Crested Gecko Breeding! How to collect and incubate eggs! 

It would be so cool to take a photo of the eggs each day and do a time lapse! Thank you for the info - always good stuff.

Apparently I have been to worried about treating the eggs gently. Great video! So glad you are back on RU-vid

Love your videos! So informative!! 👏 Thank you! 😁

My girl laid her first clutch last night!! Super excited, thanks for the info!

Good video! You make great content don't hesitate to do more thank you 🙏

Nice video Brian. Good info.

Thanks Brian for the video... My first year breeding all my geckos👌

Thanks for all the info. This is our first year breeding crested geckos!

Thanks Brian, new in the hobbie, you videos are the best

I'm really glad you are back! I love your videos! About that incubation cool incubation temperature which should lead to bigger crests and larger heads. Have you noticed that in your colony specifically from parents that are lacking structure? Do the hatchlings with cooler incubation temperature develop greater structure than the parents in that case?

Thanks for the tips

I've hatched some cresties and was curious about few things that caught my attention. I once hatched two clutchmate cresties at pretty high temperature(about 28degree celcius) and they came out both as a harlequin+pretty strong dalmatian. The parents had few dalmatian spots as well, but the offsprings showed much more than the parents. After then, it became winter and I hatched 4 more cresties at low temperature(about 23C, same parents), and they showed much less dalmatian spots so far. So my question#1 is, does dalmatian trait show off more at higher hatching temperature? And question #2 is, do clutchmates have very similar traits? My first two clutchmates both came out as harlequin+dalmation, then next was both harlequins, then last was both pinstripe harlequins. All the clutchmates had similar traits except their base color, which was usually different.

Great video

I would love to hear your thoughts about the different temperament from a crested Gecko to a Gargoyle or other New Kaledonien Geckos...

Do I need a lay box if I have bioactive with dirt on bottom already? Also did you put holes in the deli cup ?

I’m diggin the shirt👍🏻

Do you have holes in the deli cup? Or do you open the lid every now and then ?

I know this was years ago, but I find your video VERY helpful. If I have my females in a bioactive enclosure, will they still use the lay box rather than anywhere else in the enclosure?

Thanks for the info 👍

Gosh this video is so great to the point not too long thank you very much I learned a lot and very helpful to know that I can put the eggs in a way smaller container that the current shoebox I am using! Do both of the hatching substrates you mentioned have the color change!?

my male and female crestie was doin the deed on 12-25-20 when should i expect egg? super new to this as i was told i had 2 females and i found 4 eggs in their all live vivarium

Do you drill holes into the deli cups or leave it as is?

Thank you

Do you put ventilation holes in the bead box?

Thanks for coming back to RU-vid man, do you have any other social media besides Facebook? Love your content hoping to buy one of your awesome geckos this year

when not incubating eggs, can i use this incubator as a beer fridge?

is there any special way to pick your pair?

Do I put holes in the incubation bead tub or the deli cups?

Do you need to put holes in the deli container or just seal it and keep the substrate moist

What size should their breeding tank be?

can u use sphagnum moss?

Hi, do you have to put holes in the deli cup when incubating or no need? Will wait for your reply thank you so much. I learn a lot of new information from your videos even if I had done my research.

They are currently out of stock of the incubator you recommended like everywhere. I found some that aren’t as good. Which would you recommend? The zoo med reptibator or the exo terra Precision Incubator Pro.

I have 1 female in her nest & I'm not sure if she's laying her eggs if she does what should I do next

what website do you use to ship cresties

How many eggs can you put in the contanier

Question, does temperature fluctuation matter ? If my goal is say 72 , but one night it's 68 then later 72 , or is a constant temp better ?

Thanks for clarifying “handling” instructions. Question: Does the egg color, calcification, etc. change color over the incubation period? The eggs started very white and still are but there seems to be a slight hue to them. Not sure if it’s a gecko baby inside or not. No mold. Should I candle them now that I know we can gently handle them?

Hi I'm just getting into breeding crested geckos . The container for the eggs do they need holes in the top

WOW! My female is laying a LOT of eggs right now and i dont have too much fancy equipment. i made a tupperware of sand and sphagnum moss for the moisture and im keeping them somewhere a little below room temp. i hope its ok!

Found out that my gecko is a female and I’m really looking forward to breeding!! I’m going to buy a male and hopefully start selling some babies! Never realized how easy breeding geckos was. Really exited to start this journey!

I've heard nothing but bad reviews about the exo terra incubator can anyone confirm long-term use?

The coolest spot in my house is probably about 73°

Would you have the same recommendations for gargs?

Subarus and reptiles 👍🏻

39°, well you can always use it for soda then if you decide not to breed anymore... Or beer

wow!!!! Did not know that it didn't matter about marking or handling gently, well don't I feel dumb for coddling my eggs lmaoo

Hey man quick question my gecko just layed a few eggs and I’m curious I’m doing this without a incubator do you need to put holes on the top of the container for air circulation or no?

I have to know if keeping them in my house on the floor (where my temperatures usually 72•-75• year round) in deli cup w/Pangea Hatch clay is okay? Or should I go ahead & purchase the Incubator??

What about coconut husk?

Hi really need some help we had male female really young at time and we did not know had eggs until we sort tank out, she be close to have other 2 soon, do really need take eggs out or can leave them get when born, we lost first 2 babies they so small, we had still born and 1 born today can't use back legs, do let go or will might have chance live very weak, but mostly want know doing anything wrong or just what happen first time eggs, we just found out that can check their caluim and her was low could this be why, it so sad never ment breed them like this just happen, on about putting in own enclosure untill she bigger, as from day one reason never taken apart, as they live happy together xx

How can you do this without an incubator? Can I put the deli cup on my air vent?

My crested gecko just layed eggs! She's never had contact with a male but i saw a cheerio sized circle in one of the eggs, upon candling. Could it possibly be fertile?

I watched this video a while ago after i moved and had a harder time hatching gecko eggs at room temperature. I kept losing eggs. I bought the incubator and substrate recommended in this video and i mixed it up just like was said, no standing water and my eggs just keep molding fast now. So im still losing eggs just a different way. Any recommendations?

Do u need to turn crested gecko eggs and add more humidity if it drys out whilst in incubator?

This is probably a stupid question but, if there are no holes in the deli cup and the babies hatch when you're not home will they suffocate?

I got a question me attitude exotics when I see the subtrate get a little light in color can I just pick up my crested gecko eggs and mist with out killing my baby’s because I want to be a breeder

What if your temps are closer to 65 room temp, too cold?

Do you drive an STI or subaru? I am a subaru master tech. But i would rather have your job. thanks for the videos!

What's the bag name?

Do they not need to breath once they’re born

Does it matter when she lays or the main importance is the birth day of my crested gecko

glad to hear that the eggs are not as delicate as I've heard.

Hey! Can you hatch eggs in the parent's terrarium?

If I want to breed crested geckos how many pairs should I start with?

Are gargoyle eggs as durable as crested gecko eggs?

Can u reuse your super hatch over long periods of time

If your using a incubator what temp should I put them on?

is a nighttime drop in temperatures okay for eggs?

Can i buy geckos from you i heard you said you ship them

My geckoes laid 2eggs And I don’t have an incubator

Question, I have heard higher temperature for hatching eggs produces males and lower temperatures produce females is there any truth to that?

Do l need to worry about how often my lone female crested lays eggs? She lays all summer, 3or4 at a time and every 3or4 weeks. I worry 🙄

Yeah altitude exotics aka Brian I got a question I got this young male Creasted gecko and female that are about to be 1 years one this June because I got both of them on my birthday which is the 11th but my male crusty every since we found out their gender my boy Tony tried to mate with my female twice and every since he almost got a latch on her his never eat crickets 🦗 like how he use two and his very skinny and I think his stressing for not getting any but I don’t can you help me out I would really appreciate it because every time tried to ask tikisGeckos a question of Crested Geckos they never answer but you so thank you if it wasn’t for I wouldn’t learn how to breed so I can’t wait to!!😆😆👍🏻👍🏻

I am thinking to get a crested gecko 🦎

you talk quickly, missed the name of the substrate you recommended. can't blow the video up to see it either

that incubator is junk ive had temp spikes with mine very disappionting
