Leopard Geckos VS Crested Geckos

Good Morning, Reptilians! It's another comparison video: this week we're looking at leopard geckos vs crested geckos. This is probably the most requested vs video lately, and it makes sense as these are two of the most recommended "beginner reptiles". I thought this would would be fun to compare, as they are both so easy to care for, but so different in terms of care.

How the hell does this channel ONLY have 25k subs?? It’s way too helpful

Omg your necklace is adorable! I have a similar one and I love it ❤️
I have a question, what does your tattoo say? You might have mentioned it in a previous video but I don’t remember!

[taelerjackson]

From what I can see, that tattoo is really cute!

[OpenWorldGirlMR]

My normal leopard gecko was $52 but that’s because I was supporting a very small family owned pet shop in my small town, you gotta compete with those big box store prices. But I’d much rather give more of my money to a small business 💕

[jefflove]

Just found your channel thanks for the information. Love smart and competent content.

Liked and subscribed.

[jacke]

Thanks you so much for the tips! I'm still stuck on which one to pick for when I get one! They're both just so adorable it's hard to pick only one.

[allysoncramer]

Love your videos. I'm currently getting stuff for my tank for a crested gecko. Are u going to any repticons this year?

[dezmondharris]

I more a fan of crested geckos because they remind me of my 5 year old self, always jumping around 😂😂❤️

[ickythegeckoo]

My crested gecko doesn’t move at night or day time she’s always assleep

[cavinbardi]

You are always a bright light of information in the YT world of animals, you have such an awesome personality and give experienced examples instead of simple facts & charts. Thank you for being so Amazing!!! 😎👍

[blakelyn]

So I am wanting to get a leopard or a crested for my office at work but I am trying to decide which one would be better. (Not that I’m trying to be lazy at all) but which would be a cleaner living space as far as smells goes?

[dacisky]

I got my first lizard last Friday from Animal Trax. It's 3 months old and cute as a button.Anyway, your videos are always interesting and insightful.

[brandonbaker]

I was the tie breaker for the thumbnail😂

[loispadgett]

I love both the same. I have heard crested geckos will only drink from running water but my crested goes down and drinks out of her water dish. I had not thought of premixing and putting it in a squeeze bottle in fridge thanks for that idea.
GOD BLESS and have a great Sunday.

I watch and love your videos. I have a 28 gallon aquarium with a false bottom (hydro balls, egg crate, window screen). The substrate is a block of eco earth, a bag of reptile bark, a bag of Zilla Jungle Mix, 2 cups of worm castings. Sphagnum moss is placed in a corner. Plants are a spider plant and a pothos.
I just don't know what to put inside the aquarium. I hope that your videos help me find an animal to put inside it.

[tonyflamingosucks]

In my opinion I think crested geckos need uv light more, a lot of them will sleep on the side of the tank or on a branch where even though they’re asleep the sun light is still shining on them. They’re more exposed to uv light than leopard geckos tbh

[mariahrose]

With leopard geckos, since you put calcium in the tank without d3 do you give them calcium with d3 on the daily or whenever you feed them?

[sarahleeann]

Which is more fun to watch? Like more active in their tanks (during their awake times, obviously). Like I just want to watch little dude do his thing

[skylarutd]

Thanz for putting time stamps. They r so helpful

[Lroselovely]

My crested geckos poop on me WAY more often then my Leo does, but that could just be my guys! 🤣
