Thank you for the lovely comments politely explaining what may have happened to cause this. I feel incredibly guilty for not seeing him emerge soon enough - despite checking on him all evening. I thought everyone would be having a go at me, when I'm already beating myself up enough about it🥺. Nevertheless, all we can do is learn from this. I should have moved his tub into the mesh enclosure sooner. So if you currently have a chrysalis waiting to hatch out, make sure it'll be able to get up, and hang upside down to allow those wings to pump up. This is the mesh enclosure I have btw amzn.to/2SQPgWR 💕
My crested geckos nose is turning white and it has a red spot next to her left nostril 🙆
Of course, we all make mistakes love! The important thing is that you care deeply for them, and anyone that feels for these precious babies as much as I do is someone I can get behind! Happy Mother's day, from a fellow mother of dragons, arachnids, and inverts!
I'm planning on getting a lepord gecko I was wondering does mealworms or Dubai roaches have more protein and are they better for them
@@lordcactuschild9325 dubia roaches are great, and likely have a better protein to fat ratio, but it's always good to switch up feeders. I feed mine dubias, mealsquirms, black soldier fly larvae, superworms, and occasionally crickets (rarely), all dusted with a 1:1:1 ratio of multivitamin/calcium/vitamin B complex.
@@lordcactuschild9325 dubias are best if you're planning on breeding them yourself. I have a thriving dubia colony, and they are great to keep; no smell, no mess, they don't take up space, and are easy to feed!
The world would be a much better place if more people were as kind as you!
Yea
Unless you are a moth..
@@Solaaris1 Please stop being rude to her. she is kind and made a mistake. mistakes happen and i'm sure you have done some to.
@@CadenKunich Please be quiet. You have no idea what you are talking about.
@@Solaaris1 Unless you are a "Solaaris"
The reason why his wings were not fully developed was because when they are out they immediately need to hand on something and let the wings go out!
Yeah, i wish I'd acted sooner and moved him as soon as I saw that little slit in his chrysalis :(
No offense, but butterflies come from a chrysalis and moths come from cacoons
@@acciismus Definition of chrysalis according to Google:
'a quiescent insect pupa, especially of a butterfly or moth.'
Cocoons only apply to insect larvae that spin silk when they pupate. Those that aren't are called pupa
Both come from a chrysalis. The chrysalis is the pupa itself. A cocoon is sort of a protective bag spun around the chrysalis, which some but not all moths create. Silkmoths do, but hawk moths don’t.
@@voxfoxjj3955 hawkmoths do make cocoons around themselves (at least mine did, with a combination of silk and leaves and stuff)

I found an elephant hawk moth caterpillar in my garden last week, it was huge and it was pretending to be a snake, flailing around but when I gently picked it up it calmed so I put it back into a part of the the garden where it would be safe. I feel so privileged to have found one of these in my garden and I hope it happily makes a pupae there and turns into a most beautiful elephant hawk moth xxx
I raise moths and butterflies and it happens alot when they cant be released cause the wings never fold out properly
Yeah :(
We had a elephant hawk caterpillar (we think ) and it went really still so we left it a while then when we checked it there were loads of little babies in the tub . I thought they only laid eggs or babies once they were moths . Is this normal ? Thanks
@@gemmajenkins8858 it might have had parasites cause as a caterpillar it cant have babies
You need to make sure there's a stick in there that's standing diagonal so that he can climb and dry his wings as soon as they hatch out it's very important or else they'll never fly.
This little guy has no idea how lucky he is to be in the hands of such a caring and gentle person. I believe even if you think it's on you for his wing, I feel as if he was supposed to stay with you even if it was under a misforturnate happening. Some things are just meant to be and happen in the strangest of ways. Regardless, you're giving him a fighting chance he could have never seen in the outside world. He looks like a happy little moth and I wish you the best of luck with him.
I’m glad these aren’t the deadly kind like last time 😭
Mark vaz can u subscribe to my channel ant day UK
No self advertisement
Ikr, I had rashes all the time I had those caterpillars, but I didn't think it was them, until we released them, got rid of their pop up house and the rash went away 🙈
Thanks
Did I miss something?!
I love how u love literally every animal❣️
Thank you 😊
Tip, marbles are better in the water because cotton can harbour bacteria. Great video!
How marbles soak up the water though
Big Yoshi they don’t. Just it means they can climb out easily.
@@thephasmidpharm459 true
ah that's interesting, I've never thought of that. Something to remember for the future :)
I bet water beads work, too! That's what I give my roaches 😊
The way the moth has taken to you is lovely
OMG HE IS SO CUTE
Thanks :D
I hatch sunbeetles and sometimes things like this happen. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Its good to learn what went wrong and don't beat yourself up over this, you have the kindest heart and all the best intentions.
Thank you, yeah I just feel terrible :(. I guess I do see similar things with my darkling beetles, you sometimes find one that hasn't quite developed properly.
I do like the different types of videos on this channel. There is only so much Ziggy content I can handle so stuff like this I find very enjoyable
haha Ziggy isn't in all the videos, sometimes it's Diego and people just assume it's Ziggy :')
Leopard Gecko I know, Diego is a bit more bulky and less rounded.
Brilliant! I had a pine hawk moth hatch last year. you have to be careful because they can damage their wings very quickly if they are in a confined space but I guess you know that😌
My zodiac sign is a leo and my parents say it's a lion but I always say No it stands for a leopard gecko.
haha, i'm a leo too :)
They are amazing! Gorgeous little cherubs, I love raising moths and butterflies. Such an incredible part of life! I have had this happen on a few occasions, it is heartbreaking. I would keep them, feed them, and let them explore the house to live out their lives in safety. When they hatch out they need to be able to hang upside down to properly spread their wings.
Yeah I wish I'd seen him sooner, my plan was to always pop his tub in the mesh enclosure when I saw him emerging, but it happened so quick. I'm absolutely gutted :/
@@leopardgeckotalk I know the feeling, don't beat yourself up, you're a good mommy. Happy mother's day, love.
i remember when i was out walking and i saw one of these on a pole and i was so confused because i had never seen a moth that big before haha
Ikr, they're crazy cool! I saw a hummingbird hawk moth in my garden last year and was like 😮😮 it's so cool!
Omg, hummingbird moths are frickin awesome! I've been admiring them since I was a child. Those and bumblebee moths are just something else. Used to let them land on my hand and walk all over me before taking off again. Such precious babies ❤❤❤
You think that is big? We had a moth fly in our house when I lived in Chicago. It was the size of a house sparrow! It flew around the living room a bit before I shooed it back out the front door.
@@poochiew.9302 indeed, while they are gorgeous they are quite small compared to some moths in the US, like the luna or polyphemus, which are definitely two of my favorite moths. Moths are so sweet and docile, I love interacting with them ❤
I get tiny moths that fly around in my house and when I saw one is these outside I was so shocked haha.
Love your honesty, brilliant video and narration. Ive learnt so much from your videos thank you. I’m sure it was nothing you did just one of those things ❤
I love moths I find moths that are very very cold and warm them up and then they are my pets and they live a very happy life
The *Lämp Słåÿęr has entered the facility*
That’s amazing leopard gecko.
Thanks :)
Just found a couple of elephant hawk moth caterpillars and your video inspired me to try care for them until next year. My daughters are very excited to see them! Thanks.
I really do appreciate you being honest with your audience. There are so many popular people who keep flaws about their pet's offscreen, but I LOVE your approach of "its nature, and things just happen." It is so true. Animals are born with imperfections all the time, some aren't even born. But we can't control if we get the perfect animal or not. All we can do is care for and love the animal we end up with.
Thank you, I feel really bad, I wish I would have seen him sooner and made sure he could spread those wings :( but I was checking on him all evening. Ah it's such a shame :(
Idk if it's the same for moths but with butterflies they hang upside down after emerging and flap their wings to dry them and so that blood will pump into them but your moth didn't have anything to do that in the container
Yeah, he just emerged so quickly that I didn't get chance to pop him tub in his netted enclosure to do that :( should have done it sooner.
Completely off topic but your nails are GORGEOUS they look so healthy and white
haha thanks :)
Oh my gosh hes so beautiful!! I wanted to tell you i'm getting a leopard gecko soon and to make sure im a great owner i have watched all of your videos at least 5 times!! thank you so much for inspiring me!! I love your videos and you know I got your merch too! Also happy VE day! xxxx
Aw thank you!! I'm glad I've been able to help! Thank you for getting merch too 😊💕 Happy VE Day too x
I'm an insect 🐝🦋 lover ....I love what you do
I’m going to be getting A Gecko in two Months, I have been watching your Videos And You helped me a lot! Thank you so much Your the best
I wish the best of luck to you!
A random Boxer dog Thank you! ❤️
Good luck!
Aww thank you! Good luck :D
Leopard Gecko Your The Best! Your Leo’s Are So heathy and Cute!
Mine broke out this morning and I only hope the garden Magpies don't spot it on the willow tree!
These things happen.
In future, any pupa you have must have immediate access to easily climbable vertical areas (I.e. a tall container with flyscreen on walls and ceiling) with ample depth to dangle from.
Then there should be no issues with its wings.
I’m sorry this happened to you!
He is a beauty 😀
Leopard gecko I am so sorry for all the mean comments this video. Everyone makes mistakes and it's ok. I'm really sorry.
I honestly think that moths are the bane of all existence but the way this video was made i honestly am starting to warm up to them! Babys steps lol!
I’ve never seen a moth that color! That’s so cool!
ikr 😍😍
Aw,its so beautiful,ur such a good mother for raising stuff
Thank you :)
This was super kewl. I thought it was lovely, glad you posted; )
This is some wholesome content ❤️
I always get excited for your videos!

I want to thank you for teaching me how to care for a gecko. I have mine now and I love him so much! I posted this now because it’s your latest videos and I wanted you to see this.

MOTHRA LEO
BRUHHH
Uncle jeremy! Uncle Jeremy!
Want me to post you all the Caterpillar Hawks that eat my baby plants? I have to dig them up as they overwinter in the soil and release them in the woods!
ohh no 🙈🙈😅
I had an elephant moth live in my garden
When it said hawk moth, it reminded me of mlb
Awww he is so cute in close up. He is a lucky moth. He had hatched out in the wild with malformed wings He would not have survived but He will now as He has you to look after him :0)
Thanks 😊
Hi I also raise hawkmoths, last year I had a couple of pupae that were really weird and came to nothing. But lots more who are fine, just released a female today, I really don't like letting them go if there is only one, but the other s seem not to be ready yet and I have already had her a couple of days, had no luck trying to get her to fed, even the flowers did not attract her, but when I put her on the plants outside her proboscis came straight out and she was fine, released her to a lovely wild area where I have been releasing elephant hawk moths for 4 years now.
Congratulations, homes!
Thanks :)
Omg I love your videos!!!!!! Thank you so much for all of the education and teaching me how to care for my lizards 🦎 🤍
Aw no problem, thank you :)
^-^found a moth in my room and it has a beautidul green-black-brown wing
It’s so pretty 🥰 congrats
Thank you :)
Awww they are so cute.
Hawk moth...
MIRACULOUS SIMPLY THE BEST UO TO THE TEST WHEN THINGS GO WRONG!!!
Omg I love how excited you are!!! 💜💙🇨🇦😆
haha i was literally shaking! 😂
My crested gecko loves getting natural UVB. It now likes me and doesn't run from me.
Ah nice :) When you say natural UVB, do you mean you take it out in the sun? Because ideally they should be left during the day.
But if it's sun through the window, remember UVB can't travel through glass and you have to watch the tank doesn't over heat.
*oh my goodness* my leo has stuck shed on her toes , it's been 3 hours and I've gotten it off of 4 of them
If it doesn't come off in 2 days, you can take a moist cotton-swap and _gently_ "roll" and pick it off her toes. If you let it sit too long it could cut off the blood flow to her toes and she could lose one. This happened to my first leo. It is very important you don't just let it sit.
@@crownclowncreations I know , I've taken 3 ½ hours of day to take it off of her toes, it really is quite frustrating
@Jacobs Herps I knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww read the comment , what do you think I've been doing for the past three hours
@@justsomememingbigyoshiwith4832 3 ½ hours? That's a long time. It makes it a lot easier if you use a moist cotton-swab or give them a bath first :) I'm glad to hear it's taken care of. Hopefully it'll be a little easier next time.
@@crownclowncreations she is only a year-and-a-half-old so her toes are really small
May the 4th be with him or her
So adorable!!
Thanks :)
Gorgeous colors!!
Hey dude. That nature. We just got to help them out and do the best. Not everything gonna turn out good like him. But this is so cool
Thank you :)
He's just beautiful Rebecca ❤️.
Thank you :)
Wow that is a beautiful moth my friend
I found one of these in my bathroom this morning, I’m terrified of moths lol he couldn’t fly and didn’t no why so I’m glad I found this video as I realised he probably just hatched and can not fly yet, he was flapping his wings etc I’ve put him in the garden in the hedges so hope he survives and nothing preys upon him, must admit I was so scared moving him lol
Oh that is precious!!!
Thanks :)
Omg I was literally thinking when you were going to post!😂 I love your videos!
haha :) Thank you!
Great video! Love all of them ☺️❤️ super cool moth too!
Thanks :D
''ITS SO FLUFFY!!!!''
You mean FLOOFY CUTE CREATURE :3
Okay you need to know that you need to put a stick in there when they first hatch they have to hang upside down to fully open their wings. That is why his wings did not open all the way they will stay like that permanently you only have a small window for them to open completely and they have to hang upside down when they first emerge. I'm sorry you did not know that but now you do please read this comment so you know in the future and do better for them.
I once did this with a sphynx moth but in the wild
Its beautiful!!
Aww he floof 🥺🦋
yass 😊
such a pretty moth🥺
Thanks :)
I found a dessert stink beetle infront of my house. I have no idea how it got to England but I kept it and it seems happy.
Ah that's crazy!
He's so beautiful and cute. I really think he likes you. I'm still waiting for my own moth to come out of its cocoon.
Thanks :) Ah good luck!
I think he's trying to hang upside down so the blood can slow down to his wings
This is one of the few cases where I could say that a moth is cute.
A little bit scary
Awh!!! Whoa, ze little moth looks so cute!!! It is colorful😲🌈 🦋
Edit: Soooo fuzzy!!!
Edit #2: Wow, he is so cool!!! But yeah, it was a good decision to not release him... I feel sorry for him! ☹️ Take care of him!!!!🙂
Thank you :) Yeah he gets the vip treatment now :)
It’s like Nemo and his lucky fin.
omg yes!
Sooo cute
It’s almost as if you have to incubate them so the humidity is right
Such a cool 😎 moth ⭐️ ✨
Thanks :)
Hi I just found a caterpillar one in my garden and thought I would try take care of him/her so they can make it through winter I guess. I was wondering if u could give me some advice? He’s currently sitting in a tub the size of a butter tub wish some compost, flowers, and leaves off some plants in my garden. I really wanna give him a good life :((
ido love insect, thx for this video . Yes, right when he hatched he needed place to climb, mash or smth
Good video 😀
Ah yes. Variety is key when feeding leopard geckos.
😂I'm joking! Hes cute, very cute.
haha i'm sure they've eyed him up, but no haha
My son has an oleander hawk moth caterpillar and she will turn into a pupa soon. I meant she is the caterpillar turning to pupa
I had a elephant hawk moth that did that and this year I had 3 hatch all went successfully one on the may1 one on may 7 and one on may 8
My crested died. I have a weird feeling, because he escaped on the first day and died of dehydration. It’s like I need another reptile, but I don’t wanna go back into arboreal species. How did you deal with pet loss.
This happened to my Luna moth. I kept the cocoon in large environment with another cocoon. The other moth (Cecropia) came out just fine.
Aww yeah, like his little under the bigger one is withered and white - i don't know if that's due to it not being able to spread, or it was always going to be a bit weird.
@@leopardgeckotalk I know that when you purchase cocoons, the breeders will keep them in the fridge. Supposedly, if left in the fridge too long, their poor wings dry in the coocoon.
Please help my geko is no eating please do your best please help I really love my lepord geko so much 😢😣
