The BIGGEST Pet Geckos YOU Never Knew Made GREAT Pets!

What is YOUR Favorite Gecko Species?

My fat gargoyle female

Leopard and crested geckos!

Crested all the way!

[@AshendrisSilvermist]

Gargoyle & the lep gecks (sounds like a band name)

[@dannyblack7602]

I have a leachie. Love her so much.

[@williamfowler8686]

"They make clicking sounds" bro they can scream. My wife tried to pick a bit of substrate off the base of ours tail and she scared him. He legit screamed as he ran away.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

They are hilarious

As an adult gecko?

[@williamfowler8686]

@@RegenTonnenEnte yeah

[@knotletis]

I once had mine run up my shirt sleeve and she screamed when I reached up to get her. She was the most vocal Leo I’ve known, she’d chirp when she wanted to be handled or after she ate and laid her belly on a warm piece of slate. I miss her

@@WickensWickedReptiles We are counting on it. I do wonder if someone could do box turtles,green rough snakes,garters and NC anoles,and a few frogs..They would really need their own room though!

as someone who owns a tokay gecko they are amazing. super angry all the time but are great to watch in their enclosure. good eaters as well they hardly refuse meals.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

:)

[@UnusualElan]

how noisy are they at night?

[@deutschlander85]

Leachies were my bucket-list animal, and I was able to pick one up about four years ago. In my limited experience, they are simply beyond awesome, but they take a lot of effort. It took a long time to really gain her trust, and a leachie's bite is no joke. I got nailed once, and she refused to let go for about half an hour. Nothing I could do but just sit back and watch the blood flow. But it's only been three or four times amid thousands of interactions. If you put in the time, they are very rewarding pets. I'll put in a quick shout-out to Leapin' Leachies powder. Lots of protein, which is great because my leachie won't touch feeder insects.

[@chaliceflame1314]

Mine have never hung on after biting me.

[@isaacvokes666]

I don't think tokay geckos say TOE -KAY they probably say GO -AWAY

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

hahahahha!

[@chesneymigl4538]

They also have a different interpretation online. Also, called the "F you!" geckos

[@kathleenmcintoshclark8473]

I guess I’m super lucky, our leachie has never barked or even tried to bite. He’s about a year and a half maybe 2yo.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I hope that continues!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Thank you so much!

I had never thought about how small most geckos are

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

crazy right!

[@Chillz_gaming]

The reptile that started my love for reptiles in general was a crested gecko I still have today! I love geckos and have always wanted a chewie! I now have 2 leopard geckos and two cresties and they're rad! But aren't all geckos?! Great vid Adam!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I totally agree!

[@cannedcobras2893]

Tokay geckos are my end goal, I love the process of taming the animal down. I got to hold one at my local expo and fell in love immediately lol

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

They sure are cool!

adorable little things

[@chaliceflame1314]

One of my leachies' lunged at me when I was about to feed him and he made me drop the food on the floor. I do look where the leachies are before I clean the water bowls.

Hey man you said a leopard gecko should get 45 ish grams for females and 60 for males, I have a 74 gram female who is actually very very skinny and a healthy male who’s 95 grams, my female doesn’t wanna eat anything at all, previous owner mistreated them both so I’m trying to fix up the female, the male is pretty okay, what can I do to get her to eat?

Did a video of the big mixed species enclosure ever get made?

[@LoFiAxolotl]

Always important to remember... New Caledonia is still part of France and not an Island Nation, if you're from the EU getting there is super easy (very much not affordable though) and well worth it, it's a very unique experience

[@bkm2797]

Love the leachie gecko, at least the ones Brian has because they are chubby and I was told they feel like velvet. Otherwise the leopard gecko, really a nice size and lots of different morphs. Thanks Adam, another excellent mini class, always appreciated.🦎👍❤️

[@glenpurcell866]

As a ball python lover , a video idea: favourite ball python morphs 2024. Cool video, leopard gecko will be definitely in the collection one day when there is time and space 🙈🤣

[@elirevzen418]

I've had a crested gecko for many years and he's my bestie. He's grown very social and will come to the front of his cage when he hears me. So overall I'm pretty optimistic about my ability to "tame" geckos so I personally would love a leechie gecko some day

[@chaliceflame1314]

There are friendly leachies out there. I have tried to socialize mine and ended up with typical territorial leachie behaviors anyhow.

[@LizardGuy1023]

Leachies can weigh as much as a squirrel!

I got to hold two leachies at Animal Trax in Madison Al. I was so in awe. 🦎My garg would have been an appetizer for one of these! My favorite gecko species would be a gargoyle and a leopard gecko. I'd love a big carrot tail ,but plan to adopt a leo from Animal Trax who needs a home.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Thanks for a great video! I have several large species of gecko and enjoy each one. Though I fill say that Tokays are my favorite and I have yet to be bit. I say yet because it is bound to happen at some point. I really must thank 'The Tokay Whisperer' I have learned much from his videos.

sounds about right

[@lawrencehamilton7021]

Tokays can actually be really sweet and not hard to tame out as long as you get a captive bred baby and have patience with it bc they are highly intelligent for geckos, it blew my mind but so many people especially on Reddit play with their tokays like leopard geckos

[@reptiliancain32]

Yes Leachie for the win lol however my girl was sweet as pie, never cage aggressive UNTIL she got a bit bigger than the one in this video. Now she will bite anything that moves in her enclosure…. We’re working on it😅

I think the coolest gecko are Pygopodidae geckos. They are by far the most unique type of gecko and have by far the most outlandish body plan.

im looking to purchase my last snake and get one lizard down the road to complete a little collection of reptiles that i can manage,. so far my top contender (before doing research on any of them) is fiji banded. ive really debated leachies as their size is super impressive and shocking for a gecko. im also a huge fan of some of the skinks. once again, this could all change depending on care guides but i think fiji banded iguanas have my heart.

[@f.o.m.a8131]

Hey guys, I got a problem with my crested gecko. He is almost 3 years old now and I got him when he was about 6 months. Till the age of 2 and a half he was always very handleable and really liked my presence. But the last few months he suddenly became very skittish and is scared of me even while only opening the door to his bioactive enclosure. It is at the point now, that he sometimes takes of running and even jumps out of his enclosure. The humidity and heat in his terrarium seem fine and he is still maintaining a good weight and eats normal. Do you have any ideas what could cause this behaviour? I would love some suggestions on what to do to lower his stress level.
