Crested Gecko vs Leopard Gecko - Head To Head

Crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus), and leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) are both very popular pets, and that is because they are both adorable, and they are both fantastic pet reptiles. They are stinkin' rad! But which is the best pet reptile? To figure that out, we will have to put them head to head!

I love how informative and non-biased you are. It's so helpful for people wanting to make an informed decision on which reptile is right for them. Though I personally now find myself turning into the Lizard Queen! XD Amazing channel dude.

Clint can't decide if he wants to hold his leopard gecko or let it walk

[panicloki]

leopard gecko owner here and I absolutely love my leopard gecko. I hope to get a crested gecko soon though. they're both beautiful creatures in my opinion!

[brenna]

This is just what I needed! I can’t decide between a Leopard Gecko or a Crested Gecko! It is so hard to choose! Thanks, for this video so so much!

Yay! My two faves :) I got introduced to Leopard Geckos because of you in July! 2 days after I bought my first Leo named Dandy. He’s doing super well and I document his growth every week. Thanks for making these awesome videos. Because of you I have a new pet to love and cherish xoxo perhaps one day I’ll get a Crestie as well!

[sbird]

I've had my crestie for a year, my very first pet reptile, and I'm now planning to get a leopard gecko too. They're both so cute, it was inevitable that I'd cave and get both!

[peccavi]

I had a leopard gecko when I was at uni until my landlord found out... he was called Statham and used to chill on my chest while we watched films.
The amount of times I used to nod off and wake up in a panick only to find him chilling on my shoulder under my hair.
He was the easiest most relaxing pet I ever had.

The ONLY down side is he used to poop on people sometimes and the amount they wee when they go will easily soak the full thigh section on a pair of Jean's!

[megalodon]

I love my leopard gecko - it's basically a hamster in easy mode. Very underrated pets and cute as heck. The only thing I could criticize them on are those pesky crickets they want or don't want to eat sometimes.

[oliviapaige]

Could you show us all your replies that would be so cool!

[emmylynperkeroid]

Got many Cresties, really sweet, they're all hand trained, I give them Rapashy, Pangea and a variety of suitable fruits as a treat, aswell as some crickets for the ones who like them. They're all doing great x

[MegaloGater]

Have a beautiful little crestie myself since 5 years now :) got him a few weeks after he hatched at a local breeder. can recommend wholeheartedly!

[ashleighsamuels]

I always ask, but please I'd love to see a Tokay video!

They are such misunderstood beautiful little demons lizards haha, and id love for people to have a better understanding of them.

Iv managed to tame my little devil dinosaur, it can be done!!

[mudkipmania]

I own both and I think they’re both equally awesome. I love watching them hunt, my Leopard gecko has a bit of an easier to handle temperament but they’re both still really good pets :)

[Aquarimax]

Great video Clint! I really enjoy your enthusiasm, attention to accurate detail, and production quality. I have subscribed.

[jaidadeschamps]

I really love how enthusiasm you are. It’s truly so inspiring how much fun you have by the making of these videos, and they really helped
me a lot thank you so much and I think I am now going to get a crusted gecko❤️

I own both species and more. Personally I think leopard geckos are the greatest all round lizard of all. Whilst I admit they are not necessarily my favourite they are the best to keep. There just so easy and rewarding. Rewarding in the sense they feel more of a typical pet. They are more your “buddy” than a crested is. Cresteds feel more “wild” so to speak. Which is great still. There just very different I feel. Both great pets non the less

[princessevileyethezoo]

Love your comparison & education. I have kept both and found no end of frustration with my Leopards. My Crestie was the easiest boy in the world - although I do keep my house on the warm side. Personally, I think for a kid, I would recommend the Crestie first. It could be in a quiet corner of the family room & if the kid *did* give up care; all the parent has to is mix food every other day + mist 2x/day vs crickets & worms, vitamin powder, heat/humidity checks on a Leo. ... again, this is my idea, but I love your presentation and enthusiasm. I’m been binge watching your channel today!
