I love the dedication and enthusiasm with this kind of line breeding! It is so easy to chase circles with cresties with them been quick yield to turn over animals, so it is nice to see that some breeders put in the years to create amazing healthy line bred beauties like this! Good luck Ryan and thank you, one Dave to another Dav for a brill catch up!
5:02 those green crested are rly cool i prefer them green then full black when they are fired up, if they had more dalmatian would be even cooler to me
Great video! I love seeing and learning about new/different morphs, they are so fascinating to me because of how beautiful they are. What gorgeous geckos!
Very cool to see a follow-up on these! Ryan seems like a fun guy, you play well off each other. I really like the babies with the dark bodies and bright patterned tails!
Wow, your assistant is thinking she is obsessed with that dark morph!! Very very nice, I love how the head is lighter and how the eyes look like they are going to pop out!!! Very very beautiful!! Speaking of eyes, yours are looking pretty good, are they green??? 🤗😅......🤟rattle on 😉.......🐍🐊🐢🦎💗
That's so cool....I have a crested gecko that looks just like this one...almost to alike...but mine goes from a grey-brown to a light mint green to lavender...
@@craig4135 that’s great. My relationship with mine has improved since lockdown and I’ve been able to spend more time with her. She’ll eat from my hand and hop on to my hand in the enclosure but as soon as I then take that hand out the enclosure she’s jumping everywhere. You can often another hand for her to jump to but she’d rather jump on your face, the wall, anywhere else lol. I did pick the most skittish of the babies available when I got her though so I think it’s partly just her personality. It would be nice if I could handle her a little more but I have other reptiles I can handle so I’m happy to work at her pace. I just don’t like it that she’s stressed when I have to relocate her for cleaning.
I have to say I actually like the looks of this morph better than the charcoal or exanthic 😲 Absolutely beautiful geckos! So happy he was able to prove them out 🙂
@@danielwi2001 oh, sorry, I was under the impression that they drop their tails when they’re scared or stressed, but I don’t know much about CG. I was actually commenting on how lovely & healthy his geckos look. You can see in the vid how they are so gently & respectfully handled- they have little fear of the humans & the breeder has rapport with each one- that is what stood out to me.
So Dav I kept and bred herps for over 20 years but never bred babies back to parents, is that not kinda asking for trouble down the line, seems like sending a new morph up the river without a paddle.........
It's a shame they were not 'fired up'. I checked out the pics on IG and they are awesome. Again, this looks like a 'trait' and not a morph (line bred). Right?
If anyone knows someone that has done a video like this I would love to know the name, but I'd love to see a video from one of these really experienced breeders explaining how to breed/how people do breed their own morhps. I know avoiding inbreeding is important when possible but I know he mentioned in-line breeding so really seeing how people go about making their own morphs would be super interesting!!
I’m such a big fan and have been watching ur vids for so long! I am really interested in your work and I one day want to be like you. I’m starting off small with a crestie but I just wanted to let you know that I really love your work! Shout out to my Alfredo (my crestie)
Kind of. I have a few f2 wild caught that are super dark. They fire black like these, however they are more olive fired up. These tend to be almost yellow fired down. I think a more apt name for them would be line, rather than morph, as I feel this will need to be dark to dark to produce more, so gains easily lost rather than poly-genic where one of these to anything will produce x. but I think Ryan is doing great and will def love to get one one day😊
Dav Ive been breeding geckos with these colors and structure for years. just sold all mine super cheap, less than 200 a piece. Makes me sad to see this video. Esp since no one at shows finds these attractive lol i kept the best specimens to breed later on.
Really disappointed with the adult enclosure. Far too small for an adult crested gecko. Looked like it had FTS too. Should be in an EXO twice that size. I've bred hundreds of cresties and the parents always get large enclosures. Typical breeder getting carried away with quantity rather than quality.
@@danielwi2001 it can be prevented by providing lots of climbing surfaces, hides and accessories that cresties can use to hide and move around on. FTS is common when a crestie lies face down on the side of a glass terrarium and their tail flops down. It can be prevented by giving them a space to use where their tail can curl around something. Saying that a crestie doesn't need to have muscles and full use of its tail is so narrow minded. A crestie has the right to the best care and husbandry. Allowing it to develop FTS because of your ignorance not add simple furniture is abhorrent. They deserve our full respect and care if we're going to breed them to make money.
@@Rjdahlen breeding hundreds of cresties gains you experience. As well as keeping reptiles for well over 20 years. It's not about dick swinging. It's about doing what's right for the animal you care for. Without sounding too animal rights this is the equivalent of keeping a great Dane in a small apartment/ flat. It's unfair and ignorant. How can you claim to love your animals when you subject them to the most minimalist conditions. I fully understand babies being in RUBs as they're going to be sold on. However breeding adults should deserve your full respect. Animal welfare should be the paramount.
"Reptiles are more resilient to [inbreeding] genetically" - what is the scientific basis for this self serving proclamation??? Can we get a fact check?
Hi there! You can find studies dating back a while via books.google, however author Jerry G Wells wrote for Reptiles magazine in 2011 answering a similar question and writes that inbreeding in reptiles is actually very common. "The fear of harmful results from inbreeding is generally exaggerated, coming more from a few misunderstood problems in human genetics." I would also recommend reading into how far certain reptiles travel for breeding vs others. The results may prove to be very insightful!
@@Rjdahlen Thanks Ryan, I looked up the article in question and did not see any science, just an assertion from a breeder who performs the practice. Additionally he calls out culling offspring as a necessary consequence of the practice. Do you consider breeding when you know you will have to cull some portion of the inbreds ethical, or indicative of a healthy, natural reproductive strategy? On the contrary, researching actual scientific publications (not herpetoculture mags written by breeders) gives the opposite perspective regarding the effects of inbreeding depression on endangered lizards.
@@Rjdahlen Can you please explain specifically what these "misunderstood problems" are and what is misunderstood about them? Inbreeding is known to adversely affect many many animals besides humans. On a related note, at the Oaks PA reptile show today, I saw a whole table full of gargs with kinked tails and spines which I thought was curious, since this species is not known for MBD. After reading Jerry's brief comments on the matter, I realize they are likely inbreds!
I love the dedication and enthusiasm with this kind of line breeding! It is so easy to chase circles with cresties with them been quick yield to turn over animals, so it is nice to see that some breeders put in the years to create amazing healthy line bred beauties like this!

Right on! Thanks for watching

They don’t tell you ‘til you’re old enough to Know. I admire your enthusiasm.
Dark phantom. 😂
We hatched our first clutch of babies in November. I just love cresties. That darker line is absolutely fantastic! ❤️
Awesome! Congrats!

Thank you so much 😀
Very cool morph!
Dāv with the hidden gems great video
Thanks!
what a gorgeous animal🦎
Stunning. His cresties are so calm. Mine is a little mentalist
I got lucky. Mine are more like dogs than lizards. But I spend ALOT of time with them and have raised them since they were hatchlings
@@craig4135 that’s great. My relationship with mine has improved since lockdown and I’ve been able to spend more time with her.

Thank you!!
I love crestie so much! I have a tri-color extreme Harley of my own, but these guys are just... Wow! So beautiful! I can't wait to see more of them!
(Alternate name for this line: "dark bodied" or even "light headed" cresties :D
A great video and Amazing colors breeders get
They’re so beautiful!
Dave I strongly recommend to watch “How to train your dragon”!
I can't tell if he's legitimately never heard of it..or he's joking.
@@technoraptor7778 he was definitely joking.

Congratulations dav you just got 100k subscribers!🎉 🍾
Thank you!

Thank you so much 😀
Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I love the dark line!
I have to say I actually like the looks of this morph better than the charcoal or exanthic 😲 Absolutely beautiful geckos! So happy he was able to prove them out 🙂
Thanks Dav your body of work is Tamazing 🙏
Thank you! I appreciate that!
I love the new morphs
are Crested Gecko good starter for beginners
They certainly can be. Just research all you can before you get your little guy
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures all i will been looking research place to read about them before get my little guy
Every one of his geckos 🦎 still have their tails! 🤩 amazing💗 really beautiful animals!
A testament to what an amazing keeper he is.
that means really nothing

I don’t get it... how is this different from charcoal?

Congrats on 100k man!!
You deserve it and more
Thank you!
Great video
Thanks!
Never knew you went to Armstrong!! So did I! I knew I liked your content for a reason. Go Falcons!
I did, but graduated from Highview.
The darks look really nice.
Your channel is great. Clint is pushing your channel trying to help you out. So just wanted to tell you Clint says 🙋♂️ hi
Thank you! I talked to him last night and thanked him for that :)
Looks like altitude exotics charcoal line. Cool good video
Congrats on 100k subscribers!😀👏🎉👍🏼🎆 Great video as always. Keep ‘em comin:)
Never fired up lol oh dav the luck continues!
Everything is in shed when I'm there, not fired up...I can't get a break sometimes lol
I have several geckos from Ryan. Great guy to deal with.
VERY COOL!
Your So close to 100k🙏
Gorgeous
Maybe an axanthic/dark line mix can be called a Graphite!
I like the way you think!
The solid dark grayish black color is just beautiful like a really smooth pencil gradient..and it sounds like a sleek name.
Just wait until we work with our axanthic, Lilly White, and Wild Caught lines 😎
I doubt you have any of those lol
@@sakofinnbear5654 sure seems like someone hasn't seen ANY of our videos or social media 😆
You just got a new subscriber 😊
I would love a lilly white! Maybe later this year!
Yesss
Part of the first 100k!!
Looks like a more melanin rich wildtype to a charcoal shade
I‘d love to get a hand on one of these male charcoal morphs.. but those are nowhere in Europe :(
It's a shame they were not 'fired up'. I checked out the pics on IG and they are awesome. Again, this looks like a 'trait' and not a morph (line bred). Right?
Correct. The one did fire up at the end
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Nice. Glad you actually saw one fire up. Sooooo tough
Hey wally
@@frankdughtank8327 Heeeeeey
Eventually they decided to work with us!
Love the name
Cool how the big female matches the colour of his t shirt .
I looked for the info to check out his geckos but couldn't find it..
It's in the video description :)
This will sound like a lame question where is the video description?
click on the > shaped button next to the titel of the video right side...

Alfredo is a really coolm crestie name 👍
@@danielwi2001 thank you so much! I named him/her that because I’m a big foodie lol
he stole it, what you gonna do about it? ah haaaa. how many times can you say "fired up"
Isn't this pretty similar to the wild type?
Kind of. I have a few f2 wild caught that are super dark. They fire black like these, however they are more olive fired up. These tend to be almost yellow fired down.

I am one of the few can say from experience that they are not :)
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures im jealous 😂😂
Remind me a lot of buckskins
they are awesome 👍
That's what I thought with the first generation too!
Hi dav
Hi Hannah
Just looks like a weird charcoal morph to me
It would be cool if someone decided to breed crested geckos that don't have a tendency to drop off tail
It’s hard to breed out a survival instinct. They drop their tails if they sense their lives are in danger or if they are stuck.
or they just dont like the thunder ...
Clint sent me to subscribe..I do what Clint says.
So do I. I'm afraid of him. lol. Welcome to the channel!
@Dav Kaufman is a Master at Click Bait, but I watch anyways. I always support Reptile Bigfoot. RATTLE ON!

Now I missed something... is it line bread or an actual pundit square genetics?
#RattleOn
Thanks Lance! It is a line-bred trait so it'll getting better with more pairings.
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures wicked man
You gotta go watch How to Train Your Dragon immediately
I have. Repeatedly :)
A dark crested gecko feels somewhat counterintuitive.
Why do you think that?
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures just because the standard form of the species is lighter and you subconsciously expect that.
Fill us in + bring us up to date = fill us up to date
Oh sure. Easy for you to say :)

That's a bummer :(
I sold a female like that a few weeks ago for 115 ...
It’s Friday. You ain’t got no job......
That's a line bred trait, not a morph....
I don’t see anything special about it

I've bred hundreds of cresties and the parents always get large enclosures. Typical breeder getting carried away with quantity rather than quality.
FTS is no issue,its just the disfunction of the tail muscels... can happen in any size enclosure
So breeding hundreds of cresties dictates expertise?
@@Rjdahlen definitely not...
