As someone with a Chinese Cave Gecko, I’m glad to see the love they’re getting! They’re a little less handleable than a Leopard gecko or AFT, but they do start to tolerate handling after a little while. They’re also quite picky eaters, as evident by mine who refuses to eat anything but crickets. But he’s thriving nonetheless and almost always has a chunky belly I wish I could share pics of him on here because he’s a stunner. Any time I show people I pic of him, they’re instantly amazed by his red eyes and bright yellow bands. Easily one of my favourite reptiles I’ve ever seen, and I’m extremely lucky to own one

[@kitsune0rei]

I bet the longer they're in the hobby, the more their personality and diet will be ironed out better.

@@lieveheersbeestje099 I do have a cave gecko you don't see them too much. I recommend getting a motion activated camera if you want to see them just out and about. I can handle mine and he doesn't seem too upset by it, typically if I have him out for long he rests on my shoulder. Leopard geckos are definitely more friendly than cave geckos.

Just a suggestion to bump up the quality of your videos (which is already great): Seeing as the majority of the world uses normal units of measurements (Celcius for temp, metric for scale of cages, etc.,) maybe you could put up these measurements on the screen, even if you only talk in freedom units. Seeing as your videos are already pretty edited, I don't think it would be too much of an effort, and people around the world would know what you're talking about without having to translate all the units you mention :)

i love the variety of different morphs for crested geckos & the easy care. I have two baby ones 🤗 & they have long life spans 15-20 years, that’s another plus for me.

Nice one putting knob tails at the top, love them. maybe could've lumped the cave geckos in with the other eyelids you mentioned and made space for more mentions, paroedura genus maybe. i think chameleon geckos deserve a mention in the new caledonian gang. and bin p. grandis, klemmeri and a few other small day geckos are in another league. cracking video though

[@thesoundofstatic9474]

I know not a lot of people are massive fans of them but honestly I live for leachianus geckos! They're just such big floppy wrinkle boys and I dream of owning one! (Also I like having more sassy pets for some reason so an attitude is no problem to me) I have a crestie currently, could honestly just have a room of geckos tbh 😅

My leachie is sassy as all get out, but it really is part of her charm. Angry little dinosaur sock puppets- what's not to love?

We have 2 male Chinese Cave Geckos in separate enclosures. A forewarning to anyone looking to get these. You can go weeks without seeing them. They do NOT come out during the day at all. You have to wait until the room is completely dark and use a red light to go see them. They don't hide as much with the red light as they do with a white or blue light. We know they are ok when we see that they've eaten their food. Or you can set up a camera to see them at night. That's what we did the first couple of months.

Wrong info on Gonuirosaurus - they utilise height when offered it and you should definitely look into a 45cm cube as a minimum, you'll often find them upside down on the internal roof of any rock cave you give them and they are great climbers despite not having toe pads. If you put them in a larger enclosure and watch them at night you can see how active they are. If you want a similar gecko that doesn't need the height then a Coleonyx Elegans has very similar requirements, just add a litte more heat. They do climb but only to grab prey, C. Mitratus is also suitable

I agree day geckos are amazing, and yeah, good luck catching them if they escape, mine has escaped a few times but luckily he's developed a liking to me and knows who I am, it wasn't always like that though, when I had him as a baby he would just run away from me, but now that he's nearing 10 years old, he's developed a fondness of me and has a personality towards me as well vs other people, I wouldn't trade him for anything, he's been amazing.

I'd like to see you holding a Leopard Gecko in one hand and a good size adult Southwestern Banded Gecko in the other, if you can😏, talking about the differences and similarities. I say good size adult bandy because their bands break up into spots as they grow so the older ones look more leopard like and they move more like a cat. Plus the bigger they are the calmer. You could show the hatchlings too. It would also be cool to see a young adult bandy because it'd be more likely to freak out and squeak. Or not. Just some ideas.

[@kitsune0rei]

I think the knob-tailed gecko is one of my favorites for geckos. I didn't realize they were an Australian species, no wonder I don't see them often. They each have their own charm though. I think the cave gecko sounds great for more northern folks! Or I could keep it in the bedroom... the reptile room is quite warm, but the husband likes to keep the bedroom arctic.
