Here's a tip: make a large batch of crested gecko food and sort it into individual cups and freeze them. You can even put dabs of food on parchment paper, then freeze it and bag the individual servings. It thaws in 20 min and keeps for several months. Saves me so much time.

Fast-forward 18 months and he climbs all over his 18×18×24 enclosure now that he has some use of his rear legs. He had to be hand fed and he still sucks up to be fed...lol. He is an awesome pet reptile. One of our favorites!

Sometimes he's a light yellow green, almost an orangey red, or a dark greenish brown. I swear if you didn't know you would think he's a different crestie everytime.

My daughter got a Leo for her bday which inspired me to get a crestie for my B-Day. We did extensive research on both before getting them. I chose a crestie because it's care fit my lifestyle and routines. I did not want to deal with a mass amount of insects and with cresties they eat insects only twice a week, the other days they eat Rapashy or Pangea powder food. I love my crestie so much! He still has his tail which I'm shocked about because we've been having loud thunderstorms all summer, plus the 4th of July fireworks and the 24th of July fireworks (I live in Utah and we celebrate the 24th with fireworks because it's the days the pioneers founded Utah). I have nightmares that my crestie dropped its tail because I'm so paranoid about it. I hope he keeps his tail, but I do realize that he could drop it at any point in his life. Fun fact: Cresties with dropped tails are called Frog Butt 🐸🍑😂

I was just thinking about how you should do a 2021 creastie care guide yesterday! I've thought about getting a bunch of different reptiles, and done research on even more, but now that I have a part time job I have the money for a reptile, I think it's gonna be a crested gecko! I probably already know everything I need to know about cresties to get one now, but while I save up I'm going to keep doing research. Also, I would've watched this video even if I wasn't thinking about getting a crested gecko, because all of your videos are awesome!

You can keep them on a loose substrate that retains humidity, such as coconut fibre or soil. As long as you feed them away from the substrate ingesting the substrate shouldn’t be an issue.

You forgot lifespan. That's as important as how big they get, imo. Most people don't mention it in these intro type video. Clint's Reptiles didn't even mention it. I wanna get one so bad, but I'm poor. They had two at my local pet store, just plain ol generic ones, and they were asking $99 each. Yowza

I got one :) I know they're common and that everybody's got one, but I looove cresties. Definitely one of my favorite reptiles overall. Now if I could just get the little bastard to eat. I accidentally got a 6month old. I didn't realize it was so small. Who ever was holding it in the pics had tiny ass hands. It sucks having it in a little tub instead of the awesome 18x18x24 vivarium I built.

i have a crestie and in my experience if you pay attention you can notice when theyre about to jump because theyll lock their eyes onto their target for a bit before jumping so if you notice it about to jump away from you (or towards a cat) youll be able to stop it before it happens :)
@markadams5009
@markadams5009 4 жыл бұрын
True, they kinda give you a heads up by staring at where they want to jump and flexing their legs. You can easily stop them by putting your palm right in front of their face.

I love cresties! I think I’m gonna pick up my boy tomorrow and i can’t wait. Just wanted to watch the video to make sure that my tank (that looks better than yours😂) is completely ready. Right now I’m just trying to keep the tampurature and humidity perfect but it hasn’t gone over 80 Fahrenheit. Also, i personally think that it is best to have a water bowl for them (i have 2 in my tank) but it probably would be fine without it (it was only like $10 more. So no big deal). I also honestly like the tailless geckos, I’m not saying I’m gonna rip his tail off, but i am saying that I’m looking forward to the next thunderstorm lol!
