Doing my research before getting a gecko is a lot more fun than I expected

Was watching and did a double take when I saw my gecko, thank you for using my picture!

Why don’t you have more subscribers?? You actually take time and effort to put videos up for us to watch unlike some KZfaqrs who have thousands more subscribers! Ilysm!!💖💖💖💖❤️💚🧡💛

Thanks so much for this! I am thinking of getting a crested gecko! I am doing as much research as I can before I purchase! As you should always do! I am thinking of the name Nora for her! Thank you! Update: I got my Nora! She is a sweetheart ❤️

I have my crestie in a 12 by 12 by 18 in an artificial tank. But when i upgrade im Definetly going bioactive. Ive already starter a isopod colony for a clean up crew. Thanks again for the great video

Me wanting to make a natural terrarium. Also me being scared and confused jsjdhsj

I know that this video is not specifically for leopard geckos, but I want to say thank you for giving out so much information on the care of these reptiles. I got my Leo a few months ago, and thanks to your videos I’ve learned not to use sand, heat lamps, and how to properly give my gecko vitamins. Thank you so much! 🙂

My gecko Beans favourite thing is to sit on a big shell and watch out over her domain. She blends into her shell perfectly and she always starts her day sitting there watching the other animals and people for at least an hour before she decides everything is fine and goes about her business.

Thank you so much for this guide! I’ve been doing a lot of research trying to make sure when I get my crested gecko that it will have the best life I can possibly give it!

i just got my first crested gecko! thank you for this video, i have everything i need now. she’s eating some calcium dusted crickets right now, and seems happy.

i have two questions,how do you prevent mold, and how do you get a crested gecko to come to your hand,my crested gecko comes to the door but doesn't jump to my hand.

I cant wait. I'm going to get a crested gecko really soon. Love your videos!!!!

I made a beautiful popsicle stick house for my crestie. (He has a coconut and many other hides also). This little house is only like 5” wide and tall and I lined the inside with paper towels and filled any gaps with silicone so his toes wouldn’t get stuck anywhere. But he absolutely loves it more than anything else in his tank. Awesome diy 👌🏻

I have a male crested gecko in a 48 gallon tank, we recently upgraded it because Ross, my gecko, was 6 months old when I first got him. I’ve had him for 4 months, so he’s officially 10 months. He’s been doing perfect in his new tank. As of now I’ve had to keep his food bowls on the bottom, but am upgrading to a ledge soon. He has a sweet tooth for crickets, I’ll tell you that! The most he’s ate in a day is 9. I know they aren’t supposed to eat them much, for treats only, but I usually give him 15 a week, making sure he gets at least one a day. Your credits may not like criekcts much, but Ross loves them!! This video helped be a lot. I mean, a lot. You deserve more subs.

I have 2 crested geckos already and I'm still learning about things like appropriate light and heat and how to build a bioactive enclosure. Very informative, thanks for this!

7:41 Tip: use Mesh Canvas Sheets for Embroidery to separate balls and dirt. Way cheaper and firm to keep everything in place.

This has helped me a lot for my new crestie that I’m planning on getting this summer 😄 I’ve been saving up my money for months now and have been doing tons of research and watched your whole crested gecko playlist!

Hey, I really love your channel, you have helped me to understand what to get for my creative. Sadly he passed away yesterday and I don't know why, so I'm trying to do things better so it will never happen again. Thank you for the informative videos 💕

I've only wanted a gecko for about 3 days and I want a bioactive viv for him or her and I know to make the environment first make sure its thriving before introducing a gecko but your videos are so helpful I cant thank you enough! X

I am glad you recommended feeding them crickets. I got a crestie about 5 days ago and was feeding pangea since that is what the breeder told me to continue them on and that live insects were a no go. Then today I noticed my gecko running back and forth on the glass chasing crickets that were climbing in the screen cage of my chameleon. So I came here looking to see if it was safe to feed crickets; after seeing "yes", I went and dusted the smallest cricket I had and stuck it in the cage and the gecko dove from across the cage right onto the cricket. He loves them! Thank you for making his day. media.giphy.com/media/DpB9NBjny7jF1pd0yt2/giphy.gif

Thanks for using my picture! Really well made and informational video!!!

Thank you for making this! I'm looking in to possibly getting a crestie. I think they're so cute when they jump and I would have so much fun decorating their habitat.

my crestie Frank loves his coconut half. its a ground hide thats just a coconut cut in half with a small hole to use as an entrance but it was only $3 and he absolutely loves laying on top of it.

I definitely recommend hanging coconut hides! 2 of my 3 Crested Geckos have one and absolutely love them! The third would never use one and much prefers his snake plant 😆

I made a bioactive tank last year after seeing yours. Favourite and cheapest item is the coconut hide. I attached mine with a rawlplug to the cork rather than dangling from top . My crestie sleeps all day in it. Love your vids!

Geckos are so cool. Hope to make a home for one some day.

Im thinking of getting a crested gecko, your video's have been a huge help. Many thanks, you have a new subscriber.

A majority of the links dont work anymore but the onformation is very helpful!

I watched all your videos on leopard geckos when I was getting one and now im looking at crested geckos and I knew straight where to go

Getting my first crested this upcoming Friday and this definitely has helped me figure out what else I need

Love your videos! I just got a crestes gecko and your videos really helped me for setting up the terrarium 😊

Thanks for this. Going to be getting a Crested Gecko soon so you have given me some good advice and ideas for what I should get

Oh i do love your setup! I love the look of mother's in law tongue and zebra plants, but i can't find them anywhere! I need some new ones, as a few of my plants have died, so my tank looks very sparse! Haha

I love Stroodies Magnetic stuff

I have watched this video like 10 times already! 😂

Great video! My new Gargoyle will be very happy :)

Thank you so much for this video!! I'm getting a crestie next month and I just wanted to double check I've bought everything :)

HI I LOVE U SOOO MUCH IM SUBBED AND HAVE NOTIFACTIONS ON!!!!:)❤️❤️

Thank you. I just got a lepord gekco for the 1st time yesterday. I did a lot of research. I have learned lot thur your channel.

I just got a leapord gecko and now I need this one XD

Another video of research, I'm planning on getting a crested gecko and I want to know everything before I decide

Really great video! I really needed it as i might get a crested gecko for my birthday and i really want to provide it the best of enclousure/care as i can!❤️

Tysm for featuring me ❤️❤️

Hello love your channel and how educated you are in animals it’s inspiring

Love your videos! So informative! Cheers! And thank you for using my photo of my crestie :)

Hello! I was wondering if you HAVE to feed them crickets? Could you feed them something else like meal worms or something? Im a bit Squamish with crickets.

This is an excellent vid!

when i got my gecko there was this weird food- not pangia but it’s by zoomed called ‘crested gecko food’ and i don’t know if she likes it at all.. she does eat it though

Love this video! My male, Tyrion, loves his reptile hammock. I have an exo terra tank, so it's awkwardly set up on the door, but it holds him up (he's 9.5-10" and 72 grams!). I tried a natural tank and he tore apart all of the plants, so silk and artificial it is. I've never seen a crestie as big as him, (he's not fat at all, just massive).

I didn't buy it, but I made a coconut hide thanks to your tutorial.

I'm trying to improve my geckos tank but it's difficult as I just started to use coconut fiber but did not do this at first as she would try to eat everything he could get his hands on , he is also blind and has a deformity to the eye on one side im trying to get things so HD could climb more but the plants just keep falling off suction cups do

do you NEED live plants?

Hi, thanks for your time and videos. Diane Southampton U.K.

thats a 5 star hotel room for a gecko!

I have one question I have mulch on the ground is that ok?

Have you made one of these for leopard geckos?

Hey leopard gecko, just wanted to ask if it would be OK to put a heat mat on on side of the tank instead of a ceramic heater. This way they could switch between warm and cool when they like.

This is so helpful, because i want to help out my gecko! and get another one thank you!

I got one yesterday thank you for all the info❤

lol a channel called leopard gecko has videos about crested geckos I'm dead.But seriously this helped me because i am getting a crestie tommorow

The lighting is the only thing that confuses me. It's like hearing a different language and I just can't comprehend it. Do you have a video for lighting on crested geckos that goes in depth and can help me understand it better?

Quick question, when are u gonna make some more videos about leopard geckos? And if u make another one I have a suggestion, you should spoil them for a day ( like giving them like two wax worms and playing and holding them a lot and letting them explore ur room or outside) I hope you see this comment and if u do I LOVE YOUR GECKOS!!! 😍😍😍❤️

Don’t need an elevated feeding dish it can be on the bottom they generally feed on the bottom

I love ur videos so much

2:15 huh why did I get hungry when they showed this?

I have a 2 month old crested gecko and have done everything I need before trying to handle him. I have now handled him everyday for 2 weeks and he still hates my hand. I’m not asking for any tips on taming or handling, I just want to know HOW to PICK UP these small geckos without freaking them out! thx

I have a 20-gallon long tank that's just been sitting around. I'm going to convert it to a vertical terrarium using frogcube's conversion kit and neherpetoculture's complete bioactive kit. I have my ball-python in a planted setup and she loves in.

I’m boutta spoil my gecko haha!

MistKing is cheap enough, when your parents are paying for everything 😂

How often should I clean out my lizards cage?

I just got a 20 gal long and I sure it works good

6:36 how do i get my gecko this chonky thank you for all who have advice

I got a reptirain mister for my crested gecko and vailed chameleon and it is amazing for watering both tanks and I love it and it is fairly cheap

I’m watching this cause I might be getting one

Great video

Great video really love your content

Leachianus geckos cannot be housed together except with extreme caution, and only a bonded male/female pair which is rare. They will kill each other unless they are s bonded pair. Leachies need a much bigger tank, IMO, ideally they would be in at least a 50 gallon. They require more protein then cresties, and definitely more food.

My crested gecko is very odd lol. She only eats insects mainly a variety of worms and dubia roaches but refuses to eat crickets. She touches her fruit mix maybe like once a week and it's only a few licks at most. Also She soaks lmao humidity and temperature are correct but I have a bigger water dish in her enclosure and she sits in it for a few mins every night lmao

It's interesting younjusy out out this video because I'm thinking about bringing home the hatchling crestie that was idioticly shipped to my pet store. It's like 2" long and I know it won't receive the care a baby needs there.

Thanks!💓

I’m planning on getting a crested gecko a little after 37 days! I’m gonna name her Eda after the show “the owl house”

Hey guys, I need some help real quick with my Crestie. First off, my crested gecko is named Virgil, and she(or he) is about 3 months old. My sister surprised me with her back in early March from PetSmart(I know, not the best place to get a reptile, I was originally going to go to a Reptarium close by my house, but I would never say no to a surprise). Virgil eats like a pig, she eats the Pangea Banana & Papaya which is her favorite, and about once every month I feed her two small crickets that are gut-loaded of course. I spray her tank down two times a day, once in the morning, and once in the evening to keep the humidity up. The temperature in the tank goes from 71-78 degrees F throughout the day during the summer. Shes in a 12x12x18 tank right now, with plenty of hiding spaces and areas to climb. Now heres my problem. Crested geckos are meant to shed all at once, which Virgil did when I first got her perfectly. At the time I used a ceramic heat emitter because it was cold in March, which kept the temp at about 77-81degrees F, but I dont use it anymore because the temp in the tank will more than likely hit 85 degrees F, which is far too warm for a crested gecko. For the past couple of weeks, Virgils been having a lot of issues shedding, and its been really patchy, and flaky. It doesnt come off at once, and some is stuck on her. To help her get it off, what I found is that I can get a small container (with holes on the top so she can breathe), take a damp paper towel, spray the container lightly, and let your crested gecko sit in it for 20 minutes, then take a Q-tip to lightly brush it off, which I've done multiple times, but since shes so small, theres only so much I can do for her. Now Im just waiting it out, keeping an eye on her, hoping for the best. I hope if any of you guys have had any experiences with this can help me out, I just want my baby Virgil to be okay

More information than other videos

What is the difference between a fogger , dripper and a misting? Do they all help with the humidity ?

Can you use a heat mat on the back of the tank? I’m using a ceramic heat emitter right now but since I converted a 20 gal long into a crestie tank with a screen lid at the front with a door. The humidity is a problem. I’ve even put foil on the screen lid and it doesn’t help. I didn’t know if a heat mat would be better or not. Since the screen lid is in the front, that’s the only place I can put the CHE, and it is EXTREMELY inconvenient. Thanks!

I like the gecko

I didnt think you were supposed to use a fogger because it could cause respiratory issues for the Gecko. A misting system is the recommendation i have seen.

Hi love your videos

How big are the holes you drilled into the coconut and bamboo?

Thnx this is great vid helped a lot

I have a 18 x 18 x 24 in my shed that got donated to me but turns out I'm getting two grown sisters so I know I have to get a bigger tank (not sure how big) but deffo going bioactive @leopardsGeckos

Great advice i have everything for my 2 crested geckos and i just made there setup bioactive

Leaches are literally giant crested geckos

This is an offhand topic to the subject of the video, but, for Christmas my parents got me a leo. And ever since then, I have not been able to handle him. I've tried to handle him, watched your videos on it, and still can not. All I can do is just look at him. Please help.

I have two crested geckos ina 45 by45 by 45 glass terrarium they are 2 years old and they are still hatchling size they are eating Pangea as they will not eat any insects whatever I try they will not eat them does anyone know why they are still so small

Please could you do another video on how you keep your feeder insects? x

I need help I have a created gecko and I use eco earth but it grows fuzzy mold since I have to mist her tank down often I tried searching what substrate to use but I can’t find any good information

I’m only 13 and I have to buy everything for my gecko and these seemingly giant tanks are pricey so the max I will go is a 18” by 18” by 24” is that ok for a adult?

My crested geckos both seem to like to sleep on the bottom of their tanks. They have little reptile caves that they sleep in.

For everyone who is wondering th is would work for cresties, gargoyle, chuhuas, leaf tail, and baby and young gbn juveniles leachies
