TikisGeckos I really like those gargoyle geckos and I'm thinking of maybe even getting some myself, also, what is the song at the intro of the video?

[@shiwolf080]

Hi tiki, thanks for all the great information. I am a ball python owner and I love reptails. I am research gargoyle geckos and considering adopting one in the future. I was wondering what type of insects do they eat?

[@bobbycxx505]

u can feed them on rapashy diet with no need for insects but i feed mine a few locusts every now and then

[@vertex8741]

i love the little one just sitting on your shoulder its the cutest!

[@musicwithkelsey2212]

This is a fantastic video, it's the best I've found yet on Gargoyle geckos. You give all the information anyone would need. I'm looking to get one and this really helped me.

[@Alan-bw2sc]

Manny: so um- David: tHAt’S a GoOd QuEsTiOn!!!!

[@ninaissad3072]

It’s so clear to see that you guys are very passionate about these animals! I just got my first gargoyle and I was very nervous about keeping him. But after reading a few articles, speaking to friends who own crested and gargoyles, and watching this video. I now feel a lot more confident about his care :)

[@LMT069]

This was great at giving us the knowledge behind gargoyle geckos during our search for a new pet, thank you.

[@Jay-ji6ng]

The Rachodactylus family are the prettiest geckos, in my opinion.

[@autumnlatus3429]

Might be adopting my first gargoyle gecko very soon, so this video really helped me out! A bit nervous, but I know he (or she) will be lots of fun!

[@logansisco567]

i love that you used the glitch mob in the beginning

[@lauriemeerlarock5649]

So looking forward to the little guy I’ve purchased from you guys arrival, and getting ready to spoil him! Love that little fatty Gargoyle on the left. soo cute! 😊

[@dreameyes74]

[@SillyHerpFamily]

Love your shirts guys! Your geckos are spectacular. Thanks for the video. I'm new to gargs. Just got my first 2 from Edgar from GeckoGen last weekend. Trying to learn as much as possible.

[@dickthompson8284]

[@nixonwhieldon9644]

Thank for the info that was the best info I have ever gotten

[@KiwiCaitly]

I know this video is a little older but it was really helpful! A month ago I thought I wasn't into reptiles and would never have any... 😂 I just got my first leopard gecko and I'm already planning for my next gecko to be a crested or gargoyle. Learning all I can and prepare g before I attend my first reptile show for my birthday this summer and probably get my next gecko! The info in this video is really solid. I love when I can tell peoole are really passionate about what they're teaching, and you guys definitely are.

[@erichouck3280]

Nice to see you again man

[@TikisGeckos]

Thank you brother, stay tuned for more videos

[@ryanclark5284]

[@vorastrix1680]

Great video! It helped me so much, as I am looking into having a pet gecko:) I was wondering if you have any tips on when they go into shed...thanks!

[@renvart]

Very informative! I was just wondering how many crickets I can feed a baby gargoyle gecko along with the pangea, you guys said once a week but how many crickets do you usually feed them?

[@joshuabrooks7241]

lol these two look young n this video. I’m sure they get alot of laughs looking back

[@ArtKidTV]

[@andjelalojpur1143]

Can someone tell me the main things you would need for a crested gecko? I would love to get one but i wanna know if im able to care for one properly!

[@sarpozel3207]

Is eco earth a good substrate? If it is will I need a drainage layer?

[@ReservoirChickens]

Is that Stairway to Heaven in the background?

[@TikisGeckos]

You dun goofed Yes sir!

[@wrathfang]

I have a male gargoyle gecko his right eye is really swollen doesn't look injured its just swollen just wondering if you had any tips

[@afranz112]

Hey I just got a gargoyle gecko. It started to turn a little bit more gray today. Is this normal? She still seems active and ate a little bit today, and humidity has been at a good level. Is there a normal cycle where they change colors?

[@katherinefoley6162]

My gargoyle gecko keeps laying eggs but they look weird... kindof wrinkly and dried up. Is she just laying infertile eggs or should i be worried.

[@JackOfAllTrades0404]

What morph was that orange beardie in the intro? So beautiful 😍

[@tmaxim2651]

I think geckos are cool but... your intro music tries way too hard and goes on for too long, in my opinion.

[@user-pq8yz9uy8f]

Can adult garoyles be kept in groups, i.e. one male and several females or just several females?

[@brittanycummings4172]

is the live moss ok to use?

[@tenziie1600]

How many crickets per week? And how much does a gargoyle gecko cost??

[@laughingc0w]

Why wouldn’t you feed crickets once a day while they’re growing? How many crickets do you feed?

[@MASKEDmanREVIEWS87]

Where did u buy the gargoyle gecko

[@rileygarcia5602]

Where can I find crested geckos online?

[@Whydidtheychangeittohandlesnow]

How old should a gecko be when you get it?

[@adriangalvan1136]

Where did you get your shirts that I would like to buy one from you guys or whoever sells them

[@dominickdelvalle6296]

So can u have two adult females or are they the same as the babies they need to all have there own enclosure

[@yomama02100]

[@temithabtemariamtesfaghabe2765]

What country are you guys from

[@lorenzogiribaldi2525]

Guys I have a question, this are aggressive???

[@killerpacmanfrog1425]

do gargoyle geckos need live food?

[@nilsknagenhjelm406]

u guys great but hot water or cold for the food

[@hannahmccoy4304]

My house is normally in the high 60's for it's temp so I need a heat lamp

[@100loggiebear]

Bloody Mary is so cool

[@user-sk7of5yc3l]

Is 10 gallons really enough space?

[@reptileboy91]

good vid

[@Twarock_nk]

Does someone know a breeder in central Europe?

[@olivialloyd-jones8743]

Mine does not have much of an appetite and when I got him crickets he did not eat them and we found them months later still in his tank

[@Avery-tz2ki]

Gargoyle gecko's dont need to eat crickets you can feed them Pangea food mix which is a powder you mix with water. My crested and gargoyle geckos love it

[@DazKilla]

What about heating lamps or mats , say in a colder country like Ireland where I live ?

[@BigCityBettas]

CaptainSeargent They cover that in the video.

[@mattslev]

Loved the video, but this is the worst version of Stairway To Heaven I've ever heard.

[@wxnter_atlanta]

Hello tiki geckos. I would like to buy the food for the geckos that come in packages, but the website doesn’t work for my phone.

[@nickia7578]

WinteratlantaYT Just get it on amazon

[@angelicarosa4996]

Are you going to breed these?

[@Teabone3]

good video

[@gregsmegkregtv1459]

do the gargoyle and crested geckos have to have live insects or can they be dead?

[@teslasgeckos2727]

my crested female will eat freeze dried crickets but my male won't touch any. dead or alive.

[@kjaramillo07]

Any one knows if they can eat slugs? Ty- next week with my new geckos :)

[@brettholmes1676]

Would you recommend housing male and female separately? And what size of terrarium do u recommend housing one /or 2 in?

[@TikisGeckos]

Brett Holmes I recommend housing single adults unless you want to breed

[@yetiteddy7821]

+TikisGeckos hey can I own a gargoyle gecko in hawaii

[@easywayguitar5152]

Is stairway to heaven playing in the background idk might be my phone

[@mynxwing8202]

can females be housed together?

[@gregsmegkregtv1459]

also what type of substrate is needed for them?

[@alexander.adamez]

gregsmegcreg tv Use 2-3" (5-8 cm) of coconut fiber, reptile bark, or moss for the best of your reptile. EDIT: The coconut fiber is found in brick like packaging. Coconut Fiber is highly recommended becuz it helps keeps the humidity around 70 - 80.

[@spudchunk811]

Do they bite as juveniles and does it hurt? Also i want to keep 2 juveniles together in a big tank, is this possible?

[@sydneyhart9768]

As they said never keep babies together.They bio and tails and road can come off.Did you even watch the video?The answer is no.Never keep any gargoyles together unless you are breeding.

[@killerpacmanfrog1425]

Awsome vid but could u house crested geckos and gargoyl geckos together

[@dickthompson8284]

HELP!!!! Question guys. I’m a newbie. I keep my house at 62-65 F during winter. I know you said light and heat are not necessary but I’m thinking that I will need some sort of heat source. Can you recommend what I should do? Thanks guys and y’all are da Bomb!

[@kikitootsie]

Uv light will raise the temp a little if that’s not enough a halogen light will be enough. Both will need a temp probe set to the correct temp

[@melissah3772]

Do you have to replace the substrate after a while?

[@kaylacurry42]

I would! I change mine about once a month but you dont have to that often I just go over the top :)

[@carolinelopezpr5236]

Hiii, so I have a gargoyle gecko and I’ve recently been struggling with how to prevent mold in her enclosure. I have a wood hide for her but I took it out because of the mold. She is a juvenile and I currently have her in an 18x18x24 exo terra. (Yes even though she is small she finds her food and she loooooves all of the space and uses all of it) I have to mist her ofc and I want to know if there is anyway to remove the mold off of the hide, or if there is a way to prevent it. If I can’t prevent it I’ll buy a plastic hide and clean the one I have and save it if I buy it for a leopard gecko. Posting this on multiple channels to get as much advice as I can:)

[@kikitootsie]

Make sure your enclosure has a time in the day where it isn’t wet. It should go through some dry periods, spray once per day. That might help. You can put the decorations with mild in hot water too. Humidity should still be 60-80%, no less than 40%.

[@trexlimdasher1234]

I just got a baby Gargoyle gecko and he's quite jumpy when i handle him is that normal?

[@PredictableEnigma]

Yes. Fish swim, birds fly, geckos jump. Unless it is a terresrial kind like a leopord gecko that lives in the desert and doesn't climb or jump like all the aboreal tree dwelling rainforest geckos

[@boxily]

I really want a snake but i hate to feed rodent this might be the best other pick

[@owenberg3366]

I know I am late but I need some help. I have an 8 month old gargoyle gecko. I offer her ( I like to think its a girl even though I have no proof yet) food every night, and sometimes she eats it on her own, and sometimes I feed it to her out of concern of nutrition and health. I keep the temp at about 75-78 in the day and 71-69 at night. I know she can eat the pangea on her own, but she hasn't grown any heavier in the last month and a half. I have her in a 12 gallon leopard gecko cage with plants and hides and four different food sources, At night she is alert and I can hear her going about the cage making noise. I guess my concern is that she isn't growing. She's only grown about a half gram in the the three months that I've had her. Any advice?

[@lillianizzabelle1045]

a 12g is way to small. Is your humidity up?

[@owenberg3366]

Lillian Izzabelle a 12 gallon is way to small? I spray 6 times a day

[@zunudoll2252]

Hey! Do you think that keeping a created gecko is better than keeping a gargoyle gecko.Thanks

[@brendadavis4923]

They're pretty much the same in care, it's basically up to you now. I personally want a crestie because I like the pattern.

[@Nightirio]

My parents really hate insects, Can i feed them just berries or pinky mice? Or should I just not get a gargoyle gecko

[@Avery-tz2ki]

Gargoyle gecko's dont need to eat crickets you can feed them Pangea food mix which is a powder you mix with water.My crested and gargoyle geckos love it

[@MrSnuggs]

What if my room temp gets hot in summer and cold in winter?

[@user-ld6is4ni3d]

Sorry for late reply, but u will need to manage the temrpature, unless u want a dead gecko:(

[@awesomechicken9360]

Did anyone see the geko on his shoulder.

[@lovemom07]

I just bought a gargoyle gecko and have had it for two weeks. When can I start holding it? The guy I bought it from says to wait three weeks but I wanted to know if I could just wait two and a half weeks??? Please respond!!

[@alexander.adamez]

Karla Aguilar It is highly recommended that you make sure your Gecko is healthy as can be. Handling too soon can cause a lot of stress. ( I wanted to do the same when I fist got mine :] ) If your Gecko has found its wait around and is comfortable, you can start. As soon as 2 weeks.

[@sassylilmama313]

I'd wait the recommended three weeks.

[@jessicarose6869]

I never waited. And my babies are fine.

[@solitary.witch0077]

@@alexander.adamez I got them from a breeder who handles them often but not excessively for them to be stressed out. I have a crested gecko now but I'm getting a gargoyle likely next week tho.
