Geckos Lining Up to Eat From Our Hands

- This is the culmination of one of my behavior modification experiments with geckos. Certainly was successful! Geckos not only eating from our hands but lining up for a chance to do so. Cute little critters! I love the part where one of them does pull-ups on the bowl so it can reach some mango.

The world can suck, but it's very sweet to be reminded that sometimes we're just big hairless apes who'll sit for minutes on end with food in our hands, for the sole purpose of watching other, smaller animals eat it.
Charles Darwin was also a vocal racist who thought the different human races were at different stages of evolution... I'm sure you can guess which ones he thought were less developed...
Welp, we can't do anything about that. So what does it matter what charles said. Enjoy the geckos.
@@JuanMendoza-qd5lm ... Okay? I bet you're great fun at parties
@@CiCodiCadno Those are some of my biggest fans🍻.
@@CiCodiCadno Them and Churches... both gatherings love to hear everything scientifically implausible with the Theory of Evolution. Inherently racist, outdated and increasingly unproven as science advances beyond such archaic beliefs of the medieval ages.
I'm glad these aren't native to where I live. I'd just be feeding them all day and not get any work done!
Plus, where there's lots of geckos, there are lots of big bugs that they hunt 😬
Believe it or not they’re not even native to Hawaii where this was filmed. They’re indigenous to Madagascar.
@@matthewrooyakkers6947 That's a shame if they're not native. I hope they're not causing any kind of damage to the ecosystem. They are precious little things though. I wouldn't be able to resist feeding them every day.
I wish they WERE native to where I live. This would be something for me to do while I'm not getting any work done.
Me too! 😅
2:40 just look at the gecko dangling off the bowl... XD
must... lick... fruit...
That's just about the cutest thing I've ever seen!
lost in the sauce
Food ... is ... life... 😂
The smartest one he found the mango mines
These poor dudes are so skittish... EVERYTHING wants to eat them. Birds, snakes, fish, frogs... even larger lizards. Hope this batch lived out a good life!
Their survival strategy based on extreme cuteness guarantees humans will move heaven and earth so they may survive
Also spiders, centipedes, scorpions, even rats x(
these guys just saved like 60-75% on car insurance
Its the final countdown.
Grey advertisement ;-)
Whats the relation between gekos and car insurance?
@@ivanespinosa246 Its the difference between clean and washed.😁. In the past there used to be an insurance advertisement with a geko. Nothing special for ad, but it stormed the TV channels with frequent adverts.
@@christopherneufelt8971 thanks!!
Real footage of what happens when you open a pack of gum in class.
You must live in some poverty stricken area.
@@getin3949umm no it’s just kids dude... I remember kids asking for all of my gum if i snuck it in class. Not everything is political 🤦♂️
@@getin3949 Some people are so poor the only thing they have is money.
@@getin3949 Did you never go to a public school mate? Or ever open up candy around kids? Kids want gum if someone else has it, it’s not that deep lol.
If I ever go to Hawaii, it wouldn't be for the beaches, but for these geckos.
We have the best
9 out of 10 reasons I want to visit the US are wildlife I want to pet (responsibly).
@@definitelynotashark1799I reccomend the fireflies my friend. Nothing quite like sitting on a hill at dusk over looking a field and watching 1000s of fireflies do their thing. Its beautiful
After ten years, these little guys will never know how special a small moment like this will be for thousands of creaturs that live tens of times more than they do.
❤
They bring entertainment to the ape gods.
They live more than we ever could
God. Agh. Would that that were me
Meanwhile birds are going insane in the background
bird SEX
They will eat the geckos
They move like they're playing red light green light.
That's called survival instincts
Gecko game
2:42 my favorite part. The laticauda in the right just keeps hanging there with is little feet in the air. love it xD
They are so cute it should be illegal!
Omg that was beyond adorable
Phelsuma laticauda....
I love the one that jumps up and dangles off the bowl
It needs a belly tickle.
Looks like they more afraid of each other than a camera man ...
I'd be sitting there for hours
Man was never meant to handle this much cute...
Genesis 1: 27-28: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
He was.
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom.
Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
@@AlexejSvirid are you a jehovahs witness?
Speak for yourself.
@@AlexejSvirid Wow, this really convinced me!
thats why only a few of us consider it cute. Its cool, but its more creepy than cute, imo.
reminds me of the time when i fell asleep on the floor in florida and woke up covered in geckos. just wanting to be warm. it was awesome.
You're so lucky...it was just geckos...
my aunt said the same thing.... and that is when she revealed... the back table had hundreds of black widows just chilling in a family unit under it.@@Kayenne54
i'll take 'lying for attention' for $200
nah it definitely did occur. I was a kid about 14 or 15 and it was the summer of 1998 or 1999. i recall that there were wild fires that people suspected of being started by a bunch of kids at the time. I even recall the house it happened in. it was in the san Carlos area of Fort Myers; Florida. Which already isn't a great neighborhood. The home in which it occurred was across from a golf course, which had a known lizard infestation. my aunt's home is low to the ground, and in a known poor district. so her window was broken and left open. they run around her house late at night all the time. among other "invaders" including mice, rats and what she calls palmetto bugs. @@KantiKane the place wasn't in the best condition either so who knows what else was actually probably on me. they were attracted to the heat of my body, but for all i know they could have also been attracted to delicious bugs. who knows. all i know is that after that night i never slept in her house again. i slept in the car until the vacation was over. mostly because of what she said about the spider pals in the yard.
Spoken by someone whom has never experienced lose beyond the trap house. So quick to negate a great comment. 🤡@@KantiKane
05:48 look at that speed!
Holy smokes!
Fueled by mango. 🙂
Im happy this ended up in my recommendations
To quote Lisa Simpson, "I AM THE LIZARD QUEEN!!"
That one guy peeping over the rail like, "Did somebody say 'lunch'?"
At 1:20 when the gecko chases the other and they go behind the water glass, it looks like they fuse into one looooong gecko 😂
True hahs
When bro jumped up to the bowl and used his tail to prop himself up, that was cool.
Pov: you are a Disney Princess taking a vacation in the tropics
That gecko really went for it at 2:34 lol
These are probably my favourite geckoes. They look like a plastic toy with those colours, not like an actual gecko at all
i require more gecko content
I’m more surprised that none of them offered you a great deal on car insurance
I would love to do this. This is what I’d call peace. Feeding beautiful geckos while listening to birds.
They are nervous but the mango is too good!! Too cute
Adorable! They must be British tourist geckos, as they insist on queuing 😂
I forget where I read it, but the quote "Orderly queuing is a point of national pride for the English" remains hilarious.
The lil guy hopped on the bowl, his lil feet just dangling!!😊
1. they're so cute!
2. that mango is gorgeous
Six words to sum this video up: Amazing, Adorable, Awesome, and I'm Jealous
The geckos are getting fed the fruit while the birds are probably complainig that they aren't getting fed any geckos.
Awwww! They are so cute with their little feet, big eyes, and the little tongue boop they dooo. That one that jumped on the bowl to lick the fruit is so clever and cute
Seven impatient geckos who did not get their share of mango disliked this.
Geckos go [slowly]: nom nom nom nom nom nom nom
Their jumps are really cool too!
Little green babies
This looks like paradise. A warm sunny day, fruit and juice, and a bunch of geckos just there hanging out. What more could you ever ask for?
What a wonderful video. I could sit and watch all day. Thank you! When I lived in Hawaii in the 70's the geckos were all light brown. Now they're all bigger and green. This species must have taken over!
They did. They're carnivorous and they eat the brown geckos..
He didn`t say anything about the age of the species..
Not too bright are you?
What a dick^
Are they anoles? If they are, they come in a green and brown variety and some can change their colors between them
@@View-sc8wf These ones in the video are Day Geckos. They've taken over.
2:34 gecko near from the mangos: ok no one see me-
jump so fast and start to mlem the mangos the most fast as he can*
I love the slight camera shaking as you laugh silently at the gecko hanging off the bowl hahah
They're nervous but just can't help themselves 😂 the one hanging onto the bowl with his feet dangling 🤣
I can't believe you filmed this 10 years ago, the camera quality is so good.
"IS IT SAFE? ARE WE SAFE?!"
*nomnomnomnom*
Aww the little dudes are coming over to ask if you heard about Gecko insurance 😂
The Geico convention just let everybody out for lunch🦎
Thanks. I didn't think I needed this simple joy today.
- Awe they are adorable hungry lil creatures.
i love reptiles so i feel like this would be a magical experience to have geckoes actively approach and climb on you to eat food
Definitely cuteness overload
"Thank you for the mango! In return, I'd like to tell you how you can save on your car insurance..."
Even with these exotic*** little goobers, the familiar sound of finches in the background anchors me
Their little faces are so cute!
You don’t need to vacation somewhere exotic to see something like this. This is a typical Wednesday morning in central Texas 💀
Ok
Judging by how the liquid surfaces in the containers were moving, I'd say a 4.6 on the Richter scale magnitude earthquake was happening, at about 5km depth.
lol
Guys! Come quick! These rocks are soft, warm, AND they have food on them! You can warm yourself, lounge, and eat AT THE SAME TIME!
I love all these lizards and candleflies. Use to live in the West Indies in the countryside, had tons of them. Decent, nice creatures! Wish they had them in Britain to clear out the insects too!
They are just way too cute!
Wow!!! I live on Oahu and we have a couple of these little guys that go through our trash and compost, they always run away when we get close, but im going to get some papaya or mango and see if they will eventually warm up to me like they did you!!! Love the video!
It's a beautiful thing when a human earns the trust of a wild animal.
When the video first started I thought you had a piece of fruit and a green bean in your hands and it turns out to be a gecko. They're pretty cute little dudes.
You had those geckos eating right out of the palm of your hand
i wonder why sometimes old videos like this are recommended (not complaining,usually they are great!)
They have such an odd name for being so green. I just call them Christmas Tree geckos.
Joshua Jezeski terrible name
Andrew Wood the name they came up with is not terrible it is very creative and the breed does resemble a decorated Christmas tree
CraftyKookie I'm not exactly clear on why a gecko requires a creative name, but okay
@@happymaskedguy1943 ah, a classic case of buzzkill syndrome.
I'm confused... You are talking about the name "gold dust day gecko"?
They are called day geckos because they are diurnal, while most geckos are nocturnal.
And the "gold dust" part of the name refers to the flecks of gold colouring.
I think that name suits them well enough
15% will save you on car insurance
It should be international law that all gecko videos must be edited with Yoshi mlem sound effects whenever a tongue is present.
Damn, those car insurance salesmen are everywhere...
What a bunch of silly little slicksters
Alright FINE, I'll get the dang insurance, GEEZ
geckos are just one of those animals that have nothing going against them. cute AND helpful, and they don't make messes. i'll always welcome them whenever they show up
02:38 You could see them thinking about it before hopping up. :D
They are so slow and fast at the same time
Probably discussing car insurance
I love seeing content like this. We have bearded dragons and we get crickets and keep them in a little cricket container. Well when the crickets start to die, what we do is we take the container outside and dump the crickets out. We did this for months without thought. One day we walked outside and all the little anoles came running out and literally sat at our feet and waited for us to dump the crickets. Apparently they had been watching us do this for months and realize when we came out with the container they got free food!
They came to eat and tell you that you can save hundreds on car insurance by switching to Geico!
Very cute! Love how they're exploring the table 😊
i'd prefer if a bumble bee or these geckos come to stay for feast, rather than ants and flies
This is what winning in life looks like.
Phelsuma laticauda, by far my favorite gecko. Such beauties, cameras can't come close to capturing the colors.
they are very polite.
Geckos 🦎 rule, Geico not so much ! 😂
I never realized that they were so tiny.❤️😍 I think that they are simply adorable.😁
Fyi there are even smaller geckos
This was so adorable. Thanks for sharing!
Seeing them hop back on the wall after they're done snacking was so cuuute 😭
Chinese: "Mmm that's aphrodisiac."
Mate, you've got an undiscovered Shrine of Light nearby.
Warm floor with good fruit 😁
you've got them eating out of the palm of your hand
All i hear is the Yoshi lick sound when i see them eating lol
Every time they lick, i hear the Yoshi sound effect.
It feels like somebody... WANTS TO SELL ME SOMETHING!
That guy who just went for the bowl xD xD
2:33 the little dangly feet omg
Those geckos are better behaved than humans.
most underrated video on youtube ever.
they look very vibrant and almost not too disgusting, very different from the filthy house geckos we have here in Southeast Asia
They were trying to tell you how you could save 15% or more on your car insurance
fueling up to hawk insurance
There was a time when geckos only ate insects. These days their favorite food seems to be bits of uncooked instant noodles. 🤣 Fruit, I've never seen them eat. I've never seen green house geckos either.
