I liked and subscribed just for the gargoyles reference

You suggested feeding the mixture once every 2 days (fresh). When you feed insects, how many and does this replace the mixed food for the 2 days? or an add on?

Where is a good place to get gargoyle geckos??? 😅please let me know

So glad I found you! Thinking of getting a GG and would love to know how many crickets a baby, juvenile, and adult eat on top of the smoothie they eat?? And can they eat other insects besides stinky crickets

I’m setting up a bio active terrarium and getting it dialed in before I add anything more than isopods and spring tails. So I have this grow light (aquarium led light) inside the enclosure (it’s a vision cage). At the peek of the day (it ramps up and down) very close to the light it gets to 83F but at the bottom of the enclosure it never gets more than 75 and about 77-79 in the middle. So I understand a gradient like that lets them thermo modulate as they move to an ideal spot. But is it dangerous to have it at 82-83 anywhere inside? I turned the intensity down a bit hoping it will cool it a little more. But I wanted to see if I’m over thinking it.

Any input would be appreciated. Not sure if he mentioned this in the video but do you recommend UVB lights for them? I keep reading contradicting guides.

I was actually thinking gargoyle statue from hunchback of notre dame

How long does it take for a new gecko to get acclimated? I just got one and he's very shy and not very enthusiastic about food. He'll eat crickets if I dangle them in front of his face or lick diet of a skewer, but I've never seen him eat from his bowl. He also seems to like sleeping in the bottom on the substrate during the day... Not exactly sure about age, but he's about 1/3 to 1/2 of the size of a grownup. I think he's about 8 months old. Though judging by the trampled plants he's partying overnight :D Otherwise, temp gradient of 24 (bottom) - 28 (right under the light), 50 (day) -80 (night) % humidity. Also have a 5.0 UVB bulb that I turn on in the afternoon. Bioactive enclosure with substrate stuck to the walls - though I noticed he's been crumbling that off, so it's all over the plants now. I should have rinsed better...

Is there an explanation for why they fire up or down? Is it based on mood like chameleons?

What age/size would you consider a baby garg compared to a juvenile or adult?

Will losing 2 finger tips affect its movement or well-being? As my friend's Gargoyle Gecko loses some, and he's quite worried, hope you can help, much thanks!

does anyone know how much calcium and d3 they should be getting? if i feed insects once or twice a week and just dust them, along with the Pangea is that enough? (also wondering if i should use multivitamins)

Is a 10 gallon too big for the young gargoyle? I have recently got one, and he is in a 10 gallon, I don't think I have anything else besides the smaller cage usually meant for bugs. Should I move him or is he fine in the 10 gallon?

My gargoyle gecko loooovvvveeeessss climbing and jumping around. He hides during the day but at night he’s tearing that tank up 🤣 I hear him allllll night long making all sorts of noise.

I've wanted a gargoyle for a long time and done lots of research, the main thing I seem to see different opinions on is if heat is needed?

I did end up getting a gargoyle in the end and I've had mine for just over a year. In the summer my room gets fairly hot so I use things like ice packs, more misting etc to keep the temps down. In the winter I've been using more insulation around the outside of the tank and a heat mat. My room has been staying at a consistent 16-18c and the tank stays at 20-22c. Where my tank is located there isn't enough room above for a heat lamp but mine does have a uv bulb on a timer. I learned along the way and adjusted to my gargs needs along with plenty of online research. Best of luck with your gargy!@@SW-zt5mw

I just got a 6 month old a week ago. He is in a 29 gallon tank. I have plants and driftwood in the tank. I haven't noticed him eating. I was wondering if I should add a tube of cork bark to make him more comfortable in the tank? Could it be something else?

The first time I saw my male Garg fully fired down, I was scared, he is nice and red, brown, black but one day I looked in and he was almost fully white. I was worried I under misted him and he dried out, I mean I have seen him fired down but never like that.

I just rescued a gargoyle my friend was getting rid of, and I am realizing her care ideas...weren't the best. So i was wondering: how often should Gargoyles shed, and how many crickets should I put in a week? I have had him since Nov 3 2020, and so far have not seen him shed at all >

Hi! I recently adopted a baby gargoyle, not sure of the gender yet but I have a question about their sleeping habits. They seemed to acclimate quickly to their tank yesterday, (keeping them in an arboreal 5 gallon, juvenile weight of about 5-6 grams), and they slept out in the open for three hours a couple hours after I brought them home. They seem to have been active during the night, (normal for gargs), and I now cannot seem to find them with the flashlight on my phone. I know they are very good at hiding and are likely doing so from me, but their behavior does not entirely match yesterdays, so I was just wondering how long I could expect them to hide for? I have Repashy grubs & fruit out for them in an arboreal feeding bowl and I saw some scale peeling yesterday so I believe they are in the brink of a shed, so I added extra humidity because of that. Wet peat moss is on the bottom of their tank, just in case they need extra moisture but most of the bottom is covered by leaf litter. I have a hanging fake plant and a large piece of cork bark that stretches throughout the tank and provides and excellent hide, which I can just see behind by sticking my head around the side. Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much

@jxdynsbugs

2 жыл бұрын

as with any reptile they need several weeks to properly acclimate. we waited 3 weeks before handling ours to ensure she was comfortable, but some may take longer or shorter depending on your husbandry and just the gecko itself

@@jxdynsbugs thanks so much for the advice! I started handling him only a week in because he was already eating and pooping well. It has only taken him three days, and he is already as docile as most adults! He jumps and explores from hand to hand, and stops when there is not another hand in front of him. He is doing really well, overall. I did find him later that day behind a plant on the rock background, so he hides really well. But since then, he has begun sleeping repeatedly on the right side of a piece of cork bark, and is acclimating really well to the rest of his tank, has even taken to sleeping on the floor. He comes out when I turn the light of, just as nocturnals do, and I wait until then to handle him. I take him out on a piece of cork bark, and try not to handle him if isn’t on it that night. I have only had to skip one night, because I believe he was in shed and was reluctant to come out from behind the cork bark. Thanks again, if you have Instagram you can see some photos of him at instagram.com/therinsonofthedwarfkings?r=nametag therinsonofthedwarfkings

you can put the heat emitter over a screen section if your worried about the plastic. i’ve seen people measure out how large the heat emitter is and then make a screened hole slightly larger than that. you can keep the heat emitter hooked up to a thermostat (find plenty on amazon) and that will keep the temps where you want them for you regardless of your house temp

price is hard to say. they can be anywhere from $50 to over $1-2000. it all depends on the morph (color pattern/genetics) and age. if your town does exotic pet expos, research then vendors they host and find a reputable breeder. if not there’s a site called morph market, the sellers on there are typically trustworthy

@jxdynsbugs

i don’t provide heat overnight because as long as the room temperature doesn’t go below 60-65 they will be fine. with a large tank, how many gallons are you talking? you don’t want something too much bigger than an 18x18x24 for one adult. using a light emitting bulb can mess with their nocturnal clocks so i personally just use a chi and i connect it to a thermostat to regulate the temperatures
