What do you love most about Crested Geckos?

I LOVE CRESTED GECKO'S CUZ THEY ARE SO INTERESTING. It was thought they were extinct til 1994 when found in New Caledonia in large numbers. They have no eyelids & have double jointed toes. If they drop their tail, it sadly won't grow back, causing them to have a bit of trouble moving from branches as it's tail is prehensile. If they lose the tail, they are known as a "Frogbutt". They come in so many colors and fire up and down. Unlike many geckos, they are omnivores. My son and I are getting 1 in the next couple weeks and I can't wait. He convinced me to get 1 by presenting facts and care requirements to me every night until I caved. If I stated anything untrue, please feel free to correct me so that I'm properly educated... Oh, and some call them Eyelash Geckos. GREAT VIDEO THANK U FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

That I don't *have* to feed them bugs and the diet is pre-mixed. I absolutely loathe having to get insect and other bug supplies for feeders. It's not even that I hate bugs. It's just excruciatingly frustrating to feed something bugs where I live unless I raise them myself due to supply issues and I don't want to do that. I just want to note that I have tried giving my single crestie bugs a few times in the past. She actually ignores them. Instead I feed the Pangaea diet with bug parts. Edit for spelling. Autocorrupt is evil.

Do it! I love my little guy. He is my tiny scaly idiot son. I researched a ton before getting him. I went to a spring expo so I could talk to breeders and get info on care etc. Then I spent the summer building a bioactive enclosure so it could be settled and ready for the fall expo. Went to the expo last September, already knew which breeder I wanted to buy from, went straight to her table and took a look at what she had. She had geckos ranging from young babies, to juveniles, to adults that she was retiring from breeding. I found my eye kept being drawn back to this little juvenile red dalmatian that was super active in his cup. She asked if I wanted to hold him, I said yes, and it was love. He is the best. He is super chill. I can handle him no problem, and he seems to enjoy chilling on me while watching TV. He likes to curl up on my chest for naps. If I offer my hand, he'll curl up under it like a cave.

I’ve had a crested gecko for a few years now. I love him dearly, but over that time, I’ve struggled with anxiety and severe depression. I could barely get up from bed to eat, if at all. I’ve worried so much about him, and I’ve been afraid I haven’t been caring for him properly. I don’t handle him often, and I feel I’m not giving him enough love. Before I got him, I did all the research and bought everything that was recommended. I was really looking forward it adopting him. And I still love him. I’ve been so worried, especially since he lost his tail. (I was on vacation, and had someone feeding him for the week, and when we came back, his tail was missing.) Every time I see his little face, it makes me smile. And then cry. This video has helped me get up and go out to make sure he has the best life with me. Thank you for the video. His tank is the recommended size, and I’m planning on getting a larger one. He has fake plants and a dirt and moss substrate, and I’m hoping to replace those plants with real ones. I clean his enclosure about once a month, and rearrange it after cleaning. I’ve kept his enclosure between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit (I live in a colder region, It’s a miracle if it gets above 70 outside during the summer) and his humidity between 40-80%. (I have to leave for work every day, so it drops on its own to around 40% by the time I get back.) after watching this video, I’ll make plans to try to get his enclosure warmer and keep it between 50-80 humidity. (I’ll probably buy an automatic mister.) He eats rapashy, a mix of two flavors because when I was trying to transition him over to one from, the other, he got picky and now will only eat the mixture. I feed him every 2-3 days, and am planning on getting crickets. I’ll hopefully soon be upgrading his tank to add more hides, plants, branches, and a more natural feel. Is there anything else I could do better?

@@se9882a good way to tell is to use paper towels at the bottom of his/her enclosure, that way you can easily see where your little fella used the restroom. Also look for small dents in their food, I’ve had my oldest for 7 years and sometimes he still will just barely pick at his food, and other times he eats it all. Also, you’ve had them for not even a week so give them time to adjust to their new environment and get comfortable with you and the noises etc.

Perfect timing, my son just started asking for his first reptile. He is 11 and has been doing his research and presenting a sales pitch each evening to convince me it should be a Crested Gecko. We are picking up an enclosure and all the accessories we will need next week b4 we pick one out. I'm as excited as he is. It's a good thing since care sometimes occasionally falls to parents who don't enjoy reptiles or dont know how to take care of them. Great info, as always! I would love to see a video on Monkey Frogs if you have some good info 2 share. I just saw a short on 1, and they look so interesting with all the wax they rub around. Thx

My crested gecko Spyro, bit my dad when we first got him. He was a bit scared of him , but now he’s such a cutie and he is a total goofball sometimes. My first crested gecko sadly passed away due to a fungal infection and he died right in front of me and I was so heartbroken. Right now Spyro is still in my parents house as I actually need an emotional support animal letter in order to keep him in my apartment as my apartment has a no pets policy that includes no small animals as well. I miss him so much and my parents have to take care of him for me because of this situation.

I got a crested gecko about three years ago (he'll be four in September,). Sadly I didn't realize I was supposed to be using a heat source...but plan to get one asap. For the ceramic heat emitter, what wattage should I use (seems like 60w and 100w are what I see)? It will be on top of a hexagonal terrarium that is 19"x17"x23" (lwh)? Thankfully he seems to be doing well. Didn't grow much for the first two years I had him but has hit a huge growth spurt in the past six months. Thank you for your help and keep up the incredible work you do!!!

Love crested geckos! They have such a variety of personalities and colors. One of my boys will slide his way off my hand and hang by his tail while reaching for whatever he thinks he's going to land on. From what I've seen and read through, it's not recommended to keep multiple together, especially not males. Definitely increase the enclosure size and number of hiding spots, and monitor for signs of fighting/stress if you go that route. Be prepared to separate permanently if worst comes to worst. Some crested geckos seem especially interested in attacking other lizards, others are more avoidant, and you never know what you're going to get.

Awesome guide, would love to see one with Gargoyle Geckos in the future as while they are very similar looking (and have similar care!) they are not the same and have some variances in what they prefer. Most notably I've seen a lot of conflicting information from the varying sources out there and many are a bit older so it's difficult to know what's really for the best for them. I do know they're a bit hardier than cresties in general so I've seem some more ranges in there as well but even then I see some folks suggest 50% humidity and others 70% and different temperature gradients too.

I found out after getting my first crested gecko, Tapioca, that I have an allergic reaction to the tiny claws. I get red welts, and it's super itchy. But it was too late. I was in love! Now I have Tokoloshe, a male, and plan to get more. I just wear long sleeve shirts when I handle them 😅

Adam You’re awesome! Keep up the great work! I know care guides don’t always do good but I hope this one does! I’m trying to do a lot of research on red eyed crocodile skinks before I plan to get one in November. If you have any tips or recommendations that would be appreciated! Also how do you keep live insects at home? Or do you just buy them same day each time?

Hi, Loved your video. I live in N. California and it gets hot in the summer here. I don't have central air where I live. Is there a way to keep a habitat cooler in my situation. Don't want to get one if this is going to be a problem. Appreciate any advice. Lisa

Are they ok in totally dark rooms at night, and of course letting sun in during day, with maybe some uvb light. But if it’s like totally dark for them, can they see❓

I have a question for you, my crested gecko hunts in such a way that he digs soil into his mouth and I have had to clean his mouth several times because he didn't get rid of it, so I want to ask you what you would recommend instead (something other than a paper towel please)

Hi 👋 great information, hope you don’t mind me saying that I think it is important to say that they can drown in very little water & only need shallow dishes. Say Pangea size to drink from . I know people say they can lick from leaves but they also will often drink from their dishes too . Their more intelligent than people give him credit for don’t you think ? 😊

silly question, texture wise, I know what a crested gecko feels like (they're so smooth and fun to handle!!) I am considering getting a gecko for the first time and I am torn between the gargoyle and the crested, I love how derpy cresties look, and they feel so soft, but I kinda prefer the structure of the gargoyles looks wise. I was wondering, are gargoyles as smooth to the touch as cresties?? if so, I might be sold lol

This might be a stupid question but how would I DM you my geckos cages? And also if I did could you give me advice on how to improve them? I feel like they’re good but I don’t know if I’m doing it right, I have 5 geckos, 4 leopard geckos and 1 crested gecko. One of my leopard geckos has metabolic bone disease because he was a rescue and I’m not sure how to go about setting up a bio active tank for him while also keeping him comfortable in his environment, do you have advice on how to do that? 😅

Are they sensitive to noise at all? I know it may be a weird question, but I'm a musician and since I still live at home the only place I can put the tank is my room. Or, like, how affected are they by less consistent lighting in the room they're in? It'll never be dark during the day, because I'll leave my curtains open, but it's not bright, either, compared to days when I have off and the lights will be on. And either way once I'm home the lights are normally on until 10, then I switch to a less bright warm light (about the equivalent to a salt lamp) till around midnight. But if I had to cover the tank at night that would be fine, it's the noise I'm most afraid will bother it
