About humidity, there should be a "dry out" period where you allow the humidity to drop between 40-60 (preferably 50's) during the day to avoid the humidity to being too high for long periods of time like he stated

My crested gecko almost escaped for good once. He was a 1.5 month old baby and I went to New York for a few days and left my gecko at home with my dad. Anyways, I get back home and he is gone from his tank. I look for any places he could escape and there was actually a little slot in between the exo terra screen top and the tank, where he could fit through if he wanted. I closed down the perimeter of his escape by assuming he was confined in one room. I made four little places for him on the cardinal points of the room which each contained pangea, water, and some plants. I found him the day after, extremely skinny, in one of my 'traps'. Afterwards, I plugged up the slots with some tissue paper and he never escaped since. Moral of the story is check on your gecko daily, even if you are on vacation ask the person taking care of your pet to send daily pics. Plug up even the smallest holes in your tank because crested geckos are escape artists. And in the event of a jailbreak, utilize the steps mentioned in the second paragraph. I hope this helps!

Personally, I believe that young crested geckos should be fed a diet of insects being tended more towards fruit as they grow older. I’ve only ever raised one crested gecko, so this is anecdotal evidence, but my crested gecko refused to eat anything but insects up until he hit ~20 grams. He reached 40g within a year, which is a much faster growth rate than a lot of people see!
@TikisGeckos
@TikisGeckos 6 жыл бұрын
You might be right! As long as the calcium intake is keeping up with the phosphorus of the insects I don't see why it would be bad. The thing is most breeders don't have the time or money to feed babies only insects.
@JTBReptiles
@JTBReptiles 6 жыл бұрын
TikisGeckos I suppose that could be a factor, although I would imagine that feeding holdbacks purely insects would save money in the long run (they’re ready to breed faster) and might result in larger offspring. Maybe you could try it out and publicise your findings!

I dont trust these gauges either. But when I spray the thing down... so it's kinda wetish... it says it goes up to 60-70. Sweet little thing. I love the feel of these guys. They feel like velvet!

Neon Shadow do you mean a bearded dragon, or a crested gecko? Because the bearded dragon needs a big tank and expensive lighting because they like the heat. A crested gecko needs a smaller tank but more vertical because they are arboreal and like to climb up. End it depends where you live. You could have lighting if it is warm enough but you do have to spray them once or twice a day to keep it moist. But you can look up more information for either one if you want. But for both of them you need the right care I did a lot of research on both of them but mostly because I love lizards.

I'll be putting sheet moss patches at the bottom of my tank and on the background, 1 for humidity, 2 for looks because moss is awesome, added bonus is it's like with humans, if you have crap stuck on your shoe, you walk through grass right? Well, it might help with the gecko too. Of course you still have to clean their feets if they don't stick anymore but it could be a little help inbetween. I have no actual facts to back that of course, how would you do that, but logically it makes sense.

Benedicta Agha it’s just the initial cost that is expensive, a couple hundred at least for a full set up with everything you need. After that, your Pangea/repashy will last a couple of months depending on how often and how much you feed. Crickets aren’t expensive and you don’t need to feed them often.

Crested geckos are very cheap to care for as they require no live food, no heat lamp and their powder food lasts a long time. It’s just the cost of the terrarium and actual gecko which might be an issue for you.

For the substratre you really only need to make sure the enclosure is clean and meets the temp and humidity requirements, If the substrate is clean then you don't need to change it. For breeding it's more about the weight than age. You shouldn't breed a female unless she is at least 35g and this usually takes 2 to 3 years to reach that size. Same for the males. They are physically ready to breed at a lot younger age but everything I have read in the breeding community says that the babies are much healthier when the breeding adults are at least 35g and the survival rate is higher. Also make sure you breed females and males of the relative same weight because the actual breeding is very aggressive. Also before you breed anything do much more reading and research! Hope this helps.

If you need to ask basic questions you shouldn't be getting ahead of yourself and thinking about breeding. Get the proper husbandry down first and make sure your geckos are healthy and thriving before you produce even more and don't know what you're doing. That's a recipe for disaster. Leave breeding to people who have done ample research, have husbandry down and know about genetics. If you don't know about basic care how are you going to handle genetics? You haven't even shown the will to put in the absolute minimal effort of a simple google search that would have answered your questions.

WolfiesAdore • the humidity should be around 70% except for the middle of the day which they should have a dryer period where the humidity is about 45/50%. So you could mist at night and a short misting in the morning as long as it meets your geckos requirements

18x18x24 should be the minimum for an adult anything smaller is WAY to small for an arboreal species...I hope you’re not keeping adults in what you’re suggesting. The humidity and heat are not hard at all in a larger enclosure. All you have to do is have your house at a normal temperature and mist.... I usually really like your videos but this is not good information.

Lets agree to disagree on this one Lisa. A single adult Crested Gecko can be kept in a 12x12x18 without a problem. When I spoke about the humidity and temperature in a larger enclosure being harder to maintain I was speaking for the baby geckos. It is much easier to control humidity and temps in a small plastic tub. cheers.

I actually have 2 observations, more so than actual questions. My crested geckos poo, is more of a watery( soft spatter) consistency than turd like. I mean I've seen both with him, I'm thinking that's normal, cause he's an adult and he's only eatten crickets once for me, he basically just eats his crested gecko diet. My new gargoyle( who'll be a year old in May,), eats crickets and crested gecko diet. His little poo is more turd like, even before I introduced the crickets. They both seem healthy to me. You had said in an earlier video that if the poo was watery they might have parasites or something. Sometimes my crestie poo is a mixture, perhaps it's urine and poo. Like when my Leo's do it.

How do I keep them warm in winter and cool in summer? I live in a place with extreme-ish weather (around ninety to one hundred in the summer and fifteen to twenty in the winter) we do have heating but our house is generally around 60-65 degrees in the winter. In the summer we have our house at whatever temp it is outside. I have an AC in my room but it’s kept in the low sixties. I guess I could set it to a higher temp, so I’m more worried about winter.
