Pros & Cons of Owning a Leopard Gecko

Hiiii! How's life been? | Tell me in the comments below!
This video shows you the pros and cons, of the ever- awesome, ever-famous reptile: leopard geckos! Leopard geckos are SOO well known and with their popularity there are a lot of people that want them! And with the fact being that there aren't many videos like this one on this species of reptile, I felt obligated to make one!
If you have any questions about anything I may have said in the video, don't hesitate to ask a question. Also, some of the pros may be cons for some people and some of the cons may be pros for others, that's just how it works! :)

[@a.8901]

"They are calm and docile" right right I picked up my gecko and he fucking screeched and jumped. Then started running.

[@WithASideOfTibbs]

It all depends on personality and whether they are tamed or not. I own 2 leopard geckos, and one is completely fine with me. Curls up in my hair and sleeps. The other tries to run from me and freaks out, but lets me hold her for maybe 10 seconds before leaving. (Still trying to tame her). It really all depends.

[@balvanevan6363]

He's shy lmao

[@massivelegend4705]

Every gecko I’ve had has been chill their whole life. Also it depends how you pick them up, if you grab them completely they’re gonna freak out. I either scoop mine up or if it’s an adult I slightly pinch it by the belly

[@tamerlyrazon9916]

I'm going to be honest, you are one of my favorite KZbinrs you totally deserve way more subscribers! And views!

[@JitterFlicks1]

Wow, we learned a lot from this video. We just got our first gecko today and are learning from all over. Thanks for sharing.

[@Razzlewolfflight]

Basically, the first rule is if you can't touch bugs- do not even contemplate a Leo.

[@arBauer]

Or pretty much any reptile....

[@Razzlewolfflight]

Not really. Snakes eat rodents mostly. Monitor lizards and bigger eat rodents, rabbits, etc. It's only the small reptiles that are insectivores.

[@ProfessionalPets]

Razzlewolfflight I don't touch bugs LOL! I use tweezers - great alternative for anyone who doesn't necessarily want to actually touch them. As long as you can tolerate their existence you should be fine. :)

[@lemonsandlimes1656]

I use tweezers as well. I never touch the bigs with my hands.

[@livd9578]

I can’t touch crickets.. wax worms I can touch but crickets I can’t. I keep my gecko on worms mostly

[@noconnection6964]

Actually Juvenile leopards geckos don’t get fed everyday baby’s feed gets fed everyday juveniles get fed every other day while adult you feed them and then you wait maybe like three days and then you feed them again

[@GameBrain321]

[@ProfessionalPets]

+Reptile Z Hi Reptile Z! If you will have adult supervision and parents/guardians that are willing to take you to the pet store or somewhere of the like....totally! The only reason I advise against pets for really young people is because there are illnesses that can arise and parents aren't always willing to help. You know yourself better than anyone so if you are mature and think you can commit to taking care of a living thing - go for it! You just need to prepare yourself and make sure you know a lot about leopard geckos! If you have any questions feel free to ask. I wish you the best of luck with your new friend. :D

[@AnimalandGamingchannel]

Thanks I've been researching a lot about leopard geckos and I'm the only who can take care of a leopard gecko

[@martinezrblx6724]

+Reptile Z What would happen if they are awake in a dark room during the day?

[@asianbatman555]

Elite Dunkachino115 I believe that it's not too bad, as breeders often keep their leopard geckos in racks where they barely get any light

[@martinezrblx6724]

+AsianBatman alright thanks

[@TheAnimallover654]

Do they only need insects to eat or do they need vitamins too? Nice video btw! I really enjoyed it!

[@goooobi]

Get this vitamin sprinkle and put it on the crickets or mealworms for your gecko it helps them eat vitamins and eat there food faster

[@TheAnimallover654]

Thank you

It's a hatchling leave it for 3 or 4 months and you can tame it.

^ But that's only if it's tiny and has a squeaky voice.

[@goobygoob9312]

[@hostage3172]

i own a bearded dragon right now and im thinking of trying a gecko out after my beardie... are they very different from bearded dragons or are they kind of the same... bearded dragons eat mealworms too so i have no problem with bugs.... does the temperature need to be hot or cold? what do u use for flooring in their cage? and do they like green looking cages or desert-like cages? this video taught me alot about them thank you :)

[@jordantate_]

I'm getting a gecko soon and after lots of research I've discovered that yes they are similar to bearded dragons. Except they prefer there heat to come from under the tank (undertank heating pads instead of heating lamp domes) and they're nocturnal while bearded dragons are diurnal. Also, the temperature of the heating pad needs to be 75-90, definitely not 100+, that's too hot for geckos. Most importantly DO NOT use sand for the substrate. You can use a paper towel for baby geckos and juveniles but for adults I recommend some reptile carpet.

[@itsthatfan3871]

I have a gecko and basically sorta the same as what the person above said. also if you have a cat...I wouldn't get a gecko, my cat attacked it and nearly killed it so..

[@morganelise22]

I'm nine (10 next month) and I mainly hate everything (i'm strange okay) and hate "playing". I think leos will be good for me because I am mainly awake at night and am more mature than best people this age. I've also done tons and tons of research so I think I'm gonna get one.

[@ProfessionalPets]

jonah molina Hi! I wish! haha! There is maybe a 5% chance that once you get a leopard gecko it will be tamed and that is only if the leo you get is from a breeder or a friend that has already tamed them. If you adopt 99.9% of the time they aren't tame, especially if from a pet store. Also even if they were tame they still need to adjust to you, their new owner! So I hope I answered your question! Thanks for watching, and commenting. it means a lot. Also, I have many more leopard gecko videos on taming. Look around the channel and you'll find some :)

[@mikohayashi9029]

Hey! I've had a leopard gecko for 2 years and recently got one that my girlfriend bought me. They are wonderful pets and I love mine to bits. I have my male Loki and my female Frejya. Both are currently separated as Frejya is young. About 6 months old I believe. A suggestion to those who want a leopard gecko: They do in fact eat insects but always research before buying. There are a lot of pros to owning one and it's quite a learning experience. A good feeder insect is the dubia roach. Currently only available online, they are a healthier feeder for a leopard gecko as they have more vitamins and nutrients than a cricket when gut loaded. Crickets are known to carry more parasites than any other feeder insects. I currently feed mine mealies, dubias, and occasional waxworms. They love it. Dubias can cause growth spurts in leos too. My male already grew an inch. 9 inches and a bit heavy now! This is a great video and y'all should watch it to know the pros and cons. Hopefully those who want a leopard gecko will take great care of them! :D

Every time I see a video saying how quiet leopard geckos are I think of the one at my work that is so vocal. He makes tons of different sounds and you can pretty well tell his mood from his sounds (as well as body language, but he makes very specific sounds for different moods). I literally want him SPECIFICALLY for how vocal he is because it's so cute.

Few questions: The ones in the petshop had heat lamps in their enclosures, when you take them out do you have to make sure they don't get cold or is it ok as long as it's not for too long? Is it likely that when you first get one they will be scared and their tale might drop off? and how long do they usually live? Thanks :)

Love the video! Great tips. How do you tell when they are adults. i think mine is about 4 months old, but I really don't know. I love him so far. Working on getting him more socialized.

Good pros/cons list. I just got a Leo. I choose a Crested Gecko for my first, well second as I had a Green Anole, lizard because the no heat lamp requirement for them was at the time better for the space I had available. Love her though, and I can't wait til my new Leo is settled in. Definitely, think she'll be easier to tame than my crested gecko was since cresties will drop their tail in a heart beat if stressed or feeling threatened (ie when you reach for them). Leos seem much more attached to their tail but I learned a lot about handle taming with my crested gecko and she was a toughie (used Tegu taming techniques). Learned a neat trick that I tried on the Leo before I bought her and she seemed to start taking to it so she seems like a quick learner. My crestie is fast too plus can jump quite a few feet and then sprint up the wall if she wanted. It was like hop scotch the first month of handle training. Now she walks hand to hand pretty nice. I know Leos once tamed tend to be more lazy than cresties after they reach over a year.
