Hey, I’ve got a question. So can I pick up my crestie when it’s sleeping? Or will it drop it’s tail? Also do you think that Saruman is a good name for a white Dalmatian?
@tmreptile10 ай бұрын
@@No0dl- You definitely can. I’ve done it before. I kind of treat them like snakes though tbh. Like a snake, I rub my hand along the gecko so they feel that you’re there, then I pick them up. I just do it to alert them and wake them up if they’re sleeping. But I’ve also picked them up out of a sleep and they’ve been just fine

also, i would have one suggestion. when it comes to tutorials and advice videos, i highly recommend first showing exactly what the title of video says. it was really wholesome to watch you feed the ducks or show baby cresties, but it's the addition to the video, not the main point people usually click on it. For me as a viewer it felt almost misleading when you sudenly started showing ducks feeding after the introduction about lizards XD would feel much better if the construction of the video was like, introduction, handling tutorial and then something 'anyway guys lemme show you my ducks, they're cool'. just a little suggestion tho, video was really helpful and nice to watch! i like your vibe, u seem like a cool dude to hang out with

I originally planned on getting a juvenile or even adult because babies seemed so hard to take care of, and yeah they can be challenging since im so worried id they're eating. But seeing you and others handling babies and raising them makes me feel more confident about getting them as babies and growing them right. I got mine as a three month old and he seems to be doing well. Its only been a couple of weeks but he seems happy. Temp, humidity, enclosure size are good and hes pooping so means hes eating. Only thing now is my dubias. I swear they don't seem to be eating. Maybe their enclosure is too big.
@tmreptile6 ай бұрын
I personally think growing them up is so fun. You get to see how they develop over time! Especially if you’re not breeding them and just keeping them as pets. That was my problem at first too! What are you feeding them? And what enclosure size are you using and how are you setting it up? I might be able to give some advice. I have 2 thriving colonies (I could probably break them into 5 or 6 colonies honestly lol)
@richardsanchez54446 ай бұрын
@@tmreptile ok so I have them currently in a black 7 gallon tote with a cover. I think I have plenty of air circulation. Drilled small holes all around and even a big square which I covered with wire mesh so I can put a ceramic heat emitter, and I keep it at 78 degrees. I have a paper towel substrate, egg cartons and a piece of paper plate which I put apple core, small bits off peeled baby carrots, banana slices, and I just bought sweet potatoes. When I first bought them, they gave them to me in a small like clear yogurt cup, and when I first put them in the tub I did see the swarm the food I have about 3 dozen tiny ones since my gecko is a baby. I mean I bought them like two or three weeks ago and they're still alive. Every once in a while I'll see them get close to the food.
@tmreptile6 ай бұрын
@@richardsanchez5444 It sounds like you’re doing everything right! You’re giving them a good diet, the enclosure sounds perfect for them. If you have little ones it may just be hard for you to see if they’re eating. Try giving them 1 small carrot or piece of carrot and see if they eat it. Or a piece of a dark leafy green. That’s what mine love the most. It should be somewhat easy for you to see if they ate off of it or not. If you want more/better breeding (in the future) I would suggest to bump the temp up a few degrees if possible. If you can’t do that with the ceramic heat emitter then I would use a heat pad (or heat tape) on a thermostat and attach it to the side of the tub (NOT the bottom). I have mine in the 80’s and they breed like CRAZY

I’ve had my boy Smaug for almost a decade, hasn’t dropped his tail but there have been close calls. I used to have him fairly tamed down but we moved five years ago. Due to my mental health declining and his tank being upstairs, outside of maintenance I didn’t handle him much and he’s now basically feral again- as he has been for some time. The only time he wants to be on my hand is if he suddenly decides he’s horny 🤦🏽♀️ So I’m wanting to try to get him tame again. Imma try the advice of handling him during the day. Very nice video. ♥️
