Thanks for watching!

I can’t believe someone actually believed a crested geckos pattern is determined by its food 😂😂 that poor person

[@mrkrabs5729]

Yes. It is a shame to believe such foolery.

[@Dudesofdestruction]

Its ok to not know, its a shame to not wanna LEARN!

[@sammora470]

I think I can understand where they are coming from though, they might not have been referring to pattern, if you think about it, and I am not sure if this is the case with cresties but with a lot of animals such as fire belly toads, the redness in them they get from carotenes so for example if you have a morph of crestie that is very orange or red and you feed it a diet with more carotene then it should flare the colour more. That is where I think they got confused.

[@Cogzed]

I fed my gecko zebra and it got black and white stripes... xD I don't have a gecko, but I do enjoy these. Thanks for the laughs! People are crazy!!!

[@tamaraelza]

Someone on Facebook actually was telling people that a mealworm killed her gecko, I didn't believe it but I'm so glad it was confirmed here, thank you.

[@MastemaJack]

I've give my crested geckos mealworms they are fine. One only ate them once the other comes jumping for them.

My Gecko didn't get the info about being crepuscular. He's only active at night.

[@crestiez7825]

Unless you record them you actually never know because they could go back to sleep at night

True, but he’s active from dark until 1-2am when I go to sleep. That’s a large portion of the night.

[@BriceLijewski]

Super old comment but id like to add. They were recently found to not be crepuscular either, but actually Cathemeral. Meaning active evenly throuought the day and night, sporadically more or less.

[@c.ortega1711]

I understand the food/ color myth is a complete joke, but maybe they meant how the quality of your geckos diet can affect how bright and colorful they may appear (not a change in the actual pigment) just thought I’d put this out there cause I did hear this once.

[@AltitudeExotics]

There are certain diet supplements that can make geckos colors more vibrant.

[@helga4791]

Just curious-What year was that guide made?

[@homesteadreptiles2222]

Lol I was told that as a new gecko owner. That the mealworms could eat it's way of the gecko. So if you're going to feed mealworms you'd have to squish the insect's head . To make it safe.

[@FreedomAnderson]

Just like in the wild.

[@pewpewcat7679]

I heard to squish a superworm's head because they supposedly have a good bite but I don't feed superworms. I do rip the legs off of crickets for my leopard gecko because he is slow af though and his aim is the worst, so, a typical leo. 🤷‍♀️ 😂

[@cherrybomb3033]

My daughter and I were at petsmart buying mealworms and crickets for her Leo and my crestie. A worker proceeds to tell us that the mealworms will eat their way out of the lizards stomachs if our lizards are juveniles. It scared my daughter so much that she started squishing the mealworms heads before feeding (her Leo will eat any insect dead or alive), it to her Leo. I don't feed my crestie mealworms because seeing cresties only need to eat insects twice a week, I feed mine crickets because they are more nutritious than mealworms. My daughter mostly feeds her Leo crickets as well and occasionally feeds him mealworms because the exoskeleton can be hard for them to digest. Her Leo got impacted for a few days because he had a hard time digesting the exoskeleton. When he finally did pass it the mealworm was pretty much whole so he might just not of chewed his food enough. I think that you would more need to worry about mealsworms causing impaction than eating through your lizards stomach.

[@MaraJadeSkky]

The sarcasm...I love it!

[@alyssamartinez4412]

Thanks for this! I just got my first crestie almost a month ago and I sometimes find him chilling on the bottom and i got really nervous that something was wrong but I realized it's normal! He likes one of the plants in the corner that almost creates a hide on the bottom

[@sarahblancher3817]

Thank you for the information and the stories! I can't believe what some people think is true about crested geckos! Also, have you ever done a video about crested gecko structure? I have been trying to learn how to look at a gecko and know if it has "good" or "bad" structure but I have been having trouble grasping it.

[@AltitudeExotics]

I have not, though that is a great idea. Thanks!

[@sabrinakennedy6378]

Oh! I remember reading up on this earlier. If I remember correctly, a large head and short snout is good. Also, the longer and sturdier the crest, the better. That’s about all I remember, since it was a while ago. I don’t remember the website, since it was a while ago.

[@-8_8-]

People used to feed baby food to their geckos. This was a million years ago, when I had my first one. Back then it was baby food with a supplement, and gut loaded crickets dusted with calcium. I'm not sure if we called it gut loading back then. I know pangea wasn't around back then. Crested geckos live longer now from what I hear.

[@Arkham1222]

Do you mist your crested geckos?

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

I can imagine a mealworm CRAWLING out of a small animals throat, but eating its way out?! 😂 😂 😂

[@flowersreptiles2707]

I mix banana baby food in with my cresties diet, it gives it a thicker texture and they love the taste. They are on zoo med mixed with repashy :) never knew cresties could regrow that little nub tail! He’s cute!!

[@amcgeckos]

These videos are awesome!! Very educational and very informative!! These lies always seem to crack me up sometimes lol. I really struggling believeing people believe this stuff but then again its not hard to believe because some people these days are just not educated enough. P.S. I absolutely agree as well. My crested gecko spends most of his time on the ground but he will go up in the branches when ever he wants to as well but 90 percent of the time my crestie is on the ground chillin out under leaces or in his cork bark hide.

[@stevolam182]

I wake up for work at 630AM and my crestie is jumping around her enclosure wide awake.

[@pewpewcat7679]

Leopard geckos are said to be crepuscular but I am with the train of thought that they are actually cathemeral/metaturnal because they are, in fact, awake sporadically throughout the middle of daytime and nighttime. I see it with mine too and he is in my room where it's quiet so he isn't being woken up. He just gets up during the day sometimes, walks around to check things out and then goes back to sleep. Compared to my crested geckos, true crepuscular animals, that becomes even more apparent because I really only see them get active towards the late evening into the night (not so much early mornings because I'm either asleep or don't have the time to peek in (no worries, they do get sprayed in the later morning hours simply for humidity, my room is oddly humid anyways which is a problem because I can't seem to get it under 70% if I can trust my gauges). Also, my geckos all love mealworms and their pupa. Of course the babies get tiny baby mealworms and if I can pick out freshly molted mealworms I do just because they are easier to eat by a little bit but they munch them just like everything else. Out of curiosity, the breeders you were talking about, I'm wondering if it's imperial and reptiles by mack since you said they supply petstores and those two both supply petsmart with reptiles among a few other smaller breeders depending on the locality of the petsmart. Not saying anything negative about them, I was just wondering.

[@markadams5009]

My leo also wakes up at different times throughout the day. Though he sleeps for the majority of the daytime. My cresties won't even come out in the evening until I close the blinds or turn the lights down low,.. then in just a few minutes I'll hear them moving around.

[@pewpewcat7679]

@@markadams5009 yup my cresties are the same. But I never hear them. I rarely hear a "plop" but that's likely my leo falling over himself while pooping. He is really specific about his pooping routine 😂 and will stand upright in the corner on a little rock I put in there and he will poop right into the little gap between the rock and the glass. I don't think this animal could be any more ridiculous if he tried and I love him for it 💩😆

[@markadams5009]

@@pewpewcat7679 I think what I hear the most from my adult crestie is him hanging upside down and crawling around on the screen top of his cage. As for my leo, I place some folded toilet paper on a flat rock in the corner that he goes in. I love that is so easy to just swap out whenever he goes. I love my leo! He's so brightly colored that he almost looks fake lol! Although the best thing about him is that he has an aberant pattern on his head. Instead of the normal spots, he has one huge circle pattern that takes up his whole head with a big dot right in the middle!! Lol it's how he got his name, I just love my TARGET ! 😃❤️🦎

The crickets still scoot around super fast even without their hind legs though. Crested geckos are much more capable getting their insects than leopard geckos are though. I have some tiny little crested babies that are barely a month old and they are much more professional than my 1 year old 63g+ heavier leopard gecko

[@jumpyspiderlady8454]

@@pewpewcat7679 you squish it a bit so it still moves, but it can't really walk. it doesn't move for long of course. It's a good way to feed slings (spiderlings) who are too picky for prekilled. Red runners are fast, which is why I keep them for the spiders. Dubia are too still and worse, bury themselves. If they stay alive in with a tarantula who then tries to molt, they could kill the tarantula. Not super likely, but it can happen.

[@captainyarrr7855]

Smaller lizards that eat and some how get down larger mealworms that can’t properly chew the worm can have a rust of the worm eating it’s way out. I had this happen with a young fence lizard not knowing that the worm didnt die. It did eat its way through and was horrible. So even then I still make sure if I hold have bigger meal/super worms for younger lizards I crush or take off the head the enough to not allow anything like this to happen. Not really common at all but more so a rarer mistake that can happen with new owners who don’t do research.

well, that about diet, i don't know man first i want to cover up that i was feeding my cresties like this for a 5 years because i was told to feed them like this. My cresties lived 4 years on a diet that was mainly made up of only crickets, and veeery few baby food, veery few mashed banana. Crickets were something like 85% of their diet. The fact they didn't have any problems is a more surprising when knowing that it shouldn't be like this. Maybe it's because of they've got a mix of vitamins and minerals on each feeding. Like the crickets were dipped in it. Then I learned that it shouldn 't e like that. Cresties already grown up, being 5 years old. So I bought them pangea. That grey one, i don 't know the name and fig one. I tried to gave them both. But they seemd so disgusted by it. After only a bit, and they wouldn 't want to touch it anymore.
