Thankyou so much as a beginner breeder I'm so happy to hear that crested geckos are tougher then what people make them out to be!

[@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.

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!💚🦎

@@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.

[@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.

Thank you for this video

[@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.

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?

[@-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.

it is true , if you spray them down twice a day they will get most of their hydration from the glass and plants . also misting the tank keeps the humidity.

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 .

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@bryantngok8766]

Thank you you are very prolite

[@cherrybomb3033]

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.

[@-RubbingAlcohol-]

What age can you tell the gender of a crestie?

[@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

[@bluesquillino316]

By any chance is there anyone near Sheffield who has a spare crestie tank thats around 18x24 inches that i could buy/take off their hands? Thankyou

[@MaraJadeSkky]

If you have facebook search for a local reptile group, I pretty much guarentee someone can help you and it will be local.👍

[@spleens6885]

What morph is the grey one?

[@thaprojektkidd]

Thank youuu

[@drewdogg5723]

Thank you, I will now feel better about picking up my gecko without it dropping it's tail

[@f7digitaldesign]

I just got a gecko from someone and unfortunately, I didn't know about how you need to not touch a crested gecko for like a week to let him acclimate to his new environment. I was excited to have a new crested gecko and just tried to pet him a little bit and yep, he dropped his tail! So, that's a thing everyone needs to know and I'm very sad I was ignorant of. He was stressed w/ all the bustling around in the car etc. and I just didn't realize that.

[@noaholsen6476]

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@lunacardinal2271]

Happened to Me when I got mines as I was putting Him in the new enclosure lol I wasn't even handling I was putting him out of the carrier haha poor baby was scared asf

[@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.

[@mirandawinter99]

can you breed for temperament?

[@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

[@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.

[@staceygiesbrecht6024]

Funny thing I’ve actually always used there tails to scoop baby geckos up and I’ve never had one drop it’s tail you just use your finger slide under tail and then lift lol also I ended up breeding my second time this year and somehow I ended up breeding a super Dalmatian from a yellow base flame(no Dalmatian) and a patternless make with very little Dalmatian haha but here is this one baby that is a extreme super Dalmatian lol

[@christinakaladjian442]

Is uvb necessary?

[@ximb_abyx3991]

Just bought my daughter a crested gecko which is a baby we were wondering what type she has. How do we tell what he/she is it just shed last night now its deep brownish orange with tan spots on its side Please help

[@romy5112]

It's called "morph". If you want, you can send me some pictures to my instagram: @RH_Geckos. I am happy to help you😊

[@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.

[@JC-sc9rx]

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

[@JamesKeiling]

Its currently 2 am and i will say, i audibly laughed for a good 10 seconds after hearing the "geckos cant breed with out a tail" story. It wasnt even a little smirk, no it was a full on CHUCKLE. Now i need to go explain to my sister why im laughing at 2 am

[@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

[@Icantchangemyhandlehelp]

Indeed the standing water was false. My gecko Azrelia (crestie) had been put in a bowl of water and when she relaxed she drunk it right beneath her feet..

[@emmanuelvazquez3036]

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

[@DanDannyDanielleBob]

The one thats getting to me is cage size. Many care sheets say 12x12x18 is good for an adult and then the internet commentators and many pet tubers get stroll up to the 18x18x24 alter. Now I am just confused

[@emelie2377]

In Sweden you need to have 24” x 18” x 24 by law for one adult crested gecko. Guess it depends on your country.

[@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

[@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.

[@jayko501]

if i have a humid box in the cage, do i not need to spray the cage at all?

[@FreedomAnderson]

Yes, they most likely won’t use a humid hide similar to a Leopard Gecko. Their entire enclosure needs humidity, especially if it is bioactive.

[@holliemmx88]

😂😂😂 *yeet!* SPLAT! 😂😂

[@austinmair7995]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@ruthgarcia9583]

Gecko was drinking water gecko: mmmm water yummmmmaaaaaaaa

[@Porsche91197]

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

[@ginochavez4009]

I’m surprised he doesn’t have 100k subs

[@amandaloriananimals9065]

Me too

[@MaraJadeSkky]

Right? He is funny and knowledgable.

[@erguindeleon5497]

“I got about 2,500 not very dead geckos” 😂

[@RedlineLucario]

My Mediterranean gecko just drinks from the wall and leaves instead of the huge 10 cm long 5 cm wide box of fucking water

[@Yurpkys]

my lizard has no tail because when we moved it fell off.
