I always find it kinda fun because even though both crested geckos and leopard geckos are the most popular geckos, you’d expect people who keep multiple species to keep both of them, but more often than not, it seems like people who start the crested gecko route tend to also then have a lot of other new cal or at least arboreal geckos, while the people who have gone the leopard or even fat tail route, tend to stick mainly to terrestrial geckos. They’re all so amazing, so it’s funny how we all tend to fall in love with one side or the other and get so invested that we just kinda forget to branch out. Maybe because we like the idea of our second gecko having similar care to the first just to make it easier?

Just got my first one this weekend, I went to the expo to get a leopard gecko but the salesmen had these out and I fell in love so hard. Took him home, his eyes are so mesmerizing

That's just seriously insane.; the actual species itself and then all the variations. This was one cool video. Colorful little dudes.

I don’t think the video highlights it but the cutest part of them that NOONE ever talks about(I used to keep a trio back in 2004) when they hunt their pray they waggle their little knobby in a hypnotic way it’s so crazy to see

Awesome video as usual on a lizard that doesn't get highlighted enough

These are fascinating little geckos. I've personally never seen them before. So the tail works a bit like a camel's hump then storing nutrients? Yet again this reminds me how perfectly and ingeniously Nature equips animals for their environments. The first (dark) one looks like a mini crocodilian with its texture! I think that one must be my favourite for that reason. But gorgeous colour on that albino! Thanks Dav, I've learnt a lot of amazing new information here! xx 😊

I notice many online companies claim that with leopard geckos you need to provide a 90° Fahrenheit hotspot for them. I am questioning this because in the wild leopard geckos spend the day in a moist cooler microclimate and because they're nocturnal they emerge in a cool temperature nighttime desert temperature. If anyone out there knows the truth please reply.

This is so cool! I live n Australia so not all of the cool geckoes are legal here!

@ -DM Exotics just showed some in his newest video too. I guess California shops seem to have the black crickets instead of the brown ones. When I was in Texas during the Fall, there were literal oceans of black crickets moving across the landscape. Shops had sweepers manning the front doors. I guess they live longer than the brown ones do. But these two videos now have been the first I've seen them used as reptile food.

Questions. Can females be kept together? Do you keep babies together? Or do you need to keep all of them separate?

I love your videos, Dav. What beautiful creatures. It always makes me sad though to see people keeping reptiles in little plastic tubs, or in this case, drawers. What a sad life; surely breeders could do better by them.

Does anyone know why the tails grow that way? for example some geckos drop their tails to lose predators dropping the tail and hoping the predator goes for the tail thus letting the geck escape but these knobs well seem less appetizing to preds so then ??

I don't really understand why us humans think keeping animals in these tubs day and night is ok. It is quite dehumanizing. For our own fascination? I'm not even hating. Picture yourself in a long rectangular box everyday. You may not be mistreated... but seriously? I'm not against having them as pets, but having so many locked up in tubs like that is just effed up to me.

honestly the lack of enrichment in these tubs is the only thing i see wrong here. you wouldnt like being in a tub because you're a human, not a gecko. these geckos are not climbers or explorers, they generally stick to one small area in the wild and tubs give them plenty of room to move and hunt while keeping humidity and temperature easier to maintain which is safer for the geckos than a glass tank that holds barely any humidity and requires a heating element to be dangerously hot to even penetrate the bottom of the tank.

Yes. It is dehumanizing… because they’re not humans. What you’re doing is called humanizing… something that isn’t a human. They think it’s horrible that we walk outside in wide open spaces and get inside of large metal boxes that we make move extremely fast and often kill ourselves with. 🤷🏻‍♂️

why are leopard geckos so popular as pets if theyre officially nocturnal?

My enclosure is a 6x2x3 😂😂😂😂 Jk I don’t have one…. Yet.

Put something more mentally stimulating for ur geckos to live in bro, I know ur a breeder but thats just pathetic, put some more effort into keeping ur animals or don't bother keeping them.
