Let other people have cats and dogs! Jungle Bob is here to show you that owning a pet reptile or amphibian is not as crazy as you might think. In this video, he tells you five cool facts about leopard geckos.
Probably the number two animal in the pet world of lizards, after Bearded Dragons, are Leopard Geckos. Leopard Geckos are a terrestrial animal, meaning they live their life on the ground. And you'll find them in the Middle East, from Iran, Afghanistan, those types of areas, mountainous rugged terrain dominated by sand, dominated by very hot temperatures during the day and very cool in the evening. They are, therefore, an animal that's seldom seen during the day. They spend most of their time underneath the ground because of the high heat. They'll come out at dusk. They'll forage for their favorite food, which of course are insects. And they're quite visible at that time of the day.
I know a lot of military guys that are spending time over in those areas of the world and they tell me about the variety of colors and things they see on the Leopard Geckos in the wild. Primarily, they're spotted like a leopard, but through captive breeding we find them now in all different colors, all different patterns, solid yellow, solid black, striped. You name it, Leopard Geckos are being bred that way.
Cool facts about them. If you see up close, it's hard, but they have an ear on the side. Of course, one of the things that differentiates lizards from snakes. Snakes don't have any ears, but lizards do, for the most part. And the Leopard Gecko has got a very strange one in that if I put a flashlight on this side and shined it through, I could see right out his ear, through his other ear and out his body into the background. It's transparent. It's a solid ear canal, but I could see right through his head. So it gives him a lot of bad names, like he's an airhead and things of that nature. But that's not really true. It's just the way this animal's ear canals are formed.
Leopard Geckos shed their skin in patches. The Leopard Gecko kind of has a habit of covering his trail. What he'll do in the wild and in captivity is when he sheds his skin, he makes a meal of it to make it disappear so he can't be tracked. Very simple creature, the Leopard Gecko from the Middle East, Afghanistan, Iran. I guess they're not totally bad places. Checked out this cool lizard. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

"Dominated by sand." Bob please hand over your reptile expert card.
Adam Whitehead so true
Whole series should be changed to "Reptile guy getting videobombed by background monitor"
Whitephoenix he just wanted to be in a video
Lol
It’s a green iguana
please do not keep leopard geckos on sand
1:34 That iguana falling off the vine was cute!

Thanks you made my day
•Brody Clarkey w
lol
they don't like sand actually
kaite libert are they poisonous
Loaf bruh. Who told you this? Actually, they are! Salmonella on body makes you sick if u do not watch hands.
TheMeanieMaster I think he means the salmonella that causes you to get sick in the stomach that is found on the scales of the gecko. Not the dart frog type poison or something crazy like that!
So they hate sand and are not dangerous of hand washed
I have never seen yellow Geckos but I'm looking them up because I have a tribe of them in my backyard. They catch bugs underneath my porch light on the wall. So pretty.
That Lizard In The Background Was Like " WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEE"
1:37 the dragon on the background is acting like a cat. I love it.
Nice leopard gecko!!
They do not shed there skin in patches if that Is happening to you're leopard gecko you must take it to the vet right away, it means the gecko is not getting enough calcium.
that lizard in the background at 1:40 tho XD
Make a meet my pets
No one gonna talk about how he said “dominated by sand” what kind of sick joke is this
It cracks me up. Every single HowCast video with Jungle Bob that I watch has that one little camera hog Lizard in the background that just has to be seen. Haha LOL. xD
I see that in the description you say that there is lots of sand where leopard geckos come from; this is certainly not true, leopard geckos come from rocky places
Fiona Shepley Thank you, I was hoping I wasn't the only one thinking that!
Well there's different kinds of leopard geckos, some live in sandy areas and some live in rocky
Isaac collier no. actually, they are found in pakistan where no sand is located but rocks.
@@chiksilog6254 iran has rocks to lol
Awesome Gecko. They don't bite often, but fuck it hurts when they do. It surprises you when it happens too.
Lol the iguana was trying to say hello in the background.

Thanks for the share, awesome video to introduce geckos to people.
Ha ha the other reptile in the background, its like "dude can I be in the video....right screw you im gonna climb up a bit and make a drama out of getting back down!" Had to rewatch it like twice for that guy lol

can you use soil or dirt for them if you can't use sand?
My leopard gecko has slept a lot.hes not dead because if I move his water bowl which he can go under he'll get up and move around
I checked the comments too see if anyone notice the iguana in the back cx
The lizard in the background wants to play too...
Can anyone do a care/tips video for a Sudan Plated Lizard? A lot of the care sheets online are often varied and I can't really find anything solid!
the bearded dragon in the background flipping out
1:38 the lizard in the background was waving lol
I ❤reptiles and anything that's cold blooded
the lizard in the background omg its so funny
Sometimes the reptiles in the background steal the show
Can you please do gold dust day gecko facts
Anybody else notice the iguana climbing and falling of the vine?.... He's still sooo cute tho 😂😊
Guyssss leopard geckos are not dessert animal
Kelly Almeida but actually, they are desert reptiles
The description of a leopard gecko is Desert Rocky, which is rare cases of sand, mostly clay, rock, and dirt.
🐊 are awesome! >:)
I like normal style ones because my first gecko (my only gecko) is normal
Look at the dude in the background! 😂😂
B.J.Andrews i saw him in the backround falling off a branch trying to escape
my leopard gecko always gets scared and poops everywhere when i pick her up any advice to make her calmer?
Thank you for the help, I am handling her correctly my other is very friendly and I think the one that does not let me hold her just does not want to be held in general
OMG !!!!WERE CAN I BUY THEM FROM !!😁😁😁😁
what type of leopard gecko is in the video?
Cool
1:34 Over on the left you can see his other lizard begging for attention :p
1:34 lizard in background *come on come on...falls AH FUCK!!!!* 1:51 shit!
1:35 flying lizard on the background haha
I tried looking everywhere and looking up on the internet but dose anyone know how to make a black pearl gecko
+Mark Chapman its really hard to do that thats all i know :D
That lizard in the back and leopard geckos do not like sand they come from rocky areas
are bearded dragons compatible with other reptiles
Sand? No hard packed clay
What's the spiderman lizard I the background
Geckos actually try to avoid sand
aw yeah!
Does anyone know what morph this leopard gecko is?
do thye bite im wanting to buy one I need one thatn dosnt bike help please?
What morph is that gecko?
I would get one but, they need to eat so much, and I already have a Pacman frog, and a tree frog
Actually I'm pretty sure that the leopard gecko does not live in sand but more rocky terrain and its dangerous for them to live in sand cause they could get a impaction if they eat it
They eat their shredded skin?! I didn't know that o-o
I hate autocorrect I meant shedded
in the back a iguana was jumping around
cool
Mine come out when they feel like it .
Don't use sand
why
+angel davis The gecko can get impaction.
+iMerkz ok thanks man
you are cool
Solid black 😭
Who seem that big lizard fall in the background
I have one!!!
what animal in the left background? he is moving around in every video pls tell me the name
Idk. It's some sort of bigger reptile like an iguana or a Komodo dragon
Rovenzoo i dont think its a komodo :D
I'm pretty sure that's a Monitor
I used to have 2... both of there joints swelled up and they died..
my lepord gecko is tempted to bite me when i pick him
up can you help me
When you try to pick him up come from the side they get scared when you come from the top and mess with him at least 1 time a day but dont mess with him to much they dont like to be messed with alot
i have a tangerine hypo leo who sleeps like a human. he wakes up at 6 o'clock in the morning and is in bed by 10. he also sleeps in his little tiki at night and waits for me to feed him in the morning.
Ty Paw
well yeah hes always hungry in the morning. i have a infrared light on at all times, it gets about 85 degrees. and during the day i turn on the lights in my room. does he need more?
no that should be fine at the temp, normally room temp works
*****
yeppers! i have a lamp and a heat pad for him. it doesn't get the right temps with just the lamp so i keep them both on usually :)
I think i spoke too soon, now he sleeps like a true leo! i guess he just wasn't acclimated to his environment enough! sorry for the trouble!
Cool! What do you feed I just got a baby 2 days ago and I did lots of research for large adults are pinkies ok???
I miss mine :(
Hey guys I got a leapord gecko named Ozzie and I am keeping him in a five gallon until he gets older. I'm not sure how old he is but he is 4.5 inches in leingth. When should I move him up to my 10 gallon? Also what is the ideal amount of crickets I should feed him a day? Thanks!
When he gets close to 6 inches put him inside the ten gallon, that tank will due for his entire life but if u want to give him more space a 20G long tank is perfect for his entire life also. If it's a male then perhaps a 20G is a better option since males due get larger then females. As a juvenile feed 5 or so crickets depending on their size and wait to see if he eats it all, if he does and continues to look around licking and roaming, toss in a small amount more until U can tell he has lost interest and is full, some geckos can eat a dozen in one feeding just saying. PLEASE remember to feed your gecko at dusk or true night, and always gut load your crickets via fruits or commercial cricket food or both. Don't feed during the day because that's when your gecko is sleeping. Enjoy your gecko they can live up to 15 years even more in rare cases U have years of fun and joy ahead.
Ty Paw
alright will do! thanks for the info ty!
My youngest sister got a baby gecko yesterday. I was worried my other sister's gecko will fight it because it is twice the size but now we can't separate them the bigger one is so protective of it and we only had it for a day.
Omg NO! You can't have a smaller one with a bigger one, the big one is probably "protecting" him as food
Emo Puppy I'm not worried the bigger one is just barley bigger. And the little one has a big attitude he kicked the older one out of his favorite spot one time.
Emo Puppy one more thing the older gecko knows not to eat them he has been with smaller geckos more than once so I see your warning thanks for concern really but they're fine.
Bobby Quigley Oh good, I thought it was like a big one with a tiny one. That's OK if they're together then
uhh, i heard leos will fight to the death if they are both male, and if they are opposite genders, they will mate :l
This video is making me feel better and un scared of asking my parents for one
Geckos are REALLY awesome pets for some. I own 8 at the moment :3 Plus, they're quiet and barely makes a single peep. Really cute pets too
+kawaii atsumeTM I have a new gecko can I just pick him up from the start?
I have one
Why are they sooo dang adorable but still scared to ask my parents because I've done o match reserch on them and then my parents will say no and I'll be so sad
I was having the same problem too,but luckily my teacher is going to let me have all the stuff and the Leo itself for only 10 dollars !!That was the only reason my dad said I could have it
Are leopard geckos smart please answer
lol Chinese water dragon in the background
i think the lizards freind farted in the backround at 1.35
I just got one two days ago
+Futureminer Here is all the stuff you need to know. I feed my 15 year old female leopard gecko meal worms mostly. For meal worms you feed them however many they can eat in 15 minutes. With Crickets you feed them however many they can eat in 10 minutes. Wax worms can be given as a treat twice a month. For a tank a 10 gallon tank is comfortable for a leopard gecko. There are specific heating pads for lizard tanks. Get one of those and have one side be heated and the other no heat. Put one hide (ask the pet store employee) on the warm side and one on the cool side. Put a water bowl on the cool side too. I do not recommend getting heat rocks. They tend to overheat. Despite what people will try to tell you they don't need special lights. For substrate I use carpet (special tank carpeting), but you can also use paper towels or newspaper (these will need to be changed a lot). When handling NEVER grab by the tail. When a leopard gecko feels like they are in danger, they are scared, or their tail is grabbed or even touched, their tail may fall off. It will grow back but not as pretty as before. When leopard geckos shed you must help them get any loose shedding off. Most loose shedding will be on the toes. Put your leopard gecko in warm water for five minutes and then try to get the shed off by hand or with a cotton swab. If you do not remove shedding their toes will probably fall off. I recomend getting an adult for your first one. Never put two males together.
Thx I found out that he's a bandit he is awesome I know have 3 males they usually eat 15-20 crickets a feeding total not each one but thx so much your awsome
i used to live in iran i cant believe i didnt try to find one eh skrew it ill go next year with my dad
so do you wash your hands after touching them like after touching a tortoise?
You should, yes.
ok thx
Yes before and after but make sure you dry your hands thoroughly. And dont use hand sanitizer before either cuz the alcohol can get in theyre skin.
Almost all reptiles carry salmonella, mostly in their fecal matter from their digestive tract, but that doesn't mean they can't step on their own faeces! So it's always best to wash before eating.
Generally though it's not that common to get it unless you're practically licking your lizard, if that's the case I think you have problems! xD
ALWAYS avoid the risk though, nearly all reptiles carry it! It's a nasty disease and though rare can be fatal. So absolutely make sure you're little children if you have/know any wash their hands as if their life depends on it! c:
Purplepoppyanimator Fun fact to add to that; You have as great a risk of getting salmonella from your reptiles as you do from your dog or cat.
You should 'always' wash you hands before eating or touching your face if you want to avoid that little germ, and even then you'll probably still get it.
