Crested Geckos Vs. Gargoyle Geckos (Similarities & Differences)

[@makennaadrain7451]

I've been thinking of brining a gargoyle gecko into my life, thanks for the info!

[@scottmiller8375]

You’re incredibly knowledgeable about everything you talk about. I’m a recent subscriber with years of reptile and amphibian husbandry experience and it is so refreshing to see a beautiful soul such as yourself so passionate about all of these different species. Keep doing what you’re doing and you definitely have my support!!

[@reptiliangarden]

Scott Miller Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to me. You made my day!

[@emberlyspeaks]

Sad to know that cresties are dwindling in the wild. Such beautiful creatures.🦎

[@mypawfectfamily]

I’ve been a long time subscriber and never wanted to own any reptiles, but for some reason, I have been really wanting a crestie or a gargoyle gecko recently. Not sure why:) but atleast I can binge your videos while I’m deciding :)

[@andersschmich8600]

To be honest I really want to get a Gargoyle Gecko but they're just a little too expensive for me right now, I guess they just seem a little more unique and exciting that cresties, though in fairness I have't had either.

[@Loviekinz]

I wont pay $250+ for a baby Gargoyle. I got my girl when she was said to be a 3 year old adult. Someone had her and didn't want her anymore so I got her for $100.

[@jadesjungle]

Ya I give up, they’re both perfect, I’m sure I have room in my life for both 😂🥰

[@pilarlandaverde5071]

Aww your new intro is so cute🧡

[@reptiliangarden]

Pilar Landaverde Thank you! I felt it was time for a change 🌿💕✨

[@zulyaa4291]

If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have known about the decrease of wild population of cresties ! Love this channel, so underrated but us true fans we appreciate you a lot

[@hernanvarin9685]

One of my crestie bite me before it was the funniest thing

[@jpslizards]

As soon as I'm on my break from work I will watch this lol.

[@MrsKel1]

Your gargoyle gecko is so beautiful! I have a Crestie but no gargoyle yet. I would love to have both!

[@reptiliangarden]

MrsKel1 I hope you can get yourself a gargoyle soon!! 🤞🏻✨💕

[@oaktreeanimalhome9498]

My crestie has always been super defensive and always bites me no matter what I do, he's even drawn blood twice. I've tried many ways to help him destress while being handled but I'm thinking I need to start accepting him the way he is and give him less stress by only being handled when the need arises.

[@reptiliangarden]

OakTreeAnimalHome That just goes to show how different each one can be. 😅 That’s how I had to accept my skink and not handle him and just give him his respected space and enjoy him for what he is lol

[@autumnsmith6097]

this came in my recommended and was just perfect for me 🥰 they’re both so cute though 😭

[@taeviansworldofreptiles3828]

Super helpful videos as I kind of mix these up a lot

[@reptiliangarden]

Taevian's World of Reptiles! I’m glad! I used to confuse them with eachother all the time too 😅

[@michaeldomino]

Thank you for making this video. I found it to be very informative. I definitely learned some things about both species that I didn’t know!

[@jakethesnakestoner]

Thank you for mentioning conservation status! 🙌🏼

[@lisamccullough5150]

These geckos ABSOLUTELY drink from dishes as well. They should always be offered water in a shallow dish. That is some serious misinformation.

[@reptiliangarden]

Lisa Mccullough I highly recommend against it because few of them do and I can easily see people using water bowls as the easy way out and not misting down the enclosure. I’ve seen it done wrong too many times with dead geckos, so I always recommend misting above all else to make sure the geckos are getting the hydration and humidity needed. There’s nothing wrong with adding a water bowl, but I try my best to advocate misting to avoid dehydration.

[@LISSoundtrack]

Every time i see a Crested Gecko they always look big/plum.. but mine (6 months old) looks so slender. Is it because he's still young and will he fill out? He's looked after and fed really well.

[@hannahclassen8358]

Thank you so much for this video! It has helped a lot!

[@ellesreptiles]

Great video! And I love the new intro! 😊

[@reptiliangarden]

Elle's Reptiles Thank you so much!!! 💕💕💕

[@Loviekinz]

Also it annoys me when I hear "they don't drink from water bowls" - I've seen 2 of my 3 Crested using a water bowl + my gargoyle using a water bowl. And even if they don't use it, it helps keep humidity from falling too low. I must in evening and during the day the water bowl keeps them around 50% humidity

[@VC-nd1uk]

Where is the link for a picky eater crested gecko

[@statefarm5951]

I just got my baby gargoyle gecko and so far it’s bit me twice but that was my fault the first time didn’t hurt at all the second time hurt a little but now he’s very calm He’s a baby and he doesn’t mind me handling him he seemed more drawn to me after I held him and fed him my self if anyone is wondering

[@kadinaism]

I love my gargoyle gecko so much ❤️

[@_______5345]

Really strange ive heard the gargoyles generally cost less not to mention that they are less likely to eat from bug feeders

[@MrWillaqui]

Great video! Very informative. Thank you.

[@Loviekinz]

I have 3 Crested + 1 Gargoyle. Major difference I notice; Gargoyle nails scratch me sometimes, Crested ones don't. And my Crested Geckos are far more social. They go on/near their doors and WANT to come out, like they see me and climb on me and seem to enjoy being out. My Gargoyle moves around her tank less, and doesn't ever seem to WANT out. She's tame and all when she is out(hasn't tried to bite or anything) but she's more jumpy and seems to be indifferent to coming out, like tolerates it but doesn't seem to actually care if she comes out or not. My Crested Geckos though beg to come out, they look at me or come over once they see me so Crested Geckos are a little better if you want a pet to hold.

[@fanofthings6720]

Actually The one thing that I think is incorrect in here is that gargoyles require more bugs , it’s true that they’re more carnivorous but they actually tend to really dislike bugs and many people have a hard time getting them to eat bugs, they do greatly on just the powdered diets and don’t really need more bugs

[@Emma-wi8ri]

Love the new intro 🔥

[@HollyMaddison]

I have both, got my crestie first though and I have to say she will always be my favourite aha

[@reptiliangarden]

Holly Maddison The first always has such a special place in your heart 😭💕

[@alyssagrowden5168]

Good comparison 😊

[@crazydave9735]

bruh this video was made on my birthday

[@catedubill4067]

My crested gecko won’t eat insects, how do I change that?

[@hollyshaw3148]

Great video!! Thinking about getting gargoyle geckos I have 2 enclosures all ready now just have to find the 2 for me:)

[@reptiliangarden]

Holly Shaw Good luck on your gargoyle quest 🤞🏻✨💕🦎

[@HustleHabit]

Is that a real plant growing across the bar in the background? Looks great, I'd like to get one.

[@peterscaritojr7835]

Great video very informative I do have a question hopefully it’s not to odd on one video that I saw recently it says that the crested geckos have a tendency to poop on you when your handle, is there some truth to that in your experience? Do gargoyles do the same thing? Appreciate your input thanks again

[@cassidy7684]

i have a gargoyle gecko and i really want a crestie!!

[@georgiamoonproductions979]

Now your talking my talk..😁😁❤💯...& maybe where u are..Gargs are anywhere from 80-100..Baby gargs in my area start at 160..🙄🙄..But love the vid as always..Glad to see you shining on another day and always waiting to see what you pull out next..❤💯

[@reptiliangarden]

Georgia Moon Productions Thank you so much!!! And it is hard trying to find a plain gargoyle under 100. 😅 it is possible, but difficult to find these days lol

[@georgiamoonproductions979]

@@reptiliangarden 😁😁😁🤑🤑🤑...I think the more u spend on the animal..The better you are likely to take care of it..But nomatter how much..I see my Repts as a Whole..Just one is a little different then the other..Last week I finally got a LLC for GeorgiaMoonProductions...So starting small and growing..And hopefully one day own GeorgiaMoonExotics...😁😁😁....And change that price into free babies for myself..❤❤💯😎

[@skeletonizer9529]

The most important difference is that crested geckos are cuter

[@stinky2435]

Do you have a video for tips to keep your reptiles a little bit more warmer during winter.?

[@frankrelmar5903]

Now that was very interesting great information I wish I had more time on my hands I'd love to try doing crested gecko but right only have time for my bearded dragon and they are extremely easy to take care of and buddy is very healthy but when I do I will I always love having reptilians but great video kiddo thanks

[@reptiliandomain5002]

Yay, the pothos looks healthier 👍👍👍👍👍

[@reptiliangarden]

wacky pets Finally! It really perked up today after watering it like crazy for a few days. 😅😭✨🌿

[@lexieurch]

So the real question we need answered is if you prefer cresties or gargoyles 👀

[@reptiliangarden]

Lexie U I’ve honestly always preferred gargoyles over cresties. But it’s so hard because I love my cresties so much too. 😭

[@meganclare7]

Says gargoyle geckos eat more insects *looks at my gecko* I could shove a cricket up to her face and she be like naa . I think it depends on the gecko.

[@speedytaco8508]

Simpler video: Cresties have a crest and gargoyles don’t.

[@Strawberryfidelity]

I noticed you say in your video that they won't drink out of water dishes. This is not true. I have 3 geckos. 2 crested and one gargoyle. I do spray to keep up the humidity and they do lick the water droplets but I also provide a water dish and have witnessed all of them drinking from their dishes. It's important to provide both.Please be careful when making your videos. Someone new to the hobby might come across your videos looking for information so you want to make sure that you are up to date with your facts.

[@reptiliangarden]

Strawberryowl I’ve heard that some of them do drink from water bowls, but I always emphasize to mist the enclosure so that they can hydrate themselves because most of the time they won’t drink from water bowls. It’s how they naturally hydrate themselves in the wild, so I think it’s important to replicate this in captivity as well. My fear is that people will use water bowls and that will cause their geckos to become dehydrated because they don’t understand the use of them. I’m glad that some of yours do utilize them though! But that’s not usually the case and I think it’s better to be safe than sorry.

[@georgiamoonproductions979]

Yeah..Its better to do both..Been in it myself a while now..And never once saw mine using their bowls..

[@Strawberryfidelity]

Reptilian Garden lol how would some one not understand the use of a water dish? And as for how they hydrate themselves in the wild, are you implying that the only way they get hydration in the wild is to drink water droplets when it rains? Lol do you think they never drink from shallow puddles in the wild?

[@georgiamoonproductions979]

The animal might not understand it...move along..so what your animal drinks out a dish..not all do..so make sure you do both is what shes saying..some.will only put a water dish..next thing you know..its dehydrated and cant shed..NEXXXXXTTT

[@Strawberryfidelity]

Georgia Moon Productions some geckos are more shy than others and you might not see everything that they do but you know that already I'm sure. It's important to provide a good water source that is always available. Also humidity levels and your geckos hydration are not the same thing. Humidity levels have to do with how much water is in the air inside your Geckos enclosure. Hydration is the actual ingestion of water.
