He is so beautiful, I even think I may have seen him in your video. If not, it was definitely one that looked quite similar. 😂 Much love to you.❤ And blessed be❣️🫶🏻☀️ and I’m actually holding him while I’m watching your video! Lol he’s gorgeous

Ahhh my first successful fertile egg should be hatching any day now from my sweetest crestie. It's parthogenic, I belive. She hasn't been with a male in over 2 years. These animals are so cool!💚🦎

[@bigsam8597]

@@MaraJadeSkky How is that possible???

[@MaraJadeSkky]

@@bigsam8597 no clue but the last time she was around a male was over 24 months ago...and there is definitely something growing in one of her two eggs. I always candle hers, always infertile...this last time she laid I candled the first, nothing as per usual, but I continued on and candled the next...and I saw the red cheerio of life! I couldn't believe my eyes. I had my spouse come check to make sure I wasn't seeing things. The egg just passed the 60 day mark in incubation. I am hoping any day now I'll check like I do every morning and I'll see something making it's way out of it. The egg has stayed perfectly shaped and white, no rot or mold. If this crestie baby hatches, it will be a very special creature to me and will stay with my family and me forever.

@@bigsam8597 my apologies for the long comment. I'm so excited and have been waiting in anticipation for over 2 months.

@@bigsam8597 I've talked to another crested gecko owner who had several parthogenic eggs from one female. But it does seem a bit rare to happen.

[@mothwings8795]

I was so worried about tail-dropping until I realized that every crestie with a more active tail was wrapping it around me or something on me a lot harder than I would ever touch their tail. It's impressive the strength they have with it - I had to give up a necklace one night because my lady was holding it so tightly that I wasn't getting it back right then. I am just watching your vids waiting on a delivery from you, I am super anxious and you're calming. That being said I wonder how the two will be with their tails, and the third doesn't have his so nothing to wonder about there. Except his cute feet. Their feet are the cutest thing in the world.

[@mothwings8795]

@@laundrycat1254 Nah. Tailless friends are lovely in their own right too, plus sometimes the way it heals up they have a fantastic little nub that is fun to lightly poke.

[@ArtisticlyAlexis]

I have two with two who dropped. I think there are some who drop at the first fright & others that don't. It's different personalities & responses. My now big boy dropped on his own in the middle of the night, but he's my most laid back, so no idea what made him do it. My first girl is a bit goofy and dropped after a big jump as a baby. But my craziest one, jumps at everything, is my most active, he's had his tail for three years going strong! So you just never can tell. I'm hoping my little baby keeps it, but it's a roll of the dice.

[@BaughbeSauce]

I used to work at petsmart where one of the managers told newer employees that crested geckos are group animals and to tell customers to buy more than one. Why?.... to sell more geckos. I was pissed. I do know that geckos don't typically get lonely, but I do have one exception. My female crested gecko, Nanners. She was a rescue I received from a coworker. She was totally blind with ulcerations in both eyes, unsure if she'd ever regain sight. After about 8 months she had most of her vision (Several years later I think she still doesn't have perfect vision, but it's pretty good). My existing male gecko, Troll, took to her very quickly (after she had quarantined and healed enough to be co-habitated) and became her eyes. She would follow him around closely and he really looked after her! An incredibly rare behavior for animals like this. A friend petsat for me and unwittingly set my geckos free. Nanners was found, Troll was not. We think he got outside (in Central valley California- OBSCENELY DRY). Nanners had her sight back by this time, but she became very reclusive and hand shy after this incident without her buddy, troll. Exactly as she was before she was housed with him. She's starting to come out a bit more now almost 3 years later, but still is more reclusive and less confident than she was with her buddy. I've been debating getting her a friend because I think she truly is lonely. But I don't know if just any friend will do. I wish we could've found him. He was an olive double orange tiger with cream pinstripes and an orange throat.

I don't know why, but I found it extremely satisfying when your geckos would jump and land on the table with a plop lol

[@mandymallory1648]

Finding out that you don’t mist any enclosures ...mind blown 🤯 could you possible do a video about that? How you control the humidity and started using this method and how long you’ve done it this way. I’d be soooo interested to learn more and possible use this method myself

[@AltitudeExotics]

That's a good idea. Thank you! I'll put this on my list of possible future video ideas.

[@the6ixconstrictors424]

I'm not trying to be an A-hole but this video was great and does tell a lot to know about Cresties but the truth is they will drink standing water although doesn't mean you still can't mist them. When their still hatchlings it is harder for them to locate the water dish and they sleep during the day in the leaves so if you mist/spray the enclosure the gecko can get the water a lot easier when it's on the leaf right in front of them where they are sleeping. And I can back this as I pay very close attention to all my geckos.

[@AltitudeExotics]

Of course it doesn't mean you can't still mist them, it's just not necessary like many believe. Young geckos have no trouble finding water dishes, this is not difficult or taxing for them I assure you. But of course they will also drink from being sprayed as well.

[@webringthebooms]

@@the6ixconstrictors424 "I can back this up because I pay close attention to my geckos" As you're arguing with a CHANNEL dedicated to doing that with experts. Okay lol

Wow I've been told almost all of these, mostly on websites. You have no idea how much you helped me out. I thought if I got one I'd always have to spray the cage or it'll die of thirst and wouldn't be able to touch its tail but I guess not. That makes me want one even more now haha

This was so insightful and interesting. I was really super cautious of the tail, especially with my leo (which I know is not mentioned but I'm sure this somewhat translates, of course I'll never grab him by the tail but I'll probably stop sweating so much when I touch it when holding him) and this will be nice to know for when I have my first crestie soon.

[@cherrybomb3033]

I let my new crestie acclimate for 2 full weeks before handling. Then I would only handle her at night when I would change out her food and water for fresh. I only handle her 15-20 mins a night every night around the same time. After two months my crestie has come to expect this and now climbs right onto my hand instead of trying to scurry away and hide. I also chose the evening to handle her because cresties are usually awake at dawn and at dusk. My crestie always is up exploring her cage at dusk and being active so that's when I choose to handle her.

[@jamesjansen3057]

It's common sense to research the animal you plan on keeping. Having done some proper research, you'd have known to leave them be while they acclimate to their new environment.

My crestie wraps his/her (im thinking it's a she, but still too young to be 100% positive), tail around my hand and fingers all the time. At first I was so paranoid that my crestie would drop its tail over any sound or loud noise. After getting comfortable with my crestie I realized that now it feels safe and comfortable with me handling him/her they are completely comfortable with me touching their tail. My crestie also has drank out of its water dish since I first brought it home and I have never seen it drink up the water droplets from misting.

I’ve had my gecko a little over a year , I keep mine geckos tank from 68-75...he’s doing great and very comfortable. I do have a under the tank heater pad on the side for the winter months ...

[@trishaellen7449]

With a hydrometer would you say a fogger to increase humidity in the morning and again in the evening is appropriate assuming the humidity does drop properly?

[@ryanberenato2158]

Where did you get the little water and food cups and what size are they? Thank you!

[@christinakaladjian442]

Is uvb necessary?

[@shywatcher1961]

plop goes the gecko.. lol good video

[@sammorton3531]

Thank you for this video

[@Specogecko]

I have my automatic mister go off three times a night for ten seconds or so, mimicking the drier effects of the sun during the day and the higher cooler conditions that would naturally occur at night

[@ruthgarcia9583]

Gecko was drinking water gecko: mmmm water yummmmmaaaaaaaa

[@mishcasminifarm]

I’m new to crested geckos I love my little buddy. I feel I want to put a uvb in for him and get him a taller tank What are your thoughts

[@AltitudeExotics]

Both of those are great ideas!

[@spleens6885]

What morph is the grey one?

[@WeightlessFlex]

Instructions unclear, gecko stuck in blender

[@masterEEE]

Ideal tank size for two crested geckos?

[@samk4379]

have you had leopard geckos? what do you prefer and why? what would you recommend for gecko beginners? thanks

[@AltitudeExotics]

I dont currently but I have kept them in the past. I think crested geckos are much better for beginners as their setup and care is simpler.

[@kirraandersonnn]

Brian: "with some gecko friends" me: those tanks are so small ahhhh what is he doing

[@sabrinakennedy6378]

He’s probably just using them as display tanks.

[@nodders6830]

One of my gecko's was just sitting around in the viv , I was watching it for a couple of minutes , went into the kitchen , came back and there's a tail wiggling about all over the place . These geckos can drop their tail at the drop of a hat . First time it happened in 12 years of keeping them . I have a couple of dozen gargs and cresties and over the years have seen every single one of them drink standing water at some point . I have one crestie , my first ever that will tip her empty water bowl out of the ledge if I don't fill it .

[@sabrinakennedy6378]

The last gecko: *”ANOTHER-“* *smashes glass*

[@EliR6]

My cat broke in to my creased gecko tank and got ‘em🤧 but I got a new one and fixed the tank and I’ve had my new one for 2 months

[@SkivleOwO]

I had a quick question cause this just happened and i went into panic but i had my baby cresi out of his enclosure for a little bit and he fell off my knee (yes i was sitting on the floor) and he fell on his back, curled up, and it looked like he gasped for air or trying to yelp but then i picked him up to make sure he was ok and then his pupil shrieked to the point that his eye was blank for a sec and then his pupils got huge. I just wanted to know if he mite be ok or if there is something i need to do

[@austinmair7995]

Are you trying to make it’s tail fall off! All jokes aside great video.

[@bryantngok8766]

Thank you you are very prolite

[@mirandawinter99]

can you breed for temperament?

[@emmamorrell]

omg if you watch around 1:45 where the crested gecko jumps in 0.25x speed he banged his head on the tank he jumped at. poor guy. 😅🤣

[@-8_8-]

I thought stuck sheds were from dry conditions. mine have ABG mix which is moist at worst. They all tend to go to ground around the time they're going to shed. So I thought for sure they need moisture to shed. But I've only got a few.

[@lyssapeabody444]

i just noticed today my credted geckos tail is wavy, i keep hearing mbd but ive also heard its a growth spurt? could you help me? lol

[@thewildguide8173]

Question, I got two crested geckos housed together when I got them they were in the same cage and later found out one was a male one was a female , she does lay eggs but not eggs that she cares about and the boy doesn’t seem to care about the girl they sit on the same leaf but that pretty much it, should I find a way to separate them or am I being paranoid

[@ReginaFilangy]

I know this is old but you should definitely separate them. The male could be harassing and stressing the female when you don’t notice like at night when you are sleeping.

[@Ochibason]

Just found youre vids fantastic on explication on how people can apply personification to these animals and actually do more harm than good, uneducated irrational thinking especially these days. Very naive. People these days thinks they deserve respect just because they have a animal for example. Little they know is that respect can only be earned. Gotta work at it. Very refreshing be nice to hear with other reptiles and pets. Thank you.

[@shenzisexotics2095]

I pick my cresties up by there tail like that if they are willing too curling it around my finger. There fails are semi prehensile if you don’t know what that means look it up lol. Monkeys have prehensile tails so think of it like that

[@word2242]

I just got my first crested gecko. Do I need to have a heat lamp on top? I do currently and it’s a blue 60w bulb. Please respond

[@AltitudeExotics]

Crested geckos prefer to live at 70-75 degrees. In most peoples homes heat lamps are not necessary but in cooler houses it can be helpful

[@rachelkunz611]

Thank you so much!

[@TheGeckk]

Do you agree that they are pretty smart and know their owners scent? My mom had a friend over and i was playing with him and i offered to ket her hold it and he was very hesatant to go over to her hand and went right back to mine as soon as he could lol

[@JC-sc9rx]

My crested gecko has a tail that wraps around things while climbing

[@Porsche91197]

My boy crested was really depressed and then we got a girl and he and the girl were very active

[@zinksfor3548]

So who won the belly flopping contest in the begining

[@emmanuelvazquez3036]

Wow I was scared to touch mines tail but now Hey awesome

[@jbsoftwash]

Do they need a uvb light ? Lady at the pet store sold me a 25 dollar 13 watt uvb bulb

[@AltitudeExotics]

It is not required, no

[@jbsoftwash]

@@AltitudeExotics thanks iknow you said room temperature so a basking light would be bad wouldn't it its 70 degrees in my home

[@dylon185]

I just picked up my new gecko yesterday and it jumped when I went to grab him, I missed their body and grabbed the the tail, I still feel bad haha

[@holliemmx88]

😂😂😂 *yeet!* SPLAT! 😂😂

[@KimberlyBradbrook-jf3vv]

My crested geckos tail fell off today my mom was horrified 😂😂

[@makaylacook8390]

Wassup y’all in the comments. I have a lil jumpy crestie and was thinking of creating some kind of playground for him to explore other than being on me or in his enclosure (more like tryina suicide jump off me) lol. Thanks for input.

[@gracedawnknight3527]

One of y girls will forget that her tail is wrapped around my finger when she tried to just back into her cohab tank or I’m trying to place her on a branch and I have to tell her to let go

[@Invoins-geckos]

Umm can I buy his wall

[@bigsam8597]

I have a 20 gallon tall tank... can I house 2 females in it, or just one?

[@idontknow-hj9yw]

I highly DON'T recommend it but it is possible, I've seen people do it. It's hypocritical for me to say this but yeah I have two females in a 20 gallon but I plan on moving them in separate terrariums or a larger one by the end of the year or beginning of next year.
