Crested Geckos Vs. Gargoyle Geckos (Similarities & Differences) 

I've been thinking of brining a gargoyle gecko into my life, thanks for the info!

Sad to know that cresties are dwindling in the wild. Such beautiful creatures.🦎

Also it annoys me when I hear "they don't drink from water bowls" - I've seen 2 of my 3 Crested using a water bowl + my gargoyle using a water bowl. And even if they don't use it, it helps keep humidity from falling too low. I must in evening and during the day the water bowl keeps them around 50% humidity

You’re incredibly knowledgeable about everything you talk about. I’m a recent subscriber with years of reptile and amphibian husbandry experience and it is so refreshing to see a beautiful soul such as yourself so passionate about all of these different species. Keep doing what you’re doing and you definitely have my support!!

Thank you for making this video. I found it to be very informative. I definitely learned some things about both species that I didn’t know!

I’ve been a long time subscriber and never wanted to own any reptiles, but for some reason, I have been really wanting a crestie or a gargoyle gecko recently. Not sure why:) but atleast I can binge your videos while I’m deciding :)

Thank you so much for this video! It has helped a lot!

Great video! Very informative. Thank you.

Aww your new intro is so cute🧡

If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have known about the decrease of wild population of cresties ! Love this channel, so underrated but us true fans we appreciate you a lot

Ya I give up, they’re both perfect, I’m sure I have room in my life for both 😂🥰

Super helpful videos as I kind of mix these up a lot

Great video! And I love the new intro! 😊

I have 3 Crested + 1 Gargoyle. Major difference I notice; Gargoyle nails scratch me sometimes, Crested ones don't. And my Crested Geckos are far more social. They go on/near their doors and WANT to come out, like they see me and climb on me and seem to enjoy being out. My Gargoyle moves around her tank less, and doesn't ever seem to WANT out. She's tame and all when she is out(hasn't tried to bite or anything) but she's more jumpy and seems to be indifferent to coming out, like tolerates it but doesn't seem to actually care if she comes out or not. My Crested Geckos though beg to come out, they look at me or come over once they see me so Crested Geckos are a little better if you want a pet to hold.

Thank you for mentioning conservation status! 🙌🏼

One of my crestie bite me before it was the funniest thing

Love the new intro 🔥

As soon as I'm on my break from work I will watch this lol.

To be honest I really want to get a Gargoyle Gecko but they're just a little too expensive for me right now, I guess they just seem a little more unique and exciting that cresties, though in fairness I have't had either.

Your gargoyle gecko is so beautiful! I have a Crestie but no gargoyle yet. I would love to have both!

Now that was very interesting great information I wish I had more time on my hands I'd love to try doing crested gecko but right only have time for my bearded dragon and they are extremely easy to take care of and buddy is very healthy but when I do I will I always love having reptilians but great video kiddo thanks

Every time i see a Crested Gecko they always look big/plum.. but mine (6 months old) looks so slender. Is it because he's still young and will he fill out? He's looked after and fed really well.

Great video!! Thinking about getting gargoyle geckos I have 2 enclosures all ready now just have to find the 2 for me:)

Great video very informative I do have a question hopefully it’s not to odd on one video that I saw recently it says that the crested geckos have a tendency to poop on you when your handle, is there some truth to that in your experience? Do gargoyles do the same thing? Appreciate your input thanks again

this came in my recommended and was just perfect for me 🥰 they’re both so cute though 😭

Good comparison 😊

Is that a real plant growing across the bar in the background? Looks great, I'd like to get one.

Do you have a video for tips to keep your reptiles a little bit more warmer during winter.?

Thank you!!

Haven’t seen you in a while ❤️😘😊

My crested gecko won’t eat insects, how do I change that?

My crestie has always been super defensive and always bites me no matter what I do, he's even drawn blood twice. I've tried many ways to help him destress while being handled but I'm thinking I need to start accepting him the way he is and give him less stress by only being handled when the need arises.

Where is the link for a picky eater crested gecko

I love my gargoyle gecko so much ❤️

Now your talking my talk..😁😁❤💯...& maybe where u are..Gargs are anywhere from 80-100..Baby gargs in my area start at 160..🙄🙄..But love the vid as always..Glad to see you shining on another day and always waiting to see what you pull out next..❤💯

I just got my baby gargoyle gecko and so far it’s bit me twice but that was my fault the first time didn’t hurt at all the second time hurt a little but now he’s very calm He’s a baby and he doesn’t mind me handling him he seemed more drawn to me after I held him and fed him my self if anyone is wondering

These geckos ABSOLUTELY drink from dishes as well. They should always be offered water in a shallow dish. That is some serious misinformation.

I have both, got my crestie first though and I have to say she will always be my favourite aha

i have a gargoyle gecko and i really want a crestie!!

bruh this video was made on my birthday

Yay, the pothos looks healthier 👍👍👍👍👍

Such beauties

Really strange ive heard the gargoyles generally cost less not to mention that they are less likely to eat from bug feeders

Leo’s are the best 🤪😆😆🖤

Actually The one thing that I think is incorrect in here is that gargoyles require more bugs , it’s true that they’re more carnivorous but they actually tend to really dislike bugs and many people have a hard time getting them to eat bugs, they do greatly on just the powdered diets and don’t really need more bugs

So the real question we need answered is if you prefer cresties or gargoyles 👀

The most important difference is that crested geckos are cuter

Says gargoyle geckos eat more insects *looks at my gecko* I could shove a cricket up to her face and she be like naa . I think it depends on the gecko.

I noticed you say in your video that they won't drink out of water dishes. This is not true. I have 3 geckos. 2 crested and one gargoyle. I do spray to keep up the humidity and they do lick the water droplets but I also provide a water dish and have witnessed all of them drinking from their dishes. It's important to provide both.Please be careful when making your videos. Someone new to the hobby might come across your videos looking for information so you want to make sure that you are up to date with your facts.

Simpler video: Cresties have a crest and gargoyles don’t.

Nice face

I thought they're going to fight. #Clickbait
