Most of my geckos have their tails still crested geckos are prone to just ditching their tails if they get scared you could have a massive thunderstorm the Tails fall off. there's a thousand different reasons why they might not want to have their tails anymore. And when they lose them they dont grow back

What you write is widely known in the herpetocultural community. I also own several and all mine have their tails. I must add that I've been in this hobby for 45+years and currently own 12 reptiles that are over 22 years old. My Red Tegus is 23 and my oldest Spiny-tailed monitor is 25+ years old. One piece of advice that I would like to share with you is in regards to your handling of said Crested Geckos...please consider stabilizing your hand movements. Look at your videos and see if you notice excessive movements like sudden movements, turns, lifts and other eratic hand movement that might/certainly will frighten/scare these small creatures. You seem like someone who is genuinely interested in these creatures but you also come across as slightly inexperienced in handling them.

You'd be surprised how popular they are. they're extremely popular in Europe and their popularity as pets are picking up in the United States. There are garter snake hobbyists that are willing to spend thousands of dollars on a rare garter snake mutation.

I had one when I was a kid. She mostly ate earth worms.

i think it’s a filter

@@SageTheGecko I don't think she uses them. She has amazing cresties

LOL no offense taken I also prefer seeing amazing photos of animals then a boring person talking about them

@@BobbyClements she likes to poop

@@jayrecords9353 I like to use Fake Plastic plants I get them from the Dollar Tree but sometimes I will also use living plants something easy to care for pothos

@@homesteadreptiles2222 thanks. What’s the size? Is enough for adult geckos? I see you use real plants.

@@nogh4161 pangea doesn't have any instructions on how often to feed the growth and breeding formula. It really up to you as the pet owners. I personally don't even use that formula.

Dogs are in a different category they're not labeled as Livestock in the United States if you grab a puppy and through it to a crocodilian to eat you would be arrested for animal cruelty.

@@homesteadreptiles2222 That's why the United states are a dumb country, and has too many centuries to evolve in mentality

The context makes a BIG difference - dogs and crested geckos are effectively taken out of their native ecosystem once we choose to take them home. In doing so we make conscious choices about their diet, safety and wellbeing every day, which is quintessentially NOT their natural way of living but also vital for their happiness and health. I'm not a fan of the idea of Cresties being feeders, even if it's done humanely and ethically, thought it's a better alternative to negligence if people insist on doing it. Cresties are endangered in their natural habitat so it just seems gross to reduce something that needs our protection to food when there's so many good existing options out there to keep snakes healthy. I am 100% opposed to people doing this for fun when the reptile store's intention is to give the little crestie a good home, and the new owner is violating their wellbeing and safety which seems unnecessarily cruel. The video made some pretty good points, and it's a discussion we need to keep having if this is really becoming a trend - but please don't use the "it's nature" adage, it's reductionist and not super constructive.
