so cute!
Clint, could you do a fake video about Godzilla? Please ;O;
Yeeee he should have done it for april fools
I think he should wait until they are available cbb
4:05 Ring species reminds me of dialect continuums. For example, if you ask someone from Amsterdam to speak Dutch and someone from Berlin to speak German, they're clearly different languages. But the closer you get to the border, the more Dutch resembles German and German resembles Dutch. If you travelled from Amsterdam to Berlin, stopping in every little village along the way, you'd be hard-pressed to define exactly when the locals stopped speaking Dutch and started speaking German.
Loved the video, as always!
I generally support hybrids of any two species so long as the offspring are healthy and not allowed to muddy the gene pool.
Yeah. I don't care if it's not natural or wouldn't happen in the wild, if they are healthy and happy is all that matters
If these hybrids are consistently healthy and are fertile maybe they could become their own breed, like Himalayan cats and other cat and dog breeds.
For care the housing is going to be very expensive but it doesn’t drop its tail so Indominus Rex gets a...
I love Genetics. It’s so interesting. Additionally as far as speciation goes it’s incredibly interesting to hear the debates of scientists on what constitutes a species and whether hybridization indicated that they are not truly separate species. Certain researchers have studied hybrid bird migrations and found that hybrids migrate in a middle path to that of their parents. Crazy interesting concept and incredibly confusing.
woah thats super cool info! thanks for sharing!!
The only hybrid I’d heard of up to this point was the Vittikins Dragon... a Pogona Vitticeps x Rankins dragon cross. Never seen one, but the idea of a smaller beardie appeals to space-impaired me, and Rankins are so bloody hard to find in the US!
I think you should make a series on hybrids now
I see Clint, I click. Thanks for another rad video. 🙌🏻
Another pro: if a sterile hybrid somehow escapes, it can't breed in the wild so you won't be accidentally introducing an invasive species.
Interesting point.
My favorite hybrid- the centaur. It can rear up, gallop, whinny and has a nice 6-pack, what's not to love?
So you can just use an already existing horse pasture, but feed is going to be a bit more pricey.
Cool video, I've produced 8 Cresthouas over the last few years, awesome geckos.
I want to breed my crestie (female) with my chahoua (male) but I don’t want them to fight or hurt each other because they were my first and third gecko ever. What should I do?
This is awesome, how exciting! You should do a Malaysian Cat Gecko video (:
Another stinkin’ rad video Clint. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Bless you Brother Clint. Your a shining light of reason in a reptile culture filled with controversy and ostracization. You have a knack for explaining things in a realistic, scientific manner. I very much appreciate your talent, consistency, and love for the beasts. I've enjoyed watching your channel grow an I have highest hopes for your team!
Absolutely love your content. Keep it up!
Saw these come out a couple months ago. Awesome vid!! Actually didnt expect you to cover them. You caught me slippin Clint!
Damn. I didn`t know this was possible. Thanks for showing us a new animal yet again.
I just got 3 tokays please make a great video like you do for these misunderstood beauties!!!!! Love the show man!
Your videos is soo unfathomably underrated
Clint is just the perfect person to learn from
This is so amazing the slow walk and jump combo is awesome
Keep getting distracted by that monster of a watch!! Love the explanation of genetics here, awesome information.
The new caledonian geckos seem so similar to me it's like do you want a bigger one ? A mossy-looking one? One that doesn't grow its tail back? A really hard to find one? The care is just similar for all of them
My crestie very nearly does that crawl walk when stalking crickets right before she pounces! She does not quite have the back leg as fully extended the same way, but that is a cool trait.
It is like a gecko cat stalk.
Watching it jump at the end made me smile so much 😍.
Would you be able to a video on Day Geckos? I have one myself and I would be interested in professional information.
For sure
Great video. Those eyes look like little gem stones. Stunning gecko!
I just learnt something new. Thanks Clint!
Mission accomplished! You're welcome.
My main issue with hybrids is about care requirements. For something like a crested and chewie, I’m not as worried. But seen crosses of species within the blue tongue population that worry me when it comes to humidity requirements. Would I love the coloring of a halmahera with the build of a northern? Of course. But the humidity requirements are 60% difference! I think if we are able to know the care requirements with a huge degree of certainty. I also do get worried about the adults hurting each other
I have a suggestion for future videos. I'm currently looking for suggestions on reptiles to keep in small spaces. Like something you could keep even if you live in a tiny home or an RV or a studio apartment. Many reptiles get big enough as adults that when you're limited on space you have to think alot about anything that comes into your space. It would be cool for me and others in similar situations to me. Keep up the great work on the videos you are making! They come out great because your enthusiasm is so contagious!
a lot of animals can be housed in plastic bins like the ones from ikea. People keep a lot of snakes in them under their bed and it works well. Think crearively, how can you provide space and environment required for given specie while keeping cost low, you dont have to make enclosures that are fancy, and since those enclosures will not be fancy you can stick them in lots of spaces, like under a bed or in a (properly ventilated and lit and all) wardrobe etc.
Beautiful animal!!! Great video 😍❤️
Best video in a long time! Learned a lot!
I think that was a compliment :)
What are some of your other favorites?
Clint's Reptiles I love the crested gecko and sand peters banded skink the most!
I would love to see more hybrid videos
Damn i love this video thumbnail clint!
Keep the thumbnail style like this ;) :D
Thank you so much for saying something about it. I'm happier with them as well. Still open to suggestions, but I think I like the direction we're going with them.
More boas please! That would be great like Rosies and Rubbers ( :
I love you videos they are the best!
They’re the best part of my week lol
I'm planning on many more boas. Thank you so much! I'm glad we can add a bit of joy to your life.
Clint's Reptiles Thanks ( ;
“I’ll be outta here in under a week” actually made me laugh 😂💀😂
Hey. I live in Florida and when I saw you cover the Anole I noticed that you haven't covered the Basilisk lizard. I would LOVE a video rating them as pets.
Your time has come
I find this fascinating just from a science of domestication standpoint, because it probably informs how we thing about the domestication of other animals historically.
Call it a Cresthoua, I really like my Cresthoua but he is a little flighty, but as compared to pure bred Cresty he is a little more willing to just hang out. Mine did not regrow his tail. One more input for your list.
Edit:
I have a habit of commenting before a video ends lol, I see now you did call it a Cresthoua lol.
I personally LOVE hybrids. Look at... basically any dog breed - they're all hybrids of one another. As reptiles become more and more common and people are becoming more sensitised to both the health of their breeds (such as the spider) and the all encompassing WANT of novelty, we are going to get more and more Anhybrids (sp) over greater and greater distances (Py-Boa?)
Ok, but his shaking makes me want to hug him and give him a blankie
Holy cow Clint!!! Just as I thought I knew about hybrids! ughhhhh I know nothing!!!
Ive never herd of these and now I want one of my own
When the lizard covered in the video is so amazing so you can only watch it 5 seconds at a time or else your mind wil explode
Gosh, you better be careful about that...
This is awesome!!! I love this channel. I’m really curious about smaller python species, like anthill pythons and stuff, have you done anything on that? This channel is pretty much my go-to resource! It’s so unfair, the reputation reptiles and especially snakes tend to have. They tend to scare people, and because they scare us, we humans call them demonic and evil. It is so important to have channels like this exposing their true nature. Reptiles are amazing creatures, and, from a religious standpoint, another variety of God’s creatures, to be respected and admired; I don’t believe such amazing animals could have been created with anything other than love. :)
I totally agree, and thank you. We will cover smaller pythons as the opportunity presents itself.
Clint's Reptiles oh my goodness, thanks for responding!! You’re genuinely awesome.
It's awesome how much he knows
I think we should have a tour of this infamous pet shop you keep getting these amazing reptiles from...
I’d love to see a Nile Monitor/Asian water monitor head-to-Head comparison
Ooo! Okay, time to take a quick trip to animal ark and check these guys out!
I'm not a huge fan of hybrids because of the risk of muddying the genes if someone sells one miss-labeled.
This is in fact a huge problem in the tarantula hobby, which is why I might be a bit biased.
Definitely a concern everywhere.
Didn't know there were tarantula hybrids. It's not a hobby that I'm really into though either.
@@jeremybackman2782 Unfortunately some people aren't happy enough with the 1000 plus species of tarantula, so they started hybridising, mislabeling, and messing up the genes for some species of tarantulas.
@@KaiSub i had honestly never heard of any hybrid invertebrates.
@@KaiSub I keep some phidippus audax jumping spiders , the males of audax and regius look nearly identical , the females of each are basically just different colors but very similar , and from what I understand they can't hybridize.
Question: if you have a chahoua x crested gecko hybrid, can you breed it with a gargoyle/Leachie gecko? Because I think that’ll be really cool
Who knew that a Hybrid would make this list, wowza!
I’d love to see you do videos on leaf tailed geckos
Really love your videos keep it up but can you do one on a mangrove monitor because I'm thinking of getting one and I don't know if I should or not and I want your opinion on it
This channel is so pure. It’s keeping me from ending it all
My goodness, I'm happy to hear that it is helping you. I hope that, if you are sincere about that, you know that there are a lot of great sources for help and that we will keep releasing videos for a long time to brighten your days. Life sometimes gets complicated and bleak, but it almost always gets better.
Oooo hybrids are so interesting
Agreed!
Perfect video.
We're getting there :)
That’s awesome
It certainly is interesting.
interesting that you mentioned cost at the beginning, the few times i’ve seen these for sale they cost more than multiple chewies, $2,000 range
I can relate very much so to not being able to afford a Chewie. I have a gargoyle though and I love him.
Waiting for you to do one of these videos on the tokay gecko
Handleability score: negative 10
Heyy clint, Thought it would be really cool if you made a Scorpion tailed gecko video. think you would enjoy them! hope you consider!
at the end of the day two perhaps totally unrelated Geckos made a hybrid Gecko, I'm really down with that, awesome.
Chested gecko? Crewie? I think Crewie sounds really cute!
The way I see it is through dogs and wolves. While they are different species, they can still produce viable hybrid offsprings called wolf dogs. Same with cayote and wolf hybrids.
I’m planning on breeding my Male extreme harlequin crested gecko to a chahoua when I get one. (Hopefully this year)
Been something I’ve wanted to do for a while now and with my Crestie being basically all white/cream with a bit of grey/black I’m hoping to get some cool Colours and markings!
9:11 that eyeball lick 😍
Cactacea are capable of some very wide crosses like the hybrid "Jeri's Jubilee" which is a cross between a hybrid epiphytic cactius and an Echinopsis, a terrestrial cactus.
I have zero issues with hybrids just like every designer dog and cat owner doesn't when they buy their hybrid pets.
Those aren't hybrids
Love this hybrid, but i gotta say it again...MORE GUS GUS lolol
I hear ya. I have 3 Crested + 1 Gargoyle. All the Chahoua I find are way out of my price range. I'd love to own one though.
Do you think you could make a separate video about hybrids and the controversy and types? Or maybe split this video and add to it? Akin to the spider ball python video? It's really interesting
We thought about that, but we just included it as the first half of this video.
Ah the Crested Chewie. So cute.
I have a 5foot long 4 foot height 3 foot deep vivarium with all the lighting heating uvb uva. Any ideas what would be a cool addition. I have 12 years experience wanted a tegu but I think this is definitely too small for a tegu unless I extended the vivarium a few feet. Love all your vids. Your my go to guy on RUclips for advice. Thanks in advance.
New Caledonian Griffin would have been such a cool name. Not every single new word ever coined has to be a portmanteau, it drives me nuts.
0:54 bless you
Wait- I have a "normal" crested gecko and he does the same slow walk, soo...
Could you possibly make a video on breeding crested geckos?
What other species can be successfully crossbred? That would be a cool video
Sarasinorum x ciliatus also produces viable/fertile hybrids
I've found some chahouas for like 150-300 :) I'm might get one :)
This is the coolest looking gecko
That gecko defs understands spoken English. What a good gecko
A new species of gecko which is a hybrid of two species.
What’s gonna be the 100k sub special?
This is my new favorite hybrid, behind the Jungle Corn (50% Cornsnake, 50% California Kingsnake).
That is one that definitely comes with some significant risk to breed.
I know that there r artificially made hybrids such as the liger and mule, while naturally made hybrids as a grizzly-polar hybrid and coywolf
Tiger and lion ranges overlap.
@@ClintsReptiles Asiatic lions that is
How flingin’ flangin’ cute is this little guy???
This bad boy straight up lets you save more than fifty percent on car insurance.
Crested and lepard geckos are my favorite.
A crestie x leachie hybrid would be totally bonkers, real frankenstein stuff.
Or island of Dr Moreau stuff lol
I want one of these so bad.
I would like to know more about blood pythons , they're such cool looking snakes and they don't get talked about much.
I'm just letting mine put on a bit more size.
