Hey, love the video it's very informative :). One question tho: do you also need to heat the hot side off the terrarium to 32 celsius at night?

[@albinosalvator264]

Hi guys, love the video! full of good info. I was the person who produced the first ever albino, amels and tangerine Fat Tail Geckos in the mid nineties. I also produced from a Melanistic which throw out the "white sock" morph so I am so happy to see that morph still going. You probably never heard of me, I ran a shop with my brother called DnJ Reptiles in NY. Again love the video so I thought you would like some history.. Thank you.

[@stilljustlily]

This is a fantastic video, thank you so much for making it. I'm going to be getting an AFT in the coming months, it'll be my first step into the reptile world and I really appreciate all the information you laid out here.

I’m really thinking of investing and welcoming one to my family! How would you recommend to maintain humidity in their enclosures?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Hi there! Thats a good idea! All you will need to do is have a hide box that has damp moss in it and that will be perfect for their humidity, thanks!

[@carlienicole3272]

Hey can I use a CHE light instead of the light that came with my gecko tank, for my FTG ? I want to keep the heat up at night and obviously I can’t keep the light on at night

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Hi Carlie, yes you can no problem, just keep a close eye on the temps as those CHEs can get very hot and you might need to put it one a temperature controller. Thanks :)

[@kaiotto8385]

Awesome combos to the UE Team! What is ment by the term 'leathel' in the co-dom gene?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Thanks Kai! It means that if you breed a Whiteout morph to a Whiteout morph the super form of this morph dies in the egg.

[@honeybunny7239]

What are the adult weights or range of weights depending on sex. There are plenty for leopard geckos ( ex. Adult male 70 to 80 grams , adult female ..... Sub adult ... Baby ... Ect. ) i juat adopted a female fat rescue and she is 21 grams . what age would you guess she is ? What weight should i shoot for or watch for to indicate an adult size. I have giant and partial giant leopard geckos and she just seems so teeny tiny compared to them lol.

Can u cross breed fat tail and lep

[@liambelson6645]

I hear a lot about breeding multiple females with one male. But would it still be fine if there was just one female and one male, obviously there will be less eggs but just wondering?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Hi Liam yes that won't be a problem at all. As long as you can separate your male from the female. If you can see your female is looking tired, has bite marks on her neck or is looking a bit thin after laying a few clutches it is then important to separate him so she can recover.

[@liambelson6645]

Ultimate Exotics Reptiles Ok Thanks a lot!

[@Mara-nk8wu]

Can someone tell me, where I can find dem in Germany? I want to have 3 of them and want little baby Geckos.. but I can’t find any of them in the internet...... can someone pls pls help me

[@plant2188]

Mara Bam are you going to keep all three together? If so, you should probably get separate setups for each of them. And a good place to look for reptiles is morph market! That’s where I found the breeder I got my AFT gecko, just make sure to research the breeders!

[@Capn_crunch1230]

I’ve had one for a while he’s amazing but he won’t eat mealworms only crickets

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Yes they are amazing, we also have some that won't eat mealworms and only eat crickets. I think its an AFT thing : )

[@losmon4533]

Do you sell them

[@joshuapowers5590]

You said a whiteout to whiteout is lethal? Meaning the babies won't fertilize in the egg, or as in the babies will come out normal and not whiteout?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Hi Joshua. Apparently the Super Whiteout is lethal, so if you get a super Whiteout in the egg then the developing embryo dies before it makes full term, thanks!

while they do not need special lighting, AFT's with uvb tend to look healthier

They are nocturnal and do not need uvb. uvb can even be harmful

[@all-in-onevideos4657]

@@davidferguson8183 the reason they look healthier is not because of just the light its because of the vitamin d that they would get in the wild because of the sun, the reason that your aft hates bright light is because in the wild they would try to avoid the sun yet they would still go out at morning and dusk because those are the times when the sun is slightly less bright, so the reason for your aft hating light is because a uvb bulb does not start out weak it just goes from no light to what the sun would be like in the middle of the day

@@davidferguson8183 and it is beneficial because they get vitamin d from. if you really don't want a uvb bulb then make sure that you supplement with vitamin d3 because they would get that from the sun in the wild an without it they will be a lot more prone to illnesses

please don´t recommend permanently keeping reptiles in shoe boxes. this is awful

[@kodavulpedrius6712]

These guys are from semi desert areas. Why the hell do people house them in tropical setups!?!?? I think people keep them a bit too humid, maybe the humidity should be higher around the morning and evening, but not all day. Maybe a savannah setup should be good for them.
