For some reason, when I told my older relatives that I got a crested gecko, their first response was, "A live one?" I mean, yes, why would I get a toy one? Isn't that weird? PS. I got a hanging coconut hide and my gecko loves it!
I got a hanging coconut for my crestie as well on amazon it was a Nitangel Coconut Bird Hide. My parents were surprised when I told them I wanted a crestie :)
recent discoveries showed that the new caledonian wild geckos' stomach content is close to 50/50 when it comes to fruits and bugs ratio. also to note, they can be fine for short temperature spikes of +/- 5 F when accounting to their natural range of 70F - 80F, but not for extended periods so still keep an eye on that yours truly a canadian owner of 3 crested, and 1 rescue AFT
the other night i walked into my room about 9 pm to my crestie on the floor of his container (repti-carpet). i have a ton of cork on the floor even though i knew he probably wouldn’t use it. i got really worried because i thought he was hurt/sick because they usually aren’t on the floor and he’s only about 2-3 months old. i left him alone and came back every 5 minutes and he’d be in a different spot. i then realized he appeared to be stalking something, so i figured he must be trying to hunt. my dad, a wildlife biologist, agreed. just to test if i was right i found a smallish cricket from outside and threw it in his enclosure. (there wasn’t actually any bugs in his enclosure, i had thought he was too young to eat them at that point) anyway, as soon as it crawled into the cork and vines on the ground he grabbed it and started chewing it. i was so happy and proud oml i felt like a mom who’s baby like are for the first time but yea. so i guess the lesson here is that if your gecko is on the floor it may not be because of him being sick/injured, but that he was hunting. (also just to be clear so no one thinks i’m neglecting him of food i fed him pangea a few hours before and put it in for him) sorry for the long paragraph, but if your crestie is on the floor he could be searching for insects or may be hungry
Yes!! Yes!!! I totally agree with your vivarium sizes! Most people keep them in much smaller enclosures, about 40 cm tall, 25 cm wide, but I say at least 60cm tall! I like 90cm tall, 60 wide.
Wow!!! You covered almost all of the basic care needs of crested geckos. This video looks to definitely be very reliable. Great video this should help a lot of people. Also, I’ve never seen a crested so crazy about a diet. I guess Lyra just really enjoys Pangea
Thanks so much for the help!! I am getting a crested gecko in about a month. I had most of the basics down but you mentioned a few things I didn't know. Thanks!!
Last video of the crested gecko playlist. Low key sad but just wanted to thank you for informing me about these beautiful creatures and all their wonders will hopefully be purchasing one soon thank you for it all‼️
Hello, I just watched this video. I'm getting my 1st cresty next week. And this video is amazing and a huge help. Thank you so much. I now know where to go for great advice. 😊
YES! I'm getting a crestie for Christmas and I've been waiting for this video for ages! I know I can trust your info, but of course I've done other research, I'm not just gonna watch this vid😂
I know this isn’t a Leopard Gecko video but I learned that I am getting one soon! I am nervous about keeping it warm especially in the winter (America is cold) I wanted to ask for any advice for beginner gecko owner. Sorry to bother but I know you are the best person to go to for help.
You are the one that convinced me to get my first crestie, Leo(narda) almost a year ago. I love your videos and I thank you for going the extra mile while finding accurate information to put in your videos. Keep up the great work! (P.S. have you ever considered getting a ball python???)
one of the best care videos i've seen so far! I love your setup! i was going to set up a 45x45x60 for mine, but after seeing your 60x45x60 i feel like i might need to get myself one of those instead. Love the additional space it gives for more plants and climbing space. You can really tell how much you love your animals, and they're living the life of royalty ;)
thank you so much for this vid, i'm getting a Crested Gecko hatchling in 4\5 weeks. I got to be honest, I knew nothing about them until now! This tutorial really helped me learn about the Crested Gecko and set up everything i need. I really hope the new arrivals love it! PS. i chose their names all ready :D Kiwi & Rango. I love it xD
I just got a male crestie, his name is Bacon cuz when he fires up he is a bacon red color 🥓 idk if he is eating tho. Hard to tell. He is calm when i held him at the breeders. Got him from Jaws And Claws Reptiles. He didn’t have a tail when i bought him but i love him nonetheless. I need to get more plants in the future. Luv my baby. Btw he is a year old.
Thank you for making this, it was really a great video. I really enjoyed this video, and overall, all of your videos. You do a great job at it, so keep up the good work.
Im Planning on getting a crested soon I was wondering if I did need any lighting if my room gets more sun light then a green house ? (Not literally but it is very bright in my room anf i rarely turn on the lights at all )
I'm looking at getting the exo terra glass terrarium 18x18x24 that comes with the led light just wondering how long the lights should be on love the video very informative
Mines called Parker cuz he loves jumping and sticking to things hence (,Peter parker) wee doo loves getting out and jumping around tho. Is that a normal hobby for them? To just enjoy jumping around when out cuz i love it lol
Hello, I'm planning on getting a crested gecko. I have an old terrarium from my brothers leopard gecko. It is 23 x 15 x 15 inches. Does that work for a crested gecko?
Hi so I just got my four month leopard gecko a week in a half ago. He is a gorgeous Bell Albino Het Radar. I care so much about him and he hasn't eaten anything since I got him. I want to take him out to make sure he gets used to handling however I dont want to stress him out in anyway. Shpuld I wait until he eats? Or should I take him out now? He only hides under his cold hide and has mostly stayed there.
so i’m going to be taking in a previously abused crested gecko, he has dropped his tail and is terrified of humans, is there anyway to get him to warm up with me? or is that out of the question?? (his first owners threw pop it’s in his cage and would tap on the glass and handle him harshly)
I live in the USA and where I’m from the summers can get very very hot and I live in a apartment so it’s hard for me to control the temperature is it still ok if I get a crescent gecko?
Hello I just subscribed because I do enjoy your channel it's very informational because I work at Petco and I also do have a leopard gecko now and with your advice and the advice I get from a breeder who got me the leopard gecko I did see your dear petco video I haven't really told anyone anything wrong yet and I actually have been doing my research well beforehand so I am sure I know what to say and whatnot and I do appreciate all the information you give
Hi. I'm confused about feeding schedules for my crested gecko. I keep getting told different things! Could everyone please tell me their feeding schedules and what diet they use. Thanks.
My crested gecko dosent eat the Pangea from the cup or from the spoon so I put some on the log and he dosent eat that (some people might say it’s because he needs to be use to the habitat but I had him for 1 week and a half) I’m nervous what should I do
Just a really dumb question, I've grown up mostly with frogs and more fragile skinned animals and such, do I need wet hands to hold a gecko? Do certain oils or perfumes or such hurt geckos if they are on my skin? And do they have a reactive respiratory system like rats do? (My friend's sister is going off to college and I'm taking her crested gecko cause her college won't allow it, I'm trying to do as much research as possible because I want her to be safe and healthy :)
I have a 4 month old Leo and I've had him for 3 months when I pick him up he squirms and when I put my hand in his cage he runs away. I handle him every other day. Do you know what I can do or do you think he will warm up to me?
I got a baby crested gecko when it was 2 weeks old and I tamed him in 3 days!! If you buy a crested gecko and they are used to eating live food then they need it in their diet but if it is a baby or has never had live food then it isn’t necessary for a crested gecko to have live food.
Here’s a tip with gecko lighting: if you have an alarm clock, or something that offers a small amount of white light, face it towards the cage during the night, as it simulates moonlight
I wish i could house my crestie in a 18x18x24... I tried it for a few weeks but he hid the whole time and he didn‘t eat, all in all he was just not doing well. Now i got a 12x12x24 and he is doing great
I love it when crested geckos lick their eyes! I just think it's so cute!
Sofia Torina like what the fuckk!!🥺🥺🥺
Yeah, it’s just so derpy. Love it.
IK ITS SO ADORABLE!!
Sofia Torina my mom thinks it’s creepy, lol

For some reason, when I told my older relatives that I got a crested gecko, their first response was, "A live one?" I mean, yes, why would I get a toy one? Isn't that weird? PS. I got a hanging coconut hide and my gecko loves it!
where did you buy your hanging hide i can never find them:)
Can I know where you got your coconut hide sense I’ve been looking for one for my Crestie and I’ve had a lot of trouble 😆
TheGlossyBoi's search up “crested gecko hanging hide” on amazon scroll down a lil bit and you will find a coconut one
Mona Faissal go to amazon and search up “crested gecko hanging hide” scroll down a bit and you’ll find it. 👌🏻
I got a hanging coconut for my crestie as well on amazon it was a Nitangel Coconut Bird Hide. My parents were surprised when I told them I wanted a crestie :)
I absolutely adore her videos they are so informative and I binge watch her channel even tho I have seen all of her videos
*Me watching this for the 8th time, knowing I do all these things:* Oh man I hope I'm doing things right.
me
Me af with my juvie who has a fully bioactive viv and is a lil shyte cause he jumped from my shoulder to the floor (6ft)
This is seriously one of the more informative videos about crested gecko care! This TH-cam channel is really underrated.
Wow... I never knew raising a crested gecko was so complex and sophisticated... I don't even think I should raise my own Pacman now that I observe
ProtopulsarGames I had a Pacman in a vivarium for years. She got big fat and lazy but loved nightcrawlers.
Its pretty simplel
You don't have to thank us, thank yourself for being a sweet person and making great and fun videos to watch.
I have a crestie and my aunt is getting one tomorrow and I'm looking after it for a day so I like a nice recap :)
The last part about the poop! 😂 so true!
I usually grab my gecko for about a minute, set him down and he’ll usually go then I’ll grab him again.
Aww he’s a precious bean! I’m thinking of getting one after quarantine this has helped me so much!
tell me if you do!
quarantine has been longer than we expected
I'm getting one soon also!!!!

My adult Marmalade LOVES to poop on me 🙄 she’s lucky she’s cute 😂
Question what age do they get large at
Mine is a small one and he/she is nearly 2
Nikki Folster next week can
I use to have a diamondback turtle. Every time I took him out he would poop... the poop is horrible to deal with.
TootToot BleetBleet.. same with my juvenile tri coloured harlequin her name is mushu and always poops on my hand or my sweater
My hatchling is only 3 months old and I got it today I have handled it today and even let my brother hold it. It was really tame and very lovely

I love when crested geckos lick their eyes
Why do you have two of the same comment???
I’ve had my gecko over a year and I still watch videos and read care guides just in case and your videos are always ones i rewatch!
I'm planning on getting a crestie soon! this helps so much!
Woo hoo love me some crested geckos! My two babies Spitfire and Marmalade say hello :)
Yes!! Yes!!! I totally agree with your vivarium sizes! Most people keep them in much smaller enclosures, about 40 cm tall, 25 cm wide, but I say at least 60cm tall! I like 90cm tall, 60 wide.
Yay happy to see more crested gecko videos!! I've been wanting to get a crested for a long time but I'm waiting to get as much information as I can.
did you get one?
Congratulations!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 been watching you for over two years, and I plan to continue watching!
Sofia Valdivieso is there a 4 yr anniversary

That’s a chubby little gecko 😂
xKeiraa females are usually more rounded than male. It's just more to love 😄
Bubbdhalybiel I know, I have geckos of my own. And so true! Little bundles of joy
Onion Face fat shaming would imply we were being negative towards her. She's fat and we love her the way she is lol
Onion Face she slim thiccccc

Get a heat mat. If that isn't enough, get a CHE (ceramic heat emitter) for extra heat :)
Fiona Shepley Thanks! I will try to find a heat mat and have a backup ceramic heat emitter! This was very helpful.
Yassssss trying to convince my mom to get one! Perfect timing!
I already know eveeything about cresties, I just love watching these type of videos
You are the one that convinced me to get my first crestie, Leo(narda) almost a year ago. I love your videos and I thank you for going the extra mile while finding accurate information to put in your videos. Keep up the great work! (P.S. have you ever considered getting a ball python???)
Congrats on 100k!!!!Keep up the grrrrreat work
I am getting a crested gecko tomorrow!! I'm so exited and i wanted to know how to take good care of her:))
are you taking/handling your cresties during the day? it always looks so bright in Your videos
It’s probably just because she uses lighting stuff.
one of the best care videos i've seen so far! I love your setup! i was going to set up a 45x45x60 for mine, but after seeing your 60x45x60 i feel like i might need to get myself one of those instead. Love the additional space it gives for more plants and climbing space.
You can really tell how much you love your animals, and they're living the life of royalty ;)
My mom just surprised me with theses guys! I’m doing as much research as i can!
I have been wanting one for a while. They are so freaking cute!!!
Amazing video, I love your editing style, low effort but amazingly clean and good! Keep it up! And gratz on 100k!!!
I’m probably getting one really soon. I think I will name him Gordon
thank you so much for this vid, i'm getting a Crested Gecko hatchling in 4\5 weeks. I got to be honest, I knew nothing about them until now!

TYSM!!!! I've been waiting for this video for a while now

@@izzy-vw3xu I posted that 3 years ago
Its pretty awesome this video came out, i can use this for my school project! (Gotta write a bibliography) Wonderful video! :3
Yahhh thank you!!! I've been looking forward into this video for so long!!!
Im Planning on getting a crested soon I was wondering if I did need any lighting if my room gets more sun light then a green house ? (Not literally but it is very bright in my room anf i rarely turn on the lights at all )
and* (sorry I am not good at spelling )
Most likely just from a lighting aspect no, but if you have cooler winters you may need to offer supplemental heating.
I'm looking at getting the exo terra glass terrarium 18x18x24 that comes with the led light just wondering how long the lights should be on love the video very informative
Around the normal hours of sunlight you have that day, i typically do an hour less than that. Just male sure you turn it off when the sun goes down
Mines called Parker cuz he loves jumping and sticking to things hence (,Peter parker) wee doo loves getting out and jumping around tho. Is that a normal hobby for them? To just enjoy jumping around when out cuz i love it lol
Jason Hamilton cute♥️
I just got my first crested gecko about 5 days ago and I love him ( or her)!!!!
your tank looks great!
Omg when she licked her eyeball I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣 soooo cute!
getting one over the next few weeks!! his name is dirk lol
I wat hed this video bc I have one and thank you so much mam!!!
Hello, I'm planning on getting a crested gecko. I have an old terrarium from my brothers leopard gecko. It is 23 x 15 x 15 inches. Does that work for a crested gecko?
Thanks for the info. I'm getting a crested gecko in February when Repticon comes
Hi so I just got my four month leopard gecko a week in a half ago. He is a gorgeous Bell Albino Het Radar. I care so much about him and he hasn't eaten anything since I got him. I want to take him out to make sure he gets used to handling however I dont want to stress him out in anyway. Shpuld I wait until he eats? Or should I take him out now? He only hides under his cold hide and has mostly stayed there.
What’s the warm side temperature? I’d try switching the hides so he’s on the warm side, he may prefer the cool hide
Fiona Shepley So im not sure of the temperature on the warm side but I have a log hide there.
You must have a temperature gun or a digital thermometer with a probe. Also, not all geckos like the log hides, so I’d try switching them.
so i’m going to be taking in a previously abused crested gecko, he has dropped his tail and is terrified of humans, is there anyway to get him to warm up with me? or is that out of the question?? (his first owners threw pop it’s in his cage and would tap on the glass and handle him harshly)
Great video! Keep doing what you’re doing!
I live in the USA and where I’m from the summers can get very very hot and I live in a apartment so it’s hard for me to control the temperature is it still ok if I get a crescent gecko?
I think a thermostat would help, im also from the us
I hope I can get one soon just have to convince my parents
Yay! I’ve been looking into cresties
Hello I just subscribed because I do enjoy your channel it's very informational because I work at Petco and I also do have a leopard gecko now and with your advice and the advice I get from a breeder who got me the leopard gecko I did see your dear petco video I haven't really told anyone anything wrong yet and I actually have been doing my research well beforehand so I am sure I know what to say and whatnot and I do appreciate all the information you give
I can’t wait until my crestie is full sized! He’s a year old and still small but looks great and healthy
Hi. I'm confused about feeding schedules for my crested gecko. I keep getting told different things! Could everyone please tell me their feeding schedules and what diet they use. Thanks.
your geckos r always adorable, and I know this might be weird but your hair is a realy pretty color lol
My crested gecko dosent eat the Pangea from the cup or from the spoon so I put some on the log and he dosent eat that (some people might say it’s because he needs to be use to the habitat but I had him for 1 week and a half) I’m nervous what should I do
This really helped me in handling my gecko named Gizmo
Just a really dumb question, I've grown up mostly with frogs and more fragile skinned animals and such, do I need wet hands to hold a gecko? Do certain oils or perfumes or such hurt geckos if they are on my skin? And do they have a reactive respiratory system like rats do? (My friend's sister is going off to college and I'm taking her crested gecko cause her college won't allow it, I'm trying to do as much research as possible because I want her to be safe and healthy :)
Thank you for the vid I just got a baby one and the vid helps at lot
U have the best gecko vids
plus this was so fun to watch xxx
I have a 4 month old Leo and I've had him for 3 months when I pick him up he squirms and when I put my hand in his cage he runs away. I handle him every other day. Do you know what I can do or do you think he will warm up to me?
Try to hand feed him in a place that he feels comfortable.
hey since its a older video I don't know if you will respond but if I live in AZ then do I need a heat lamp for a crested gecko?
My Crested gecko is about 4-5 months and is still quite small. Is that normal? I’m worried that I’m somehow not giving him enough nutrients
What humidity levels should I keep the tank at?
Try to think about 60-75%
I used to live in New Caledonia and I had a crested gecko loose in my room but he would leave in the day and come back at night
I have a question for my leopard gecko I got it a couple days ago and it's not going in it's cold hide
That’s normal :)
Fiona Shepley should I make it warmer maybe. It has only gone in it once
Getting first gecko on Christmas 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Kyle Goldthorpe saaaaammmmeee
I got a baby crested gecko when it was 2 weeks old and I tamed him in 3 days!!
If you buy a crested gecko and they are used to eating live food then they need it in their diet but if it is a baby or has never had live food then it isn’t necessary for a crested gecko to have live food.
Here’s a tip with gecko lighting: if you have an alarm clock, or something that offers a small amount of white light, face it towards the cage during the night, as it simulates moonlight
Hamster Haven Try not to do that because it can mess with there day/night cycle
i love you vids and me and my cresti sat together and watched this vid xxx
My leopard gecko watched this will me
this is a really nice video thanks
I wish i could house my crestie in a 18x18x24... I tried it for a few weeks but he hid the whole time and he didn‘t eat, all in all he was just not doing well. Now i got a 12x12x24 and he is doing great
this helped my friend has one and i said that would be a good pet so yeah good video but i have no idea where to get equipment
thanks you this was very helpful!
