African Fat Tail Gecko Care Guide

[@barbaralawrence7284]

Thank you for this! I got my African fat tailed gecko last August and I love him. He is a wonderful animal.

[@southerngurlexotics7764]

They are THE BEST animals. Great pets and typically very sweet animals. Defintely in my top 5 favorite geckos.

[@jessicastar433]

So wonderfully detailed!!! Thank you! I’ve just acquired a little guy who is malnourished. I’ve had snakes but never geckos and needed some good information His tail is more like --- instead of a whole fat lump

They are such amazing pets. I have Leo's to but african fat tails stole my heart of the two.

Time to get go online and get a Fat Tail from ya . Ion cap for the net Love . Your Gem in the community frfr most breeders in it for a buck not mad . But appreciate well cared for animals .

[@southerngurlexotics7764]

Heck yeah. I didn't breed any this year but I've got a few available when you are ready. Just hit my DMs ..

[@southerngurlexotics7764]

And thank you for those kind words. I really appreciate that

[@SuperGiantGeckosLLC]

Is an Angramainyu really a Iranian fat tail or a Leo ?

[@southerngurlexotics7764]

It's a Leo according to its classification. I'm not familiar enough with them to make an educated guess on that. But it's not being labeled as in the same species as fat tailed geckos. But more of a leopard gecko with a fat tail if that makes sense.

Popcorn ready and watching . Your videos morning coffee and a joint . Love Afts ❤❤❤❤

[@southerngurlexotics7764]

Love THIS!! ❤️ Although I hopr I'm not that boring that you need a morning wake n bake to tolerate me🤣🤣

[@DaveGrease-og8oo]

@@southerngurlexotics7764 No your boring. Not at all it is all apart of how I relax and enjoy content 🤣🤣🤣.

[@bsgenius22]

Its nice to hear about an actual experience of trying cohabitation. I am looking into breeding these guys as well!

[@southerngurlexotics7764]

That is one topic I can't stress enough with this species. There's so much misinformation out there and it's strictly because people want more animals and less space being used and the animals are the main ones suffering bc of it.

My AFT stopped eating When I bought it he ate crickets by tweezers I have been feeding by syringe reptile critical care x approx 2 months. He never comes out voluntarily but is super chill when I bring him out I currently have uvb across the entire enclosure…. Vet recommended And I have a under tank heat mat and heat emitter both on the hot side both on thermostat Has had wormer 2x He is super tiny but has gotten stronger doubled its stomach girth since being syringe fed. Do you have any suggestions

[@ennayanne]

9:44 nooo their tail!! 😧

[@colleendavis9693]

I saw that. Hide was put ontop one of their tails

[@heyypeople]

please make more videosss pleaseee😢

[@southerngurlexotics7764]

Awww thank you so much for the support and I'm so glad you've enjoyed the videos. I'm hoping 2024 is going my year to be more consistent on posting content for you ❤❤

[@mlj1309]

With uvb exposure, would that be ok to feed them D3 once/ twice a month?

[@christianhernandez8847]

Yes, calcium with d3 once or twice a month. They are nocturnal so they don't get uvb as good as other reptiles but still get some

[@StellasExotics]

So for the heat tape, its fine on the pvc(?) Rack? Like it doesnt burn the tubs or the rack? Ive been trying to get into leopard gecko breeding and im scared that if theres no ventilation or something for the tape it will get too hot or something. Sorry if this sounds dumb or confusing I just want to make sure I dont burn down my house 😅

[@southerngurlexotics7764]

Yes!! And NO it doesn't sound dumb!! No question is dumb especially when you're asking for the safety and health of both yourself and your geckos. Heat tape works great of you buy it from a reputable source and if you have a thermostat. I ALWAYS check my heat tape connections every few months when I'm cleaning and daily I check my thermostat to make sure it's working properly.
