+Jake Biggs Aw, I'm sorry to hear that! I may have some convincing tips coming up. Show her how bad you want that leopard gecko. Find the passion and make it known. Improving grades in school and everything else doesn't hurt too ;) You are on your way. It just takes time, sometimes!
@Humantorsaurus Rex they actually do enjoy being help some enjoy being pet and if you create a routime they will even develop a schedule on which they will ask to be let out
About the patterns, mine is Albino and is all pink with no spots at all and she has no pattern😂 she’s as sweet as can be and she has all black eyes, she’s quite rare but I love her because of her personality
You are a great narrator, and glad to see your Gecko friend looks very calm and happy, that is really easy to see. So positive to see people like yourself taking fantastic care of your animal/reptile friends.
+Reptile Z Hi Reptile Z! If you will have adult supervision and parents/guardians that are willing to take you to the pet store or somewhere of the like....totally! The only reason I advise against pets for really young people is because there are illnesses that can arise and parents aren't always willing to help. You know yourself better than anyone so if you are mature and think you can commit to taking care of a living thing - go for it! You just need to prepare yourself and make sure you know a lot about leopard geckos! If you have any questions feel free to ask. I wish you the best of luck with your new friend. :D
Hey! I've had a leopard gecko for 2 years and recently got one that my girlfriend bought me. They are wonderful pets and I love mine to bits. I have my male Loki and my female Frejya. Both are currently separated as Frejya is young. About 6 months old I believe. A suggestion to those who want a leopard gecko: They do in fact eat insects but always research before buying. There are a lot of pros to owning one and it's quite a learning experience. A good feeder insect is the dubia roach. Currently only available online, they are a healthier feeder for a leopard gecko as they have more vitamins and nutrients than a cricket when gut loaded. Crickets are known to carry more parasites than any other feeder insects. I currently feed mine mealies, dubias, and occasional waxworms. They love it. Dubias can cause growth spurts in leos too. My male already grew an inch. 9 inches and a bit heavy now! This is a great video and y'all should watch it to know the pros and cons. Hopefully those who want a leopard gecko will take great care of them! :D
Every time I see a video saying how quiet leopard geckos are I think of the one at my work that is so vocal. He makes tons of different sounds and you can pretty well tell his mood from his sounds (as well as body language, but he makes very specific sounds for different moods). I literally want him SPECIFICALLY for how vocal he is because it's so cute.
Razzlewolfflight I don't touch bugs LOL! I use tweezers - great alternative for anyone who doesn't necessarily want to actually touch them. As long as you can tolerate their existence you should be fine. :)
Yay! Malick has a new video! SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE! WOO! :D Just like all your videos "Mr. Malick", this video was very informative! Thats what I love about you channel! Its fun, and informative! =]
Great video! Iv'e owned a leopard gecko for about 3 1/2 years now and it has been amazing. They are truly wonderful pets for anyone who is planning on getting one
I've had my Zeus boy for over 10 years now. He's still going strong! I lost my baby Athena 2 years ago, she was over 8. I miss her so much :( Leopard Geckos are such sweethearts.
It all depends on personality and whether they are tamed or not. I own 2 leopard geckos, and one is completely fine with me. Curls up in my hair and sleeps. The other tries to run from me and freaks out, but lets me hold her for maybe 10 seconds before leaving. (Still trying to tame her). It really all depends.
Every gecko I’ve had has been chill their whole life. Also it depends how you pick them up, if you grab them completely they’re gonna freak out. I either scoop mine up or if it’s an adult I slightly pinch it by the belly
Actually Juvenile leopards geckos don’t get fed everyday baby’s feed gets fed everyday juveniles get fed every other day while adult you feed them and then you wait maybe like three days and then you feed them again
Every video I've seen has discussed how quiet leopard geckos are. I agree, mostly. They can scream if they're super upset. However, if they're well cared for and not stressed, they usually don't say anything. My leo, Helena, just discovered a great spot to hang out when I'm holding her. Found this video when I was looking for something for both of us to watch, but then she zonked out. I'm wearing a cowlneck blouse, and she's asleep in the folds of the neckline. She's such a sweetheart, and absolutely gorgeous--dark yellow with purplish brown spots and some white on her tail. The spots on her hips look like a butterfly. Darling girl won't eat out of a dish, though. I'm not sure whether it's a vision issue or a case of spoiled gecko syndrome, but she'll only eat if the bugs are handed to her one at a time.
+Leo Life True, most screaming is done by babies or geckos in a "fight or flight" situation. In the months since I made that comment, though, I've learned that leos have a lot of other vocal sounds. On the gecko forums I frequent, I've heard of some abnormally verbose leopard geckos who initially freak out their guardians by spending the majority of their active time squeaking, chirping, whistling, clicking, and grunting. Until the human gets used to it, it's a guaranteed way for the scaly baby to get attention--the voice of an animal that shouldn't be making noise understandably brings someone running to see what's wrong. My sweet girl occasionally makes noise but never screams. If she's upset about a bad shed, a pesky dubia that escaped the dish and invaded her hide, the indignity of having a belly check during mating season (she has a history of infertile eggs), or something else along those lines, she makes this quiet grunt/screech/hiss noise. If she thinks I'm ignoring her when she wants attention, she has a chirp which so nearly resembles a bird that I almost started looking for geckos when I was out shopping and heard one bird call to another.
Chloe is adorable, you can easily tell an animal is well cared for, Bravo. Also I want to thank you. You really helped me find my love for leopard geckos. You helped me learn too. Thanks bro.
I'm nine (10 next month) and I mainly hate everything (i'm strange okay) and hate "playing". I think leos will be good for me because I am mainly awake at night and am more mature than best people this age. I've also done tons and tons of research so I think I'm gonna get one.
I hear you I just turned ten and I don't "play" not even at school people say I am weird and I grow up to fast but I am just mature and my Leo is perfect for me since I don't want to play with it all day.
Hi, pretty good video. I just want to mention a couple of things: 1-she has stuck skin, you can remove that with water and being gentle with a qtip. It’s important to aid them with that if it’s stuck. 2-leopard geckos are not nocturnal, they are actually crepuscular, meaning they are awake around dawn and dusk.
Luiz Famvision my leopard ghecko was 2 years old when it came to me and it was scared and disliked human touch, bit me yelled at me and ran away, after about 3 months of tender care and holding he learned to love me. He falls asleep on my chest now
so calm :D mine are still too young and hasty but as time goes by i can notice they are more calm now, also not running away anymore. Just dont force them they have super different characters and thats very interesting
Good pros/cons list. I just got a Leo. I choose a Crested Gecko for my first, well second as I had a Green Anole, lizard because the no heat lamp requirement for them was at the time better for the space I had available. Love her though, and I can't wait til my new Leo is settled in. Definitely, think she'll be easier to tame than my crested gecko was since cresties will drop their tail in a heart beat if stressed or feeling threatened (ie when you reach for them). Leos seem much more attached to their tail but I learned a lot about handle taming with my crested gecko and she was a toughie (used Tegu taming techniques). Learned a neat trick that I tried on the Leo before I bought her and she seemed to start taking to it so she seems like a quick learner. My crestie is fast too plus can jump quite a few feet and then sprint up the wall if she wanted. It was like hop scotch the first month of handle training. Now she walks hand to hand pretty nice. I know Leos once tamed tend to be more lazy than cresties after they reach over a year.
i own a bearded dragon right now and im thinking of trying a gecko out after my beardie... are they very different from bearded dragons or are they kind of the same... bearded dragons eat mealworms too so i have no problem with bugs.... does the temperature need to be hot or cold? what do u use for flooring in their cage? and do they like green looking cages or desert-like cages? this video taught me alot about them thank you :)
I'm getting a gecko soon and after lots of research I've discovered that yes they are similar to bearded dragons. Except they prefer there heat to come from under the tank (undertank heating pads instead of heating lamp domes) and they're nocturnal while bearded dragons are diurnal. Also, the temperature of the heating pad needs to be 75-90, definitely not 100+, that's too hot for geckos. Most importantly DO NOT use sand for the substrate. You can use a paper towel for baby geckos and juveniles but for adults I recommend some reptile carpet.
I have a gecko and basically sorta the same as what the person above said. also if you have a cat...I wouldn't get a gecko, my cat attacked it and nearly killed it so..
+Niamh's i do have a cat but he loved the beardie i had and he would stand by the class and theyd communicate with eachother.... my beardie got sick and passed away a few weeks ago.... like 2 days after this comment actually
I'm thinking about getting a leopard gecko for years now,I've been researching for about a year now and I've been off and on about it.I think I'm really going to try and get one :)
Yikes, Kevin. So sorry to hear that. We like to have fun here at ProfessionalPets and music adds a bit of style to the videos. We have new intros now that are shorter but they include music too. However it is top rated music and hopefully you like it. Check them out here - th-cam.com/video/sRoDm-GDhoc/w-d-xo.html. Or, as always you are welcome to not watch my videos ever again.
My teacher gave me her gecko for free, so she's already tamed. I've handled Clyde like a few times and she was so calm. Leopard geckos are so sweet, fun, and adorable. I recommend getting one, except if you are squeamish and don't like bugs, then you really don't really want to get a Leo.
jonah molina Hi! I wish! haha! There is maybe a 5% chance that once you get a leopard gecko it will be tamed and that is only if the leo you get is from a breeder or a friend that has already tamed them. If you adopt 99.9% of the time they aren't tame, especially if from a pet store. Also even if they were tame they still need to adjust to you, their new owner! So I hope I answered your question! Thanks for watching, and commenting. it means a lot. Also, I have many more leopard gecko videos on taming. Look around the channel and you'll find some :)
I have a leopard gecko, and he's my lil homie! I agree with everything in this video. And AJ, my gecko, is my first pet. Super easy to take care of, really all I have to do is clean his tank and stuff. If you're looking to get a pet that's super easy to take care of and one that will make your friends and family impressed, I'd definitely suggest that you get a leopard gecko. Lucky for me, I live out in the country where crickets and small grasshoppers are pretty much everywhere outside, but I'd suggest you go to any fishing bait store where they keep live crickets. I also found out that adults can eat small earthworms. At least AJ does with no problems.
my Felix has only been held when I bought him. He was calm and stayed on me. As soon I got him in his tank it was like, "hey human, don't even think of trying to touch me." He is crazy tough as he likes hanging upside down from the exo terra tank lid or his hammock for hours!
Hey guys!! What's Up?! If you're new, welcome to ProfessionalPets! Thanks for subscribing! I made an Instagram! It's @ProfessionalPets instagram.com/professionalpets Follow, and I may follow back! :) Thank You sooo much!! :D
Cool, I actually owned a leopard gecko once as a kid, but my Dad was mostly the one who took care of it, but I still helped out with feeding her and we even took her out of her cage sometimes to interact with her. Her name was Charmelon and she was a cool pet we had, she actually had a lot of spots compared to yours and we mostly fed her crickets, which I didn't mind getting as a kid, my Dad was the one who bought them, but I still helped by feeding her the crickets when she was in her cage, and I always thought it was cool at how she ate them, she always ran up and just chomped them down, which looked cool to me as a kid. I might think of getting a new leopard gecko in honor of Charmelon, cause I would really love to have one again, though I should only get one when I don't have a dog or a cat, cause I feel it would be dangerous for the little guy to be around a dog, especially my dogs. Hey isn't also important to have a lamp for them and to keep them in a warm room to help live in a suitable environment? Cause that's what my Dad did for Charmelon.
This upcoming week we are rolling out new intros! We've listened to your feedback and others and we hope you like what we've worked on. Let's just say, they are all less than 45 seconds for sure! Thanks for the feedback! :)
Hanna Eveningstorm Yea but they are way more worth it. :) My friend had an Iguana it was like a giant Green Dog. I have a Bearded Dragon best pet ever lets me do anything with him.
I love the conversation you generated here, Ry Guy! It's so important that pet owners realize it's okay to like a certain species over the other. In the end you will probably care best for what you love the most and so it's awesome you made that observation for yourself. Thanks for sharing! :)
Wow I was actually thinking of how great of a pet this would be and your video really helped me put some serious consideration into whether or not that's a good idea or not so thank you for this!
That's awesome! So glad, I was able to genuinely help ya! Your extremely welcome! Just want to add that my very FIRST LIVE EVENT is coming up right on TH-cam! Check out my channel in the "upcoming events" section to learn more! :D
i am 9 , and carry him around on my chest. I also named him pheonex. he has spots and the middle is yellow, the ends of the skin are white. In fact, he is on my chest while i am writing this. we got him yesterday. its like a parrot on a pirates shoulder. I also got him yesterday and we have such a bond, he never wants to let go of me. One time at Bruggers Bagels in Aliso Viejo, I saw a boy with a bearded dragon in his chest. Smile on!
from what i learned growing up with one.. do not feed meal worms to them.. mine was strictly on crickets.. they cant digest meal worms.. and they can actually die from them.. def. found this out.. and changed his diet.. he got so much healthier..
:D Awesome video and adorable gecko :3 I saw some in the pet shop today. I'd really like one. Few questions: The ones in the petshop had heat lamps in their enclosures, when you take them out do you have to make sure they don't get cold or is it ok as long as it's not for too long? Is it likely that when you first get one they will be scared and their tale might drop off? and how long do they usually live? Thanks :)
There’s lots of intro complaints so I’ll say something other than a complaint... I enjoy your vids! I’ve just got a gecko! He/she is only 3-4 months old! I will be watching your channel more now:)
Awesome gecko! We got ours a week ago and she looks pretty close to yours cept she has 3 spots near her tail, and all over her head, but same tail. They are great pets. Great pro's and cons btw! This video was really well put together.
Hi! Great video, almost all the pros are accounted for... :-) I might add that it is really good that you can go for a vacation for a week or two and still return to find your geckoes healthy and feeling good if you fed them well before leaving home. That is not the case with cats/dogs/etc.... My leopards don't eat every other day, they are more accustomed to feeding twice weekly in summer, once a week in winter time. If I try to feed them more, they just ignore the crickets/whatever. My favourite gecko (the tamest one) sometimes scratches the glass of the terrarium in the evening to be taken out and have a chance to climb and rest upon my shoulder (and be able to heat up a bit :-) ) Sometimes he climbs into my breast pocket (if there is one on the T-shirt), snuggles up there and goes to sleep :-) and looks really annoyed when I try to put him back into the vivarium. :-D
*Leopard Geckos are viewing animals* Me: PeRfeCT (So cute OwO) *Don’t get them if you don’t like bugs* Me (who is deathly afraid of bugs): I’D DO IT ALL FOR THE PETS ;3
Currently I have a 6 month old Beardie and we already have a bunch of pets, I'm hoping when I move out or are pets calm down maybe I can get one of these cuties! my experience with my beardie has been amazing so far, so if it ever comes time to get a leo I'll be ready from your amazing tips and my research thank you for showing me these cute little lizards!
Where is the video on taming them? I am getting my son a leopard gecko for his 14th birthday in a couple of weeks. Thanks for this informative video :)
One more con: they can be expensive. It isn't that bad mostly just the heating and terrarium. Hides, food, dishes, etc aren't terribly expensive and they won't break their cage furnishings. Cool vid!
True! Totally depends on your budget but never get them if you can't afford, it will just hurt them in the end! Thanks so much! And thank you for sharing your opinions :D
Hi I have a question so when I get my leopard gecko after i get it should i go take it to the vet for a check up? also how do I know if my gecko is healthy or not without needing to take it to the vet?
Your intro is just a tiny bit too long
thats an understatement
agreed
You mean way too long.

How do you do it?
@@myadavis8656
Soak 'em in some warm water, then gently peel when it's all soft.

Yeah warm water should loosen the shed and it should come off with no worries
Just be careful

I got my leo when i was 7... to this day, iv'e had them for 5 years.
Geckos are actually social animals and enjoy being handled! They like just chilling with you in warm places
They are definitely not social. You rarely see leos living in groups, or even in pairs.
@@racin5260 they are social with their human counterparts
@Humantorsaurus Rex they actually do enjoy being help some enjoy being pet and if you create a routime they will even develop a schedule on which they will ask to be let out

Hey! I've had a leopard gecko for 2 years and recently got one that my girlfriend bought me. They are wonderful pets and I love mine to bits. I have my male Loki and my female Frejya. Both are currently separated as Frejya is young. About 6 months old I believe.

Basically, the first rule is if you can't touch bugs- do not even contemplate a Leo.
Or pretty much any reptile....
Not really. Snakes eat rodents mostly. Monitor lizards and bigger eat rodents, rabbits, etc. It's only the small reptiles that are insectivores.
Razzlewolfflight I don't touch bugs LOL! I use tweezers - great alternative for anyone who doesn't necessarily want to actually touch them. As long as you can tolerate their existence you should be fine. :)
I use tweezers as well. I never touch the bigs with my hands.
I can’t touch crickets.. wax worms I can touch but crickets I can’t. I keep my gecko on worms mostly

It all depends on personality and whether they are tamed or not. I own 2 leopard geckos, and one is completely fine with me. Curls up in my hair and sleeps.

2-leopard geckos are not nocturnal, they are actually crepuscular, meaning they are awake around dawn and dusk.
I tried to tame my leopard gecko but it bit me and yelled at me
Just let him. He'll eventually realize it's no use, and that he's safe.
It's a hatchling leave it for 3 or 4 months and you can tame it.

Luiz Famvision gotta keep trying
Luiz Famvision my leopard ghecko was 2 years old when it came to me and it was scared and disliked human touch, bit me yelled at me and ran away, after about 3 months of tender care and holding he learned to love me. He falls asleep on my chest now
so calm :D mine are still too young and hasty but as time goes by i can notice they are more calm now, also not running away anymore.
Just dont force them they have super different characters and thats very interesting
Really, a forty second intro? You're not thaaat important.
Yeah the intro is too long but u could have been nicer about it 🙄
Opjink and your not important enough for this comment to matter
😱
Opjink it's not about him, it's about his pets

Good pros/cons list. I just got a Leo. I choose a Crested Gecko for my first, well second as I had a Green Anole, lizard because the no heat lamp requirement for them was at the time better for the space I had available. Love her though, and I can't wait til my new Leo is settled in. Definitely, think she'll be easier to tame than my crested gecko was since cresties will drop their tail in a heart beat if stressed or feeling threatened (ie when you reach for them). Leos seem much more attached to their tail but I learned a lot about handle taming with my crested gecko and she was a toughie (used Tegu taming techniques). Learned a neat trick that I tried on the Leo before I bought her and she seemed to start taking to it so she seems like a quick learner. My crestie is fast too plus can jump quite a few feet and then sprint up the wall if she wanted. It was like hop scotch the first month of handle training. Now she walks hand to hand pretty nice. I know Leos once tamed tend to be more lazy than cresties after they reach over a year.

A real decent video with a sweet lil gecko, thanks for this :)
i own a bearded dragon right now and im thinking of trying a gecko out after my beardie... are they very different from bearded dragons or are they kind of the same... bearded dragons eat mealworms too so i have no problem with bugs.... does the temperature need to be hot or cold? what do u use for flooring in their cage? and do they like green looking cages or desert-like cages? this video taught me alot about them thank you :)
I'm getting a gecko soon and after lots of research I've discovered that yes they are similar to bearded dragons. Except they prefer there heat to come from under the tank (undertank heating pads instead of heating lamp domes) and they're nocturnal while bearded dragons are diurnal. Also, the temperature of the heating pad needs to be 75-90, definitely not 100+, that's too hot for geckos. Most importantly DO NOT use sand for the substrate. You can use a paper towel for baby geckos and juveniles but for adults I recommend some reptile carpet.
I have a gecko and basically sorta the same as what the person above said. also if you have a cat...I wouldn't get a gecko, my cat attacked it and nearly killed it so..
My cat killed mine, too.
+ira moser aww sorry :(
+Niamh's i do have a cat but he loved the beardie i had and he would stand by the class and theyd communicate with eachother.... my beardie got sick and passed away a few weeks ago.... like 2 days after this comment actually
I'm thinking about getting a leopard gecko for years now,I've been researching for about a year now and I've been off and on about it.I think I'm really going to try and get one :)
Do they only need insects to eat or do they need vitamins too? Nice video btw! I really enjoyed it!
Get this vitamin sprinkle and put it on the crickets or mealworms for your gecko it helps them eat vitamins and eat there food faster
Thank you
They require calcium and vitamins lol oof this comment is 3 years old
And this reply is from a month ago XD
TheAnimallover654 inscets and vitamins make sure to dust you insects
I'm going to be honest, you are one of my favorite TH-camrs you totally deserve way more subscribers! And views!
The song at the start stoped me from watching the video
Yikes, Kevin. So sorry to hear that. We like to have fun here at ProfessionalPets and music adds a bit of style to the videos. We have new intros now that are shorter but they include music too. However it is top rated music and hopefully you like it. Check them out here - th-cam.com/video/sRoDm-GDhoc/w-d-xo.html. Or, as always you are welcome to not watch my videos ever again.
My teacher gave me her gecko for free, so she's already tamed. I've handled Clyde like a few times and she was so calm. Leopard geckos are so sweet, fun, and adorable. I recommend getting one, except if you are squeamish and don't like bugs, then you really don't really want to get a Leo.
jonah molina Hi! I wish! haha! There is maybe a 5% chance that once you get a leopard gecko it will be tamed and that is only if the leo you get is from a breeder or a friend that has already tamed them. If you adopt 99.9% of the time they aren't tame, especially if from a pet store. Also even if they were tame they still need to adjust to you, their new owner! So I hope I answered your question! Thanks for watching, and commenting. it means a lot. Also, I have many more leopard gecko videos on taming. Look around the channel and you'll find some :)
what the fuck is up with your hands?
what's the song?
mon929
What is wrong with his hands?
Joana Savater its shedded skin left over on its hands. :)

Oh i didn't see that!
I have a leopard gecko, and he's my lil homie!
I agree with everything in this video. And AJ, my gecko, is my first pet. Super easy to take care of, really all I have to do is clean his tank and stuff. If you're looking to get a pet that's super easy to take care of and one that will make your friends and family impressed, I'd definitely suggest that you get a leopard gecko. Lucky for me, I live out in the country where crickets and small grasshoppers are pretty much everywhere outside, but I'd suggest you go to any fishing bait store where they keep live crickets. I also found out that adults can eat small earthworms. At least AJ does with no problems.
Worlds longest intro?
This was very informational and helped me a lot with my geckos
where is the TAMING VIDEO??????????
Just got one today! Good to know they're good to have
I'm 9 and I have my own gecko
Two little Besties same
Nice vid! You earned another subscriber :)
Is this a video or an intro
Wow, we learned a lot from this video. We just got our first gecko today and are learning from all over. Thanks for sharing.

my Felix has only been held when I bought him. He was calm and stayed on me. As soon I got him in his tank it was like, "hey human, don't even think of trying to touch me." He is crazy tough as he likes hanging upside down from the exo terra tank lid or his hammock for hours!
Hey guys!! What's Up?! If you're new, welcome to ProfessionalPets! Thanks for subscribing!

Thank You sooo much!! :D
this vid helped me alot on deciding for a leopard gecko and tis a definite yes
Michael Thorley Awesome to hear, Michael! Enjoy your new pal! :D
I have a leopard gecko that isn't eating. I dont want to force feed him. What do I do?
But I juat got him yesterday so I have no idea
andi do feed him live crickets
Thank you soooo much you inspired me a lot to get a leopard gecko and now I have one
there are no cons!
Ahahahahahaha! They are that awesome! :D
Cool, I actually owned a leopard gecko once as a kid, but my Dad was mostly the one who took care of it, but I still helped out with feeding her and we even took her out of her cage sometimes to interact with her. Her name was Charmelon and she was a cool pet we had, she actually had a lot of spots compared to yours and we mostly fed her crickets, which I didn't mind getting as a kid, my Dad was the one who bought them, but I still helped by feeding her the crickets when she was in her cage, and I always thought it was cool at how she ate them, she always ran up and just chomped them down, which looked cool to me as a kid. I might think of getting a new leopard gecko in honor of Charmelon, cause I would really love to have one again, though I should only get one when I don't have a dog or a cat, cause I feel it would be dangerous for the little guy to be around a dog, especially my dogs. Hey isn't also important to have a lamp for them and to keep them in a warm room to help live in a suitable environment? Cause that's what my Dad did for Charmelon.

HideYourKids Whoooooot! Cleveland in the house! :)
ClassyMalick! HUH?
we love 1min long intros🥳
Intro is kinda suckish and long, is 45 seconds really necessary
This upcoming week we are rolling out new intros! We've listened to your feedback and others and we hope you like what we've worked on. Let's just say, they are all less than 45 seconds for sure! Thanks for the feedback! :)
@@ProfessionalPets *takes 44 seconds*
I don't know why but watching the gecko walk around makes me want to smile
Bearded Dragons and Iguanas are way better just my personal preference.
Actually u spend more money on bearded dragons and iguanas then leopard geckos. :) U need a giant tank for beardeds anyway.
Hanna Eveningstorm
Yea but they are way more worth it. :) My friend had an Iguana it was like a giant Green Dog. I have a Bearded Dragon best pet ever lets me do anything with him.
It really depends on the owner and what they're interested in
I love the conversation you generated here, Ry Guy! It's so important that pet owners realize it's okay to like a certain species over the other. In the end you will probably care best for what you love the most and so it's awesome you made that observation for yourself. Thanks for sharing! :)
OreoAJ Very, very true! More food as well! Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Thank you. I just purchased mine today, named him Herschel after the backpacks
Hit me with that 42 second cringeworthy intro but thanks for the video
Wow I was actually thinking of how great of a pet this would be and your video really helped me put some serious consideration into whether or not that's a good idea or not so thank you for this!
That's awesome! So glad, I was able to genuinely help ya! Your extremely welcome! Just want to add that my very FIRST LIVE EVENT is coming up right on TH-cam! Check out my channel in the "upcoming events" section to learn more! :D
cant tell if you are a girl or guy...
It's a guy
Can't tell if you are trying to provoke and annoy me or just don't know what's appropriate and what's not.
Shacain Watson walters Thank you. Enjoy your weekend! :)
cant tell if you have problem with gays or u are homophobic
i am 9 , and carry him around on my chest. I also named him pheonex. he has spots and the middle is yellow, the ends of the skin are white. In fact, he is on my chest while i am writing this. we got him yesterday. its like a parrot on a pirates shoulder. I also got him yesterday and we have such a bond, he never wants to let go of me. One time at Bruggers Bagels in Aliso Viejo, I saw a boy with a bearded dragon in his chest. Smile on!
from what i learned growing up with one.. do not feed meal worms to them.. mine was strictly on crickets.. they cant digest meal worms.. and they can actually die from them.. def. found this out.. and changed his diet.. he got so much healthier..
Love this video . Keep up the good work
heres another pro/con, They LOVE to climb!
:D Awesome video and adorable gecko :3 I saw some in the pet shop today. I'd really like one. Few questions: The ones in the petshop had heat lamps in their enclosures, when you take them out do you have to make sure they don't get cold or is it ok as long as it's not for too long? Is it likely that when you first get one they will be scared and their tale might drop off? and how long do they usually live? Thanks :)
Great advice!!!!! Thx I got 1 yesterday named Flash, thank u and I hope u and Chloe live a happy life 😀😃😄
hahah! Cool name! Love it! Thanks so much! I wish the same for you :)
I gonna get a leopard gecko in 2 days so exited can't wait 😁
This video made me want to get one, they look so cool and chill lol
How Do do I train my gecko. I've been having him for a year now and he still doesn't let me hold him.

Love the birds in the background, sounds like my house
Great video!
Thanks for the advice :)
It helped me a lot
darthmavecon Woah! That's awesome! Thanks so much for watching ProfessionalPets! We're glad we could help! :)
I recently got one. Now I'm obsessed . great pets
Lol!!! My brother’s fancy leopard gecko is always angry and hates everyone, and he almost does this screeching thing at night.
There’s lots of intro complaints so I’ll say something other than a complaint... I enjoy your vids! I’ve just got a gecko! He/she is only 3-4 months old! I will be watching your channel more now:)
Awesome gecko! We got ours a week ago and she looks pretty close to yours cept she has 3 spots near her tail, and all over her head, but same tail. They are great pets. Great pro's and cons btw! This video was really well put together.
Hi! Great video, almost all the pros are accounted for... :-)
I might add that it is really good that you can go for a vacation for a week or two and still return to find your geckoes healthy and feeling good if you fed them well before leaving home. That is not the case with cats/dogs/etc....
My leopards don't eat every other day, they are more accustomed to feeding twice weekly in summer, once a week in winter time. If I try to feed them more, they just ignore the crickets/whatever.
My favourite gecko (the tamest one) sometimes scratches the glass of the terrarium in the evening to be taken out and have a chance to climb and rest upon my shoulder (and be able to heat up a bit :-) )
Sometimes he climbs into my breast pocket (if there is one on the T-shirt), snuggles up there and goes to sleep :-) and looks really annoyed when I try to put him back into the vivarium. :-D
This was a really great video for me because my kids have an albino leprosariums Gecko
*Leopard Geckos are viewing animals*
Me: PeRfeCT
(So cute OwO)
*Don’t get them if you don’t like bugs*
Me (who is deathly afraid of bugs): I’D DO IT ALL FOR THE PETS ;3
I love bugs 🐜🦟🦗🕷🐞🐌 especially spiders!! Don’t judge me pls
They are basically cats. I kinda just tamed my baby. She comes up to her door sometimes when she wants to be held now. It's pretty awesome haha
Currently I have a 6 month old Beardie and we already have a bunch of pets, I'm hoping when I move out or are pets calm down maybe I can get one of these cuties! my experience with my beardie has been amazing so far, so if it ever comes time to get a leo I'll be ready from your amazing tips and my research thank you for showing me these cute little lizards!
Where is the video on taming them? I am getting my son a leopard gecko for his 14th birthday in a couple of weeks. Thanks for this informative video :)
Thanks for the info! I'm picking one up at my local pet store tomorrow!
One more con: they can be expensive. It isn't that bad mostly just the heating and terrarium. Hides, food, dishes, etc aren't terribly expensive and they won't break their cage furnishings. Cool vid!
True! Totally depends on your budget but never get them if you can't afford, it will just hurt them in the end! Thanks so much! And thank you for sharing your opinions :D
Hi I have a question so when I get my leopard gecko after i get it should i go take it to the vet for a check up? also how do I know if my gecko is healthy or not without needing to take it to the vet?
