UNREAL CHAHOUA GECKOS!

[@nataliesreptiles]

Had to rewatch this video after making friends with a chahoua gecko at a reptile show earlier this month. They may just be the next gecko on my wish list.

[@davidfity2802]

I’ve bought 2 Chahoua from Gekkonidazed because of this video and I freaking absolutely 10000000% love both of them 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@joshawagillis9966]

There goes my life saving I just got hard into gargoyle geckos now I need a pair of those in my collection lol

[@CephaloBooks]

Watching this video while my chahoua is hanging out on top of my head. Love these geckos

[@ScottyHunter]

Definitely love how the patterning on them looks like tree bark with mosses and lichens growing on it. Their natural camouflage is amazing! But I can also see why they are slow to take off in the pet trade - at least compared to Crested Geckos. The price tags on Chahouas is still pretty high up there, especially on the larger and more colorful specimens.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Me as well

[@mstalcup]

These are just beautiful! The patterns look like moss and lichen growing on trees. Although New Caledonia and New Zealand are very far apart on the map, both actually lie within the same huge continent, Zealandia, most of which is now submerged but wasn't always.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I've been to New Caledonia and hopefully soon, I'll tour New Zealand as well! Each is very unique!

[@sherrybrzeczka7966]

They were so cool! I love how they can just park themselves anywhere and defy gravity! Thanks for sharing with us!

Thanks Amanda!

[@amcgeckos]

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures your welcome, no problem.

[@theevildice83]

These prices are insane, I have a Chahoua in the UK, I paid £120 for it, or like $160-170. How have prices in the US gotten so ridiculous for these?

[@golisha5871]

10k? Wtf?

[@datboi6026]

It's perfectly normal to pay that much for Chahouas becauese they're worth it. I paid $19,244 for my latest one (really good deal) and I have seven of them. My first I paid $47,233.00 back in 2013 for one, then in 2017 I got a nice white collar for the first time for $34,000ish, and then later that year a bonded pair of white collar high green Pine Islands for $119,244.00 (that's a reasonable price for two at this condition) and then just last year I finally purchased a very very high end Pine Island white collar high red and green base super morph for $279,144 at a repticon around holidays. I've already bred them and have produced six babies so far that I've sold for $115,000 each (some on MorphMarket and some in person California). It's not what I normally sell babies for though, normally I'd sell for only $65,000 - $75,000 but that's changed since I have better morphs these days. I'd say over the years I've made 4.7m dollars or so and spent 2.5m on Chahouas. I'm currently looking at one online for $726,000 axanthic with high black coloration and am considering getting that one but I need to buy a house for my in laws so who knows. If they end up finding a place in San Francisco maybe I'll help but I'm only willing to pay up to $5,000,000 in down payment on their house because I really need to focus on my business as is. So if I get the Axanthic I'll start selling babies once I get axanthic morphs regularly and they'll go for minimum $300k

We just got our first geckos yesterday. We got a juvenile Chahoua and a juvenile Crested. I’m glad that you have covered these. Thank you.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Nice!

12 seconds ago. Another good morning with Däv!

[@norman1111]

Who in the world is just gonna casually fork out $7500-$10000 for a gecko 😂

[@Sarah_RDG]

Breeders, who then breed those animals to make more $7500 quality animals. It's an investment!

Beautiful gecko's, the colors are awesome, i currently have a Abronia cuetzpali, love your channel.

[@crestiez7825]

Perfect timing! I was just looking for videos about these guys cuz I’m very interested. Do you think $500 for a baby is a good deal? A reptile shop near me sells them

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Yes but buy from a breeder like these guys. You'll be helping a small business, they know all about the animals they sell and they will help you for as long as you have your gecko

[@dresreptiliansandarachnids6589]

Really awesome

[@Twangtown7]

Where in WI is this located? Good stuff!

[@ejdet.feeney9020]

That’s a pet quality that is Deff a sweet as well as very nice pattern if I was into breeding I would put that into breeding projects but I am not just looking for one for a pet

[@elsreptilesandmore1686]

Are Luciana geckos good for beginners. Sorry if I spelled that wrong lol

[@tylerniday8935]

Should be noted there is a big difference in price between a hatchling and an adult.

[@dm2836]

I want one so badly, I would be so happy with just a normal color 😭

[@lizardodelaroux5863]

So are mainland usually cheaper? I got mine for $330.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

They can be, yes. All depends on the breed and the breeder.

[@jeffreynosa9542]

For anyone knowledgeable in the chahoua, is there such thing as a white collar mainland chahoua? I know of white collar pine isle chahoua.

[@creel-starr]

So it's a crested & leachianus mix? Eyelashes that aren't so dominant, colors between the 2, and size between the 2.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Sort of. Same family.

[@kinzycat11]

Definitely a different species, but cresteds and chahoua can hybridize and produce sterile offspring.

Good call!

[@ayyylma0]

Breeders in the US charging $7500+ for a chahoua need a reality check. Can get similar geckos for $500 in Europe. edit: it's also pronounced KA-houa

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

It all depends on availability and demand

[@ayyylma0]

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Plenty of EU breeders will ship overnight to US. Whether that's ethical is another video. edit: Also whether they'd want to knowing they might breed the same geckos and mark them up x10.

[@xmwxmorris]

Yeah that’s a little high. I’m in Illinois right next to this guy and I bought a chahoua for $350 last year. You can find the same chahouas as this guy on morphmarket for under $4K....

The big thing to be aware of: There is no genetic proof of Jalou. We have a few people who say they have them and that Graham B has tested them and proven their uniquely different. He has already come out saying he's never tested any. Kyle is an amazing breeder and really helpful! Highly recommend Gekkonidazed! #RattleOn

[@fazercraig9652]

They are massively over priced in america i just bought one from a reputable pet shop here in England for £175 ($225) lol

[@dynosoarusrex]

For The Most Part

[@dandobrowolski5818]

7000 bucks for a gecko is insane.

[@MooseWillard]

Why are they so expensive, you can get them for like $400-$1,500, Ik a local breeder that sells nicer ones for $900.

[@Dreadnok_K6]

The longer time to breeding maturity, smaller total number of clutches, and less succesful hatch rate compared to leopards and cresteds, plus less breeders comparatively, lends to the higher prices. Not to mention they're probably the coolest of the NC Geckos.

[@marcgould8922]

Why are they so expensive over here in uk there £100 babies £200 adults 🤔

I often wonder how many people pay these price tags for the animal but cut corners when spending on the housing. I’d rather own a base level animal but spend on the perfect enclosure. But that’s just me

[@StLMikie]

Will the females lay from parthenogenesis like some others will?

It's possible but not likely

$7,000 for a gecko? One that looks like moss? One you can breed in a $75 enclosure on a 2x4 shelf? Sounds like a hustle, you should work for Combover Caligula's administration.

[@brandonmurphy1725]

Just because you can charge in the thousands, doesn't mean you have too... people are just to greedy 🙄

[@samstapleton3739]

Who the heck is going to spend $1,700 on a gecko I'd rather buy by several enclosures and get several geckos for that

[@nataliesreptiles]

Same reason some people would pay $1700 for a ball python. Depending on genetics and/or how difficult certain types are to breed, it bumps the price tag up because all that effort creates value for that animal.

[@robertblackmore4919]

Eh. These and leeches are overrated and to pricey. Zero reason to pay that much sorry. Just wait til he market is watered down. Especially when care is essentially the same as gargs and crested.

[@tayah1669]

I feel like they’ll just keep gettin my more expensive tbh crested geckos and gargoyles were cheaper like 3 years ago
