#CrestedGecko #DayInTheLife #Reptiles
When you said about hearing thuds it made me laugh. I have two crested gecko enclosures in my bedroom and once one of them woke me up, by jumping off her log lol. Their such fun pets.
I love them. I don't have one myself as I preferred a leopard gecko but maybe one day.
I hear mine making loud thuds too. One day when I watched my baby eating a cricket I understood whyđ it literally got is and smacked into the glass whilst getting it đ
It just jumps straight into the glass
Haha yeah, they sure love to jump around at night :')
one time i walked into the living room ( where my crestie's tank is ) and she was sitting upside down on the top screen defying gravity and that's about the 7th time I've seen her do that, crested geckos are so funny
What you said about them running very fast when they go on the floor, I can confirm! A while ago I got a baby crested gecko and I held him one time in the evening and he jumped off my hand, sprinted under my bed and started climbing up one of the legs of the bed frame at the back đł I was so scared I was going to lose him but in the end it was fine. I have only handled mine in the daytime since, because heâs much slower/sleepier, but still faster than Lyra lol.
Yeah it's crazy how quick they can be. Lyra once jumped off of my hand and just leaped across the floor i was like đłđłđł
her little eyes just looking at the camera just makes me happy and makes my day 200% better. thank you
Aww no problem :D
My leopard gecko is convinced he is a crestie. Always jumping around đ i handled him today and all he did was jump
My gecko does the same thing. The first time I held her she jumped onto my other hand. A couple weeks ago, she crawled on my hand and jumped onto my shoulder.
@@randomuser2212 last time I let my gecko on my shoulder ,she was climbing my arm and then she called into my shirt through the sleeve and it felt kind of weird but she just sat there with her head poking out of my sleeve and then she fell to sleep and it was adorable
@@justsomememingbigyoshiwith4832 awww
Ah crazy haha, the only time my geckos have jumped was when they were little and still getting used to me. Gizmo did it when she was a baby, I think I accidentally spooked her.
aaawwww thats so cute
I was thinking about getting a crested gecko soon! So this video helped a lot to know the reality of them! đŠđ
If you live in Southampton Britain then thereâs a really good reptile shop called Southampton reptile. Thatâs where I got my crestie and heâs super healthy. You can find their address and info on their website.
@@Jacob-ru2oj Thank you!
Jayda's Gecko Adventures! You are most certainly welcome.đ
You should get a baby, they're freaking adorable
@@nodyaj1252 I like the geckos without a tail I think their soooooo cute!
I have a feeling being quarantined for this last month I have been driving mine crazy, he prob canât wait for me to go to work
haha đ i think our cat feels the same lol
Last month ey
Lol I love cresties! It's so cute how their little toes curl up when they are about to jump. I have two cresties and they are always jumping onto the phone when I try to take a pic đ
Me too, I have had so many pictures where itâs blurry because of my crestie jumping onto the phone or the camera completely being covered by his body lol
@@avatarno1defender lol omg yes and then you have to turn the screen off because they keep opening things with their little toes đ
I have a vid of mine jumping on my phone and turning the brightness down accidentally, the screen just goes dark for a moment lol
@@kitastrophey hahaha that always happens to me but one time mine opened my Google Assistant and I was like oh no you open Google and Google was just like do you not find me a good assistant and I said no to my crested gecko and Google got all offended and wouldn't let me use her for a week
haha they love jumping at cameras đ
My crestie has decided that the best place to sleep is in the dirt lol
Ah how strange. Is the tank humid enough, and do you have enough hiding places up high?
@@leopardgeckotalk Yes and I do! And at night she loves to throw herself around the whole terrarium, so it seems like she's enjoying herself.
Mine is the same, he is also jumping around me while my two large dogs do their own thing in front of us đ€·đ»ââïž
Leopard Gecko is it possible the tank is too hot up top so it goes to the bottom to cool off ?
@@justyouraverageartist7331 she was "brooding" it was the beginning of what would have been breeding season and so she was preparing a cave!
I love owning my crested gecko I adopted mind three years ago and itâs been a joy every single day owning him I named him delta after the raptor from Jurassic World
Aww sweet :D Yeah they're such sweet pets :)
i named mine echo after one of the raptors!!!
Anyone still here who can help with an eye issue. Not sure why my cresties eyes look swollen and foggy
@@Liastreaming named mine Charlie! We just need a blue and we got the whole pack
my leopard gecko's name is Delta! :D
iâm so exited iâve been doing my research for SOO long and my mom said i can get one tomorrow
Yay been looking for a crested gecko! This can help!
No problem :D
omg last time I was this early my father was still here, also I love your videos I literally watch them everyday lol đđŠ
wow đđ thank you!
Thank you so much! I was really hoping you would make this video as I have a crestie. You are an amazing reptile CZcamsr and I love your videos! They are the most interesting and useful reptile videos I have seen. đđđ
Aw thank you so much :)
Iâm bout to get my first crested gecko and Iâve just been watching you and other people CZcams to figure out what I need
Awww this reminds me of back in junior high when my science teacher had 2 crested geckos- one male, and one female. My friends and I would visit the geckos every day after school. One was named Angela. She was my BABY. She would always hop over to me, climb on my arm, on my jacket, on my shoulders, and snuggle up against me. She died later that year. RIP Angela, my little scale-y baby.
I'm sorry for your loss
@@littlecharizard426 thank you đ
@@ribbitribbit0 Np. I understand what it's like to lose a pet. My dog died 2 years ago, and I miss her everyday. Maybe you can get a crested gecko of your own someday!
@@littlecharizard426 sorry you had to go through something similar :(. Loosing a pet is really rough...
@@ribbitribbit0 Yeah, ...
I was binging your videos for like 2 weeks prior to getting my crestie this past weekend - SO excited to go on this journey and have fun doing so. Absolutely love your channel and all the value you provide!!! SUPER amped for more videos from you in GENERAL. THANKS A TON.
I just got a lovely little baby crestie a week ago today, he is an amazing little animal, they are such amazing pets, especially if you are new to reptiles like me.
Baby cresties are so cute and so fast! You need to be careful when handling đ mine seems to run and jump onto my hair and if I get it off it always wants to go in my hair đ I don't know why.
Aww nice :) Yeah they make great pets :)
These videos always make my day anytime I watch them
aw im glad :D
I've been watching your channel for a good bit now and you have really inspired me to actually pay attention to my animals and encouraged me to make sure everything is right for my leopard gecko. I've had her sense I was nine and never really known the importance of the care they should receive. I love your channel and I thank you for everything you have done.
My Crested Gecko Atlas wakes up at 6pm every evening and he isn't bothered by me having my lamp on at all. He's active, loves to watch me and see what I'm up to. And he loves watching me play video games. lol He's a very inquisitive boy.
It's sad that mine isn't like that. The moment it sees me it runsđđ„ș.
GECKO: oof it's that annoying person trying to take me out again. I better run.đ”đđ€«
ME: stay it's fine I only want to pick u up.đ
GECKO: Nope (runs the fastest I've ever seen it into it's hide where I can't get it.)
ME: U just broke my heart đ
@@EZS248 Aw! So sorry to hear that. Keep working with your gecko and I'm sure they'll begin to trust you.
thank you so much for displaying my comment that made my day
No problem đ
This is really helpful, because I want a crested gecko for my birthday, and this is very informational and shows what it is actually like to have one of these as a pet. Thank you
Love ur crested gecko vids
YoungzZ I do too. I'm very happy with my leopard gecko but I've always wanted a crested gecko. I love their enclosure designs.
Thank you :D
I went bioactive on my cresty tank a few weeks ago. Cork bark and live plants look much better and genuinely nice to look at
That's awesome :) yeah I just feel like overall it looks so much better and the geckos seem happier :)
Leopard Gecko 100x happier, getting a pair of mourning geckos tipped me over the edge to change all my tanks to bioactive... took a while but worth it!
Lyra is such a sweetheart đ the wrinkly head though đ
Iâve had my boy Sparky for a year now, and he loves to climb on the roof of his vivarium and always makes strange metal noises in the night. He isnât the best at hunting, but heâs around over a year old, so heâs got a lot of practicing to do lol.
Heâll have a locust in front of him and just lick it until it hops away đ
Thanks :)
Haha Lyra is the same! She'll just randomly walk on the roof at night lol.
Sometimes I try to tong feed lyra, but yeah Cresties aren't always the most active hunters đ
Use newspaper to wipe the glass dry to avoid water marks đ It's a trick I use on my fish tanks
but you need the glass wet to raise humidity and so they can drink from it
I've always heard the ink in newspaper can be toxic to reptiles, so I would be a little worried doing that on a surface she drinks from. But thank you for the tip anyway :)
My baby had just discovered his coconut after 3 weeks and heâs obsessed with it đ on top, inside, on the side he just loves it
Hi love your videos and hope you ar doing good
Thank you :D
The videos you make are so perfect for someone getting into this
Completely unrelated to this vid, but I got a Leo a few weeks ago and your vids really helped with feeding and handling! Thanks!
I love your video! Your so kind to animals and humans! I want a house like yours with reptiles all over lol
Aww thank you :)
Just got my first crestie a week ago :) itâs a baby, any where between 4-5months old
These are my favorite animals of all time love these little guys.... looking to get one in July or june
Thanks for Showing this Video!! It helped me so Much with Papaya, im a New Crested Gecko Owner and had many Questions, this helped Answer most oh them!
Edit: Ive Looked so much things up and was ready for Papaya, i learned that your Never Ready to finally own your Dream pet- 1. Shes Very Noisy at night. 2. Shes a runner. but 3...Shes the BEST thing thats happened to me
Ok,who in the heck disliked! She is amazing and helps everyone with their lizards. I canât believe that anybody would not enjoy her vids!
haha thank you :)
absolutely love your videos!! I get so happy when I see a new crested gecko video:)
Go Lyra go! She's so cute, especially those jumpsđ„°
Yass đđ
Iâve gotten a crested gecko yesterday and she/he is so cute! I was holding her for one hour in the car then when I got home I put it in her enclosure and then I woke up early so I opened her enclosure to spray it down and she jumped at me lol đđđ
Awww :')
Loved this video. I've never thought much about crested geckos, but I could see these being a fun pet to own, especially with (responsible kids).
Also, I had the video on at 1.75x, and the music that plays during the nighttime recording, in addition to Lyra(sp?)... Hilarious.
Your bioactive tank stories and feeding made me set up the finest bio tank for a young cresty. She's very skittish but loves her house. I have got a bit obsessed with breeding isopods and it's kinda taken over the room! I cant seem to get her to take any live food (unless she nom's an isopod which is quite likely). I keep crickets to hand, but they so far haven't become her dinner and get too huge after a few weeks. If we werent in lockdown, Id give them away!
My gecko is skittish too. It's kind of sad. I have had her since October and she has put on like 10g since then. When she sees me she is like... oh no ur gonna take me out and she runs to her hide because she knows I won't get her out since I have to move everything to get there. It is painful. I have to quickly pick her up before she runs away
đ
It's weird how yours isn't eating crickets cause mine loves them and locusts. She charges at them and smacks straight into the glassđ€Ł. I once had to put her off live food as she wasn't eating her diet. đ€
@@EZS248 I suspect Freckle never was shown live food, and doesnt know what to do about it. Ive tried the tricks shown on this channel, but it didnt work. She might catch on eventually. If I get her out, she has a 'splat party' onto me and everything in the room if she can. I limt it to about 10 mins, then pop her back. I sometimes blob some food on her. She must eat something, otherwise she wouldnt now be 17g, up from 15g when I got her early this month.
Thank you for this I was considering getting a crestie
No problem :D
Thank you for showing me what a day is like with a crested gecko. I was thinking about getting one but luckily I saw this and realised how much they sleep.
who disliked the video really who did it she is just a kind young woman who knows and loves her geckos. She was the one who inspired me to get my little sweetheart Loki. Who ever did it should be ashamed and is uncaring. I'm doing a bio-active tank because of her inspiring me to do one. I don't want to see anymore dislikes on her videos ever again .
Aw thanks, it's okay, there are people who just click on my videos to dislike, but jokes on them because their interaction means more engagement on the video
my crestie LOVES LEAVES
Love ur channel
Nice Video!It really helps my reserach on cresties!
My creatie just got big enough to go into her final tank! Iâve had her since she was two months old and so small she had to live in a modified deli cup for a few weeks. Now that sheâs seven months sheâs really starting to grow more quickly and Iâm finally not scared of handling her lol. She really loves sleeping stuck to the glass upside down during the day
You are the best reptile CZcamsr ever! đđ If I ever need reptile information I know where to look đ
Thank you :D
Night fishinâ
My day as a crazy gecko's owner:
8am-9pm: where is he? Oh there you are... asleep.
9pm-11pm: where is he? Oh there you are, you're well hidden good job.
11pm-8am: goes crazy while I'm asleep.
Repeat.
Lmaoooooo same with me!
I'm an insomniac so haveing a pet that is awake at dawn and dusk is definitely up my alley
@KAYLEE CARTER same! Lmao
I have a uromastyx named jaba , they are diurnal, and I love her :) mabey you should consider getting one, they aren't too skittish, but be sure if you are handling one , be sure that you are close to the floor, and they can't drop their tail , they are like slightly larger leopard geckos , but just when it comes to handling
Aw I always see them in shops, I love that they change colour too. I think Jaba is the perfect name for a uro lol.
Getting a baby Is a lot of fun because they require only a small cage and are easy to care for and bond with. My baby Kai is tiny but healthy, and while he wont be grown for a good year or year and a half it will be worth it watching him grow
Awww yeah I was always a little worried about babies because they're sooo tiny. I saw one in the shop that was the size of my pinkie!
Great looking gecko. So subdued. Chill. You have a wonderful voice :)
I know you showed your chahoua in this video... but I think you should also do a day in the life of a chahoua! I love seeing yours and I personally find them adorable and cool!
Iâm so excited to get my crestie! Iâm building my tank right now as I did for my rankins dragon but it is so great that they only want to be handled at night because Iâm out most of the day and always up late haha
Please get a Gargoyle gecko next! Your videos are the best and the detail is amazing! Due to your wonderful and informative videos, my crestie Liam is a happy and healthy boy!
Thank you for this video! I also appreciated the cleaning video.
Mine takes less than a second to ready for a jump, so whenever someone other than me handles her itâs chaos, but I can see and feel her muscles tense and her locking in on a target to jump, a result of me having unnaturally quick reactions
I keep all my lights off in my apartment at night except my red string lights, and my cresty loooves them. the moment you look away she's bolted across the room and on the wall. they're such funky little creatures
Thank you! I'm (hopefully) getting one so this helped
They are so cute
Thanks :D
By big boy is living the life in his 29 gallon tank đđđ
Thankfully we have an RODI system, so I switched to that water and no longer get all the mineral buildup (if it bothers anyone, and you have access to that type of water)
Ah nice. I've read mixed things about whether RO water is good for the animal and/or the plants, so I've always been a bit iffy about it. But no watermarks would be amazing.
My crestie is either super chill or constantly sprinting everywhere. Sometimes we watch movies together though and thatâs always fun although one time he pooped on my laptop đđ
Me:see's a crested gecko video on leopard gecko channel
Me:BETRAYAL
Lmao
im thinking of getting a crestie and this helped a lot!
i have a crested gecko she is very cute shes a young juvenile i love your vids
aw sweet :) and thank you!
@@leopardgeckotalk your welcome your videos are super helpful
I'm so glad you showed that glass cleaner again because you talked about it before but I couldn't remember the video. I've had my gargoyle gecko for almost 6 months now and the glass is in need lol
I just use warm water and vinegar. It works really well lol. It's reptile safe too. I mean it's just water and vinegar
đ
@@EZS248 I've tried it just doesn't clean it as well as I'd like
Haha yeah it works quite well. I leave it on a little longer than they suggest but makes a difference :)
Should a starter cage for leopard gecko have live plants.
Love this video
this was cool to see! lila is super cute! i might be getting 2 cresties in 2 weeks! a boy and a girl :) im super exited!
A great natural way to clean water marks off of glass if you dont want to use cleaner is mature water and newspaper! Use the newspaper like a wipe. (Mature water is water left for a day which you should use for everything. Do not use tap water for an animal)
thanks for helping me with my leopard gecko uve helped me so much for the past year...in the beginning i used to watch ur channel so much that i think my gecko knos ur voice đ but i just wanted to thank you for all the help
Aw thank you! Happy to help :D I've actually heard that from a few people, that their gecko gets used to my voice too đ
Yay hi I love your channel
Great video
Ăgonfrans geckos Ă€r ninjasđđđ»
10/10 good lizard, good owner
Great video. I love it. I love my Cresti
I love crested geckos I might get one
What the used to say: weâre gonna have flying cars!
Now: *my crested gecko clicking subscribe on ur channel*
Thank you I am getting one for by birth day and I have 2leos this was helpful I love your vids btw thank you
Hey I know this probably wonât be seen but I was thinking of getting a created gecko and the thing is I work during the day and I have my room light off. So that would be ok for him? And then when I get home heâll probably still be sleeping and I can get him out and handle him at night time.
Such a busy body at night!
awesome video. Subscribed.
Just as an FYI, the place where I got my crested gecko from said if you use distilled water for spraying, it won't leave marks on the tank. I've had mine about a month and a half and so far, using distilled water hasn't left any marks.
My ghecko comes out every day soon as the light turns off and comes to sit ontop of his log and watches me sleep if I roll over on bed he jumps from his log onto the thermostat and wakes us up đ€Ł considering removing his tank from bedroom to living room lol
I have 3 crested geckos and 5 other of different species but I watched anyway because yours is so cute đ
Just curious, are your cresties housed together?
Fiona Shepley i have 2 juveniles housed together in 20 gallon,hexagon tank and I have a hatchling in a 10 gallon vertical tank.
Epoxy Makeup I strongly recommend separating the juveniles ASAP. Theyâre solitary animals and sharing an enclosure is stressful and risky for them. Each will need their own 18x18x24 or bigger when full grown. This is worth a read www.google.ca/amp/s/aminoapps.com/c/reptiles/amp/blog/crazy-cohabitation-crested-geckos/kw5Y_5GJtGu4jQrxY6Lk6mvRnNqV0X1g4XL
Mannn I canât wait to get my gecko đ„ș
This is so cool I just got two today for my birthday!!
Really?
Why at 3:47
Lol
Nice! Just wondering, are they housed together?
So cute.
I got a crestie last year and Iâm really struggling on getting the confidence to mine! Is there any tips you could give me on handling and getting confidence
The Zoologicals itâs healthy for it to be super active and jumpy (especially during dusk,dawn or night) and to get it more used to you try handling it for 15-30 mins everyday (itâs not necessary but certainly helps get it used to you and your voice.) đ
Thanks
The Zoologicals you are most certainly welcome. đ
if you guy's don't love this channel you weird {leopard gecko keep doing what you do
hi first to comment
Nope
my leo literally thinks heâs crested gecko, he loves climbing and he jumps to get places, like iâll hold him and then have another had a little away and he doesnât walk he hops
Your such a good person đ
Keep doing what you do. đâș
Thank you đđ
@@leopardgeckotalk Thank You đ
Loved the vid
1:05 the me vibing to the best music ever
Ad: Iâm about end this mans whole happiness
I just got a baby crested gecko a few days ago and Iâm loving your channel!
