[@ChantalsCritters]

They are very cute.

[@SupremeGecko]

Thanks TC for watching. I think they are too.

[@DEAexotics]

I had to come over and watch it again lol

[@SupremeGecko]

:) Hope this helps. I try to keep them easy peezy.

[@DEAexotics]

@@SupremeGecko yes it was I really like these

[@zacharymiller7641]

First comment!!! Excited for the isopods

[@user-ye5kp6rc2r]

Zach Miller what isopods did you chose?

[@zacharymiller7641]

Prime Time Gecko 1 (dairy cows), 4 (yellow dots), 9 (powder orange). I just started my first colony in preparation from wild caught pill bugs!

[@SupremeGecko]

How many FCs to you have for my videos in a row? This is fun to watch.

[@zacharymiller7641]

Supreme Gecko not sure exactly, but I get notifications for your videos and like 2 others. I’m excited to watch your channel grow.

[@SupremeGecko]

@@zacharymiller7641 Zach, I am excited too. I really enjoy sharing with others. I gotta tell ya, doing these videos are so hard for me! But it is worth it seeing comments like yours.

[@DEAexotics]

awesome gecko and great information

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you so much Andrew.

[@jdamelines]

Want!!! As you probably could already imagined lol! Cool little gecko.

[@SupremeGecko]

Completely agree.... way underrated in the hobby.

[@garyorner8325]

Love it my friend! Pictus are awesome

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you Gary. I think so too.

[@Aquarimax]

I loved this video! Lots of great details...a very tempting species!

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you so much Rus.

[@basementpets5327]

Ok i am definitely interested in this species now. If i decide to breed this may be the gecko i start with. These are absolutely AWESOME

[@SupremeGecko]

This is a GREAT gecko to start with for many good reasons.

[@vomrabenauge]

WAIT YOU STILL BREED THESE GUYS??? I have a female and I've been debating getting another female or a male and I've been having a hell of a time finding them. This is great!

[@SupremeGecko]

I absolutely do. My #4 favorite gecko :) I use to produce hundreds of babies a year but had to rebuild this last year after taking some time off. I have hatched a few this year and hope for a big year in '20. Love them! And yes, they are so difficult to find. If you message me on FB, I might be able to find someone that has some.

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

More like grounded versions of large house geckos rather than leopard geckos.

[@SupremeGecko]

Good point. I think the general keeper knows leopard geckos more. That's why I used that reference, but again, good point.

[@feliciafoster6165]

Great video. They look so cute! Where is the second female you mentioned?

[@SupremeGecko]

She was shy and never made an appearance.

[@ASAPpetinfo]

Would this species do fine on paper towel with a lay box, and how deep should their egg laying substrate be?

[@SupremeGecko]

They would be ok on paper towel and a lay box. It's much easier to use sand though (IMHO). Substrate should be around 3/4 to 1".

[@marcgould8922]

Have you got a video on tub set up for breeding and housing ,great video tempting little species

[@SupremeGecko]

Hi Marc. Did you find it yet? I have one showing how to set them up in about 1 minute.

[@marcgould8922]

I havent found it yet can you add a link pls and love the videos cheers marc from uk

[@SupremeGecko]

@@marcgould8922 Marc, it is literally called "Paroedura picta Setup in 1 Minute" :) Anyways, here is the link- kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnXZn4mKac-lb8U Leave a comment and let me know how you like it (and/if you have any questions).

[@jabobBeppler]

Any idea where to best find these? Also any idea if they’d take to eating any common isopods?

[@SupremeGecko]

I heard a breeder by the name of Supreme Gecko has P. picta :) Yes they will.

[@user-ye5kp6rc2r]

How much do they usually cost for a normal?

[@SupremeGecko]

They usually run under $40-$50 for juveniles. Adults can be @ $50-$75 for males and $75-$100 for females. (thanks for watching PTG)

[@lunaz_reptilesig7438]

I'm looking to buy pictus geckos instead of stenodactylus

[@SupremeGecko]

I would not consider Paroedura picta to he a desert gecko at all. And I do work with picta.

[@asflol]

Hi what do you predominantly feed your pictus geckos?

[@SupremeGecko]

Hi Alex, mostly mealworms and dubia. Occasionally crickets.

[@asflol]

@@SupremeGecko ok cool I am doing the same.

[@chrisknott6651]

I am planning on placing an order of paroedura species from you as they come available on your web site.

[@SupremeGecko]

Which species?

[@chrisknott6651]

I would like to get as many as I can. I love the Paroedura's. Had about 20 colonies of pictus back before I sold them all in 2006. I love the little ground gecko's.

[@chrisknott6651]

Stumpffi, pictus, bastardi, oviceps, androyensis, lohatsara

[@SupremeGecko]

@@chrisknott6651 All the cool ones :) I do have P. stumpffi, P. picta, and P. bastardi pairs that should be added to the store this week. PM me on FB/IG if you wanna grab them before they get to the store.

[@chrisknott6651]

I prefer trios, but pairs will do. Also looking for viper gecko's

[@Royalexotics7269]

I want a pictus or a androyensis! I DONT KNOW WITCH ONE!!!!!!! I like to handle my geckos, I just dont want them to be to fast.

[@SupremeGecko]

For handling- absolutely a P. picta

[@Royalexotics7269]

Thank you!

[@Royalexotics7269]

@@SupremeGecko Is it for the reason that the androyensis is only 3 inches. or because they dont like it.

[@SupremeGecko]

@@Royalexotics7269 both. P. picta absolutely tolerate handling better.

[@Royalexotics7269]

ok thank you so much! just wanted to see because I heard that androyensis dont like to be handled.

[@doomi8491]
