What’s up frank ! Leaving my comment here, just because 😏👇🏻 This is a wild video & great footage & info ! & despite what others think…lizards are lizards & yes this is a natural behavior that is displayed when they think something is another critter. My Savannah monitor did this same exact thing… Alligator death rolls & all lol… with a goofy garden glove, that she always got ahold of & seemed to think it was another critter 🤣 it’s a natural behavior & something they would do in the wild. I think this was a great video ! 🦎🤙🏻

[@motatwo]

what is the minimum temp they can live in? i have an 8x8 grow tent for my highland carnivorous plants and i would want to have gecko or other reptile loose in the tent, but im not sure if they would be ok at night or it would be too cold, i have 90% humidity, 25c in day time and minimum of 12c at night...if its too cold, can they be ok with a heating rock? or are they smart enough that at night its too cold and go through a tunnel to another tent that is inside the big tent were the temp at night goes to minimum of 22c at night as it is my lowland grow tent.

[@Animalgirl-me7ku]

This is exactly why you shouldn’t cohabitate

[@Exquailibur]

especially not males, females it technically works a lot of the time but it really isnt worth it. If you are dead set on cohabitating do females only and way way more space, two girls in a 55 gallon would almost certainly be fine but ultimately the safest thing is to is just single. also a 55 is a ton of space for two geckos so the only time id even consider it is if the setup was really nice looking but at the point there are better reptiles for that setup.

[@Animalgirl-me7ku]

@@Exquailibur i’m so happy I found somebody that agrees with me on cohabiting that is exactly what I think

[@Azeathe]

⁠@@Exquailibur It’s only 15 gallons extra of the minimum, so I would not put two geckos in a 55 gallon, nor would I call it ‘lots of space’ for two. 40 gallons is the minimum for a leopard gecko, meaning you’d probably have to go up quite a tank size to accommodate two (which is a poor idea). Everything else you’ve said I agree with, though.

[@Exquailibur]

@@Azeathe the dimensions of a 55 vary, its about floor space not gallonage. the minimum for one gecko is somewhere between a 10 and a 20 long, if you put two geckos in a 40 tall you are an idiot. The layout and shape of the actual enclosure are far more important then how many gallons there are, a 40 tall would be worthless since geckos cant fly. Also space goes a lot further if there are more spaces to hide, if you have a huge 4x6 enclosure for your geckos but only 2 hides then the extra space does them almost no good. Building an enclosure is about understanding the animal and how the layout effects their behavior, the gallon based minimum is almost useless because I have seen geckos kept in a 20 tall but they were told 20 gallons is the right size so they think its fine. In my opinion 1ft x 2ft is the minimum size for one gecko but I would really push for more then that. The amount of hides is arguably far more important though. The 50 gallon low boy would fit 2 geckos easily, if it was set up right anyways

[@Azeathe]

@@Exquailibur By 40 gallons I mean at least a 36” long tank. 3 feet. That is considered minimum nowadays. Although a standard terrestrial 20 can work for babies/juveniles, it is very much pushing with adults and I would never put a fully grown adult in there. Minimums change as we begin to understand what their natural environment is *really* like (and thus what their husbandry requirements *actually* are). It’s like ball pythons’ standard changing from a 40-55 gallon (terrestrial tank) minimum, to needing a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft enclosure at minimum. Because we learned they exhibit semi-arboreal tendencies (through where they’ve been collected, and what has been found in their stomachs - ie, notable amounts of bats and birds alongside the expected rodents), do not sit in termite mounds at all, and are actually much more active than originally thought. It’s also like the standard of UTHs that accompanied ball python husbandry being pushed aside in favor of DHPs, halogen, and CHEs, because they heat the snake better than UTHs do (and are less dangerous when set up appropriately). 2 feet deep is not bad at all, but I would not put any adult gecko in a 12” long tank whatsoever for a whole variety of reasons beyond just space concerns for the gecko itself.

Had my Leo lock onto my finger like this a bit when i first got her. I would hand feed her wax worms, and she would get too excited going for them. Trained her to be more gentle by giving her as many worms as she could possibly eat each time, one by one, stopping immediately only whenever she nipped me and then id immediately return her to the cage and she wouldnt get any more worms or attention for 48hrs. Took about 6 months to fully train her like this. But she is 5½yrs old now and the most gentle and friendly girl. And she is SUPER careful when grabbing worms from peoples hands now. She will adjust her angle and even come in super slow and gentle to pull them from your fingers. I love her so much 🥰 Also was able to train her to do a few other things like perch on my shoulder to watch movies together and come to my hand when called. I dont think this would work with all leos. But mine is especially curious and is highly motivated by being able to leave her cage and "explore" Edit to add: shes also "trained" me lol. She lets me know if she wants attention by perching on a certain rock and splaying herself against the glass while watching me. And she tells me she needs more fresh water by laying in the water dish.

[@Volyren]

I'm not a reptile/amphibian person, but I'd assume the same tactic I use on opossums would work. You've seen them go alligator-mouth and hiss. All those teeth.... Just stick your bare finger in its mouth. Its super effective. Anger becomes confusion. It looks at you like "well.... damn... what now?" (Been my experience they are like chihuahuas. Even if they bite you, it doesn't do much.) But now, you're invincible. Just be nice, give'em some pats, and suddenly, it really, really likes you. And.... its not some heart energy or metaphysical babble that makes it work. Just logic. It bluffed its best bluff, it had zero effect, it accepted death, and got chin scratchies instead. So this thing is now friend. (Don't make pals with oppossums, though. That 9-12 month lifespan is brutal.)

[@ashleesmith580]

​@@Volyren As fun as your ideas sound, this trick only works if they're NOT reptilian. 😅 Most reptiles have a near-INSTANT like reaction sometimes. All it takes is a little movement and BOOM they've got whatever they THOUGHT it was. If you stick your finger in a reptiles mouth, you better have made peace with that finger beforehand, cause they'll fight you for it back. Unless, it's a snake.. then you mostly just get your finger back unscathed after a minute.. (Does not apply to venomous snakes). 😂 Even the slowest reptiles become lightning McQueen at mealtime.

[@Volyren]

@@ashleesmith580 the only reptile I had as a temporary pet was a turtle. I have a very weird, pacifist bobcat. And he brought the teenage non-mutant regular turtle in one day, and proceeded to snuggle it. The turtle didn't seem to mind, so I let it be. That was his buddy/baby. And if he was inside when I got up, we'd have breakfast together. Cheerios. (No milk for him) But he got too big for Uncle to pick up and eventually went off into the world to learn ninjutsu, as is natural.
