Pictus Gecko, The Best Pet Lizard?
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Pictus geckos (Paroedura pictus), also known as the ocelot gecko, the Madagascar ground gecko, and panther gecko really might be the best pet lizard. They are easy to house, easy to feed, and easy to handle. These are amazing pet geckos. The real question is simply whether or not the pictus gecko is the best pet lizard for you. So, is it?

Clint's Reptiles I have a leachie gecko and I’m wondering if I should use a heat source, my room is always around 18-20c but when I pick him up he is always quite cold. Do you need a humide hide with a leachie?

Probably just a humid enclosure. You can use a heat pad on a thermostat, but excessive heart can be dangerous for them.

"We're happy you pictus"-Clint's geckos
I believe I know why they became rare. Pictus geckos are from Madagascar. According to the owner of the Texas Reptile Zoo, Madagascar stopped exporting reptiles several years back, and when they resumed *only* exported CITES-listed species. This means that non-CITES Madagascar species, which were mostly wild-caught before the export moratorium, are now only available captive-bred, and since the non-CITES species are generally the ones which were less in demand (even though they include some really cool species like Malagasy iguanids, zonosaurs, and Malagasy hognose snakes), there weren't a lot of people breeding them. And for most of these species, there probably *still* aren't many people breeding them, because most people, sadly, just won't pay CBB prices for a pictus gecko or a zonosaur.

I don't think this is the case because they have been bred for a long time and are so easy to breed. They likely just fell out of popularity which happens to some species

I discovered and fell in love with these guys a few months ago. Finally got my hands on them at a local expo last month. Admittedly, I love my leopards more so far for personality and handleability, but I’m sure that’s down to the individual animal. The pictus sure win for bug-eyed cuteness!

We still watched it anyways 😂. We will probably watch it again . I can't count the times we have watched your videos about the scaly littles we have ! Bearded dragons , leopard geckos , uromastyx and blue tongued skinks . Clint we have a rescue leopard gecko , we don't know genetics . He is now 7 months old , 92 grams and 9 inches . Cheeto is gonna be huge . He is rad 👍.
6:15 they do climb suprisingly well when inclined to. My younger male even recently made it to the ceiling of his enclosure. Their pads are too small to walk up glass easily (except as babies, the babies can climb rediculously well) but there is a trick my geckos found out independently about climbing up in corners.
Clint, excellent video! I'm a bit of a Paroedura picta fanatic, raising hundreds and hundreds and I felt you were right on with the information, especially your comments on over breeding them. Very good. A couple of points- when they grow back their tails, while they are not turnip shaped like leos, they are stubby and do not appear like their original tails. Also, they DO benefit from UV light (like all animals). While they are nocturnal (look at those eyes! :) they are crepuscular also and some UVB lightings is a benefit. But excellent info!!!
Clint has better taste in content than KZread's algorithms! Love seeing the close up!
Just picked up my first pictus gecko at an expo this morning! She is so precious and I know I'll be getting more in the future... I'm already in love❤😂
I breed pictus geckos in Toronto Canada. I own some morphs, such as xanthic, anery, and a possible new one. Use a spoon to collect eggs. Very happy to see a great video about them. My big special male is 6.8 inch's. I have seen females climb glass. However I find only the young really climb. As far as I currently know, Madagascar has closed all flora and fuana exports. 90% of pictus on the market were wild caught.

Panther Gecko(pictus gecko) is very cool pet!! I’m breeding them, too. Very cute, and active :)
The hatchlings can climb the glass but when they get older they become too heavy
Tip that my mom told me: "Don't use a lid, use a plastic and put it on top, to make it stay, use a rubber band, and use a pen for that thing to breathe"
Looking closer!
Their big eyes and head remind me of sleestaks. So cool!
