MEET THE MOST UNIQUE CRESTED GECKO IN THE WORLD!

The best pet lizard is arguably the crested gecko and as more and more reptile breeders work with them, the more morphs will come out, and the more unique geckos as well, like Frazil. In this video, I travel to Las Vegas to meet with Tony Gross of Tony's Geckos to meet the most unique crested gecko in the world!

I remember when I was a kid the only lizards I knew about was iguanas, chameleons, and bearded dragons. 🤣 gosh crested geckos are so gorgeous!!!

[@subhub637]

great pets too!!

[@smithd2001]

Frazil is like patient zero a king of the cresties

[@kuceracm]

Could Frazil perhaps be a chimera with the bicolor eyes and how his coloration just stops so perfectly at that point on his head? Could explain why he presents so many different genes visually.

[@sherrybrzeczka7966]

Hybrids occur in nature so I'm on board and love seeing them. I understand the purist ethic as well, but nature and geography can overlap compatible species. They're all beautiful.

[@PunchingCacti]

Shouldn't really matter if it occurs in nature anyway because we aren't breeding them to be released into the wild. They are pets

[@sherrybrzeczka7966]

@@PunchingCacti Truth.

[@ciliatus]

Show me a chahoua x crested hybrid in the wild and I will shut up. Duento deforestation and imported rats and ants we might at some point see crested geckos vanish in the wild. But even if not, I dont want to end up with only hybrids in captivity and this is what is going to happen. People breed back hybrids to cresteds, not labeling the offspring correctly and we will end up with no pure animals anymore. Just like it happened with other species before. If he breeds the hybrids only for himself.... well ok, but I dont believe he does.

[@wnoo5844]

@@BillGates-hx3be he's really not, you won't have the real true species if they're all descendants from hybridization

Mr Tony Gross! Not only the best gecko breeder IMO but also a great, kind hearted person! A good friend of mine

[@crystaltripi7574]

Those geckos are insane! He seems like a very chill positive person I bet you had a blast looking at his beautiful wee ones and hanging out. Thank you ever so much for sharing and best wishes always.

[@starbyray7828]

Frazil is a beauty. The Chahoua/Crested hybrids are stunning especially the Red tiger patterned one!!!. The only concern I would have with hybridisation is health and care issues that might arise. Also would all the pure Crested and Chahoua Gecko genetic lines be lost in favour of the hybrids if they became popular.

[@sakasucircus]

Mules are popular but we still have plenty of purebred donkeys and horses!

[@alexphillips1885]

@@sakasucircus what a great comparison, chewies get larger than a regular crested so they’re not perfect for everyone.

[@jeffleverett4975]

Also, like a mule, I believe the crested/chahoua hybrid is also infertile, so therefore they themselves can not produce more, so with that crested geckos and chahoas will be pure still, and the only hybrids came from pure lines.

[@sakasucircus]

@@jeffleverett4975 I couldn't remember if they were sterile or not haha

[@starbyray7828]

@all replies Just to be clear, I am not against hybrids, in fact I would love to have one. I just responded to Dav's question at the end "What do you think of Hybrids and what are your concerns". I think they look amazing and if the "pure" lines remain then that is good for both species if we need to repopulate their natural habitat. 🤘 Rattle on 🤘

[@laobejanegra926]

*FUN FACT: i helped name Frazil back in the day! Tony & i were at a gas station picking up drinks, when he pointed out the Frazil slushie drinks 🤷🏻‍♀️ i had NEVER heard about it until then. So we got one & i liked it. At some point he mentioned still not having a name for his "unique crested baby" so i suggested FRAZIL ☺️ The rest is History* 🦎

[@thomminota1796]

As long as u keep track of hybrids and dont breed em back into the originals, I'm good with it

[@ciliatus]

yeah thats the problem. I remember having this debate with Tony before a few years ago, and he said he would do that, but I find it hard to believe he doesn't sell hybrids considering the many pairs he has going. And once out of your hand you have no control what so ever anymore. 👎

[@natedog2022]

@@mistybarelyanartist6118 thats what line breeding means. Reptiles lack the DNA that would cause birth defects so alot of breeders will breed parents with kids and siblings together to keep a pure color morph or to make it stand out more.

[@mistybarelyanartist6118]

@@natedog2022 yeah I asked my breeder about it after this video, I own two cresties, one of which I received from them. It just kinda shocked me because I remembered taking basic biology and seeing this was really alarming. Even though I know what it is now it still kinda feels wrong, because your still knowingly putting possible living animals in that situation that could result in them being in pain or having neurological issues. Idk I guess that’s why it feels wrong.. even tho the chances are lower than they are with mammals, there still is that chance, and to risk an animals life/ wellbeing for it to look pretty.. but then I came to the realization that that’s basically how we got all the different morphs and breeds at some point, and yeah.. it was a lot and i still don’t quite know how to take it. 😂😂

Is he stoned or is he just like that ? 😂😂

Those are some stunning geckos!

[@cynthialbell521]

Hi Dav I think that Frazil is beautiful, and his offspring have different colors, and patterns. I think that is ok to have hybrids, as long as they don't have genetic problems. His collection is so awesome, and he loves them, and takes good care of them. Thanks for sharing your visit. Cindy

Got the notification and clicked on it right away 😁

[@iGoddess]

Omg this makes me want to get some myself !!!! They're all so friendly and seem easy to take care of. They're all beautiful, if you asked me I couldn't pick a favorite, cause they're all absolutely stunning. I love bearded dragons, but they're a bit more costly than one or 2 of these. Do they not need UBV and other special lighting? Doesn't seem like they do and seems like they need humidity more than those lights and I live in a very humid area already. I love these ❤

I think hybrids are great, as long as they are respectfully and responsibly bred. Also they should be labeled what they're mixed with.

[@ianparkinson7039]

Hi Dav love the crested geckos they are beautiful. I’m not a fan of hybrids in any reptile. I think don’t play with what nature has done. Separate species, keep separate. Just a personal opinion definitely don’t think bad of people who do hybrids. Cheers from down under mate 🦘🦘🦎

Extreme Harlequin trj colors aren't what "nature has done" either

[@ciliatus]

@@jaykrizzle there are harlequins in the wild. Also with line breeding you still dont change the species of an animal.

He never explained how the white got so spread out too, from the Facebook page to when he was holding him. They look like 2 different cresties lol

My favorite lizards are crested geckos green iguanas and I would say alligator but I'm not crazy

[@Battshimself]

Holy shit.. that's crazy. Never seen anything come close to this..

[@lizardodelaroux5863]

I'm all for hybrids.. mainly with snakes. The problem with the chewy/cresty mix is the outcome is not as pretty as either of the 2.

And they say dogs resemble their owners...certainly a unique couple those two are

[@lizdyson3627]

As long as the animal is healthy then each to his own. 🤘

[@lyrieth8833]

Its reminds me of the cow retic gene, they are so beautiful, I love crested geckos! If the hybrid makes a healthy, reasonable animal then I am for it! Adds knew blood and genetics to the pool so you don't have inbreeding harmful mutations!

[@varesells8768]

I would like to buy one

Hi

[@tony3176]

Can they re-grow their tail ??

[@caterscarrots3407]

I'm neutral on hybrids. I'm not for or against hybrids. As long as the hybrids grow without having any issues, I think they are fine. In fact, I've heard that sometimes hybridization increases vigor, makes it less likely to have problems than the purebred. And I'm sure that there will still be plenty of purebreds out there for those who only want purebreds.

[@kyleerosee3]

Amazing. I love their little feets so stinkin cuteeee. I dont mind hybrids as ling as we are understanding all that goes on with them like life expectancy.. sterile etc.

[@lauriepenner350]

I'm not against it if it's not two endangered species you want to keep "pure". Can the hybrids breed or are they sterile?
