This is one of the most exciting videos I've ever watched! Abronias are by far, my favorite lizards! I love reptiles and saw a huge display tank with 3 or 4 abronias at the huston zoo, and immediately fell in love! I can't get over how stunning they are! I really hope they become more readily available in the future! Congrats on successfully producing your first mini alligators! Lol

Wow! Congratulations!!! What an incredible experience and I’m really looking forward to watching those 3 precious babies thrive and grow. Well done!🦎❤️🦎

That has to be such a rewarding feeling, I'm glad you got your babies.

“Maybe she’s just fat” The Abronia: 🧍🏽‍♀️

This is my dream pet, I'm keeping a close watch on captive bred sales over the next few years!

Congratulations!! Saw you on snake discovery!! Loved you guys! So here I am! A subscriber 😁

I cannot get over how excited I am that you had success 😳 I had a few of them a few years back that I fostered for a friend while they were away for a year and I fell in love. I’ve been up late at night like a zombie finding myself having the fever wanting to get a few pairs for myself. This video finally did it . 🤗 I’m going for it .

This is SO exciting! Congratulations!

The kinda look like itty bitty Argentine tegus haha adorable! Congrats, this is so cool ✨

Congratulations Tyler. I am happy for you.

Awesome!! you did it!!

Congrats. They are so beautiful ❤

Awesome man!!

This is so awesome!! I adore abronias. Also your hair color totally reminds me of them here haha :D

Snake discovery calls them a clutter when their reptiles give birth

Beautiful babies! Congrats, that was no easy feat. Are you planning on keeping them or selling them?

I’m going to keep them and potentially do bloodline swaps with others who have bred them successfully 🙂

Hey Tyler! Your abronias are adorable ^_^

Okay can you now figure out how to breed Peter's banded skinks?? 🤣🤣 Honestly though I'm so stoked for you and hope all the little ones grow up big and strong!

Yayyyy!

i would love to see a video on how you recommend selling the animals you breed. i want to breed my mexican black kingsnake but have no clue how i would sell the babies

I would think because its reptile it would still be referred to as a clutch

neat

U know owning reptile and amphibian is good for them because if we didn't own them we wouldn't have these amazing reptile we own be the people that think thay need to stay in the wilderness is the people makeing lasy ack and American competet act we all need to stop ✋ this because it will make these great youtube to Lose what they love to do shout to all these amazing reptile amphibian kritter keepers you guys rock I look up too all you guys not just one but all of you keep doing what you do and keep inspiring people to owning reptile love you guys reptile amphibian knitter keepers. 💞

💚💚

Love the abronias and love from india

Tyler hold on. Your voice has gotten deeper since the last video I have watched you in. It's been awhile since I've seen your videos. I've been washing other video since my bad. But your voice has seriously gotten deeper. I'm not used to that LOL. Plus you're growing a little bit of facial hair. It looks good.

Rename this series “saving an endangered species” for ultimate clickbait! 😂

Is a reptile litter a “clutch?”

@tylerrugge

Жыл бұрын

A clutch would be correct when referring to eggs. But I think if it’s live birth it’s a litter technically 😆

Is it possible that they/the male ate some of babies?

Off topic but I have a huge KZread crush on you 😭

Please forgive my ignorance bc I'm new to the reptile hobby and I'm wondering if they can reproduce with their off spring or siblings? Or does that cause issues?

They definitely can, but it is not recommended to directly inbreed unless you are working with some of the last of the species in order to save them, or trying to prove out a trait/potential morph. Other than that, there are not many reasons why one would need to breed parents to offspring or offspring to each other.

I'll help the keep my exotic pets I am a KZreadr like you and I will stop in to nothing keep our all of our pets together

Eeeee

1:39, also genetic diversity. That is very important, crested geckos need it, they are very inbred and the founding captive population was very small to begin with.

The awesome thing about crested geckos and many crested gecko breeders is the diligence in lineage tracking. We have several of our geckos that we can trace back 4 generations, nearly to the very first geckos that were brought over from New Caledonia! With diligent lineage tracking, we can avoid breeding animals that are from closely related lines as much as possible. Thankfully there hasn’t been too many genetic issues that have popped up as a result of small gene pool besides the polydactyl trait and lilly white neurological issue (when incubated too hot, it seems. Potentially not a result of small gene pool) I haven’t seen many other animal species where breeders track or care so much about the lineage of them. It really sets crested geckos apart, and it’s part of the reason I love working with them so much.

@@MaddieSmith I see this a lot in crested gecko groups. Even with a small founding population, the geckos remain is superb health. The breeders of the crested gecko community are more sane and intelligent when it comes to breeding(compared to lots of fish and animal breeders 🤷‍♂️). They even spite those that are just breeding low quality animals for breeding, which is nice since the community is regulating their own breeding ethics to improve the hobby.

Bro :) do you any male you can sell me :) i been looking for boy

Why is this a talking head video, I wasn’t hoping for baby footage!

If you are going to breed, study genetics, and how to use pedigrees and then come to KZread, you are just pet owner not a breeder.

There is no way to have a pedigree on an endangered wild caught animal ??? We have extensive lineage that goes back several generations on most of our crested gecko breeders though 🙂

I think I've heard someone (maybe @SnakeDiscovery ?) call them "clutter". Mixing litter + clutch. Congrats!
