When I was a kid before we had Google at our fingertips to find out care info I wanted a pet gecko. We went to the petstore and they suggested a Tokay gecko as a great friendly beginner gecko. They showed me the items/husbandry I would need to get to care for one, but boy were they so wrong and uneducated! They never suggested anything about uvb, heat, or humidity. So Everytime I would try to handle this Tokay gecko (Tiki), he would bite me. Even though he was still a juvenile his bite was brutal. He would latch on and not let go. I would have to pry his jaws off of me to get him to let go. Sadly I was never able to tame him although I tried because he wasn't being properly cared for. I now own a crestie and my daughter owns a Leo, and after doing so much research it saddens me to realize how he must've suffered because I was not told the correct way to care for him. I had no chance taming him because he was miserable not having the correct husbandry. My daughter and I both did significant research on both our Leo and crestie before getting them. It's so nice to be able to research care at your finger tips nowadays. Both our crestie and Leo are well cared for, thriving, and happy. I am currently saving up to buy a Leachianus gecko. They are so cool and look like baby dinosaurs 🦕

I have 2 texas banded geckos, which are closely related to westerns. However, they're much smaller, at only 3-4 inches as adults. Both of mine are captive bred, and they are both the best geckos I've ever kept! They are, in my experience, even more outgoing and curious than leos, and will come up to the glass and crawl onto my hand on their own. I especially love my male, who will ignore food in favor of exploring the "jungle gym" that my hands are to him. I've never kept westerns, but I'm still kinda hurt they made it onto the list. Of course you should always choose captive bred animals, but I don't think it's fair that they're marked down just because they aren't often bred in captivity. More people should definitely be keeping banded geckos, as they have so much charm and personality for such tiny beings!

They are a lot more forgiving of variations in their parameters, diurnal, bold and active. They eat the same diet as the Electric Blues, micro insects and crested gecko diet, and the males are a pretty blue and green. They are also egg laying machines.

He's good once he's out, not scared of other people when I'm holding him, I've gotten him to where he's not head sensitive. I've never had issues with him eating, and even after I moved 1200 miles he mellowed out very quickly and was back to exploring his enclosure in just 2 days.

My brother got a Tokay from a kind of shady store. They told him it was an easy keeper, and he was very new to keeping reptiles. He made a mistake like we all can. His was wild caught, it was horrible aggressive (territorial) and just overall a bad experience. My brother did go out of his way to make it a pretty amazing enclosure though. He took very good care of him/her. Ultimately he found someone who was much more experienced in reptile keeping at a show to take the Tokay. It was the best move. While pretty to look at, it was going to be much more enjoyed and handled by someone with experience.

Leopard geckos are absolutely amazing! I’ve had my girl for about a year now, but she’s close to two years old. She’s the sweetest little gecko, is so good at being handled (it took her a while to get comfortable with it, but positive reinforcement and not forcing it goes a long way), and is not picky at all when it comes to food. Surprisingly she’s smart as well (in the survivalist sense that if you provide her something essential she know’s what it’s for and uses it as much as she needs). She’s an absolutely delight to have, and I’d recommend a leopard gecko to everyone who owns reptiles. They’re just such amazing little critters 💕

Took about 2-3 months of daily work taming them down, slowly getting them use to the "big strange monster" they now live with, but they did calm down to the point of being able to handle them without getting bit or them running off the first chance they got.

I was devastated when I lost him. Had to give Buzz to a friend's younger brother due to not having the time to care for him once I entered high school. He went to his new home with explicit instructions to not handle him.

i always liked Tokay geckos over the other species for some reason. there colors and their general enviornment is appealing to me and also because they are fairly aggressive and i love a little challenge. also because their pretty big and cute. hopefully one day i can own one and give it a big nice enclosure :)

Cool vid, we had a Tokek living in our roof when we stayed in Bali and we saw a bunch out in the street one night after it rained and all the insects came out was super cool

I’ve always thought of Leachies as gecko versions of Basset Hounds. Short limbs and loose skin.

I disagree on Tokays. They are vicious little monsters until you bond with them. Once you overcome the tenacious defensiveness of a Tokay and earn their trust, they are the greatest pet in the world. I had 3 that were complete puppy dogs… it took me over a year of constant work before they bonded with me but it was so worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat…

I just found your content and I love it! I have only ever owned cats so reptiles are something so intriguing to me. I don’t think I’ll ever own any reptiles of my own, but I love learning about any and all kind of reptiles. Thank you for making such educating and entertaining videos! P.S. My cat likes watching your videos… but probably for the wrong reasons. He loves watching the reptiles move across the screen. Lol! Thank you for your video.

I love tokay geckos, but I wouldn't recommend them for everyone. Years ago, I had two of them and found them quite enjoyable, but I was well aware that I needed to keep my finger away from those snapping jaws. Bites from these geckos are unusually nasty for their size, so it is absolutely necessary to be alert and cautious when working with them. Their vile attitudes are entertaining, and their defensive behavior makes them easy to feed. Open the cage, and the gecko will open its mouth wide, preparing to bite. Put some food near its mouth (use tongs!), and those powerful jaws will snap shut like a bear trap. As soon as the gecko realizes that the object in its mouth is food and not a finger, it will eagerly gobble it up. I used to give them scraps of meat as a supplement to insects. They probably need insects for a properly balanced diet, but maybe an alternative diet that doesn't involve annoying live insects would be feasible - some research would certainly be required to make sure their dietary requirements are met. Captive bred specimens might be less nasty, and should be preferred anyway, but I wouldn't be inclined to let my guard down around them. If I ever get geckos again, I'll look for captive bred tokay geckos. Other species might make better pets, but I can't imagine any of them being as much fun as tokay geckos.

Years ago I was unpacking a shipment containing Tokays and many other reptiles and wearing thick leather gloves. One Tokay bit into my finger so hard that it penetrated the leather and wouldn't let go. I had to run it under a cold tap for 15 minutes before it finally released my finger. No, wild-caught Tokays are not for beginers, but there is no reason anymore for anyone to be buying wild-caught!

I've had my crestie for almost a year and I'm considering getting another pet gecko. Leaning towards a leopard gecko, but might try one of the other New Caledonia geckos like a chewie. Leos are super cute though. Side note: as a preschool teacher I'll point out that absolutely no pet- reptile, bird, small mammal etc. should be handled by a small child. Young children just don't have the self restraint or understanding to be gentle enough. The only exception to this rule might be a well-trained dog or maybe cat, who are big enough and intelligent enough to generally be able to avoid a small child's grasping hands.

An animal shouldn't be considered the "worst" to own because of price or the rarity of it. It should be how hard it is to take care of it, the habitats, the diet etc.

rarity is tied to the lack of experience in the community and therefor lack of recourses available. I explain this in the video.

one thing i hated about having a leopard gecko (i assume this goes for all reptiles) is the yearly cleaning... having to empty the tank and clean it... and then straining the sand to remove pebbles... ugh... idk i found it very challenging to even feed also, having to count crickets, dust them, and then possible removing them if they don't finish.

I miss viper geckos. You used to see them all the time and now a lot less. Their care isn't hard and for their tiny size they're sooo chill. And my goodness they're precious cute. And with the tiny size it's so easy and affordable to keep them in a good enclosure.
