Sneaky Lizards! Giant Gecko Update + SURPRISE! (Leachianus geckos)

[@eviehankins8223]

Lol I'm 💀with that sharpie face 🤣 but also I totally see that

[@emmablake1300]

Yup i see lips too. And the wizard is doing jazz hands.

[@Reptiliatus]

Hahaha

[@DLC-music]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@tracybowling97]

I'd love to hear how all the animals sound. Either at night or whenever they make sounds. I find that so fascinating!

[@Reptiliatus]

Some of them def do make some neat sounds! ☺️

[@rickh3714]

Yeah. I kept golden bell frogs as a kid and had the vivarium in my room at night. What happened on 2 occasions was a tinkling sound that sounded just like a little metallic bell. My dad rescued them from the biology teacher at school who had them for dissecting. I had them for a year or so before releasing them. Nowadays that is frowned upon (or illegal technically) as what we now know as chytrid fungus is often prevalent and this might spread it. I haven't yet found any other reference to the bell sound they made. I think most people assume they resemble Golden bells as they do as well (*IF their pattern is predominantly metallic gold on bright green). Some have very little or no gold markings. One or two are spectacular either in bright greenness or in metallic gold/ green patterning. They have a blue flash on their hind legs as well. Sometimes I see other ones in the garden in between drought periods. Sometimes I hear them 'screaming' when rats attack them outside. It was the frog they moved Olympic facilities for in Sydney but is still reasonably common as an introduced species in NZ. I live where Kawekaweau used to live and any strange noise in the bush I wonder if it is an undiscovered specimen. I imagine it might have sounded like a deeper voiced version of a Leachie. They could have eaten average sized ones of those for breakfast I think. That supposedly extinct giant gecko has New Caledonian DNA affinities but the old time Maori definitely described it as it appears in the Marseilles specimen. As we live in a tsunami zone it may not be inconceivable they may have arrived on a chaotic current from one of them thousands of years (or more) ago.

The sharpie doodle had me dying! 😂 My female leachie Ozlo is a total beast. She jumps at me and barks. I have tiny, slim fingers so I'm terrified of handling her thinking she could take my finger off. I only go in her enclosure when she's asleep.

Thank you!

I know a Leachie breeder this side that swears his do better in the smaller more "compact" enclosures which I find interesting. He said the more stuff that you can fit in the 45x45x60cm tank the better :D

[@curthatt6461]

Man, the Leachies look incredible! My juvenile PI female chahoua has been suddenly more aggressive at times. Nipping and jumping at me. She was always food aggressive, but she loved being out. I’m trying to hold her more to see if that’s it. I got my male and female out the other day and it was great. My male PI chahoua is always layer back. He’s 19 months old and she is 10 months.

[@danimoller9465]

I want a leachie so unbelievably bad!! They are some of the coolest giant gecko! They’re too expensive and I don’t even have an enclosure big enough! does a 30 gal tank work for them lol? :o Edit: I will gladly take that tank of your HANDS!!!

[@626johnd.6]

I have a crested Gecko and Brazillian Rainbow Boa. I had made the decision a while ago that my next reptile was going to be a leachie. I havent seen many videos about them so I appreciate this video as well as your ones about Sabby bc thats my dream lizard.

[@messi-ev2fg]

I like this video!!

[@KathySandru]

Stoner, the Beardie is extremely chill, won’t even bother to headbob when he sees his reflection. But Gaboon, the Vinegaroon, is very grumpy & extremely active at night. He will emerge from his den late at night, crawl on top of his enclosure (which is screened at the top) & scratch at it in an attempt to break out. The noise is not too pleasant at 2 am though! But we love him ❤️

[@Reptiliatus]

But it’s worth it! Vinegaroon’s are so fun! 😜

[@nathanbarnard5429]

my day gecko is temparmental. whenever he sees my finger, he tries to bite it. he also "barks" at me

[@haileybaker8542]

Try to get your hand to = something positive. Frequent handling is one of the only ways to work out aggressive behavior and develop their comfort. Put your hand in the tank more often to get him used to it. He needs to get used to it and know that nothing bad is happening and you're not a threat. This will take a long time with day geckos

[@haileybaker8542]

You do not have to get bit to do this. But know that if he bites you you should remain calm and not react in a way that shows the gecko that biting works to rid himself of stressful external stimuli

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

my leachie is quite tempermental! so is my childrens python haha, shes SO nippy even though i've been trying to tame her

[@nataliesreptiles]

QOTD: Normally all my reptiles are pretty chill. But lately one of my bullsnakes has been acting feisty. I'm wondering if because he is approaching 2 yrs old, that he is going through like a snake puberty. Maybe he smells the female bullsnake nearby and his instincts to breed is kicking in. Idk. But for once I actually have to keep an eye on him when I'm changing his water or doing something else in his enclosure because he will strike at me, and even got me once and drew blood. Definitely think the leachies would love a larger enclosure. Congrats on the pair of new leachie eggs.

[@squeakatu1981]

Hello Dayyan I hope you're well? I just wanted to ask why you don't keep the eggs in with the parents? Would the eggs hatch in that pot if left there? Thank you for another great video.

[@Reptiliatus]

Good question! Firstly I can’t fully control the variables for a successful incubation. The primary reason however is that leachianus love eating lizards. They also don’t have any parental instinct like some of the other reptiles you see on my channel so they would 100% eat their offspring. 😅

[@squeakatu1981]

@@Reptiliatus Thank you for replying. I didn't know that about the geckos, is that just leachianus geckos that eat lizards?

you are not the only one that see's this because i can see them looking like lips. And i would draw faces on them and i can the imagine the gecko getting mad at me.

[@k.thomas295]

Which in your opinion is the best MRP diet nutrition wise that you have tried? Mine is eating repashy atm... but i was thinking about trying leapin leachies ( linguine?)

[@Reptiliatus]

Personally I’m a big fan of variety! I think that anything that doesn’t have too much weird filler like pea flour and such is probably a healthier diet. My geckos LOVE pangea so I’ve been happy rotating their flavours and that’s mostly what I use in combination with live gut loaded feeder insects and some fresh fruit here and there too ☺️: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJy5ZKF-h5xgd68

[@animater2658]

yeah you should upgrade jabba and lila into a new enclosure because you have been updating every body else's enclosures so they should also have something new to enjoy just to make it fair.

[@greenfairyarchive]

I agree about the larger enclosure. My juvie marbled gecko male and his roomie, a female golden gecko, will need a bigger home soon. My Leo juvie, too. I’m accepting any spare Exo Terras! I’m scared of my marbled gecko. He’s big and unpredictable. It took several store employees to get him off the ceiling after he flew at our faces when the enclosure was opened. He’s slipped by me a few times too, and is the only lizard I have who’s ever bitten me. But I love him. Oh and my Leo is a mean little b”@@$) She hasn’t bitten me yet, but squeaks like a mouse in a trap.

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

Leachies don’t seem to like insects because they don’t get the right size. Both them and gargoyles are actually specialised in very large prey for lizard standards. Other than very large insects, like grasshoppers, they also could catch smaller lizards and other small vertebrates. They would probably respond better to grasshoppers, mice and even feeder lizards.
