Hey, love the video it's very informative :). One question tho: do you also need to heat the hot side off the terrarium to 32 celsius at night?
Hi guys, love the video! full of good info. I was the person who produced the first ever albino, amels and tangerine Fat Tail Geckos in the mid nineties. I also produced from a Melanistic which throw out the "white sock" morph so I am so happy to see that morph still going. You probably never heard of me, I ran a shop with my brother called DnJ Reptiles in NY. Again love the video so I thought you would like some history.. Thank you.
Good vid.. Just got an aft and love seeing more people's gettng into them
. She a rescue and now i know she a wild with a stripe so thanks
13Fayt13 That’s great to hear, I am glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck with your new Fat Tail😊
Oh look, a furry
Tristan Simpson I know ew
This is a fantastic video, thank you so much for making it. I'm going to be getting an AFT in the coming months, it'll be my first step into the reptile world and I really appreciate all the information you laid out here.
Great video! Fat tails are our favorites
Thank you very much :)

Pleasure : )
Thank you ive had mine for 11 years now she's doing amazing thank you so much!! Ive had a bad set up for her thank you
Wow 11 years, that is great! Well done :)
I’m really thinking of investing and welcoming one to my family! How would you recommend to maintain humidity in their enclosures?
Hi there! Thats a good idea! All you will need to do is have a hide box that has damp moss in it and that will be perfect for their humidity, thanks!
So adorable
Thay are so beautiful
Awesome video sir!
Arne Hobbs Thank you very much😊🙏🏻

Toni-Lee Taylor remember to do lots of research!
5:55 - 5:57 lol so cute haha
What humidity do you use for the incubation of the AFT eggs?
Sorry I have trouble hearing @9:38 what is it a mix of again? Oreo and? Thank you!
White out
I hear a lot about breeding multiple females with one male. But would it still be fine if there was just one female and one male, obviously there will be less eggs but just wondering?
Hi Liam yes that won't be a problem at all. As long as you can separate your male from the female. If you can see your female is looking tired, has bite marks on her neck or is looking a bit thin after laying a few clutches it is then important to separate him so she can recover.
Ultimate Exotics Reptiles Ok Thanks a lot!
while they do not need special lighting, AFT's with uvb tend to look healthier
They are nocturnal and do not need uvb. uvb can even be harmful
@@davidferguson8183 there crepuscular, not nocturnal. uvb is not harmfull its good as they would experience it for a few hours a day in the wild
@@all-in-onevideos4657 my Aftg hates bright light so do others and the reason they look "healthier" is because of the lighting and if nots needed why waste money on something that the gecko will hate and its not benificial
@@davidferguson8183 the reason they look healthier is not because of just the light its because of the vitamin d that they would get in the wild because of the sun, the reason that your aft hates bright light is because in the wild they would try to avoid the sun yet they would still go out at morning and dusk because those are the times when the sun is slightly less bright, so the reason for your aft hating light is because a uvb bulb does not start out weak it just goes from no light to what the sun would be like in the middle of the day
@@davidferguson8183 and it is beneficial because they get vitamin d from. if you really don't want a uvb bulb then make sure that you supplement with vitamin d3 because they would get that from the sun in the wild an without it they will be a lot more prone to illnesses
Can you breed to whiteouts together, I heard you can’t just wanna be sure.
Mines full solid off yellow white what morph do you think he is
Mine choked on moss 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for this video! I have a male whiteout and a female striped Oreo het Zulu. Will this make a good combination? What morphs will it have?
I’ve had one for a while he’s amazing but he won’t eat mealworms only crickets
Yes they are amazing, we also have some that won't eat mealworms and only eat crickets. I think its an AFT thing : )
Can u cross breed fat tail and lep
Do you sell them
Hey can I use a CHE light instead of the light that came with my gecko tank, for my FTG ? I want to keep the heat up at night and obviously I can’t keep the light on at night
Hi Carlie, yes you can no problem, just keep a close eye on the temps as those CHEs can get very hot and you might need to put it one a temperature controller. Thanks :)
is it okey to feed them dubia cockroach?
Hi there, yes that is no problem : )
@@UltimateExoticsReptiles all right, thanks man! 👍
You said a whiteout to whiteout is lethal? Meaning the babies won't fertilize in the egg, or as in the babies will come out normal and not whiteout?
Hi Joshua. Apparently the Super Whiteout is lethal, so if you get a super Whiteout in the egg then the developing embryo dies before it makes full term, thanks!
@@UltimateExoticsReptiles great to know! I am very new to leopard gecko and fat tailed gecko genetics. I am trying to absorb all of the knowledge I can. Thanks for the video and quick reply :)
@@joshuapowers5590 Awesome, best of luck! Its a pleasure : )
Hi ultimate exotics. It me again ethan. Love your videos. Just wont to know do you still sell breeding racks?
Hi Ethan. Thanks man, glad you enjoying them, we do not build racks ourselves but we can put you in touch with the right people contact me on reptiles@ultimateexotics.co.za. Thanks
@@UltimateExoticsReptiles should i send a email or contact you on the website ultimate exotics?
@@ethanbannink5754 either or :)
@@UltimateExoticsReptiles yes
@@UltimateExoticsReptiles does ultimate exotics have a whatsapp nummber? Because i have forgotten my Email address.wish i can com and visit you.love you leopard geckos too i bought a normal 2 months ago and the shipping was grate and your service is also grate.
What are the adult weights or range of weights depending on sex. There are plenty for leopard geckos ( ex. Adult male 70 to 80 grams , adult female ..... Sub adult ... Baby ... Ect. ) i juat adopted a female fat rescue and she is 21 grams . what age would you guess she is ? What weight should i shoot for or watch for to indicate an adult size. I have giant and partial giant leopard geckos and she just seems so teeny tiny compared to them lol.
Awesome combos to the UE Team! What is ment by the term 'leathel' in the co-dom gene?
Thanks Kai! It means that if you breed a Whiteout morph to a Whiteout morph the super form of this morph dies in the egg.
@@UltimateExoticsReptiles Thanks so much, clarifies it for me. 👍
Can someone tell me, where I can find dem in Germany? I want to have 3 of them and want little baby Geckos.. but I can’t find any of them in the internet...... can someone pls pls help me
Mara Bam are you going to keep all three together? If so, you should probably get separate setups for each of them. And a good place to look for reptiles is morph market! That’s where I found the breeder I got my AFT gecko, just make sure to research the breeders!
Have you observed these guys in the wild?
My son and I have been doing quite a lot of research on these amazing reptiles. How can we go about getting one. Is there a shop in the Western Cape that sells them?
Go to a reptile expon
Can females be housed together?
Hi there, yes no problem as long as the enclosure is big enough you can house multiple females together. Thanks
@@UltimateExoticsReptiles Oh okay thanks. I'm thinking about getting some instead of leopard geckos.
@@THEE.apples Pleasure, I think that is a good idea :)
please don´t recommend permanently keeping reptiles in shoe boxes. this is awful
555th like
FAT TAIL I want it
Carter Behrns make sure to do lots of research!
These guys are from semi desert areas. Why the hell do people house them in tropical setups!?!?? I think people keep them a bit too humid, maybe the humidity should be higher around the morning and evening, but not all day. Maybe a savannah setup should be good for them.
