How NOT To Breed Your PET Leopard Geckos | REACTION

After many messages of people inspired by Solid Gold Aquatics / Jennifer Lynx's videos about how she bred her two pet leopard geckos, I thought it was about time I reacted to and explained why what she did was very risky, and should not be copied.

I love how people thought this was a face reveal LOL

[itssassysarah]

Jess: I want a piece of Sylvia so im going to breed Sylvia - owning both Sylvia and Rune
Also Jess: I think two leopard geckos is enough for me right now
*….then..then why breed her if you don’t want any more geckos?*

I breed Leopard geckos, at a small scale, and the amount of cash and learning I did BEFORE my first clutch took around A YEAR, and I'm 40 yrs old. Can people just casually breed? Yes. Should people casually breed? N0! - you got no idea how much I cringed while watching her "roll the eggs on her hand casually". Like, "Girl! Mark those eggs so at very least know what it's the top part!" - but according to her video, my impression was she litery kiIIed the rest of the eggs regardless of being fertile (and she just """incubated""" two).

Rebecca, I am really glad you are reacting to this. I know you aren't someone that likes drama and this probably wasn't easy for you.

[AvenRox]

"I already have two geckos I don't want any more" then why breed them? Unless you want to become a breeder, but like even then you need the room for them and need an INCUBATOR. I don't have reptiles (but I would love to when I have space for one!!) but even I know this.

Such important but more difficult topics to handle with this video! I really appreciate you bringing this to light for those who don’t realize all the implications and ethical discrepancies possible!

[hanana]

I love what you do. You take so much time to inform others about proper care. You changed my set up from reptile carpet and exactly 3 plastic hides in a 10 gal, to a 20 gal with 4 plastic hides and other hiding spots under fake plants, wood, and a reptile lounger. He has loose substrate (cocoa fiber) and a varied diet. Thank you so much for helping him thrive.

when she said she didn’t feel like buying supplies and you edited in Oprah.. I’m 💀 OMG and I just heard her saying she is giving them away. I’m disgusted

[MikeTytula]

It's really sad to see someone who is breeding just for the sake of breeding. You mentioned that selling the babies can be difficult, this is especially true with the more common species without having any hint as to genetics and overall health.

I’ve stopped watching Jenny years ago back when she was all about her goldfish. Just hearing her talk about wanting a baby female gecko so she breeds her older female with no proper knowledge or equipment to then, mess up and not want to keep the life she forced into existence… sounds like a child in a petsmart returning the hamster Bc it has balls

I bred my Leo’s once over quarantine and 5 out of 6 came out unhealthy, they seem to be stunted and are a little skinny at a year and a half old. They look like they’re stuck in the 3 month stage. I surely think I just didn’t give them the correct supplements while growing up . Only one baby is chunky, and actually looks like a grown gecko. From my lack of education and experience, I have made a mistake. Will I ever breed again? Nope

[GeekyGeckoCreations]

Thanks for sharing ur videos ate always informative!🥳

[FinchsFauna]

I completely agree with everything you mention in the video!! What she did was extremely irresponsible.

[crittercrner]

Isn’t that the same person that complained about pettubers encouraging pet hoarding? Yet she’s encouraging irresponsible breeding.

If you’re looking to breed geckos, then do mourning geckos first. They are incredibly easy and will teach you a lot about raising baby geckos.

[BlueAnoli]

Thanks for educating 🙏 This is so important

[Alexis-gjkz]

Yes!! Couldn’t agree more with this video. I was so disappointed when Jenny did this. Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the community!

[supershepherd]

I use to consider breed my leopard gecko. But frankly, not only is the market over saturated, but I love my girl too much to risk something happening to her.

[sarahbarker]

I have so many questions about her choices and I wouldn’t know where to start 🙃

Thank you for spreading awareness about this #geckocrew
