If just one baby escaped, and enough fruit flies escape the hands of death long enough for her to mature, she could create a rescue team to save her mothers! That's wild😂
@@leafystreetCan you teach them to skateboard? Give the ladies a tech deck or two. If the ladies can pop ollies out like they do eggs, it’ll be straight steeze trust me
@@mateuszmolenda4823So they kind of are in a way. This specific kind of gecko, called mourning geckos, reproduces asexually through a process called parthenogenesis. They really only have females in the species, so essentially they decided they didn't need no man and started just having babies by themselves, with the help of other females to stimulate the egg laying process. They don't technically need that either, they can start reproducing without another tank mate as well.
I was originally gonna get some mourning geckos but I realized how tiny and how fast they were. So I just decided to get a gargoyle lol. And also thanks for the gargoyle facts on my last comment I've decided to get one for fuji RIP...
This is such an impeccably-crafted videos. I really had no idea that any vertebrate animal could, like, clone themselves!!! Super informative and charming and entertaining! I love you lesbian geckos
I bought and kept a Marbled/Self-Cloning Crayfish (an oddity whose history you should look into). I was very eager as her first batch of eggs were massive and I thought I'd have access to both pets & food. She climbed out of the aquarium and released all of her offspring throughout the living room. I had to spend days constantly poising the entire floor of the building with ammonia and other chemicals. I had nightmares for more than 2 months. I no longer keep crayfish.
This is actually so cute!! BTW random thing but you could probably avoid that tape peeling issue in the future by using aluminum ductwork tape, it's basically a stiff aluminum foil with a super strong adhesive backing. It's expensive but I've never had it fail on me, even when exposed to water & UV light.
Parthenogenesis is why I need to go and get assassin snails to take care of the Malaysian trumpet snail population I have in our aquarium at home. my dad got a single female trumpet snail(didn’t know they asexually reproduced was told they’re rare funnily enough) and now there’s over twenty
The editing was amazing in this video. Definitely felt like I was watching a documentary in some parts, but narrated by some guy who’s room has been taken over by small geckos who refuse to pay rent
"Army of lesbian geckos" is not something i thought i'd hear in my lifetime but god these are so cute i wish i could have one as a pet The determination to take care of so many is impressive
Best of friends! They live together, share bedroom, adopt stray dogs together, play in a softball team together, wear matching baggy clothes, have children together. Just regular female roomies!
Hey dude, I work at a pet shop, and we use flies to feed our amphibians. If you tap the container on the ground while it is open, and before you close it, you can prevent many of the flies from escaping, and avoid crushing them under the lid when you close it. Hope this helps!
Another trick is to put the container in the fridge for a while as they slow down when they get cold making it a lot easier to handle them. This even works making it possible to handle the normal flying ones.
It's weird to think that this isn't normal for other people, here in se asia there are always gecko armies in almost all houses. Baby geckos are regularly born on my messy desk popping out cute little goofy lizards.
these are so charming and cute, i loved the video of the babies hunting, it was a real wildlife documentary moment, you should consider doing more of that because the camera work and editing is on point!
Really do like your videos. Informative, sometimes hillarious and sometimes sad but with a few plottwists so thank you for taking the time to make these vids! Congratson your evolving army!
