I feel for the little guy, I was thrown in the trash myself, a homeless woman found me and took me to a nearby hospital, I was adopted and now I live in a happy family!
@@morganhackworth84 i like arboreal setups a lot but they’re definitely pretty hard to handle, i’ve had my crestie for about 6mo and he’s still not really handleable like how a terrestrial gecko would be at this point
I don't know enough about Crestie morphs to actually tell any of them apart so someone could tell me that they're any morph and I'd just nod and believe them.
Wow he looks exactly like mine. I made some mistakes with my first baby crestie, I didn't anticipate how small and fast they are. He escaped for 3 days and I couldn't find him. I was kinda sad but figured he could survived on the spiders and flies in my room and just kept some water out for him. I did eventually find him in my blinds. Slippery little things!
I once through a crested gecko egg out in my yard cuz it looked infertile and a few weeks later i found a baby crestie just chilling on a plant. I mean what are the odds.
$500 vet bill was the rough half dead acting chameleon huh?? I'm waiting to hear it's story. I noticed most of the others from that unboxing we're already on emerald scales but not that poor chameleon.
@@imconfuseded why am i crazy, we agree?!? We don't know how long ago he actually filmed the unboxing? He usually puts them up when many of the animals are up and actually most are already sold. It is not like that was filmed anywhere close to the day he published it...
I'm identifying with your experience as a newbie with babies. My puppy was new to me because he was a giant and a baby. I made mistakes. I didn't realize how much I needed to protect things from him. He wasn't bad, he was mouthy and huge. Baby rottweiler. We learn as we go.
My baby corn escaped once and ended up in the middle of the Christmas tree next to its enclosure. I’m lucky she was bright Orange or could have been lost for a while..
I have my own story of a crestie fitting through a small hole in her enclosure. So basically there is this hole on the top of my geckos enclosure so heating probes and misting tubes and stuff like that can fit through. Well, my gecko decided it was a good idea to climb the sprinkler system, go up to the hole, go through the very small gap that had taped down foil and had tubes running through it, and escape. She luckily didn’t go far and my mom find her in the morning on top of her cage next to her heating lamp. I have since learned and put a rock over the the hole. Lesson learned lol, but she learned that she can escape that way so for a while she would climb the sprinklers and try to go through the hole lol
i just upgraded my crestie to a 90cm by 45cm by 90cm and it is awesome. she is really small for her age (nothing wrong with her, just a small girl) but i want her to have as much room as possible
Oh no, you must have felt like utter shit and quite guilty finding that one dead and having suffocated. That's rough! And especially for it to go that way! So sorry, dude!
You have appreciate how candid he is about mistakes he makes. It's just a fact when it comes to animal keeping. It's hard, you're learning, and accidents can happen. At least he does his best to keep on top of the research and learns from his mistakes. Kudos man.
For my baby crested gecko I give her paper towel substrate for now٫ and I hand feed her about 3 Days in a week as well as putting food in her tank to make sure she eats
This almost happened to me about a week ago. My son couldn't find our crested gecko after our tank fell, we were throwing the glass away and we thought we threw him. He was hiding under the dam cover
I tried to save a couple of geckos that entered my house, one escaped and likely died around the house. The other one sadly died because I didn't adjust the humidity properly
When you were talking about the crestie needing to grow into its large head and in that shot it made me realize how much your crestie looks like a rusty spoon 😹
my crestie was young when i got her and was told to hand feed her. twice a day i had to take her out and put food on her mouth so she had to lick it off so i knew she was eating. in her baby tank she managed to get behind the background
Omg my baby crested gecko ate loose substrate. When trying to catch a bug. I switched back to paper towels until little bigger. But luckily it lived and still living almost 5 months old
hey alex, you mentioned having trouble getting baby cresties to eat. if you’re interested, i recently ~perfected~ my version of homemade crested gecko food. i’ve noticed a CRAZY feeding response since i started giving it to mine, way more than with my previous version or the big brand premade diets. i’ll be putting up a video for it soon, but if you’re interested i would be happy to email you the raw footage or a written recipe for you to recreate the food. it’s a very well-balanced diet with tons of vitamins, fiber, and protein. i don’t ask for anything in return, knowing that one more animal can have a better chance at life is enough for me
cresties are delicate and hard to handle. babies even more so. people think they're signing up for a vertical leopard geckos and then rehome when it comes to them that they're entirely different
I have to put 10 lbs of weight on top of my 22 year old Cornsnakes Bc it still to this day will Head bump corners of the roof of the cage continuously until it either needed care for the nose or it got out lol they are little Houdini’s in
Invest in some cage clips! I had stacks of books sitting on my enclosure until I realized cage clips exist. They are like $5-10 and are much easier to deal with than moving heavy objects around. (I'm assuming you have an aquarium-type enclosure with a screen top)
Hi, I have quite a family of wild house geckos here in Hawaii. I was wondering if you knew anything about their molting process. I interact with them daily and it seems like they get ill or lethargic sort of. Do you know if it hurts them or makes them feel sick??? Or maybe its like a form a gecko pms (pre molt stress) lol???....Thank you for your videos.
The fact you can admit to your mistakes, says a lot. So many with a lot of experience don't talk about what they've done wrong in the past, I think it discourages a lot of potential new reptile keepers. I have 4 leopard geckos. 2 are the surviving juveniles of my adults. I didn't know then how to sex, and I thought I had 2 females. I did not. Both adults were still very young [just over a year old, I think]. And suddenly there's eggs. I panicked, but had a spare tank. I put them in a container with some wet moss and coconut fiber husk as it was all I had. I then ordered a very cheap incubator that had an area for substrate and a plastic venilated insert with egg shaped depressions. I had 8 eggs, but only 2 hatched. One of them was born with enigma, while the other is perfectly fine. I still have both of them and they're 2 years old now almost. It was a simple mistake made by someone who never had lizards before [i had ball pythons in my youth]. I now have everyone in their own enclosures, and have learned from that mistake, and I pass on what I've learned to others.
I once had a corn snake escape its enclosure on easter. My family looked for it all day. Eventually my mom found it all the way acrossed the house in the shower when she was using the toilet.
@@thegoblinking. we had cats, indoor outdoor. They had pet doors. They brought me a gift. They were waiting to see my reaction when I arrived home. I had already been given baby rats, mice and birds and squirrels and other things. I would always praise my gift and give them canned mackeral. I would dispose of the gift. The idea was to control where I got presented with gifts and my tactic worked. Well that day the gift was a snake. I know it was carried in through the pet doors because of the way the pet doors were installed and becsuse it had bite marks. Our yard did not have snakes and these cats went shopping to get me this gift. I put it in a cubby and let it out after researching and finding it to be not poisonous. It was what we call a rat snake.
@@eastlynburkholder3559 if possible, please make your next cats indoor cats with only supervised outdoor time. Cats can destroy ecosystems and make species extinct, and the animals they kill aren’t used for anything at all as you said they were thrown away. Indoor cats also have a longer life expectancy.
@@themute9354 Where I lived, very rural, and the type of cats we took in meant what we did was for the best. If you have wild mother cats and cats with lots of hunter instinct, they will sometimes not make good indoor only cats. I agree with you that most cats should live indoors. The out of doors life is more dangerous. We gave the cats we took in a better life than they had had before. The cats got medical care, vaccinations and flea treatment and heartworm meds and they were spayed or neutered. I now live in town and 8 feet from the main street through the town. My cat is indoors only. The downside is if I get very ill or die on an accident, this cat has never lived with other cats, never learned how to cope with streets or cars and might have to learn to be an indoor outdoor cat or an outdoor cat. It is an imperfect world.
I love all your videos! You've really helped me realize I have a real love for all types of animals and not just the few I already have. 🐢💚While I know this has nothing to do with this exact video I need some help because I am dealing with an issue in my RES aquarium and wanted to see if you had any advise. I recently discovered I have freshwater copepods in my planted and my RES tank. I have been told it's nothing to be worried about yet all the turtle groups I follow on FB say I should still do an entire filter and tank cleaning on my RES tank even though it would cause a bacteria bloom they said it should handle getting rid of the copepods yet everything else I've read including the pet stores told me not to worry and that you can't get rid of all of them short of throwing everything out and starting all over. I am so stressed and confused and need help! Should I do a full cleaning or just not worry about it. It's 1 4.5 inch male in a 75 gallon. No fish or anything live besides Buddy (RES) in that tank and it's a bare bottom. I already do monthly maintenance on my Fluval 407 and weekly 25% water changes. Please any advise would help ease my troubled and worried turtle mom mind! Thank you in advance.
