You guys are so RAD! 
Животные
i dont even want a lizard but i watch these for this guys personality
This is how he hypnotizes us to obtain and care for reptiles. I not have a crestie, a beardie, a Leo (he’s a special needs one I believe cuz of a regrown tail and underbite), and I got a garg for Christmas.
what personality
Yea & I go to strip clubs for the drinks lol 😂
He's so wholesome and enthusiastic -- much more fun than some wanna-be edgelord...
We all do
“If you wanna kill a gargoyle gecko-which you DON’T!-rough handling would be a really fast way to do that.”
This man is lovely. You tell those prospective pet owners how to care for their sweet pebbly skin boys.
Everyone compares Leo's and creasties but gargoyles are like the forgotten species. But why I love their eyes and patterns and of course they grow back their tails!!! They are just as expensive so why are they so forgotten. Gargoyle love ❤️
Like African fat tails, some reptiles just seem to fall between the cracks. They are so cool!
Love the new picture by the way :)
You should make a video about African fat tails or knob tailed geckos they wouldn't score as high but it would still be interesting.
Great suggestions!
Doge Nation I want to get a gargoyle gecko some day I think they are so cute it would be my first reptile I've always had dogs, cats, birds, bettas, and rodents
XD
I didn't know Gargoyles were less into insects than Cresteds, good to know. And, I have a suggestion for a future video. Top 5 Reptiles that don't require live food or rodents. For those of us who are squeamish about such things. I didn't think feeding roaches to my Leopard and Crested Geckos would bother me, because they're disgusting, but I still feel a little bad for the roaches.
That is really a fantastic idea!
Thanks!
Could you do Red Eyed Tree frogs?
Egg eating snakes!
Great idea!
I'm getting a gargoyle gecko in 4 weeks.There's only one breeder in germany right now and he only sells once a year. I am SO glad I got one for this year. I was planning on a crestie but you're video made me choose the gargoyle gecko. Such amazing animals.
C Fol Can you link the breeder please. I life in germany to and almost gave up on them, because i couldn't find a breeder...
@@leonard5509 There are Facebook groups where people breed them as a hobby and sell them. Just search a bit on Facebook and you will find some breeders.
I’m so excited I’m getting mine in one week!
Get him lmao, his name is louie and he’s awesome!
ich spiele auch mit dem Gedanken mir einen Kronengecko zu holen :D Züchter scheinen allerdings generell nicht so verbreitet zu sein hier... zumindest im Süden Deutschlands
i loves these videos! could you make a "top five worst reptiles for beginners" ?
We sure can. It will be harder to show all the animals since I don't have them, but there are some real dandies. It would be hard to pick just five...
Clint's Reptiles
How about five advanced reptiles that people think are beginner reptiles?
Delilah Fox Anoles just every type of Anoles
Not really
Anoles are debatable
Haha try tegus, camins, Savannah monitors, bearded dragons, sulcata tortoises.....the list goes on
Your voice is just so soothing. I really enjoy watching these
Thank you so much! I hope they're helpful (if not, at least they can help you fall asleep at night) :)
I just got a Gargoyle Gecko today and im in love! Thanks for helping me with my research before getting him.
How is your gargoyle doing?
*It's like this guy scares me but could be the best friend I've ever had at the same time....*
thats mean
@@isabellekaufman8925 shut up
"Don't do that to them!" critical stare....
I was dead set on getting a crested gecko, but after watching this and your head to head video, I wanted to get a gargoyle instead. And now I am absolutely OBSESSED with my little girl! I mean, I'm still gonna get a crested gecko too, but I never would have known about these little monsters if I hadn't been watching your channel. They've quickly become my favorite lizard species! They way they turn grey (like a gargoyle turning to stone!) and their little horn-like knobs are so unique, it is really like having a tiny pet gargoyle ❤️
Got a question for you if you don't mind: Where did you end up getting yours? Expo, local breeder, or online?
honestly, i started researching reptiles cuz i wanna get one soon, and your channel has helped me out the most, You're growing incredibly fast and u deserve it, i would also love if you could do a video about king snake( i am intrested in a mexican black kingsnake)
Thank you so much for the great feedback! We will definitely need to make a kingsnake video soon!
I hope leaf tail geckos are next I really want one
They are stinkin' rad, and are in the works :)
Clint: In the works
Also Clint: takes 2 years
@@rexy8565 well....
Can you give us tours of your exact enclosures for us new reptile owners. Thanks
Might be a possibility.
I bred "Gargs" for a few years in the early 1990s, long before the color explosion. They are still reasonably priced for someone looking for an ordinary colored pet. But I've seen some in recent years with flabbergasting colors and patterns, with prices as much as four thousand dollars. There's something for everyone! When I was breeding them, their main diet was mashed fruits, fruit baby food, and they all ate a few small crickets every week. Wonderful lizards!
✨Oh wow! I'm in heaven just reading your memories with your "Gargs"💓 I've had my female Gargoyle for 8 years, and she's ah-mazing!!! Being surrounded by Gargoyle geckos sounds like my dream come true, lol😆🦎💗
Nice!! I always thought these guys looked a lot cooler then Crested Geckos.
Not just the colors but just the overall menacing look of it
They are different enough that it would be possible to pick favorites. I'm still having a hard time though...
Hey Clint, love the content and it is obvious you have a well of knowledge when it comes to animals. Your thorough review of reptiles lead me to get my own Gargoyle Gecko the other day and I don't regret it. He is still getting use to his enclosure, and I appreciate you giving all these nuanced tips for pet ownership. Keep up the great work!
Hi Clint! I've been watching your channel for awhile now and love it! For the longest time, I watched your videos because I really enjoy learning about different animals, even though I've never had, wanted, or even imagined I'd ever interact with a reptile. However, after months of research, my five month old gargoyle arrived yesterday morning and she is RAD! Thank you again for turning me onto some wonderful animals ☺ And I look forward to many videos to come!
I've got a gargoyle gecko! She's my first reptile and I absolutely love her. I named her Turnip. She's a little plain but has some spots of orange on her which is cute. I actually found her at my local reptile store so I guess I'm lucky on that part. Turnip does grip on me with her tail and had a pad on hers that's almost equal to the size of her toe pads. I agree with the score but I might give them a 4.5 / 5 for me personally. Great video!
@virtualcowboy2379 ✨Omg, Turnip is the sweetest name for a "new addition to the family" that I've ever heard💓 Hopefully, Turnip is doing very well🦎 I've had my Gargoyle for 8 years, and she's phenomenal!💕 Even though I've raised reptiles for 35+ years, everything my Gargoyle does is amazing☺️
Your personality is infectious I can’t get over it. You clearly love these lizards and love your job, keep at it!
I went out last Sunday after watching this video Saturday and bought my first Gargoyle. I was very lucky to have come across your videos it helped me determine if this species was for me. I love my little girl already and she has her own personality for sure. Looking forward to more videos from you and I appreciate what you do for these and all the animals you share with us.
I had a gargoyle for 10 years, she was around 8 when I got her. She was a frequent return as she was jumpy and a biter. I loved her loads! She wasn't a good eater though which often caused problems. Readily took cgd but ate very little of it. She didn't like insects beyond isopods and the occasional bsf. Super neat and personable lizards.
Just got one today, I love him so much
I'm getting a gargoyle gecko so I'm just watching videos while doing some extra research and I love how you explain things, instant subscribe 🤩
Can you do some setup videos?
Yes. :)
Clint's Reptiles yay!
It's great you did a video on gargoyle geckos, too!
Really like the way you present the animals. Keep that!
Thank you so much! Most of the animals that we have used so far are mine. We'll try to do some enclosure videos in the future :)
i adore how excited u always are!!!! like it’s your first time seeing a reptile every time!!! 💝💓💖💐
Those purple eyes though, also I think I may grab some of these as I have experience from my crested geckos.
Love geckos, Good video bud.
I’m so happy I found your channel I am learning so much!
Aww they’re so cute! I love their purple eyes! 💜
Hands down, once I learn/read a bit more, this will be my first reptile. I love how they look and the fact they eat crested gecko diet is just another big plus, but this video I keep coming back too just to make sure I’m getting my info correct thank you for all the points
I got these guys recently in the shop I work at, and I am absolutely smitten.
I’m getting my second gargoyle tomorrow and I’m so excited
Crested Geckos and Gargoyle Geckos are both so cute in their own ways.
✨Hi ya, Clint!🦎 I just saw this video, and it's fabulous😉 I purchased my Gargoyle online 8 years, and she's phenomenal!💓 I've raised reptiles for 35+ years, including dozens of different breeds of chameleons. But, no reptile amazes me more than my sweet Gargoyle💗
The New Caledonians get advertised as easy care geckoes but honestly, I think that's just regarding the food. The narrow temp and humidity range seems tricky. Especially if you don't control your indoor temps because you live in an apartment.
Great video I’m new to the channel but your videos just make me happy so thanks bro
These are my favorite type of gecko, they are fascinating! But they are hard to find where I live (Slovenia). I will keep looking until I find one. Great video, I love your personality.
You honestly my Idole becouse i just love your personality, positive attitude, Happines and ofcourse all of the reptiles you and your wife own together.
Geckos are always fascinating, and admittedly they have some of the best eyes xD
It's really no wonder I was so crazy about the pokemon treecko as a kid.
Hey Clint! Just found your videos for the first time since I am looking at getting a crested gecko as my first pet and I have to say this video and the crested gecko video were so helpful thank you very much. I now have a tough decision between this or a crested gecko!
I love the way they land, splat. We have wild geckos in our house. They seem to do very well and we see them often in their little respective hideouts, and then occasionally running across a wall😆
I went to my first reptile expo and it was amazing!
Those geckos have incredibly cool eyes I literally said "woah" out loud when I saw their eyes on those close up shots
Blimey, purple eyes!! These guys are stunning. Really love your videos. Learning a lot. Chameleons are my all-time favourite since I was a kid, but dealing with feeder insects creeps me out a bit. Could you do a video on how best to get over bug phobia and the fear of them infesting your house!!
Any time crickets get loose in my house they always die. You can also try mealworms and dubia roaches which are both super easy to breed and not stinky to keep as well. If you house them right they can't escape and dubias are super healthy for your reptiles. Crickets tend to stink but there are so many types of feeder insects I think you would be able to find some that work for you. I grab them with my hands but still hate doing so. You can use tongs to grab them.
Aww...they're adorable!
I just got a gargoyle gecko my first gecko. It’s a hatchling not sure of the sex but we are taking our time getting to know each other and I’m hopeful that s/he will be as relaxed and handleable as the one you have shown here. So far so good ❤️🦎
I love watching these! What about a video on medium sized reptiles?
Can't speak for other Geckos but my subadult Gargoyle LOVES desert locusts like crazy! Even more than Gecko diet. It's even jumping at the pincer when I offer locusts ;)
The end of your videos are my favorite
I've had my Gargoyle now since 2010, she was hatched in 2007, and still doing really well! Always happy to be handled (seemingly anyway) never nipped me, and will make soft chirps. Never ate an insect I've offered so she is on Pangea powder. Best reptile pet IMO.
I didn't know how much I wanted a reptile until I found your channel.
Oh nice Gargoyle geckos! Great video man!
Thank you so much!
I was admiring the snake plant and the simple set design then realized, he basically decorated his own terrarium for himself to film 🤣🤣
Love your videos! ❤❤❤
this guy is kind of goofy and performative but these are quality videos and I appreciate them as a resource.
I'm like that all the time :)
They are beautiful, cute and from what i gather, fairly easy to look after. I mean, just look at those eyes and that awesome little smirk. They don't require all that fancy uv lighting and insects aren't a must and are optional. They look absolutely adorable and are fairly inexpensive. They can also regrow their tail! The only downside is that they are fairly uncommon (at least in the uk) and I'm still searching for one. Definitely one of the most underrated geckos if not underrated reptiles.
I still can't get over how beautiful Gargoyle Geckos are. I'll get one of these for sure when I move out (my dad sadly is scared of any reptile, he'd probably be even scared of something as small as a blue tailed skink)
The thing that is the most amazing about them in my opinion are their eyes. They're so gorgeous.
Cute little mini flop lizards. I love the extra wrinkly skin the have around their legs like the Cresteds do.
I love those little alligator faces 🥺
I love gargoyle geckos! Their eyes are so beautiful!
Thinking we need to revisit this critter. Their availability has gone through the roof in my area
Good thing I live a couple of miles from a petstore that sells them. A bit long of a drive, but still pretty close. Probably will get one soon with money from the holidays.
3:03 good jump
😂😂
Aren't they great?
Clint's Reptiles ya
Super cute! Loved the geckos too ;D
Could you do a crested gecko vs gargoyle gecko video, please?
That sounds like a good idea. Honestly, this video was a little bit like that. They are definitely more similar than they are different.
Gargoyle geckos actually sounds like a pet I would really like to have some time and I really like the look of it. Not sure if that actually will happen and if those are what I would end up with. Great channel
great video!!!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful video as always! I've had a gargoyle gecko named Goober since June and she's quite a bit smaller than these guys. I'm aching for her to get nice and big, though with gargs that can take forever xD
They're good eaters, she will get there in no time!
Christywoowoo, your a leader on Reptiles amino! I'm a bit surprised finding you here.
Getting a gargoyle on Sunday💪🏻 got a whole lil bioactive setup ready to go!
It’s awesome that you have a bioactive setup, I’m sure they’ll love it! Although new reptiles should be quarantined on paper towel for at least six weeks (ideally three months) to monitor their health.
Cool little fact about the coloration is they do slightly change their colors based on lighting. Mine looks like the gray/black/red one on here. In the light she is primarily gray with a bit of black and red. When it's dark out she is pretty much all black and red
They are perfect for me!
Aren't they the best!
Hello , do you think u could make a video on chahoua gecko :) ! I’m trying to decide wether to get a gargoyle gecko or a chahoua and i absolutely love your videos they have been extremely informative and helpful it would really help me decide !!! Thank you
I like how they randomly just kept jumping down 😂
I don't know why but he reminds me of newt scamander
IM PICKING UP ONE OF THESE CUTIES IN A COUPLE DAYS THANKS TO YOU!
great video! also i love wen he gestures to a link but its not there!keep making videos!
Looking to buy my first pet lizard soon! After watching this video I'm torn between Gargoyle and Crested Geckos. Great video as always!
Thank you! You have a tough choice to make :)
That leap though
I truly love your O hi there 😂😂😂
I finally got one. I have had a cresty for longer than this video is old. I have both in the same place in my reptile room.
Beautiful animals
Just got my first gargoyle about 2 hours ago at repticon. Beautiful little girl. 1 year old and ran me about 175
Gargoyle Geckos are my favorite lizards. They are absolutely beautiful and ancient looking. I hope to start my reptile collection soon and one day have the opportunity to own one of these beautiful creatures:)
You’re the only channel I watch at normal speed lol
They are so cute!!! They look like miniature or dwarf alligators.
I really love your videos, I actually want to have a gargoyle gecko now lol
If you ever get a chance please do one of these on Chahoua geckos!!! :) I love them and there are barely any videos on them!
The jumps these guys made are impressive 😂
I’m thinking about getting one of these little guys as my first lizard of many
These things are just so damn cute, I can't handle it.
I'm fine with bugs, but my mom *hates* them, and told me I have to get a lizard that doesn't eat bugs. A gargoyle seems perfect! Since they don't need a humidifier or special lighting, it wouldn't be nearly as expensive as the original lizard I was planning on getting, which needed very expensive equipment. Plus, I was looking for a reptile that needed daily maintenance, that's what I'm looking for in all of the pets I adopt! I want to be able to care for them every day, it gives me a schedule to stick to, which helps me, and the animals get everything they need daily! Tysm for the amazing video! ❤️
I went into a local pet shop to get dog toys and they had one in! I got to hold it ♡ very cute
I was at repticon planning to learn about cresties and planning to prepare a tank to buy one then one specific booth had gargoyles next to cresties and I was in absolute AWE. I didnt think i could change my mind of the reptile I wanted but they stole the show. They had adult well handled gargoyles on display for people to handle, i saw them while looking for cresties and fell in LOVE. The guy told me all about their differences in personality and let me hold one and it was crawling and jumping all over me and i fucking loved it. It made me change my mind (even tho i already have a crestie bumper sticker 😂) but yea ive been researcher and next month or so will finally start making its bioactive terrarium and then in novembers repticon ill buy my baby 💗 im hoping to get a grey female!
I saw one at Petco today for $300!! lol it made me want it more. It’s very small and had one red band along its body
These Videos are the reason I might be getting a gecko
i love you quirky personality
I have been sing these even at small reptile expos
You mentioned one dropped its tail 3 times.... does it always grow back or was it dropped at different sections? I always thought if it drops once it won't grow back the rest a second time from its previous drop... or is that some gecko species?
I finally found a local breeder and managed to get one! The only thing that worries me is he has some stuck shed I'm trying to work off.
