- This video is my Giant Day Gecko Care Guide. Giant Day Geckos are one of the most beautiful reptiles you will ever see, and they've become very popular in the reptile hobby. But I can tell you that my Giant Day Gecko, Carl, is one of the most challenging reptiles that I've ever cared for. So aside from the basic care, I wanted to talk about the reality of owning a giant day gecko. If you're thinking about getting a giant day gecko, watch this video, and make sure you're prepared for what you might be getting yourself into. Although, with that being said, I wouldn't trade Carl for the world. I hope you enjoy the video.

Giant Day Geckos are beautiful 👍
They really are. But it's lucky for them that they are, because they're so hard to keep. They need to have something to make up for that.
Lol I know it’s not but I feel like the thumbnail was like specially curated for me. Hype to watch!
Ahh...I see.
Love these things I’ve had to catch mine so many times can’t grab em need a bowl or a strainer and a cardboard or sumthing flat to catch them oooooh they love to escape and poop on your freshly cleaned glass
I use a rectangular Tupperware bowl to catch him. It’s nerve racking every time he gets out.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles mine just escaped and I made a vid catching him lol there fun not for beginners at all so hard to tame took me 4 months cuz the guy grabbed him and made his tail drop now he’s all great and tamed
Awesome video, Carl is very cute! I’ve always strayed away from these guys because I would be more comfortable housing them in something closer to 36” tall or larger glass enclosure. This is way to heavy however 😅
I agree. I wouldn’t go any smaller then that. Bigger is always better.
I am assembling two 36" terrariums to make them 72" high.
I am going to make 4 green geckos in it.
Make it a little more comfy for Carl! Put some more bamboo and some more plants! I think he would love it. Just make sure he has places to absorb the ubv and keep the rest bushy! Keep up the videos man! Love them! 👍🏼
Thank you, I’ll put some thought into that.
I agree it looks kinda empty
Also i have a pair of giant day geckos and they arent hard to keep at all
Hoping for eggs soon
When people say they can’t hold them I can do it because I can care for them very well and I tame them
That’s cool. I wish I could get that from mine. The best I’ve gotten is if he stays calm while I change his food. 😜
My day gecko drinks from the bowl I got footage u can use some of it if u want love the channel by the way also how long have u owned carl
Thanks. I’ve had Carl for almost 2 years. I’ve put water in the second spot in his feeding ledge but I’ve never seen him drink from it, but I’m not surprised if some actually do.
@@WonderfulWorldReptilesgood option for both but ya don’t need to spray 2x a day depending where ya are if your in Arizona then yeah but it’s dependent on your temp inside I do mine 1x a day sometimes I skip it cuz I’m in Oregon hella humid here temperate rainforest but that’s all love the content
Can you like just take it to your hand and put him like a chest or somewhere else? And are they like humanfriendly?
Unfortunately that would be no to both of those. There are a few videos out there of people who have tame and handleable phelsuma grandis, but those are very rare exceptions. It’s just the nature of the species that they are very hard to tame, very hard to handle, and difficult to move from one enclosure to another.
