  • i though that geckos regrew there tail when it fell off and when it regrew it looked like that

    igot it from the gecko book i got for my gecko

    im not 108!!!!!!!

  • she's so cute

  • aw, very cute:P

  • That is the cutest thing ever

  • i saw my gecko do this,when a cricket was climbing the background,

  • Bless :) Looks like a mini crocodile :)

  • do you cut off the worms heads? cause some1 told me to do tht. should i?

  • very cute

  • nice gecko.

    nice jumping :D

    too bad he/she only jumped twice.

    <3 not bad.

  • Feisty little girl isn't she?

  • adorable :)

  • i taught mine to do that

    try to make them jump when there babies then they will be able to later

  • ha mine did that... it scaared me at first..lol

  • omg she is sooo very cute :) and that very fat tail looks realy healthy. u are very lucky.

    and the way she jumps up is like a crocodile leaping out of water ^^

  • does it bite? lool

  • No. Maya is very docile. She's been handled since she was young.

  • Fat tails = healthy gecko. It's where they store extra nutrients and fat. Doesn't have anything to do with their gender as far as I know.

    Very cute video, by the way. :)

  • hay all u leopard gecko owners, do u shut off your geckos heat lights at night??????i have been and dont know if u should? comment me pleez.

  • thats not a leopard gecko...that has to be a fat tail gecko...am i right?

  • Wrong... she is a leo. She has a very fat tail because she's a healthy eater.

  • oh i see......sorry mine has a skinny tail what should i do

  • It depends on how skinny. If it's like extremely thin, to the point of almost seeing bone, take it to a vet pronto. If it still has fat content, you might want to try feeding more frequently or by gut-loading crickets or mealworms before you feed it to your gecko. I occasionally give wax worms to my geckos as treats.

  • i have to leopred geckos your is really a boy thats why its tail is fat. they are so much fun to have i love mine

  • Nope, she's a girl. She lays eggs hun. lol

  • When do they lay eggs?

  • lol the lizard is cute

  • does anybody no if it is good or bad for a leopard gecko to have a fat or skinny tail. mines goes on and off???

  • fat

  • how u get tail that fat

  • Geckos are storing fat in their tails.

  • haha! sweet leopard gecko! she is pretty too. I think shes an eclipseXnormal.

  • A little dramatic? Nah, its pretty cool

  • Lol NICE jump =)

  • thats so tite!!

  • omfg

  • whats the songs name someone message me and tell me

  • what song???

  • 'Clocks' by Coldplay

  • my gecko luna does that! haha! and i was holding my cousins gecko (which is her sister) and she jumped out of my hands into the trashcan.... haha she was fine, completely fine, but it was odd digging in the trash for a gecko....

  • What light do you use?

  • In this video I was using a 75w Infared bulb by ZooMed

  • remove the sand before you kill it

  • Dude, this video was made before I switched her over to carpet. But thanks for caring! lol

  • is maya still growing in this video

  • You and your gecko(s) Rock! I can't wait for mine to grow up :)

  • 5 Stars

  • I Have a ? do you use Hot Rocks Because i got a book saying not to get hot rocks and im going to get a Leopard Gecko so help me please

  • Yeah I never reccomend using the electric hot rocks. They dont turn off if they get too hot and some lizards can actually get burns on their stomachs from laying on them. I haven't heard any good things about them. So I wouldn't try one.

  • Awsome gecko she's so pretty.

  • Thank you!

  • mines too lazy to do that kind of stuff now lol. Need to get him back on crickets so he can get some exercize chasin em

  • hey how do I get my gecho to get used to coming out and go on my shoulder and stuff I got it when i was in 3rd grade and I always tryed playing with it but it always runs away once it got lost and luckily i found her

  • maybe you should try talking to your leo, it sounds funny but it works for me because they become interested in you and they will come out of their homes to see you. it may also be your leo's personality, it might be a shy one so it is aware and scared of things.

  • oh yeah, Leopard Gecko can jump. I learn this hard way when I wag my finger at female and she jump and bite my finger 8 to 10 inch off ground I think

  • sorry to say but she is a he

  • Haha funniest comment yet!!! Sorry to burst your bubble, but Maya is 100% female. Unless you know of a male leopard gecko that lays eggs??? Hahaha. I'm pretty sure her mate Tao wont appreciate you looking up her skirt! Shame shame... just kiddin.

  • beast

  • my geeko is lazy hunter >.>

  • No reason to jump all over Cooper he just dsaid he wanted a pet that's active a lot (though you are right about not getting Geckos at first glance)

    Cooper I'd suggest looking into looking into getting a Crested there one of the easier Geckos but they're fun to watch and like to jump around at nigh. Just make sure you do your research first

  • that gecko looks exactly like one of mine!!! im gonna try it with her

  • OK copper2225 u don't get a pet just because it's all interesting at first glance and then just get rid of it when it gets "boring". U get a pet because u want to take care of it for the rest of it's life and know that u will still find it interesting 10 years from now. copper2225 it's people like u that make me sick u get pets just for looks and they're all cute then they grow to big or get boring and u just abandon it. that is animal abuse and u should never b allowed to have another pet.

  • Do these get boring after awhile? i had a hamster and it gets sooo boring.

    please reply

  • im gonna try this with my gecko

  • what do they do . do they just sit around.

  • no they're one of the more active lizards, ecspecially at night, they dig with most of their time

  • That tail is beautiful

  • My girlfriends Gecko passed away a few months ago and she gave me all her stuff, so I went out and bought 2 snakes which escaped and are now living amongst me and my room...(I find their shedding all the time xD) and now I have a leo in the tank just like her old one...except albino :O I just got him last night :D yay.

  • mines albino

    type "lezard eatin" on youtube n u can see mine

  • i know a lot about these creatures, but i never actually seen mine jump (unless you count jumping of his toy cactus)

  • a have a jumping gecko too i named mine spiderman

  • My Leo died last night, I woke up at 5:00am at night and looked at the cage. It was if I could sense it. She was dead. I buried her and went to work :( wanted to cry all day. . . Her name was Pieces. Anyhow, Clocks is the song I listened to while I was in a mess about her death. . . 7 years we shared together. . .

  • I'm really sorry about the loss of Pieces. It takes a long time to heal after losing a pet. I bet it was a good 7 years. It will get better over time.

  • Thanks, it was a good 7 years. It's gotten a bit better. When you have something for so long, it's hard to believe that in one instance it can be gone for good. Anyhow, you got a cute gecko!

  • My gecko does that, except I feed him crikets in a dish.

  • funny

  • thats called teasing.and the reasen its jumping is probly because its underfed.

  • Does she look underfed to you?? I'm sorry but she gets a wide variety of foods and this is only something I do with her on occasion. Read some previous posts... her tail being nice and fat says it all.

  • get her off the sand or she WILL get an impatcin and die.

  • I will reply to this one more time and that is all. Maya is not on sand anymore. Until people can produce a sand for sale that is healthy and safe for reptiles, I will not use it.

  • don't worry, sand aint the problem at all. The only thing you got to make sure of is that the tank is a save place for the animal. which means don't let him jump all the time and no sharp objects and of course not too deep water since these animals can drown then. about 1cm deep is enough. water is not only used by drinking but also shedding of it's skin, so wide it can be about half the size of the animal up to full size

  • I would suggest adding more hides to your enclosure. Leopard Geckos need a minimum of 3 hides a dry/warm hide a dry/cool hide and a warm/moist hide. Leopard Geckos can become stressed without hiding places.

  • This is only showing 1 side of her tank. She has 2 hiding places on the oppososite side. Really good information though for newbies!

  • Mine's name is Theo....It's funny they sometimes look like they are smiling xD its adorable

  • thats pretty neat. my albino likes to get up on her drift wood and jump at the cage lid. shes quite the drama queen. i use a red light with a combination of basking during the day then just the red at night. keeps it nice and warm.

  • AWWE :D

  • im thinking of buying one but...wat size container do i need?

  • I would say at least a 20L but I've seen some people keep them in 1o gallons (but I just dont think they are big enough for an adult)

  • i no i got an African fat tailed gecko basically the same thing n i have him in a 40 gallon with 5 hiding places n still loads of room 4 him to play in

  • thats funny

    ...what size tank is that??

  • My leo jumps as well, only for crickets though. It's so weird, I've got a kind of Styrofoam rock wall on one side of the cage, and she jumps up off a branch onto it and sticks there. She has gotten into the habit of crawling up and down the wall, too.

  • aww she so cute

  • has to be a giant look at the tail

  • i want one!

  • my male tangerine does this hes a hungry boy. ur gecko is so fat![in a good way] verry healthy

  • Yes it is a red light, i dont use them but apparently the gecko's cant see the light nut we can,people use them so you can see the gecko at night.

  • nice video

    my own geckos are to lazy as well

    how many times do you feed your gecko???

  • Awesome jumping leo! I dont have any vids of the leos. Will have to work on that!

  • nice geckos

  • My gecko has actually jumped 6+ inches before and I woke up today and it is nowhere to be found in it's cage. I can't find her anywhere in my room or any other room upstairs. I don't know what to do. :( I have 2 cats by the way. Going to be posting another video trying to figure out what happened.

  • very healthy, very nice gecko. Great big fat tail. very simple setup makes it easier on the geckos. You should feed Maya a mixture of mealworms, crickets and silkworms. Silkworms are very nutritious and geckos love the taste.

  • Nice Vid.

    My leo is a little lazy....

    Mind if i ask how often Maya sheds? im a little concerned about my own leo.

  • very nice gecko and gr8 setup 5 star

  • wow.thats great!HAHAHA...i should try doing that to my gecko =b

  • any gecko can do that still cute tho is there like a pink sand

  • That is amazing!

    Guitar5525 is right too!

    Thats one healthy leo!!

  • When did Maya start jumping like that?

    Guitar5525 is ridht, thats one healthy Leo!

    :)

  • Dont feed it with tongs it will damage its mouth when it bites them! Happened to axolotyls.

  • How many of you guys and gals out their breed your own mealworms? It's really simple. It saves a lot of money too from having to buy mealworms.

  • where did u get that red heat lamp

  • I got it from petsmart.

  • how u breed meal worms:D! tell me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • sweet gecko

  • Mealworms are very healthy. That eating through a stomach is complete BS, mealworms contain just as much nutrients as crickets, they just don't move as much. Sand is only bad for juvies, although paper towel, tile, or carpet is better.

    That's a pretty cool trick your leo can do, and it looks nice and healthy too, nice fat tail!

    Good vid man and nice gecko!

  • sand is only bad for juveniles if they're adult geckos they will digest the sand besides calcuim is good for geckos

  • lol that is sweet, but its obvious she'll jump if your hovering food over her lol, mine tried to jump to get something that was on top of her tank once and hit her head bless, yours seems really fat (not in a horrible way lol, has she lost her original tail?)

  • She jumps all the time it seems. No, she has never once lost her tail.

  • ok cool, thanks for replying anyway, have you had any that have lost their tail? im really worried about mine losing hers, :( she seems so fragile and delicate.

  • None of mine have lost their tails before. But I have cared for some that have been mistreated that had lost their tails and they all grew back to look almost the same. They dont quite grow back looking the way they did before. Just dont pinch the tail and you shouldnt have any problems ;o)

  • my gecko doesnt eat meal worms!

  • how cool, mines to lazy to jump lol

  • what size tank?

  • I keep Maya in a 20 long terrarium. The same for my other two Leopard geckos : Tao and Tara.

  • its not nice to tease! lol

  • why does every one give their geckos meal worms they can live after getting chomped and bore holes throught the geckos stomach

  • I have to disagree with this one. You might be thinking of superworms, but mealworms are very healthy. I have never heard of a mealworm eating through the stomach of a leo. Ron Tremper uses them with his leos and he is a very well know leopard gecko breeder.

  • myth.

  • yeah my female leo does that too, she looks exactly like maya.

  • cute! my leo's love2 dig

  • talented gecko! lol i mean even though i want one i hope i get one

  • SWEET!, I've had a leopord gecko 4 a while, i was wondering what should his cage temp be?

  • You gecko should not be on sand. You should switch to solid substrate like repti-carpet or paper towels.

  • My Leo does that too

  • Calcium sand is not degestible. All those things alunda mentioned are bad, too.

  • Alunda01 is wrong. Pine and cedar shavings cause toxic reactions in reptiles, hardwood chips shredd thier intestines, gravel can cause gastric blockage, corn cob and crushed walnut shells will cut up thier mouths/insides, kitty litter is designed to clump when wet, so that will cause iimpaction, potting soil has pesticides and firtilizer in it and perlite can be toxic I think, and nobody has studied the long-term affects of using printed newspaper. Calcium sand encourages ingestion, wich is bad.

  • I can't wait till next week. my brother and i are getting two Leopard Geckos!

  • What kind did you get?

  • skill

  • hey i bought 2 leopard geckos 2 days ago and the 1 is like normal healthy but the oter 1 seems somewhat depressed/emo lol. . . what would b the cause of this?? n e sudjestions/comments n e thing???i need some help im a first time owner of n e kind of reptile

  • How are they doing now? Hopefully the shy one is coming around.

  • if you liked this video! check out my video of my gecko eating a wax worm!!!

  • i hav a leopard named Rexxy and this vid reminds me of him!

  • cute! what's the name of the song...?

  • clocks-cold play

  • something by coldplay i think

  • smart lizard!

  • lol mine does that too its hilarious

  • hey all i wanted to ask a question maybe someone can help answer i heard sand is bad for leopard geckos but was wandering what about calcium sand cause aparentley this is a digestable sand substance used for reptiles.

  • avoid silica, recommended are Cedar, pine or other wood shavings, Hardwood chips, Gravel, Crushed corn cob, Crushed walnut shells, Kitty litter, Bark chips, Sawdust, Potting soil with perlite (little white balls), or avoid it all together with newspaper. calcium should be fine, though i'd put it in a seperate container so they can reach it as they need.

  • Never use Cedar or Pine, it will kill your reptiles. Cedar and Pine are toxic to reptiles.

  • you fucking retard dont tell people to use a certain bedding when the kind you recomended will kill there animal all of the things you named suck and dangerous besides paper and calci sand.

  • NOOOO!  Not cedar! They arent Hamsters. Before I even got a leopard gecko I read everywhere i looked that cedar WILL kill them. Sands specifically for leopard geckos are easy to come by and run for about $7 a bag.

  • Cedar is bad for Hamsters too.

  • I completely agree with this as well. It's only really good to use in dog beds to help keep mites and other bugs away. Cedar causes too many problems with the respiratory systems in small, fragile pets.

  • you should consult a exotic veternarian and/or get some books and/or read your owners phamplet

  • I use slate

  • hey please don't use any sort of sand, ignore every stupid person that says a substrate is ok, the only safe and non hazadous flooring is kitchen towel believe it or not. My gecko luna is fine on that, plus its more hygienic when needing remove waste, please dont use anything other than this

  • Sand is VERY bad for leopard geckos because they pick up a bit of it when they eat and they become impacted.Calcium sand is EVEN WORSE this is because it is a little jagged and no matter what pet stores want you to think it is NOT digestible.The geckos are also encouraged to eat the sand because ofthe calcium which is not good.What Alunda01 said is wrong. Everything he/she listed is not good for the same reasons. The best is tiles, reptile carpet, or just paper towels.

  • yah its good for them,i use it.

  • Sand can cause impaction, but shouldn't if its fine enougth (only put adults on sand though). Calcium sand doesn't but they may actualy eat it. Some people clain you should use reptile carpet, but then other people say they can get caught on the fibres. The only 100% safe substrate is newspaper or kitchen towl, but if you want a realistic looking substrate, read books or go on a forum and read about peoples experiances etc. then you can decide which you feel is safest for your lizard.

  • I have leopard geckos and both sand and calcium sand can be bad for them! The best substates are papertowel and reptile carpet. I got this info from many websites and the local reptile breeder. Hope I helped

  • let me give you a better answer than sand is stupid. calci sand is only safe for larger reptiles. a gecko's digestive system is far too sensitive for sand.

  • Cool! I've never seen a leopard gecko doing that. It's so cute!!!! It seems like a crocodile, lol!

  • I just got a male that looks similar:)

  • do leopard geckos need vegetables and fruits or just live foods with an occasional calcium powdered on to it

  • do leopard geckos need vegetables and fruits or just live foods with an occasional calcium powdered on to it
