My pet leopard gecko is so cool. I call to him and he’ll come to me and crawl up my hand ready to be held. Never knew they were so cool with a personality. His name is chicken little! Thumbs up and cheers from California!
Just don’t squeeze them. I should say this for all ages but especially babies. And don’t handle them to high up because if they fall they will get hurt. After all there ground dwelling geckos. Oh and make sure to always be ready to catch your gecko if it tries to run away they can be quite fast lol.
My Leo, buckwheat is the sweetest boy ever. He’s so cute and I love him so much. He makes my heart melt and I come home to him every day and tell him how handsome and sweet he is
I’m obsessed with your channel! Your amount of dedication to informing people about these lil cuties is amazing. Thank you for helping me, and so many others! ❤️❤️
I got my boyfriend into leopard geckos, and reptiles in general, and a week ago, we found two for rehoming! This past week has been filled with contacting the rehomer, setting up enclosures and LOTS AND LOTS OF RESEARCH. Today I surprised him with a 4-5 page complete leopard gecko guide filled with information from many sources, including you!! So thank you!! We're so excited :)
They are such awesome pets! I haven’t even had mine for a full year and already we have a great bond. She’s so friendly and genuinely seems to enjoy coming out to be handled. She’s a beautiful hypo tremper albino with a lovely carrot tail and she cost me under $30 (I have a shop that breeds them in house and I got to meet her parents and her sister. They do an amazing job with all their animals and really know their stuff.)
I absolutely am in love with my leopard gecko and so happy I have her. I almost didn't get one because I don't like bugs but she's totally worth it and I don't mind the feeders(I just don't do crickets)
Try to give a variety because they can get bored & refuse to eat it. I can’t give my older girl because she’s a fatty cuz when I got her she was skinny & gave her mostly horn, wax, & meal worms & now I’m currently feeding her crickets & meal worms once a week.
I saw leopard geckos with scars all crammed into the same viv for sale and I’m so angry Not mentioning names but it was a certain shop near ems worth and the last words are reptiles and aquaria
so sad :( i have visited quite a few reptile shops around the south of england and have been to this one :( some setups are cool, but the leos are lacking. there were bowls of undusted wax worms and mealworms left in there :(
I love my leoperd geckos because they need calm energy so handeling and caring for them is almost like caring for a rock garden or meditating in that aspect. It is very peaceful and something I genuinely look forward to doing every day!
Screw those thumbs down people your just teaching people the responsibility that comes with owning a pet. I hate impulse buyers who usually get rid of their pet in a year, and that's what you were trying to prevent it at least that's what I took from the videos! Your absolutely amazing!
Wished I could tame mine 😞 I've been trying since May this year and still doesn't enjoy being out but he'll lick my hand and hand feed fine inside viv.
Ah how strange, do you try to handle him regularly? Sometimes people will tell me they can't tame it but they'll only handle it once a week. Whereas I find best results come from holding them a little bit daily.
Every time I watch your videos I fall more in love with your geckos, they have such solid personalities, I think my cat is part gecko because she has hides like a gecko and she actually kinda sploots which is adorable.
I got my two Leo geckos for $15. One albino and one normal. They are the sweetest little babies on earth and I adore them so much! Your channel really helps me know how to handle, care, and house these guys! Have a good day/night!
After weeks of watching dozens of your leopard gecko videos,we finally brought our own home! Thankyou for these as they have made us so much more prepared for our little Huntress!
I love how in the beginning of this video you provide the best advice anyone has ever given to people trying to own animals SIMPLY by just suggesting GOOGLE. I NEVER understand why people ask other people or pet store or experts THE stupidest questions when they can just simply look it up.
i have had my leopard gecko apollo for about a year and a half now and it was the best decision i’ve ever made! he is so sweet and well tempered and i love him so much. your videos were my go to when i was researching leopard gecko care and you’ve helped me a lot. i just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work and effort your put into your videos, they have definitely helped me!
Im getting a leopard gecko for my birthday and your videos are helping and unbelievable amount! ive been taking lots and lots of notes and getting prepared for when i get my leopard gecko. :)
I just got a leopard gecko 2 weeks ago! I followed all your instructions and she ate her first meal in her new enclosure today! Her name is Lizzie like from magic school bus. Keep it up!
I just got my leopard gecko yesterday and i got her because i showed my parents both why we should and shouldnt get one. Thank you so much. I love her so much and i cant wait to love her for a long time. ♥️
I just want to say how glad I am that I found your channel. I thoroughly enjoy watching the videos and I have learned soooo much from you. All of your gecko set ups are amazing! I was excited the first time I saw you have a chohoua (spelling?) gecko. I'm actually planning on getting my first leopard gecko next year, and after that I know I want to get a chohoua. It's kind of funny because I'm a forty-seven year old lady looking at keeping reptiles for the first time. 😊 Anyway keep up the great work and best wishes from Wisconsin USA ❤️.
I really agree when she said do as much research as possible. I know so many people who got pets because they were cute and exotic rather than considering the aspects first. It’s sad to think that so many are mistreated.
HEYY! My Juvenile leopard gecko (that’s I got yesterday) has been sleeping for over 13 ish hours, and its almost 9pm and I put his worms and fresh water in this terrarium, but he just went back to sleep, is there something I should do?
I got my leopard gecko today❤️❤️ she is not used to being handled but she has a very sweet personality💋 I’m really thankful I’m her new owner and I’ll make sure she will have a great life❤️❤️
Question... I see you have videos on why leapord geckos aren't eating, but my leapord gecko's appetite has seemed to increase? Is he storing food for the winter?? Should i just feed him until he's full? Your videos are SO SO helpful, and i am really thankful. THANK YOU!
I am in love with my leopard gecko! I have other reptiles (a corn snake, a crested gecko, and a blue tongue skink) i wasn’t sold on them as I thought oh everyone has one. But I found some that needed to be rescued and I had the all the necessary enclosure, enrichment, heating, so I thought why not!!?? I love her so much and can’t imagine life without her. Such great little pets
I think the vid about cons of owning a leopard gecko is actually really helpful to pets and pet owners because not all people are meant to be pet owners, and more people should be aware of that for the sake of animals & themselves. :)
I love this channel, your my FAVORITE TH-camr. I used to not love my gecko as much until one day I noticed it’s spots. It looked so cool so I started checking it out more. And I loved researching about it and holding it. So thank you for giving me and my gecko a wonderful relationship. -Weston AKA (your best listener for your channel)
Thank you for making me do the one thing I’ve always wanted. Meat the honest TH-camr. I’m crying. Thank you Leopard Gecko. Reconnecting with my gecko is helping my depression and watching all the interesting patterns it has. But thank you truly. For not being the TH-camr that doesn’t check comments. Thank you for letting me care for my gecko the proper way. There is the people that say I love your channel and your geckos. But I really like you. And your geckos. Like I love y’all. Not in a there my fav because of there content, it’s because of what you do. And I love what you where and the way you talk. And how cute and slur my your little friends can be... I just can’t explain the level of happiness I have right now. I was on cloud 4 today, but you put me on cloud 9. Thank you. I legitimately can’t explain my thanks for you. Just thanks for taking time of your day to look at comments. Wish I knew you, like knew knew you, and I just can’t thank you enough. Just. Love you and your little friends.
I got my leopard gecko this September, he's the cutest bold bandit bean in the entire world! Your channel helped so much when I was doing research about them so I could welcome him with open arms So thank you so so much!!!! 💛
I’m getting a leopard gecko on friday! I’ll edit this comment when i get one! i know i’m getting a female and i want one with spots so i can name her freckles ☺️ edit: i forgot about this comment! i got her!! she’s doing amazing and already let’s me hold her! she ate for the first time yesterday (the second day i had her)
Just want to say I've been watching your videos for a few years now, but it wasn't until recently that I got my first leopard gecko. (I raised three crested geckos, though.) If it weren't for your videos, I don't think I would've had the confidence to take in a rescue Leo and give him the best possible enclosure and setup. I did do other research, but I've always appreciated that you go above and beyond for your animals. I don't know why any true animal lover would want to settle for the bare minimum. My rescue came to me with swollen feet and sores from shedding problems, as well as a calcium deficiency. After a vet visit, I had to give him daily antibiotics and soaks. But all his sheds in my care have been absolutely perfect, and he's doing amazing now. 😊 (I'm in the US, but I managed to get him stocked up on Arcadia supplements, the Deep Heat Projector, and the Shadedweller. I think it's safe to say those really made a difference in his progress!)
you are so awesome i have basically 99 percent of all my leo knowledge from you. you helped me get my beloved leopard gecko who's name is darkstalker and he is so cute. you helped me convince my mom that leopard geckos are awesome pets. thank you SO MUCH your so awesome!!!! keep being great and i hope you make so many more great videos!!
Hi... I'm from Portugal and I learned all about leopard geckos through your channel and some web research too, I have a female leopard gecko that looks just like your Gizmo. Her name is Kita and I bought her while she was 6 months old in last year December, she's now 81g and 23cm long and so bright and lovable with a big fat tail. Thank you for enlightening us with all this important information. Keep up the good work 😄
I just got my first leopard gecko a couple days ago! You helped me so much when it came to my years of research. One question that I still have is if it’s okay to give your gecko treats on non-feeding days or not. Anyway, tysm and amazing video as always :)
My leopard gecko Lizzy lived for 17 years before dying of old age but he lived a good life and he was pretty good about being handled and he would close his eyes and lift up his head while being pet.Except one of the few times he actually bit (very hard to the point where I started bleeding) was when he was shedding and it was totally random since he was lying on my hand just a minute ago but then I realized that geckos are more irritable while shedding
My leopard gecko kinky crawls into my hand when I put it in the tank! It’s so cute she won’t go to anyone else in the house lol and she’ll give me kisses through the tank glass
I know it might seem discouraging seeing the dislikes but don't phase yourself and your valid opinion just because some people didn't like called off on buying pets that are not suited for them and are incapable of taking care them PROPERLY!!! Yes I can get a pet from a pet store.. Then what? A good pet owner isn't one where their pet barely survives in bad conditions and surely not one that says my pet doesn't need these stuff, he is perfectly fine. I am glad you did your previous video. Your knowledge and experience is tremendously important 💗💗💗💗💗
My parents might get me a Leo for my birthday in March.... I’ve been wanting to get one for 2 years and I showed them some of ur videos and that has made them (hopefully) change their minds! I’ve done absolutely loads of research around half is mainly from ur channel so just wanted to say thankyou!!
I think being informed both why you should or should not buy a pet are equally valid videos. I've always had a soft spot for leopard geckos and am considering buying one soon. Your videos are so well presented and very informative!
I personally would never see myself getting a reptile of any sort. They just don’t really appeal to me and I don’t feel I’d be able to give them the proper care. However, I love watching your videos. :) I find them super interesting. You approach many different topics on reptile care, and I find myself knowing a lot about something I won’t have!
I had a bearded dragon and he recently passed, i was very sad cause I loved him so much and I didn’t wanna just not have one but I decided I want to try more reptiles so I want to look at leopard geckos
If there's one piece of advice I could give to anyone considering getting a leopard gecko its THE TOES! When I bought my leo and her sister (my 1st ever lizard) from the pet store, I realized she's missing most of her toes and I was really confused. I thought that it was because she was kept in a shared enclosure, so the others have bitten at her feet like fish would, but soon I've realized she seems to have some issues with shedding her skin compared to other geckos, so after one more lost finger, now I know she has to have a warm foot bath every single time she sheds and I have to remove the pieces from her feet myself. I've read tons of articles on proper leo husbandry before I got them, but not a single one of them mentioned the possibility of the gecko losing fingers from stuck sheds ...
@@prostekai jasně, idk maybe I just might've missed that information... somehow... but whoever had been taking care of her before me, including the staff of the petstore (Palladium) mustve obviously "missed" that piece of info as well, among other stuff, e.g. they tried to sell me some calci-sand with them. So I dont think its harmful to throw this in the comments under similar type of videos
I think it can be something people look over. You definitely have to be patient and be careful when removing stuck shed, I imagine some people just cba to remove it :(
@@prostekai He's probably lucky then, but I would personally never risk that. I use the coconut brick substrate and I keep seeing my geckos digging in it, licking it, sometimes they eat a piece that got caught on the cockroaches' legs and whenever I'm cleaning their tank it seems it ehm.. just went right through undigested. Concerning the shop, Palladium is the huge shopping center close to Staroměstské nám. in Prague, I believe the store is part of the "Pet Center" chain, so one might think this would be one of their more representative stores, but... probably not. Anyway, sand seems to be still quite popular in CZ, whenever I check some of the online places people use for selling reptiles, I never fail to find a few pics of leos on sand. Or buy 2 get 1 free offers, those are almost as good..
My gecko is the opposite of yours she's always trying to run anywhere anytime she's insane She's also really fast which doesn't help when she runs under a wardrobe
I’ve been watching your videos and talking to my mom about getting one for Christmas. I’ve just fell in love with leopard geckos. I want to name mine Cosmo.
In my experience, leopard geckos don’t intimidate people as much as most other reptiles. They see the smaller size and their rounded head and think that they’re adorable. It help with family members or friends who are afraid of reptiles.
I love my skittles. I have had her since January. I learned she likes to listen to music. She would stay still until the song is finished and then moved. Since I have her she had shed 14 times.
What i am wondering is if you only want to have one leopard gecko and you want to give it a variety of insects, won't a lot of your feeder insects turn into beetles? What do you do with those?
I have several snakes and lizards and my leopard gecko has by far the most personality, even more so than my bearded dragon! I adore them all but she certainly has a special place in my heart! 💕🦎
Ive had my Larry the leopard gecko (haha) for a month now, and just comes out when he knows its feeding time, and doesnt let me handle him as much, he just keeps to himself, i hope he trusts me more down the road
@@leopardgeckotalk thanks for the reply! Best day ever! Not so much as scoop as carnival claw gently from the sides, and tend to put my thumb on his back when he is on my hand wanting to avoid him falling, i will try tonight to scoop him as you do and not put the thumb, thank you for all the videos you make (my Larry is 6 months old)
I totally love your shirt. I've had my Leopard Gecko for a little over a year now and My Merlin is the greatest.... I have watched your videos since last October and you have helped me so much with how to take care of him and I thank you for it.
Kennedy Lynn best not to as they have no nutritional benefits for your gecko because they have not been gutloaded and they are pretty much just unnecessary
I may be getting a leopard gecko next year so I am doing as much research as possible. I am going to adopt tho. Also thank you for commenting on one of my videos it really means the world to me 😊. Have a great night and keep up the amazing work.
alyssa wain he’s so cuteee 🥺🥺 i totally recommend getting one they’re so easy to take care of! and they’re safe to be around little kids, like my 4 yr old brother :))
Hello! I'm thinking about getting a leopard gecko, but before I do, I want to make sure I do all the research I can. I barely know anything about them, so if anyone has any tips for me, that'd be great! Thanks!
Mabey try different bugs to see what your gecko likes the most also I would say to start off with a small 15 gallon tank to Star with 0:54 as a baby gecko then go up to around 20 to 25 gallon tank when they are a little bigger also no calcium sand. It is so dangerous for them to digest and then they can become very impacted and then not eat.
For the enclosure I also go for 3ft minimum but I have had worse, my Leo was a rescue that was kept in a funiarium because "they grow to the size of their enclosure"
I now hear that 20 gallon tank estimate and wonder if it's really true. I mean, I don't think I'm "spoiling" her, but I I recently bought my pet a new enclosure. I bought a 36x18x12 Exo Terra enclosure for her because I had her in a 20 gallon long aquarium but it just looked too small for her... and she's got to be around 6-8 months old right now. She's still got a ways to grow.
I just love my Leopard Gecko Altair , he's my buddy and pal , he's a sub adult Striped Tremper and I've had him since July of this year , I bought him from a breeder at a reptile exspo , he's so fun and personality amazing , he's been in a state of brumation and only yesterday night came out to say hello , all I can say is I love my Leopard Gecko
HEYY! My Juvenile leopard gecko (that’s I got yesterday) has been sleeping for over 13 ish hours, and its almost 9pm and I put his worms and fresh water in this terrarium, but he just went back to sleep, is there something I should do?
I'm getting a gecko probably in a couple months (like 3-5) I have watched as many videos as I could looked at all the products needed started saving money knowing how much I still need ($87 something amout change) I know his name will be noodle and a lot of other stuff
For anyone wondering, you can find the top I'm wearing in this video here 👉🏻 teespring.com/HomeWithLizardsNew

I love your channel😁

You have helped guide me for over a year with the care of my lil leo gecko.
That’s awesome. We all have to start somewhere and learn, and hopefully help someone else someday, with what we were taught.

Mine does the same. His name is Alfred

Leopard Gecko do you have any tips on handling as she’s only a baby and quite skittish
Just don’t squeeze them. I should say this for all ages but especially babies. And don’t handle them to high up because if they fall they will get hurt. After all there ground dwelling geckos. Oh and make sure to always be ready to catch your gecko if it tries to run away they can be quite fast lol.
You’re lucky! I really want a leopard gecko!!!

I got my leopard gecko this September, he's the cutest bold bandit bean in the entire world!
Your channel helped so much when I was doing research about them so I could welcome him with open arms
So thank you so so much!!!! 💛
aww thank you :D
I’m getting a leopard gecko on friday! I’ll edit this comment when i get one! i know i’m getting a female and i want one with spots so i can name her freckles ☺️
edit: i forgot about this comment! i got her!! she’s doing amazing and already let’s me hold her! she ate for the first time yesterday (the second day i had her)
Any more updates on Freckles?
@@LunaroseClaire yes!! she’s a year old and he’s super healthy and doing great i love her so much!
AAAAAAAAAAAA im so early! as a lg owner, i can confirm, they're so nice if you're nice too!
yeah :D :D
Just want to say I've been watching your videos for a few years now, but it wasn't until recently that I got my first leopard gecko. (I raised three crested geckos, though.) If it weren't for your videos, I don't think I would've had the confidence to take in a rescue Leo and give him the best possible enclosure and setup. I did do other research, but I've always appreciated that you go above and beyond for your animals. I don't know why any true animal lover would want to settle for the bare minimum.
My rescue came to me with swollen feet and sores from shedding problems, as well as a calcium deficiency. After a vet visit, I had to give him daily antibiotics and soaks. But all his sheds in my care have been absolutely perfect, and he's doing amazing now. 😊 (I'm in the US, but I managed to get him stocked up on Arcadia supplements, the Deep Heat Projector, and the Shadedweller. I think it's safe to say those really made a difference in his progress!)
Watching this with my jack o'lantern leopard gecko whos turning 1 this saturday! Your videos are very helpful.
Leopard gecko the most dangerous thing they can do is kill you with a cuteness overload
Thank you for making this a video because me and my brothers are trying to convince are parents to buy one
1) they are adorable beans that we must protect at all costs
you are so awesome i have basically 99 percent of all my leo knowledge from you. you helped me get my beloved leopard gecko who's name is darkstalker and he is so cute. you helped me convince my mom that leopard geckos are awesome pets. thank you SO MUCH your so awesome!!!! keep being great and i hope you make so many more great videos!!
Hi... I'm from Portugal and I learned all about leopard geckos through your channel and some web research too, I have a female leopard gecko that looks just like your Gizmo. Her name is Kita and I bought her while she was 6 months old in last year December, she's now 81g and 23cm long and so bright and lovable with a big fat tail.
Thank you for enlightening us with all this important information. Keep up the good work 😄
aww sweet! She sounds like she's a healthy big girl like my Ziggy :D Thank you!! :)
I just got my first leopard gecko a couple days ago! You helped me so much when it came to my years of research. One question that I still have is if it’s okay to give your gecko treats on non-feeding days or not.
Anyway, tysm and amazing video as always :)
Aw thanks :) I tend to leave foods/treats to feeding days, but maybe a wax worm here or there rather than on a feeding day could do.
@@leopardgeckotalk good to know! Thank you :)
Great video as always Rebecca, where do you order your feeder insects from as they’re super cheap?!?
Thank you :) I always get them from Internet Reptile :)
Great video as always! Thanks for all the info :)
thank you! :D
My leopard gecko Lizzy lived for 17 years before dying of old age but he lived a good life and he was pretty good about being handled and he would close his eyes and lift up his head while being pet.Except one of the few times he actually bit (very hard to the point where I started bleeding) was when he was shedding and it was totally random since he was lying on my hand just a minute ago but then I realized that geckos are more irritable while shedding
Awhhhh he / she is so cutttte when he / she stuck out his tongue 🥰
My leopard gecko kinky crawls into my hand when I put it in the tank! It’s so cute she won’t go to anyone else in the house lol and she’ll give me kisses through the tank glass
aw thats so sweet :)
I’m 10 years old and I’m trying to convince my mom to get me Leopard gecko I’ve done so much and I mean months of research (on your channel)
Me too!
By the way, I'm using my mom's account
lol same i stayed up all night writing a report
I know it might seem discouraging seeing the dislikes but don't phase yourself and your valid opinion just because some people didn't like called off on buying pets that are not suited for them and are incapable of taking care them PROPERLY!!!
Yes I can get a pet from a pet store.. Then what? A good pet owner isn't one where their pet barely survives in bad conditions and surely not one that says my pet doesn't need these stuff, he is perfectly fine. I am glad you did your previous video. Your knowledge and experience is tremendously important 💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you 💕💕
My parents might get me a Leo for my birthday in March.... I’ve been wanting to get one for 2 years and I showed them some of ur videos and that has made them (hopefully) change their minds! I’ve done absolutely loads of research around half is mainly from ur channel so just wanted to say thankyou!!
I think being informed both why you should or should not buy a pet are equally valid videos. I've always had a soft spot for leopard geckos and am considering buying one soon. Your videos are so well presented and very informative!
thank you :D :D
Thank you for making a pros and cons video! It helps me know if I would be a good fit before I start researching more
I personally would never see myself getting a reptile of any sort. They just don’t really appeal to me and I don’t feel I’d be able to give them the proper care. However, I love watching your videos. :) I find them super interesting. You approach many different topics on reptile care, and I find myself knowing a lot about something I won’t have!
I love the way you say "gecko"! It brings me a lot of joy!!
I am getting a leopard gecko for my class i am so excited !
I had a bearded dragon and he recently passed, i was very sad cause I loved him so much and I didn’t wanna just not have one but I decided I want to try more reptiles so I want to look at leopard geckos
OMG LEOPARD GECKOS R SO FLIPPING CUTE
thank u so much for your channel u helped me get my first leopard gecko
If there's one piece of advice I could give to anyone considering getting a leopard gecko its THE TOES! When I bought my leo and her sister (my 1st ever lizard) from the pet store, I realized she's missing most of her toes and I was really confused. I thought that it was because she was kept in a shared enclosure, so the others have bitten at her feet like fish would, but soon I've realized she seems to have some issues with shedding her skin compared to other geckos, so after one more lost finger, now I know she has to have a warm foot bath every single time she sheds and I have to remove the pieces from her feet myself. I've read tons of articles on proper leo husbandry before I got them, but not a single one of them mentioned the possibility of the gecko losing fingers from stuck sheds ...
@@prostekai jasně, idk maybe I just might've missed that information... somehow... but whoever had been taking care of her before me, including the staff of the petstore (Palladium) mustve obviously "missed" that piece of info as well, among other stuff, e.g. they tried to sell me some calci-sand with them. So I dont think its harmful to throw this in the comments under similar type of videos
I think it can be something people look over. You definitely have to be patient and be careful when removing stuck shed, I imagine some people just cba to remove it :(
@@prostekai He's probably lucky then, but I would personally never risk that. I use the coconut brick substrate and I keep seeing my geckos digging in it, licking it, sometimes they eat a piece that got caught on the cockroaches' legs and whenever I'm cleaning their tank it seems it ehm.. just went right through undigested. Concerning the shop, Palladium is the huge shopping center close to Staroměstské nám. in Prague, I believe the store is part of the "Pet Center" chain, so one might think this would be one of their more representative stores, but... probably not. Anyway, sand seems to be still quite popular in CZ, whenever I check some of the online places people use for selling reptiles, I never fail to find a few pics of leos on sand. Or buy 2 get 1 free offers, those are almost as good..
My gecko is the opposite of yours she's always trying to run anywhere anytime she's insane
She's also really fast which doesn't help when she runs under a wardrobe
Gizmo is absolutely adorable! 🦎
So True
This is awesome advice thank you
I’ve been watching your videos and talking to my mom about getting one for Christmas. I’ve just fell in love with leopard geckos. I want to name mine Cosmo.
I swear when they face sideways, they look like velociraptors from JP and JP world but they're so cute and adorableeeee... 😂😊
In my experience, leopard geckos don’t intimidate people as much as most other reptiles. They see the smaller size and their rounded head and think that they’re adorable. It help with family members or friends who are afraid of reptiles.
yes :) I think also because they always look like they're smiling at you haha
I love my skittles. I have had her since January. I learned she likes to listen to music. She would stay still until the song is finished and then moved. Since I have her she had shed 14 times.
aw that's so cute!! :D
My gecko turns 16 and February. His names Howard and he’s awesome 😌
What i am wondering is if you only want to have one leopard gecko and you want to give it a variety of insects, won't a lot of your feeder insects turn into beetles? What do you do with those?
I have several snakes and lizards and my leopard gecko has by far the most personality, even more so than my bearded dragon! I adore them all but she certainly has a special place in my heart! 💕🦎
aww that's so sweet :)
Ive had my Larry the leopard gecko (haha) for a month now, and just comes out when he knows its feeding time, and doesnt let me handle him as much, he just keeps to himself, i hope he trusts me more down the road
aw sweet :) have you tried the 'scoop technique' as i call it, where you scoop them up?
@@leopardgeckotalk thanks for the reply! Best day ever!
Not so much as scoop as carnival claw gently from the sides, and tend to put my thumb on his back when he is on my hand wanting to avoid him falling, i will try tonight to scoop him as you do and not put the thumb, thank you for all the videos you make
(my Larry is 6 months old)
i love your videos you are helping me and many other Ppl. keep going:)
I'm pretty sure I have the most brilliant leopard gecko ever. He is so smart, beyond the things I've heard other geckos doing. I love my 5 geckos ✋💗
Just wondering, are any of them housed together?
@@fionashepley478 Never Never Never
I totally love your shirt.
I've had my Leopard Gecko for a little over a year now and My Merlin is the greatest.... I have watched your videos since last October and you have helped me so much with how to take care of him and I thank you for it.
aww thank you :D
@@leopardgeckotalk no thank you .... ❤ your so very welcome. Positive vibes to you and your geckos
I love the way you talk.
can you feed them dried crickets or mealworms? i’ve seen some places say absolutely not but some places say yes
Kennedy Lynn best not to as they have no nutritional benefits for your gecko because they have not been gutloaded and they are pretty much just unnecessary
@@alicemartin5279 so pretty much live insects?
@@ratskate9951 yeah
I may be getting a leopard gecko next year so I am doing as much research as possible. I am going to adopt tho. Also thank you for commenting on one of my videos it really means the world to me 😊. Have a great night and keep up the amazing work.
Ah nice :D and no problem :D Thank you!!
IM SO EXCITED IM GETTING A LEOPARD GECKO BY CHRISTMAS WODHSJ
jqnaa uwu ME TOO WOO
Got it yet?
How is the little thang? If you have gotten it yet haha
alyssa wain he’s so cuteee 🥺🥺 i totally recommend getting one they’re so easy to take care of! and they’re safe to be around little kids, like my 4 yr old brother :))
jqnaa uwu Thats so great! I have one already, but I agree with you, supper
easy to take care for:)
Hello! I'm thinking about getting a leopard gecko, but before I do, I want to make sure I do all the research I can. I barely know anything about them, so if anyone has any tips for me, that'd be great! Thanks!
Mabey try different bugs to see what your gecko likes the most also I would say to start off with a small 15 gallon tank to Star with 0:54 as a baby gecko then go up to around 20 to 25 gallon tank when they are a little bigger also no calcium sand. It is so dangerous for them to digest and then they can become very impacted and then not eat.
@saborblaze762 Okay thank you! I still haven't gotten a leopard gecko yet but it's definitely something I want to do 😁
For the enclosure I also go for 3ft minimum but I have had worse, my Leo was a rescue that was kept in a funiarium because "they grow to the size of their enclosure"
OMG I haven’t subscribed after watching all these videos I didn’t even notice I’m subscribing for sure
I now hear that 20 gallon tank estimate and wonder if it's really true. I mean, I don't think I'm "spoiling" her, but I I recently bought my pet a new enclosure. I bought a 36x18x12 Exo Terra enclosure for her because I had her in a 20 gallon long aquarium but it just looked too small for her... and she's got to be around 6-8 months old right now. She's still got a ways to grow.
i’m looking into getting a leopard gecko and i’m wondering if i can use a 15 gallon tank for it and if it will work for the gecko
I just love my Leopard Gecko Altair , he's my buddy and pal , he's a sub adult Striped Tremper and I've had him since July of this year , I bought him from a breeder at a reptile exspo , he's so fun and personality amazing , he's been in a state of brumation and only yesterday night came out to say hello , all I can say is I love my Leopard Gecko
aww thats sweet :)
HEYY! My Juvenile leopard gecko (that’s I got yesterday) has been sleeping for over 13 ish hours, and its almost 9pm and I put his worms and fresh water in this terrarium, but he just went back to sleep, is there something I should do?
love your videos i just got one i did have a bearded dragon for 6 years but he died 2 mouths a go
I love your Chanel!!❤️ I have a leopard gecko named gizmo
Thank you :D :D
I'm getting a gecko probably in a couple months (like 3-5) I have watched as many videos as I could looked at all the products needed started saving money knowing how much I still need ($87 something amout change) I know his name will be noodle and a lot of other stuff
