Hi could you please do a pink tongue skink care video
If you get young captive bred Tokays, and work calmly and consistently, they can become wonderful pets. It takes a lot of time and patience though. The Satanic Leaf tailed geckos are very cool looking, and tempting, but we have heard that they can be a bit more sensitive and tricky to care for.
Same goes for Amazon tree boas which have an unwarranted rep based a lot on WC individuals
Takes a week pretty easy just clever & territorial lizzards
Great choices! I want a Satanic leaf tailed and a Tokay so bad. I love Tokays spiciness but man they seem like they would be really rewarding to get to Reptiliatus's level of tame. Love his tokay family so much
Dayyan is the man!
I agree, but as someone who has a CB tokay, believe me it is much harder to do than appears....I have had him for almost 2 years now and he is JUST starting to eat off tongs for me, I love to watch him hunt though. Something not talked about much is just how sharp their teeth are, mine has sliced my knuckles open without biting me, just grazed me with the side of his mouth.
After having Leos for years, i had the opportunity to rescue an african fat tail and i absolutely adore the little guy. They seem to be much more docile and relaxed. My Leos have always been good about handling and hanging out, but none of them have ever really been a fan of the initial pick up and I have to do the hand-treadmill for a second. Then they like to walk around on my arms/hands. My AFT on the other hand will step up on my hand and not do much more than look around the entire time ive got him out, even if I give him a little rub on the head or back. 10/10, highly recommended
For anyone watching that wants a tame tokay. Get one and put it in an area you spend a lot of time at.
They'll warm up to you in no time!
Had my tokay for less than a year and he's gone from biting the heck out of me to licking my hand and jumping into my lap from his tank if he wants to hang out. He's not food motivated at all but is very curious and likes to explore! Definitely one of my friendliest reptiles in my collection! Couldn't recommend them more!
You have a rare docile one dude, don’t recommend those kind of geckos when they commonly are aggressive.
@@Gekkco I have multiple that were all ''aggressive'' when they came to me. Just takes patience.
@@jayc7660hey should i get a tokay gecko or crested gecko
3:48 the switch to Diamond 😂 my kids all agree they want a bearded dragon thanks to Diamond. So we're in the process of saving money for the tank and set up.
Bro💀 the freeze frame of his gecko jumping in the air at 3:47 has me so dead 😭😭
so funny
so amazing of you to talk about the stenodactylus , i love them , owned a few back in the day and thinking about getting them back in the collection
I love em too!
If I gonna be honest your top 5 geckos was what got me into your channel and gave me the idea to get a crestie so I'm glad you've remade this vid :)
Thanks for keeping Diamond in the ad break 🥰 Love that beardie. I'm so smitten on crested geckos, they're almost mythical looking
The JUMP 😂
Recently went helping in Morocco and found so many stenodactylus and fell in love with them, so adorable and every one we found had such different markings, some were just stunningt. I would love to have one as a pet. Those or a Helmeted gecko, which we also found tonnes of.
Love this series. Love this channel love your animals🐢🐍🦎
You are an incredible youtuber thank you for making my day
I really appreciate that!
There are just so many great geckos. I have a ton of rescued leos, a weirdly bad-tempered crested, and bunch of both Yellow-Bellied & Hawaiian Mourning Geckos. The MGs are so little & cute, they're probably my favorite with their faint calls, fast breeding, and hyper personalities, but I can see why a lot of people get rid of them not long after buying them. They tend to easy to miss in their tanks & they take a bit of patience to really see interacting. Tokays, Giant Days, Leachies, and now stenodactylus are also on my list to get.
Great video as always
One of the first videos of yours that I watched introduced me to Gargoyle geckos, and I've basically been obsessed since.
Excellent list. Love geckos!!🦎❤️🦎
Thank you for putting tokays on the list I got my first one at age 14 but they are so fun and if you work with them you can handle them now I’m addictive I got 19 of them and won’t ever get a creasted gecko
Thanks for another awesome video! ❤🎉
Great video 👍 you could also add to the list, Viper Geckos. They get to 3 to 4 inches as adults and are great little hunters that can live together. I have 2 adults, 2 hatchlings (so far) and 24 eggs incubating 😮. Their care is very easy, probably similar to the Sand Dune gecko.
Thanks for a great video! I normally go for DIY content related to my own builds and videos, but this is great stuff!
wicked idea
I remember being really exited for my first Tokay gecko, it wild caught. Ofcourse it had parasites, never gained weight and ended up starving soon after purchase. (He got dusted crickets often, was kept in an 18x18x36, and had optimal hiding and misting). I still miss him.
My friend got bit by a tokay gecko and it wouldn't let go!
Omg i am just literally coming back from herping for the sand geckos , theyre native where im from but unfortunately came out to late yo see them, also kinda spooked to go out too deep in the dunes by my own. Great vid!
I got 3 short fingered geckos in a 15 gallon enclosure and they are so funny together but what the dune geckos like is having a dry sandy area for them to burrow and the other half of their enclosure make sure u have it with jungle earth mix bc they also like moist spots too which u can learn about on my channel I've been taking care of them for years. Best little geckos to own.
I have dune geckos being shipped to me right now! I love them and can wait till they start running around in their enclosure
Crested geckos will always be my fav! But I loved owning Leo's! And I've always wanted a gargoyle gecko!
gargs are great! my gecko is handleable for a time, but she quickly tires out of it because they love the dark. she gets sick of the light and they can be a little jumpy so i don’t like to handle her in darker settings, but i can pick her up and place her on my shirt or in the sleeve and she’ll be fine. i don’t have to chase her around like some others i’ve heard
I’m new to the reptile hobby and really want my main focus to be geckos glad that you made this video
Same!!!
Chicken is the best name! The satanic leaf tail is literally the coolest gecko to me! Great video Adam
Great list
thank you!
You are the best TH-cam ever have a awesome day have a cool day have a absolute wonderful day nice work Wicked wickens reptile
thank you so much!
I think this is a hot cause I see 5he exact same thing from this person every upload
😂😂😂 Chicken yeeting herself into oblivion 😂😂🤣
Is it possible for you to do a video on the best arid species? Anything that thrives in low humidity and high heat. Thank you for all the videos keep it up!
The Stenodactylus seem like a better idea every time you talk about them 🤔
Love Chicken's shenanigans. 😂
Well done 👍
You made geckos interesting
Have a good day
Loved it part three pls
soon :)
🙌🏻🙌🏻 African fat tail gecko. My absolute favorite gecko. I love both of mine.
Lmao i saw the moment Chicken decided it was a good time to take a leap of faith XD that killed me
Love this content 😅
I appreciate that
That was sooooo smooth the way you transitioned into the ad 😂😂
hahaha thanks
Love me some Tokay geckos ❤ the various Strophurus species would be great for this list. My Strophurus spinigerus has such a personality. He's really pretty as well. The inside of his mouth is this deep, dark teal. Stunning!
Would you consider a captive bred tokay a good beginner reptile in terms of care?
Ive wamted a Tokay Gecko since i fist saw them on your channel a while back. They are super cool even if theyre a little bitey lol
Nice to meet you Chicken ❤
I've got a crestie, leo, gargoyle, and chahoua. All are great and have their own personalities. If I had to choose my crestie, Spyro would be #1
Chicken kept flying the coop... cluckin’ chicken!
😂
Hey Adam, I've been watching for a couple of years and I've a question.. Can you do a video about Madagascar Giant Day Geckos? 😊
Finally a gecko video! They're so much fun, I can't get enough of them lol Love those AFTs!
One of my cresties is named nugget so I feel you Adam 😂😂
OMG Tokay gecko is like the coquí, the sound they made is their names (coquí is a little frog) 😍
I’ve talked to a few people who have said that captive bred Tokay geckos can be super chill.
The way he started waving around diamond while talking about the sponsor.
Where would you suggest finding captive bred Dune Geckos? I’ve wanted them for years but can’t ever find them in the US
I have always wanted a red eyed crocodile skink....would you recommend or not? (For more context I haven't had my own reptile did have a snake when I was living at home, I have had horses, many many dogs including my current 3 labradors, currently have fish and way to many quail at the moment I haven't got a big house but can make use of every square inch 🤣🙈)
I love the Mourning Gecko!
What do you think about repashy grub pie as a stable diet for leopard geckos?
so cute
I have a female crested gecko called chicken she's about 12 years old that I know as I bought her as an adult around 12 years ago 😅 but good to see another chicken. I have 14 crested geckos (for now lol)
Do a care guide on dune geckos please I’m thinking of getting one
Adam’s names for his pets are the funniest thing ever 😂
hahaha wait til you meet the baby burms
Tons of Tokays in the Phillippines as well, somehow they seem to have that wild brown and green look. I dont think I’ve seen the blue and orange in those regions.
What do you think about the green day gecko family? Can you,do a video on them?
We’ve got a leachie, a crested gecko, and a tokay. The leachie is my favorite.
just a quick question about african fat tailed geckos. is zoo med forest floor a good substrate?
i will never understand going to a coffee shop to do something on my computer that i could do at home on the couch lmao
I never understood it either but sometimes the energy helps, like being in a busy office. It's not for everyone but I do understand it now.
@@WickensWickedReptiles This. Being around others and a change of scenery can lift your energy levels sometimes.
I'm a fishkeeper mainly and have a very successful planted Platy tank. They've bred many times and do really well.
I've always wanted to get into reptiles and having been given the greenlight bye my wife I think its time I go for it.
I think I'll go for a lepord gecko first.
Awesome 🥰
thanks!
I own the top two in this
An albino african fat tail
And a orange/red blotch gargoyle
5:07 bro just grabbed his tail😂
Hey adam i was wondering if you can help me figure something out i cant decide either to get a uromastyx or a bearded dragon.
Love to hear Satanic Leaf Tails getting mentioned in your videos! They should be way more popular than they are!
My late bearded dragons name was Chicken ❤️ she was the BEST. I hope your chicken is just as wonderful as mine was 😊
African Fat Tailed Geckos all the way!! We own two of them and I love them so much. Calm, easy and fast to socialize, not too hard care requirements, good eaters and suuuppeerrr pretty & cute👍🏻
Definitely the perfect geckos for us :)
The crested gecko suddenly changed into a bearded dragon which after a few minutes suddenly changed back into a crested gecko. :)
Do the Dune gecko's eat sandworms? :)
Gargoyle's grow back their tail, unlike the crested. So no danger or ending up with a frog butt.
Btw im from where sand geckos occur naturally and humidity really depends on the species. Lichtenstiens dune gecks occur like 4 km from where i live and its 80 % humidity rn lol
I love my crestie. Will be getting a leopard gecko and blue tongue skink this year.
Good call on the top 5. Still room for another top 5. I know, crazy, right?😊
I would say a species of Australian Leafttail gecko instead of the satanic or other Leafttails. More hardy, handlable, great eaters and are active during the day
Could you please do a care video about a pink tongue skink I really want one and there are no care videos 😢
Chicken is a perfect name, my leachies names are Raisin and Sock lmao
Chicken jumps....you hear a SPLAT off screen....Next scene is with Bearded Dragon! LOL
Because you I got my first gecko ever thanx sooooooooooo much❤❤❤
thank you so much for supporting!
No problem thenk you❤❤
Listen, chicken was just trying to live her best life okay? 😂
Leachianus are my favorite
3:45 "I must fly"
saw that SPLAT coming a mile away xD
We used to have a lot of iranian fat tailed geckos where I was stationed. Come back from mission find 2 or three in your room. Super docile would just sit on our hands for hours. If I ever get one it will be a fat tialed just because of how much I liked them!
Dune geckos are tiny and they are the best geckos for me time to beg my parents I went from crested geckos to leopard geckos and now dune geckos. It would be helpful if you would tell me which is the cheapest and best of the three😀
miss my amazing leopard gecko i had before a ex gave it away. used to let him out to run around and crawl on me everyday and always had a fat muti colored tail. think im getting an albino leopard gecko soon
adorable!
2 seconds before the gecko jumped I said to myself “the gecko gonna jump*. 😅
I have a 5 foot BCI, and an adult male cb Tokay, the tokays bite is 100x worse than the BCI's. The Tokay is so agro that if I have to do anything cleaning in his cage I have to wear a fruit picking glove, it is leather and comes up to my elbow, just to protect myself from his lockjaw....if he bites my glove he will hold onto it like a prize for the next 2 hours while barking and screaming TO KAY. While I find it endearing as I rescued him from a house that had cats that would literally open his cage and torment him around the house, it is still troublesome to have a gecko that has a bit of heft to it and serrated teeth with lockjaw hanging onto you for hours on end made that mistake only once.
You are a natural born teacher, really enjoy these mini classes. How about a Leachie gecko, they are the largest and so cute in a chubby sort of way, Brian's are making lots of babies these days, thinking they love their new digs in
the Caladonian (sp.?) Room. Thanks You, see you soon.
Do many people have super leopard geckos? I only discovered them by accident recently.
“African fat tail geckos” YES, I love leos don’t get me wrong, but people don’t really consider AFTs. They’re naturally beautiful, they’re very chill and super underrated!
Can leopard geckos eat other insects instead of crickets? Like meal worms
When the gecko jumped off his shoulder the geckos said
Me vo mata imago Weee
Bro I have no idea these things exist on our planet 😮
I see it first in a music video and I search for it
I actually cheered when AFT geckos were number 1 LOL. I'm such a proud gecko Mama!
Chicken is the perfect example of why my large female leopard geckos name is “splat”…
Chicken had enough of the paparazzi.
so true!
There so cute they should be in the top twenty at least
So cute!
