26 Year old Leopard Gecko

[DanielPereira4444]

this video it's kinda sad...

[4Aln]

is he still living

[ESquidey]

I have a 5 year old gecko, now that i see that you keep him off sand and try to avoid handling him too much (something i love to do, play with him) ill try to do those things.

[foxracing279]

oh god i hope mine doesnt last for 26 years

[CruelMaple]

@foxracing279 why??!!

[foxracing279]

@CruelMaple its a pain in the ass getting crickets and it doesnt do anything. not really a good pet

[MRRUBBY]

Mines 10 years old now. Pretty amazing how long they can live

[lizardz2137]

hey can you make a video on how to take care of a leopard gecko?

[watermeloneatsurking]

Geckos are awsome. Mine is about 15 years old now. Got my best bud, Lizzy, in 96.

[lightsaberboy08]

do you ever hold her???

[rcocker]

@lightsaberboy08 Yes, I hold her when I remove shed from her fingers, and when I clean her terrarium. She is quite tame but I leave her alone to keep her stress level low.

[AwesomeVideos1995]

That's good. I wish Dink good luck!

[xOCPx]

why do you only feed two crickets?

[rcocker]

@xOCPx She usually loses interest after 2 crickets.

[TheCadetsRock]

Thanks! :) I just learned that "Giant Leopard Gecko" doesn't mean adult...Tia's going to be HUGE!!! at least she won't be pushed around by Cowboy! :)

[xOCPx]

what's the song?

[rcocker]

Eden, by Hooverphonic

[Boggedbox]

she's so cute when she sees the cricket. :)

[TheCadetsRock]

aw that makes me miss my first leo i had, Dash! she looked kind of like yours, but she died when she was 3 from eating sand... now i have Cowboy (dash's mate) and a new 1 year old, Tia Dalma!

[rcocker]

Long live Cowboy! I hope he doesn't miss Dash too much.

[pspfanboy100]

@TheCadetsRock When mine was I think 4 years old he ate sand and all of his organs became clogged up. Poor thing couldn't eat or drink for 3 weeks. We came up with an idea as a last resort and just squirted tons of baby oil into his mouth. After another 3 days, he passed all of the impacted sand. He is still living today at almost 13 years old. I saved his life!

[CKemp1991]

I love your vids! Please check out mine and subscribe man!

Thanks alot.

[pandahustl3r]

25 years?!?! I was thinking about picking up leo but thats a commitment and a half

[cheeseballs85]

dont worry most are not that old

[MILM0E]

Dink is amazing. The songs fits too. Willl you ever pick up a companion for her?

[rcocker]

A companion would be a lot of stress for her at this point, and she's definitely too old to mate. Although silly, I like to think of me and my friends as her companions. lol

[poisenfrog7]

When is Dink's next B-day?

[rcocker]

She'll be adopted 26 years ago on March, 18 but she was already many months old when she was adopted.

[Eublephare]

SO cute and well owned and cared. Mine one, Bart, is only 5 :) Good luck to Dink!

[pineapplekitten79]

Dink is one beautiful and well cared for gecko I hope mine live as long they are like my 2 babies :)

[oxoJedoxo]

[sSsBelsSs3]

[MexicanBlindCaveFish]

[laurenandgeckos]

[geckokid94]

[biglarry345]

lol the leos 10 years older then me thats nuts i hope mine lives that long

[alexbun345]

Lol shes older than me

[NYYGecko44]

you kept him in great shape..... my leos havent died yet.... bout 3 years! when i get a crested gecko it always gets mouth rot....

[rcocker]

That's a shame about the mouth rot. Crested geckos are so cool looking. Aren't they the ones that can climb glass walls?

[NYYGecko44]

yea they r they get really big

[capcaliber]

Your Leo is almost as old as I am. Lol. Keep up the good work!

[slushygecko]

What do you do to your leopard gecko to keep him alive for that long?

[bakerrider69]

that's really amazing looks like he's had a great life for him to have bean on earth for 24 years hope he's doing well and having a great life

[pspfanboy100]

what a well lived gecko, when he dies please post a memorial video.

[Lushoverthebridge]

[Reptilekid97]

[freewillsacrifice]

Go dink ! Hope you will have many many years to come. Nice gecko rcocker :)

[rcocker]

Hey, thanks.

[BalisticBean]

go dink!

[rcocker]

Dead crickets are just much easier for me. I was concerned about her health when I switched to canned crickets, but that was about 4 years ago and she's been very healthy since then. I do occasionally get her live ones so she can run around.

[GlobalAndy]

hey why dead crickets?

[LeopardaGecko]

Very cool gecko,

[DENZIS666]

You can tell she's really old, still going strong though!

[josiahsaenz123]

wow thats probaly your best friend but the thing is that will be sad when he/she dies because what all u guys been through

[kbamch92]

i get happy knowing people like u give animals a second chance and house them so well they live to be this old. Hope he gets to go beyond 30 :)

[lizardlover12]

i can't believe he's 25 years old that is so awesome

[ReptileBeasts]

is he albino or anythin like tht

[rcocker]

She's a standard Leopard Gecko. Twenty-five years ago, when Dink was purchased, the fancy breeds were extremely rare and not available in pet stores.

[ReptileBeasts]

has dink ever dropped his tail?

[rcocker]

Never dropped a tail. I'm Dink's second caretaker and I'm still good friend's with the first owner an he says she never dropped a tail either. Her tail used to come to a perfect point but she lost about 2mm of it due to poor shedding. I keep the cage more humid since then. Its a huge tail and I'm not sure why.

[markgilst]

Dink's tail is probably huge because of so much fat stored in there after 25 years.

[kbamch92]

he may be old but he is still a sexy gecko lol. Kinda looks like my grandpa.

[TXLink08]

thats a long time and I hope he lives longer

[rubberbandman1997]

2 more years to go. good luck dink

[vipergecko8]

wow this is a very special leopad gecko thats for sure :)

[razgriz1240]

lets see if Dink can break the record. i believe it is 27.

[nijntje4]

you must have a good bond with him, and it would be really sad if het dies

[GaryGecko12]

keep going Dink!

[whadyano]

Still looking great! 5 Stars!

[mattdaviestv]

wow awsome lil fella he is and 25 years of age thats amazing and another amazing thing hes a normal leopard gecko one of the originals haha

[BalisticBean]

Go Dink! congrats on 25 years!

[yippyhippyyippy]

[95Gokey123]
