[@sageexotics1589]

Reptiles hear. I don’t know why anyone would think they don’t. Lizards have clear external ear holes. Snakes do not have external ears, so it might look like they don’t have ears, but they have internal ears. This doesn’t mean they can’t hear. If you cover your ears you can still hear. It’s thought that snake ears pick up vibrations from the ground more to listen to predators. So reptiles hear. Sound cues can help just as much as visual cues.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

haha exactly, thats the problem with youtube comments, people can claim to be an expert on anything "Snakes don't have ears, and can't hear, therefore your gecko cant hear you" 😂

[@Cxptivate]

Amen

[@karldoesstuffYT]

i mean thats like saying "my little sister was born deaf so every female i meet is definitely deaf

[@cfol4437]

Some tip I'd like to share (which works for any reptile really) is to define spaces inside the enclosure where you will never touch your animal and spaces where they will be handled. That way your animal will learn over time that when it's in a particular space it won't be bothered so it will go there when it really doesn't want to be exposed to you. On the other hand when you only handle your gecko when it's sitting in a particular space it will learn to go there when it doesn't mind your presence. For example in my enclosures I leave the entire left half as my reptiles private zone. They will only be touched on the right side and only handled when they come to the right corner of the sliding door where I let them climb onto my hand all by themselves. As soon as I sarted with this method I realized my animals being much more relaxed during handling sessions. It takes quite some time but the effect is really rewarding.

[@nananooknak]

Fantastic! i love my Burt! he fires right up when he sees me, Sophia on the other hand, runs like a basilisk when she sees me. i have learned to leave her alone. This is a very good tip that i will be sure to pass on to others!

[@noot369]

Yes this is perfect advice!

[@gerrysstruffle3535]

thanks for the advice. I just adopted one and it looks angry every time I touch it in his little cave. now I know!

[@karldoesstuffYT]

our family gecko is absurdly friendly, the corner of his tank is both his little basking spot and his hang out spot for humans. hes such a sweetheart, he seems to have PTSD from dropping his tail cuz he bites sometimes when he's being picked up, but he calms down when he learns we're not the humans that stole his tail. i have a bearded dragon with a little log near his door and he crawls onto it whenever he wants out or wants love. he never jumps out unless i put my hand under him so he knows its okay

[@pumitajacobi5928]

@@nananooknak awww your crestie is named Burt, mine is too!! Well, Bert for me, but I feel like it's such a suiting name for them :))

[@PureRandumosity]

I've had my male crestie for almost 4 years and hes at a point where when he sees me come home he comes out and climbs on the door. If hes not out where I can see him, he also knows "wanna come out?" and will climb out and come to the door where he waits to climb on my hand. My female is less trusting and gets extremely stressed if she spends more than a couple minutes outside her cage, making progress with her though, she actually came out and climbed on my hand last week and didn't chirp non stop.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

aw thats awesome to hear, it's great when it feels like they are greeting you :D

[@jaimegann3439]

[@jenniferhislop7007]

She's so pretty! A very gentle touch goes a long way with crested geckos. I agree with you that frequent or daily handling is important. My crestie will hang out in my hand or on my arm or shoulder. Sometimes it's for about 20 minutes or sometimes he will want to just sit with me for an hour or more. Watch your cresties body posture, if they look comfortable and relaxed or if they're in the ''S'' posture. I notice lots of times that my guys eyelashes fold in almost as if he were sleeping when he's enjoying his time with me. Time and patience are key. Great video!

[@cameronthegamingmaster3120]

U sure he's not sleeping XD

[@jenniferhislop7007]

I'd be honored that he felt comfortable enough to sleep on me, but I guess maybe not a deep sleep 😉

[@leopardgeckotalk]

[@Jazzthedog13]

I think one reason people claim lizards and geckos cant "love " you is because reptiles cant show much facial expression, especially when they can even blink, they show love just not the way most people recognize it.

[@1ksubswithnovideos402]

GuppyGang Rachel I know and when people hold my leo they see how effectionate he is

[@melanijagaile6099]

It's actually because they don't have that part of brain what us humans have to be able to "love" they can however trust you and feel close to you that way but not love, they honestly don't give a damn about us

[@leopardgeckotalk]

I think they can associate good things with a scent or something visual, like they can associate bad things/fear with certain things, if that makes sense. Like I imagine when my geckos hear me call their name they just pop up like :O "ooo its the lady with the fooooood!" haha

[@cfol4437]

Actually reptiles lack the part of the brain that is responsible for complex emotions that higher evolved animals have. On top of that geckos aren't the brightest even among reptiles. That's why their body language is so reduced. They simply don't need it for survival. They can't love you but you can train geckos and every other reptile to associate you with survival.

[@Jazzthedog13]

[@AmbiCahira]

Great video! As for hearing.. my aquatic turtles only has a circle on the skin indicating their ears and yet their hearing is fascinating. They learn to tell humans apart especially by voice, they have learned to recognize phrases and sounds and what those sounds represent like good morning, good night, hello, feeding noise etc. My mom and I look super similar and the only time they met her they could tell us apart and if my turtles can do that - so can geckos! My first turtle pair in childhood became so tame that when I lifted them out of the water they relaxed the legs like ragdolls and one liked head scratches/rubs a lot and the other loved gentle foot rubs so again, if this species of turtle can - so can your gecko. :p because turtles are probably the least human bound possible and hopefully it can give hope to someone. The more you stack positive experiences on their terms and gradually (like any early relationship you gain trust by respecting someone's body and space) the further you will succeed. :) I am doing research currently to possibly get a crested gecko, fingers crossed that we're compatible. ^^

Just that my gecko sorta backed up and bit the end of the plastic spoon of where I had the food on (I don't have anything to use), I don't know if that was the same feeding method where it launched or if it got a little mean and said: "No more" but these tips are very helpful and I will keep following them 😊 Thank you very much for this video! ❤

Hey so I got a crested gecko about a month ago. And he’s not adult yet but nearly there. Not sure on his age. But he isn’t eating really. And neither is he very active as in I hold him and he can be but he’s happy just sitting on you also but he’s not very active in his enclosure and I’m pretty sure doesn’t eat by himself I have to feed him every evening and I use a spoon for the Pangea/ repast I use. He may not even take it sometimes so I try out it near/ abit on his mouth to entice him to eat which usually works a bit. But he’s not a big eater at all and he looks like he’s losing weight (he wasn’t really chunky or anything when I got him anyway) Maybe he’s not a big eater but I was wondering if this is Normal as I often see that Lyra is really big food and is quite chunky while meeko (my crestie) really isn’t into food and won’t eat unless I entice him. I have no idea what to do please can I just have tips or help or something. Maybe he’s just meant to be a smaller boy? Or i have no idea. But I do have 3 different repashy flavours 2 different Pangea flavours and 2 Komodo ones just to see if he will like anything but he’s still not really into anything

[@Jesus-ji8dh]

I've had my crested gecko since January and they just turned 1. They are still pretty skittish when I try to handle them, to the point where I dont want to stress them out whenever I go to try to handle them. When I do manage to get them out of their enclosure, the often try to jump off my hands and onto somewhere else. Should I just give up and accept that my gecko doesnt want to be handled? Or should I keep trying to tame them?

[@prestigenoob6355]

My crestie was like that for a long time, but that can be changed over time. I've had my crestie for a year now and he hasn't changed much. It could be that habitat is too small or not enough hides. Changing that and doing small sessions of handling. Try 15 mins every other day and increase it weekly.

[@cfol4437]

In the wild young reptiles are a perfect prey item. There's a reason reptiles have a lot of offspring compared to other animals. It's because most of them don't make it to adulthood. So it's their instinct to be wary of literally everything as babies lol. So no worries. New caledonians mature pretty slowly. Your gecko will get more and more tame with every month it gets older.

These tips are excellent and I’m hoping with time he will become as calm as your girl when he’s out. Thank you ❤️

How is your relationship with your crestie now?

I plan on getting more plants and hides for my gecko, where can you get the coconut hide?

You can make one pretty easily.

I have a question: Is it okay to bring my gecko out of the cage even if it scares him? Whenever I put my hand flat in there, he just ignores it. Stares at it for a while, then crawls away. So, a few times, I tried picking him up by sliding my index finger underneath his chin and all that good stuff and bringing him out of the cage. But then, he gets scared and immediately tries to get back into his home. Should I keep doing this? Will he get used to it if I keep it up, or will it just stress him out? Like I said, I did it a couple of times, but I'd rather not do it again until I know for sure whether or not it's the right thing to do.

I’ve tried every trick in the book and my gecko is always skittish. He’s a male almost a year old and I’ve had him for 9 months. He’s been like that since he was a baby. I’ve done everything you suggested but it stresses him out so much that he won’t eat. So I am scared to be consistent with him because I don’t want him to refuse food and starve. Have you had this problem and if so how did you fix it?

My crested is but a mere feeble baby; however lately when I go to put him back in his cage after handling, he doesn't want to go in and tries to stay with me. It is very cute and I am growing quite fond of the gecko

That's a beautiful Crested!

I was hoping to get some help. Recently I’ve purchased a juvenile crested gecko and he’s never really been held before. I left him alone for a few weeks, and when I tried to let him he snapped at me. I left him alone for a while, and when I pet his back he attacked my finger. I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to have to give him away. If I can’t tame him, I won’t be able to keep him anymore. Please help

This video helped me so much!!! Thank you!!!

My new crestie Tangie seems to be a very social lizard if that makes sense, I adopted her from my local pet store and moved her into a more roomy tank that is also a bioactive set up and she seems to be really loving it and showing it by wanting to be handled, all I have to do is put my hand infront of her when she’s in the open area of my tank and will just want relax with me for a few minutes before I put her back so I don’t stress her out

[@Orange-xs6sz]

This video is great! Because I'm getting my crestie on sat

[@leopardgeckotalk]

ah perfect timing then haha, good luck :)
