Hey! Your geckos are amazingly cute❤. I have a question: I have a baby gecko (2 months) and he is eating his food during the day, but never all of his worms at the same time.I noticed she/ he usually eats one worm in the morning, and then all of the rest during the day. During evening he/ she doesn’t seem interested in food, but it’s however very active during evenings and nights and actually started to bond with me. He actually loved being handled and loves laying his belly on my hand. He’s been eating daily. Is it normal for geckos to eat during a whole day and not at a specific time? Should I make some changes like making a schedule? I think he was used to being left with his food all day.
Also I wanted to mention that even tho he eats during the day, he also rests a lot. He sleeps all day till sun goes down and I shut his lamp off. The he goes out like a frenzy and roams around his enclosure.
Mine did too when I first got her - need to work very slowly with them. The "how to tame your leopard gecko" video tips do work. Just need to go very very slow and don't rush it. After doing this with mine she seems to enjoy coming out and spending time out of her tank.
If it is a baby, then that happens. They have to get used to you and realize that you aren't gonna gobble them up. I started getting Sahyu used to me by putting my hand in her tank for a bit once she settled in. Better to get them used to it when they are little and their bites are just cute.
Same thing for one of my Leopard Geckos. If they are young: Then they're either stressed out, new to environment, scared, or overly dominant, or overly aggressive. If they are old: Then they're stressed, scared, or overly aggressive. Plus, be patient with your Gecko, it takes time to build a bond with him or her.
also i really need to get a front opening cage. but im poor... and for handling, i have let children "hold" my gecko. i always tell them "be as still as possible, he will tickle, so let me know". but i've only done it, like, twice
i have two loud dogs. Personally i found my prey animals (two rabbits and two geckos) after a few weeks of having them. They don’t even react to the dogs barks anymore or even loud noises. They used to hide whenever they barked and now they just sit there and continue whatever they are doing
My gecko loves me! Ever since I've been hand feeding him and helping him remove shedded skin, I think he trusts me a lot. He's always excited to get out of the tank so he always climbs my hand everytime I put it in there. I have had him for about a month now.
That's cool, I just got mine a few days ago but he is already a year old. I think the previous owners may not have handled him too much since they rehomed him due to lack of time. He's in good shape though, good weight, no stuck shed, no missing toes. They really loved the little dude and were happy to give him to me knowing I'd take good care of him, although I must say I can't match the enclosure size they had him in. It was a 4x3 ft tank! Like holy cow! I spent over 300 bucks on my setup but it's only a 20 gal. He'll move to a 55 eventually when my finances are better again but a 4x3 is insane! I've decked what I do have for him out as best I could. I mean in the end, he has what he needs. I'd just like to give him much more of course. In time. But yeah, I hope in a months time he'll be comfortable enough to be held just like yours, that would be amazing. I'm taking it super slow because I'm afraid to give him a negative experience. He's really giving me mixed signals. On one hand when I stick my hand in right in front of him, he doesn't mind, he'll even come up and lick it or sniff or calmly stroll by and curl his tail around my finger but if I try to stroke his side carefully with 1 finger he always squints and backs up like he's annoyed. So I only try that maybe once a day while he's active and out and seems to not be minding my hand being there but I don't want to push him. It's really odd though. On one hand I think he wants the attention and on the other he doesn't. Meh
@@pewpewcat7679 actually 20 gal is perfect for a single gecko indefinitely, if your tank is too big they could end up getting lost and unable to find their way back to their warm hide
I followed all of these rules and my gecko crawls out every evening to greet me and crawls in my hand now. That's after only 2 weeks of having it! I really lucked out with her personality but watching these videos helped me be a more confident and informed first time gecko owner. This woman is awesome! Thank you!
autumn well yes science can prove it and I realize this is a very old comment but they do lack the part of the Brain to be able to love but they can trust
Emma Grace SAME!!!! just walks right of the ledge ........ I’m so thankful for my frenchie (AKA the reptile whisperer)... he is constantly worried about her falling and he softly nudges him back up or catches her fall....my gecko loves him... as i’m typing this she says not to allow them around dogs...... but he has a beautiful relationship with my beardy and snake too, over two years. i
I think I've gotten my gecko as tame as possible. He had a pretty hard first 3 years under someone else's care. He was being co habited with another gecko that bullies him and one day a cat broke in and ate the other gecko. He was also fairly neglected. But now he's chunky and happy.
Yikes. I don't get how people would not use a metal top and clips on a leopard enclosure if there's a chance a cat might get into it. A dog on the other hand shouldn't even be allowed in the same room without supervision. That sucks
Thank you for mentioning the thing about petting. A lot of people don't realize the arching of the back or flattening body is a stress sign in geckos (and other lizards). They typically don't like stroking- there are exceptions of course but it is my very common. I find mine is really only content with very soft petting right where her neck meets her shoulders, most geckos seem ok with this. But strokes are definitely a no.
My gecko loves being put on my shoulder. especially when i have a hoodie on and he can hide in it. I noticed he likes when i have my hair down and he can hide in my hair. He gets stuck and its difficult to get him out though lol
Imagine what a better world this would be if people showed this must interest in others peace, happiness, and respect regarding care as well as personal space. Love Leopard Geckos.
No guys sadly it hasnt worked. One of my guineas died of cancer and it shocked me and my mum. Weve lost pets begore but they were ones we hadnt had for very long. We both agreed that getting a pet that lived 20 years was a pet we wld get very attatched to. And i dont want to bury another one of my babies.
THANK YOU!! i’ve gotten a leopard gecko from a family member years ago and she wasn’t treated the best by them so she doesn’t like humans too much. BUT, she’s actually starting to warm up to me!!
Me: *sitting up in bed with my leopard gecko and had read earlier that leopard geckos prefer the ground over heights* My gecko: *climbs up the outside of owner's shirt, up the side of the neck and onto her head twice in one day*
My little dude and I have a "dinner noise" so he knows whether to expect bugs or attention when I open his enclosure. It's a huge help when I have a house sitter feed him, too. I figure geckos are good enough at recognizing your voice and scent that it's more practical to identify situations.
I just wanted to thank you for always giving amazing advice for raising healthy and happy leopard geckos! I got my first gecko two weeks ago, and we already have began to bond and become comfortable. I got a lavender mack snow and he is around 6 months old. I watched nearly every one of your care/tip videos before I got him, and I'm so glad I did! Remy (my leo's name) is very happy in his new environment thanks to your help. Today was the first day in the actual handling process in taming him and he did extremely well! I'm already in love with my leo, thank you for all of your help!
i got one 3 days ago & suprisingly she came out to eat on the first day with me plus 1 other person in the room watching…i definitely make the same noise & call her name & i was happy that i was able to draw her out 2 times from doing that…but i waited until around 8 pm because thats when she wakes up to eat & sleeps alll day loll ❤
My gecko *loves* my dogs. He's literally completely amazed by them, he follows them around in his enclosure so he can still watch my dog, Rosie chase her tail. The weirdest thing though is he has no reaction to her barking, she doesn't bark at him. But she has been in my room and has barked at the TV but he doesn't budge. He absolutely loves her lol idk why
when i handle my gecko i do do a clicking sound and pick her up carefully. However my hands tend to get cold so i let her crawl on my chest and neck ans she just hangs out there the entire time.
To make a long story short I went from zero leopard geckos to FOUR over night and while I’ve done thorough research your videos have been a HUGE help! I already had a crested gecko so your videos for them have been great too. Just wanted to say thanks for making videos 😁
My boyfriend has one. She never showed herself. But then I started to feed her and give her water. I always talk to animals... And everytime i filled her water bowl or just opened her enclosure, she came to me! She even walks on my hand. My boyfriend was very surprised! So my little gecko girl and I are friends i guess! I love her! 🤗💕
My leopard gecko just used to ignore me before. But I started hand feeding him, and now he comes out of his hide every time he hears my voice. Even if it's his nap time
As soon as I got my leopard gecko he loved everyone and wanted to be held. Idk why I’m watching this lol. I think I was just blessed with the best one lol
My gecko Joy doesn't like it when I stroke under her chin so I stroke her back, but! For those people who have geckos like mine, if they start to arch their back when you touch the back, or they try to flatten down just pull your hand away, please
Lillian Lunt So I got a leo about a year ago I adopted her and she had the starting of mbd but I have been taking very good care of her, I was wondering why it’s not a good thing to pet them on their backs? She seems to enjoy it and she doesn’t like run away from it, but I was just wondering why you think it’s not the greatest idea? I get that they are all different just curious
I'm a new gecko owner. And lemme just say: mine has lots of personality!! She's pretty young at the moment, but she's so intelligent! I do keep her in my room and I am partially homeschooled. While I don't make loud noises, I am in my room constantly doing schoolwork, but she seems fine with it. When I come in the room and sit on my bed, she comes out of her hide and sleeps on top of it which I think is kinda cute. Idk if that's a bad sign or not. I love your videos, thank you so much for your help!!
I have absolutely RUINED my gecko with hand feeding. I feed him, and he just stands there looking at me like, "hey man, watcha doing? You gonna get me out again?" He gets handled every evening. And he LOVES when I rub his back.
Don’t know if it’s just me, I watched tons of videos before I got my gecko. Then now after he’s tamed and he’s my best friend I still watch them to make sure I remembered and learned the information correctly. My gecko is so good, I love him. Thank you for all the advice I’ve learned.
I unintentionally made a sound for my leos everytime id feed them id pick up the bug with tongs and theyd get calcium powder on them so id click the tongs to get the powder off and id do it each time id put down a bug...well now they like the sound of the metal tongs clicking together😭💀
Great video, love the editing 🤙 Last night I think I had a bonding moment with my gecko, he bit my finger and then just stared at me like "Yo, you aren't food, bring out the worms!"
One of my geckos favorite things to do when handling is what i like to call “ treadmill” she just goes in a straight line walking from my hand to my other hand, and I just keep moving my hands back in front of the other when she steps off of it
So this helped because I have a dog and when she wags her tail it means she’s happy but with leopard geckos it means he or her is stressed thanks because I’m gonna be getting a leopard gecko and I have done lots of research but your videos really help thx 😁😁
The part where you said "if you own larger lizards you could accidentally handle your Leo too rough..." or something like that...that is 100% TRUE....I own larger sized lizards, and I was actually too afraid to even pick up my leo simply because he was so small. I was terrified that I would accidentally crush him or squeeze him too tight or something. I actually didn't handle him at all for a while...It made me so sad I wanted a relationship with him like I had will all of my other animals. He also wasn't very chill either. So I moved his entire enclosure into my office and even though I never really handled him, he could always see me. It was a while but eventually I started watching you tube videos on handling you leopard gecko. So I tried it like twice just placing my hand in his enclosure and the 2nd time he just came right up to me. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be as he really doesn't do much out his enclosure except chill, so I don't really worry about him running off or anything. We are cool now. But I honestly used to be so afraid of hurting him that I couldn't really enjoy the experience...But it turned out great in the end!
yeah this is cool n all and I've used these tactics for the past two years but now I'm just positive my gecko is devil spawn. I love her to death. its just...devil spawn
I got a leopard gecko a couple of weeks ago her names echo but ive never had one before but hsve always loved geckos! Because ive been around reptiles my whole life mostly snakes and iguanas etc i didnt know how to hold them properly or anything so your vids have helped. She seems happy and is very active and likes to be held so thank you!!!
I just realized how much things I've been doing wrong! My gecko is 8 years old and I've had him since 15th of April 2018 from now on i'll follow these tips
Hello my name is lexi I've been watching you for almost a year and I now have had my lizard for almost a year I became obsessed with lizards when I first started watching you I was very uneducated but now have learned so much from you I would just like to give you a big thank you
A lot of the time, I'm always nervous to pick up my leopard gecko, Sketch. I've picked him up before, but I've just gotten a sudden fear. I don't know how to deal with it. I try to ignore my fear, but I can't. I'm always scared i'll be bitten, even though I know leopard gecko bites don't really hurt much. How can I deal with this fear?
Other than keep trying, I don't really know. Possibly try to every day stroke them and eventually work your way up to handling properly. Other than that, all I can really say is that I've been bitten before, and you barely even notice it. Even so, they rarely bite in the first place.
Luckily, My leopard gecko's cage is in my room so it sees me everyday and sometimes watches me from it's cage, so at least it's used to me. That's one good thing.
I have a similar fear with both my leopard gecko and crested gecko. My crested never bites me but has lunged at me to show off aggression and often tries escaping by bolting across my room so it is always so stressful to have her out! That fear has carried over onto my baby Leo however he is so calm when I hold him and never lunges or seems stressed but I do fear that I disturb him and that makes me afraid to pick him up as well
Thank you a ton my son is three and wanted a lizard so I just got one and this was super helpful for the both of us tomorrow morning we will go in making a sound and too feed him in a bowl he seem to like his new home he is running around sun basking and not hiding so it makes me happy he is becoming comfortable already
My leopard gecko comes in a couple of hours, and I’ve done loads of research but I still feel really underprepared!, the feeding schedule works amazing for me with work etc, I’ll feed them around 7pm GBT as that’s after work, they are 5 months old and I’m still struggling on what to feed them and how often, because everywhere I go it’s saying different things!
Feed daily under six months, every other day between 6-12 months, and 1-2 times a week over a year. Live crickets, roaches, silkworms, and black soldier fly larvae can be fed regularly. Mealworms, super worms, and hornworms can be fed occasionally. The more variety in their diet, the better :)
i feel a bit sad because i have accidentally stressed out my gecko to the point where she is a bit scared of me so i am trying to fix that as best as possible
I got my first little Leo a couple weeks ago. Don't know her age cause she was an adult when I got her, but she seems to be doing really well. Her name is Circe, and, after following all of the tips on this channel, she's a very sweet and cuddly little girl.
Right. Fuck that guy. He makes me sick. Horrible husbandry and doesn't give a damn about his animals' wellbeing. I can't believe how many knuckleheads out there still defend his breeding practices (spiders... you know it) Just sick. I'm glad I saw all of that before ending up buying an animal from him. I ended up getting my gecko locally anyway though because of the shipping delays. Not putting an animal into that situation. I was really expecting more comments about barczyk lol 🤮
@@edendehring3942 He breeds spider ball pythons, which is a morph that is notorious for have severe neurological disorders. He also keeps some of his reptiles in smaller than normal tub setups that are pretty much empty and with no enrichment. And that's only a few things that he does.
Thanks, Leopard Gecko!! I just got a Leo named Lemon and she is so sweet! She loves to come out to eat and stares at me when I leave and comes out to see me. Even though her cage doesn't have those fancy front doors, she still knows what her food is kept in and wags her tail like a dog when she is hungry it's so cute!!! Many thanks for all fo your tips!! -AVeryHappyGeckoGirl
My first pet was fish and its acctually good if you bond with them too!a way you can do that is watch them eat, feed them, or tap on the glass(I have a lepord gecko now and you help so much! Thank you!)
Rainbow Newt Gaming I strongly recommend not letting them near each other. The gecko could get injured, killed, or drop their tail. They’re predator and prey.
I don't really have a specific sound for my geckos but I have done something similar with singing! Every time I get ready to bring them out to feed I start singing to them and they each come out and walk into my hand. It's been a great bonding experience and is also a great way of training them

I’ve had mine for over 2 months and he’s still not very tame, you have to go at the geckos pace which is very annoying but it’s worth it in the end
I'm Blue it's scared of you
If it is a baby, then that happens. They have to get used to you and realize that you aren't gonna gobble them up. I started getting Sahyu used to me by putting my hand in her tank for a bit once she settled in. Better to get them used to it when they are little and their bites are just cute.
Same thing for one of my Leopard Geckos.
If they are young: Then they're either stressed out, new to environment, scared, or overly dominant, or overly aggressive.
If they are old: Then they're stressed, scared, or overly aggressive.
Plus, be patient with your Gecko, it takes time to build a bond with him or her.
Me: I love you gecko.
Gecko: I don’t.

I just wanted to thank you for always giving amazing advice for raising healthy and happy leopard geckos! I got my first gecko two weeks ago, and we already have began to bond and become comfortable. I got a lavender mack snow and he is around 6 months old. I watched nearly every one of your care/tip videos before I got him, and I'm so glad I did! Remy (my leo's name) is very happy in his new environment thanks to your help. Today was the first day in the actual handling process in taming him and he did extremely well! I'm already in love with my leo, thank you for all of your help!
My gecko loves back rubbing it’s his favorite. He also loves his head rubbed
i got one 3 days ago & suprisingly she came out to eat on the first day with me plus 1 other person in the room watching…i definitely make the same noise & call her name & i was happy that i was able to draw her out 2 times from doing that…but i waited until around 8 pm because thats when she wakes up to eat & sleeps alll day loll ❤
“WITHOUT FURVUR ADOOO” Im so sorry I had to 😂
when you made that noise my gecko came out of his hide thinking it was food time lol
That is adorable 😍 mine is sleeping and doing very sploot
Jennifer Birch what’s his namw
5:45 the way he/she pokes her head up is the cutest thing I have ever seen
My gecko *loves* my dogs. He's literally completely amazed by them, he follows them around in his enclosure so he can still watch my dog, Rosie chase her tail. The weirdest thing though is he has no reaction to her barking, she doesn't bark at him. But she has been in my room and has barked at the TV but he doesn't budge. He absolutely loves her lol idk why
“Get a sound”

Zachary Dort [Student] YES
@Zachary Dort [Student]
don't call me out like that.
Got a leopard gecko yesterday, these are great tips. Thx!
J Goofy how’s it going
Congrats on getting a gecko!
This really help me to understand the bonding process of my leopard gecko.
ah perfect!
when i handle my gecko i do do a clicking sound and pick her up carefully. However my hands tend to get cold so i let her crawl on my chest and neck ans she just hangs out there the entire time.
awww yeah, they do love the neck and shoulder area - nice and warm :')
Same here
They do that clicking noise when feeling stressed. It’s not healthy for your gecko. Very minimal handling is best.
@@beautypsychmani3124 She said that she was doing the clicking noise, not her gecko ^.^

An angry noise is an angry noise
I am getting a gecko tomorrow and I am so excited!!!!!!
Have u got it yet? ;D
Yeah now I have its name is pepper and is soooooo tiiiiiny
@@landolizards2312 cuteeeee
@ClariceTheLoser Btw I check out your channel and I really liked your roblox house. YOU SHOULD UPLOAD MORE VIDS!
@@landolizards2312 ahahaha I don’t play roblox that often anymore but thank you!!
To make a long story short I went from zero leopard geckos to FOUR over night and while I’ve done thorough research your videos have been a HUGE help! I already had a crested gecko so your videos for them have been great too. Just wanted to say thanks for making videos 😁
My boyfriend has one. She never showed herself. But then I started to feed her and give her water. I always talk to animals... And everytime i filled her water bowl or just opened her enclosure, she came to me! She even walks on my hand. My boyfriend was very surprised! So my little gecko girl and I are friends i guess! I love her! 🤗💕
Ive had my gecko for 11 years so far and I always listen to your advice! I love your videos!!!
My leopard gecko just used to ignore me before. But I started hand feeding him, and now he comes out of his hide every time he hears my voice. Even if it's his nap time
I never knew they hated being touched on the back! I thought it was just my leopard geckos. Thanks for including that, now I know :)
YOUR THE BEST YOU HELPED ME CHANGE MY LEOPARD GECKOS LIFE AND MADE ME EXTREMELY HAPPY
As soon as I got my leopard gecko he loved everyone and wanted to be held. Idk why I’m watching this lol. I think I was just blessed with the best one lol
My gecko Joy doesn't like it when I stroke under her chin so I stroke her back, but! For those people who have geckos like mine, if they start to arch their back when you touch the back, or they try to flatten down just pull your hand away, please
yeah as i said all geckos are different haha , mine just all hate it :')
Why? I'm sort of new to it?
Lillian Lunt
So I got a leo about a year ago I adopted her and she had the starting of mbd but I have been taking very good care of her, I was wondering why it’s not a good thing to pet them on their backs? She seems to enjoy it and she doesn’t like run away from it, but I was just wondering why you think it’s not the greatest idea? I get that they are all different just curious
You mean like avoiding our hand or getting away from our hand something like that?
Mine doesn't like being touched but the spot he tolerates the most is the neck lol
I'm a new gecko owner. And lemme just say: mine has lots of personality!! She's pretty young at the moment, but she's so intelligent! I do keep her in my room and I am partially homeschooled. While I don't make loud noises, I am in my room constantly doing schoolwork, but she seems fine with it. When I come in the room and sit on my bed, she comes out of her hide and sleeps on top of it which I think is kinda cute. Idk if that's a bad sign or not. I love your videos, thank you so much for your help!!
I have absolutely RUINED my gecko with hand feeding. I feed him, and he just stands there looking at me like, "hey man, watcha doing? You gonna get me out again?" He gets handled every evening. And he LOVES when I rub his back.
You own a cat
Don’t know if it’s just me, I watched tons of videos before I got my gecko. Then now after he’s tamed and he’s my best friend I still watch them to make sure I remembered and learned the information correctly. My gecko is so good, I love him. Thank you for all the advice I’ve learned.
I have 2 Leo's and they are my pride and joy I love them so much and thank God they are healthy and happy
Just wondering, are they housed together?
You're so helpful! I'm very interested in adopting a gecko and your videos are really educating me, thanks so much!
My gecko loves me... in his own way
Lemme guess. His love is biting you..? xD
hahaa :')
Same here. Just got mine a couple weeks ago!
Absolutely LOVE how chubby and happy your Geckos look! Their tails are really nice!
I unintentionally made a sound for my leos everytime id feed them id pick up the bug with tongs and theyd get calcium powder on them so id click the tongs to get the powder off and id do it each time id put down a bug...well now they like the sound of the metal tongs clicking together😭💀
Great video, love the editing 🤙 Last night I think I had a bonding moment with my gecko, he bit my finger and then just stared at me like "Yo, you aren't food, bring out the worms!"
thanks! aww haha they look so confused when that happens lol
Maybe it’s the tone of your voice that determines the amount of meaning. I LOVE YOU GECKO!!!
Omg you’re wearing Shane merch omfg. This video was awesome as always
haha thanks :)
I see u have a bakugo prof pic, to brighten your day, I named my gecko Toshinori.
Thanks for the video, my girl arches her back oddly when I stroke it, I had no idea that mean she hated it! Definitely won’t be doing that anymore 😩
THAT IS SO COOL THE THUMBNAIL BECOMES THE VIDEO!!! 0:00
2:24 Aww, look at Diego looking like the grinch
My sound for my leopard gecko is "handsome"
Mines is beans or yip yip
@@bunni_.goblin9862 "Yip yip" like Aang to Appa?
The sound for my girl is “lil baby man”, “baby”, and when she’s bratty, “Toffee” (her actual name.)
I’m in high school with a bunch of extracurricular stuff, so with the timing of activity is perfect for me.
my gecko love to be petting on her head
That Shane Dawson shirt tho 👌🙌
Hannah D. I noticed that too XD
I didn't even realise when I was filming, I just happened to have it on :')
I JUST got a Mack snow leopard and IMMEDIATELY found your channel and started taking notes. love your videos!
Loving the Shane Dawson merch!!!!!!! 😍
London Burgos just noticed it! Yasssss
I WAS GONNA SAY THAT
yassssssss
the very first thing i noticed 😅
Loving the profile pic
Video: “Have a sound”
Me: “Car Insurance”
15 percent of car insurance can save you 15 percent
One of my geckos favorite things to do when handling is what i like to call “ treadmill” she just goes in a straight line walking from my hand to my other hand, and I just keep moving my hands back in front of the other when she steps off of it
So this helped because I have a dog and when she wags her tail it means she’s happy but with leopard geckos it means he or her is stressed thanks because I’m gonna be getting a leopard gecko and I have done lots of research but your videos really help thx 😁😁
this was so helpful! thank you!
ah im glad :) no problem!
The part where you said "if you own larger lizards you could accidentally handle your Leo too rough..." or something like that...that is 100% TRUE....I own larger sized lizards, and I was actually too afraid to even pick up my leo simply because he was so small. I was terrified that I would accidentally crush him or squeeze him too tight or something. I actually didn't handle him at all for a while...It made me so sad I wanted a relationship with him like I had will all of my other animals. He also wasn't very chill either. So I moved his entire enclosure into my office and even though I never really handled him, he could always see me. It was a while but eventually I started watching you tube videos on handling you leopard gecko. So I tried it like twice just placing my hand in his enclosure and the 2nd time he just came right up to me. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be as he really doesn't do much out his enclosure except chill, so I don't really worry about him running off or anything. We are cool now. But I honestly used to be so afraid of hurting him that I couldn't really enjoy the experience...But it turned out great in the end!
yeah this is cool n all and I've used these tactics for the past two years but now I'm just positive my gecko is devil spawn. I love her to death. its just...devil spawn
What does he do? Do they even like getting touched?
I'm curious to read what she does too lol
Me too lol my friend really wants to sell me his as my first pet but I’m cuurooos
have a "Sound" now this may SOUND weird
I got a leopard gecko a couple of weeks ago her names echo but ive never had one before but hsve always loved geckos! Because ive been around reptiles my whole life mostly snakes and iguanas etc i didnt know how to hold them properly or anything so your vids have helped. She seems happy and is very active and likes to be held so thank you!!!
I just realized how much things I've been doing wrong!
My gecko is 8 years old and I've had him since 15th of April 2018 from now on i'll follow these tips
Same, my girl is 3 years old and i still cant handle her 😂
Give us an update
Yay so happy I found you! S/O to my pet lizard Rocky🥰
Hello my name is lexi I've been watching you for almost a year and I now have had my lizard for almost a year I became obsessed with lizards when I first started watching you I was very uneducated but now have learned so much from you I would just like to give you a big thank you
A lot of the time, I'm always nervous to pick up my leopard gecko, Sketch. I've picked him up before, but I've just gotten a sudden fear. I don't know how to deal with it. I try to ignore my fear, but I can't. I'm always scared i'll be bitten, even though I know leopard gecko bites don't really hurt much. How can I deal with this fear?
Row Hobbit you can start small with short time the make them longer as you get more comfortable
Other than keep trying, I don't really know. Possibly try to every day stroke them and eventually work your way up to handling properly.
Other than that, all I can really say is that I've been bitten before, and you barely even notice it. Even so, they rarely bite in the first place.
Luckily, My leopard gecko's cage is in my room so it sees me everyday and sometimes watches me from it's cage, so at least it's used to me. That's one good thing.
What about sitting in a penned off area? That way, if your gecko does bolt/want to go exploring, they're still contained and can't go far?
I have a similar fear with both my leopard gecko and crested gecko. My crested never bites me but has lunged at me to show off aggression and often tries escaping by bolting across my room so it is always so stressful to have her out! That fear has carried over onto my baby Leo however he is so calm when I hold him and never lunges or seems stressed but I do fear that I disturb him and that makes me afraid to pick him up as well
Can you do the same video but with creasted gecko PLEASE
Jack and the derby boy this is for every gecko, not just leopard geckos
hmm I guess some of these tips could be applied to cresties too :)
Do crested geckos like to be held?
Trinity Peterson Done properly Yes
I watched this 3yrs ago now my leopard gecko quickly comes out of his hide in excitement everytime i do the clicking sound.
Yay first! I LOVE YOU LEOPARD GECKO!
aw thank you :)
loving that shane dawson merch
Thank you a ton my son is three and wanted a lizard so I just got one and this was super helpful for the both of us tomorrow morning we will go in making a sound and too feed him in a bowl he seem to like his new home he is running around sun basking and not hiding so it makes me happy he is becoming comfortable already
My leopard gecko comes in a couple of hours, and I’ve done loads of research but I still feel really underprepared!, the feeding schedule works amazing for me with work etc, I’ll feed them around 7pm GBT as that’s after work, they are 5 months old and I’m still struggling on what to feed them and how often, because everywhere I go it’s saying different things!
Feed daily under six months, every other day between 6-12 months, and 1-2 times a week over a year. Live crickets, roaches, silkworms, and black soldier fly larvae can be fed regularly. Mealworms, super worms, and hornworms can be fed occasionally. The more variety in their diet, the better :)
i feel a bit sad because i have accidentally stressed out my gecko to the point where she is a bit scared of me so i am trying to fix that as best as possible
I got my first little Leo a couple weeks ago. Don't know her age cause she was an adult when I got her, but she seems to be doing really well. Her name is Circe, and, after following all of the tips on this channel, she's a very sweet and cuddly little girl.
"no hate to brian"
this aged poorly lmao
Right. Fuck that guy. He makes me sick. Horrible husbandry and doesn't give a damn about his animals' wellbeing. I can't believe how many knuckleheads out there still defend his breeding practices (spiders... you know it)
Just sick. I'm glad I saw all of that before ending up buying an animal from him. I ended up getting my gecko locally anyway though because of the shipping delays. Not putting an animal into that situation.
I was really expecting more comments about barczyk lol
🤮
PewPewCat :O what did he do? I haven’t really been watching him for a long time so I don’t know a ton about him.
@@edendehring3942 He breeds spider ball pythons, which is a morph that is notorious for have severe neurological disorders. He also keeps some of his reptiles in smaller than normal tub setups that are pretty much empty and with no enrichment. And that's only a few things that he does.
i commented on his live to stop breeding ball pythons and he blocked my comments and called me uneducated (:
@@subhub637 because when you say “stop breeding ball pythons” when you hop in someone’s live, you kinda just make yourself look like a dumbass
AHHHH
Like ur shirt ;)
this helps alot my leapord gecko is 4 and a half years old and he is now happier
Im livin for that shane dawson shirt
OMG you’re wearing a Shane Dawson shirt! I can’t believe nobody pointed this out on my God I’ve gained a whole new level of respect for you
Randomness Lord literally every comment is about the Shane Dawson merch.
Thanks, Leopard Gecko!! I just got a Leo named Lemon and she is so sweet! She loves to come out to eat and stares at me when I leave and comes out to see me. Even though her cage doesn't have those fancy front doors, she still knows what her food is kept in and wags her tail like a dog when she is hungry it's so cute!!! Many thanks for all fo your tips!!
-AVeryHappyGeckoGirl
I have a gecko named lemon :D
Do these help with Cresties too?
Gracie Girl same I wanna know
I'll have a think of what I do with cresties, but they've always been pretty tame.
Leopard Gecko Thanks :)
Grace D. Yas
@@leopardgeckotalk lol not in my experience
THAT SHANE DAWSON MERCH!!! 10/10
haha thanks :)
My first pet was fish and its acctually good if you bond with them too!a way you can do that is watch them eat, feed them, or tap on the glass(I have a lepord gecko now and you help so much! Thank you!)
My gecko also hates being stroked along her back!
Is this weird but my cat and leopard gecko are very close and they both get stressed when they don’t see each over all day like WHY
Rainbow Newt Gaming I strongly recommend not letting them near each other. The gecko could get injured, killed, or drop their tail. They’re predator and prey.
Fiona Shepley one key detail is that the cat is paralyzed and can’t do anything to it
Memo Mochi awwww that’s so sad
My chihuahua whimpers to see my corn snake loves watching him in his rub as she can watch him
Fiona Shepley good for you, commenting things on people’s comments to make them feel scared when they clearly know what they’re doing.
I don't really have a specific sound for my geckos but I have done something similar with singing! Every time I get ready to bring them out to feed I start singing to them and they each come out and walk into my hand. It's been a great bonding experience and is also a great way of training them
