    Leopard Gecko,
    Thank you for this video! I now know that I have access to a plethora of ethical leopard gecko breeders through Instagram/Facebook (and I don't have to drive 2 hours to go to a reptarium anymore).
    As a beginner gecko owner, your channel has helped tremendously to ensure the best quality of life for my precious animal, and I would like to thank you for all the time, effort, and research that goes into every video.
    love,
    a very appreciative fan

    Ethical breeding is so important and often overlooked, it's nice to see it slowly being more talked about

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  Před 2 lety +2

      Yes, definitely! We need quality over quantity for sure :) I know in the bearded dragon world more and more health issues are cropping up due to unethical breeding over the years, I just hope the leopard gecko world avoids that.

    Thank you so much for making content like this. You are saving so many leopard geckos by taking the time to make the content that you do. I can tell you put so much effort into your videos and I appreciate it. You introduced me to the reptile keeping hobby, and made sure that my Leo can live happily in his home. If he didn’t have a pea sized brain, I’m sure he’d thank you. Keep making content!!

    Hello, I really found this video to be very helpful
    I have a question though, literally all my baby geckos don’t eat unless I hand feed them and sometimes I have to hold them and feed them, I’ve noticed that not many breeders have been facing this issue, while I’m facing it with every new born, can someone give me an answer please 💔

    I need help, my leopard gecko got scared last night and a few cracks on his tail appeared. From what I can tell, he can’t move his tail past those cracks anymore. I’ve even tried to get him to drop his tail from that spot this morning (without causing too much stress or hurting him) but he won’t drop it. Any suggestions or ideas?

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  Před 2 lety

      It may be best to get it checked out my a vet, they can do an x-ray and sort of see what's going on down there and what's the next best move.

    I've heard people say that breeding store bought leos is a risk because they might have parasites or infections, is that true? 🤔

      Pet store breeding is not recommended you do not know the genetics of the pet.

    • @leopardgeckoslondon
      @leopardgeckoslondon Před 2 lety

      You can, but I would reccomend looking into the morphs and breeding as a whole before jumping into it. If you're unsure whether you can breed those two morphs together you likely have not done enough research. Start with GeckoBoas breeding guide and go from there. It also helps to have a mentor who is already a breeder to help you out. Best of luck!
