A Beginner's Guide To Setting Up A Leopard Gecko Tank 

just got a leo a week and a half ago, watched your vids for a month beforehand! (plus other research as well lol) she’s doing really well, and she’s already the friendliest, happiest little thing :) thank you for coming on here and educating, you’ve done a really great job!

Thanks for being the reason I’m an educated leopard gecko owner. Much love from me and my baby girl Lemon 💕

I have had my girls Maya and Lilith for about 3 years now. Yesterday I spotted Maya leaving her humid hide looking ghostly white and then caught her taking her shed off for the first time. It was so funny watching her yank off her “socks.” Great content as always!

I love how you're just subtly setting up the enclosure for your new gecko

I love that there is a channel where I can come know that I am getting good information! My parents wouldn’t let me get my first leopard gecko unless I did tons of research, and your channel was one of my main sources of info! I’ve been watching for years now, and I am just so thankful that you are here educating people on proper pet care! Keep up the great work!

Loved the video! Even after owning a Leo for a year now I still love to brush up on the basics thanks to how interesting your videos are

literally have no plans to own a leopard gecko (due to being currently occupied with a very needy bearded dragon 🙄) but just having this sort of information in the back of my mind and appreciating how much effort and care goes into these videos makes my heart super happy!!

I have had a Leo for 3 weeks and he is getting happier because I watch these videos thank you he is so cute .

Love this and all your other videos! I recently got a leopard gecko a few months ago and I found your videos some of the most helpful for research! Keep on keeping on your helping tons of current and future gecko owners. :)

I have a crested gecko and I love him (or her) so much. When i decided to get a reptile your channel helped so much. And yesterday, Ember (my crestie) came out of the terrarium on his own!. With some food for motivation. Im so happy watching him grow up!

Just want to give a huge THANK YOU! You have helped me so much with you’re videos!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Ive had my baby boy Sesame for about 5 months now, and this was SO helpful to know I've been doing things correctly for my little seed! Next step is to give him a nice decor update and a deep heat projector!

Thank you for keeping this video interesting, informative, and engaging!!

another amazing and helpful video! the leopard gecko community is so lucky to have you!!

I am watching as many of your videos as I can and they are all so helpful. Thank you so much from me and Milo!

Fab video. Love seeing you do these as they change everytime. The reptile community needs to stay updated with new technology and information and your always doing that unlike most

I’m getting a leopard gecko soon, and it wouldn’t be happening if it weren’t for you! I love your channel so much! ❤️❤️❤️

i have had my leopard gecko for a little over a year, and he’s gotten pretty big for his tank, so i’m upgrading him to a 20-36 gallon tank. i’m just watching this video to refresh my memory in order for me to give him the best possible living space as possible! your videos helped me research and convince my parents to let me get him! these videos are really educational and help me learn something that i may had not known before. thank you for everything!

For people of all ages!! Love it!!

Thank you so much for making information clear and readily available! I love your videos and your geckos! I always look forward to them :) Thank you!!!

I love Arcadia's heat lamps! As soon as I switched from those zoo med bulbs my leo was much more active and seemed to be more energized from the deep heat

I’ve been researching for months trying to be as prepared as possible before I get my Leo, and your videos are BY FAR the best watch and helpful I’ve come across. And girl I’ve done some scrolling 😂🤣💚 I think I’m finally ready now

Always love your videos! Educational and they keep you entertained as well!❤️

Great, informative video on the basics. Definitely going to be helpful for new owners. Always appreciate your content!

10/10 vid, would watch again. Very useful since there are so many conflicting reports on how to set one up

Great video! Videos like these are what helped me set up and get my first Leopard Gecko. Thank you so much!

Watched this when you first uploaded but couldn’t comment. Very informative as always for beginners! I link others to your videos when they ask questions. Have a great evening :) xx

I’m buying my own house at the end of the month and I’m so excited to venture into reptiles after years of excited research by adopting a little leopard gecko. I’m so excited! There’s a lovely reptile rescue near my home and its going to be so fun!

Excited as always to watch your videos! They’ve really helped in understanding how best to take care of my little Leo 😊

Hi I just subscribed because I just got a baby leopard gecko yesterday and I’ve never owned one before. This channel really helps me learn how to take care of it.

Thank you for your channel, I'm planning on getting a gecko once my hausing situation is figured out! Thanks to your videos I found complete passion for these cute little creatures. I want to give mine the best living conditions possible, so I watch nearly each of your tips vids. PS. Personally I wouldn't mind if had some videos with just your geckos exploring etc, they are so adoreable!

Ive had Snicket for a year and it was really helpful to have your videos as a guide when i was first getting into it.

Thank for teaching me how to care for my leos!

This is an awesome beginners guide. Always love your videos

Love all of your videos. I've learnt so much over the years! Thanks so much 😁

I love your videos so so much!!!! Keep up the great work, when I got my leo 7 months ago, your videos really helped!

im going to get a leopard gecko soon and I have been binging your videos. thank you so much for the tips

Amazing video, very informative for new gecko owners. Keep it up!

I’ve been watching this channel for a long time and I want to say thank for helping me because my leopard gecko stoped eating and because of your channel she started to eat again

Very informative and helpful for people just starting out or those who didn't realize they weren't providing enough! Keep up the wonderful work!

Your videos have helped me so much with my first Leo! 🥰

I'd just like to thank you so much. Without you I wouldn't have my gecko named after gizmo (movie and yours) I'm so thankful for everything you taught me and to this day I'm learning from you thank you so much again and stay safe happy and keep up the good work🦎❤❤❤

Note: LONG POST AHEAD… Hi Emily. I found your channel after my husband & I agreed to petsit our son & DIL’s Leopard Gecko for 10 days. I’ve been digging in to your posts to become more educated. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I never thought I would say I’ve grown attached to a lizard. 😏 Buddy is almost 2 y.o & resides in a 10 gallon, glass tank with a heated pad underneath (outside). Inside is tan, reptile carpet, a half log cave, a large, shallow water dish & a small, round, food dish. Also one, round thermometer attached to the inside, back of the tank (I understand this is not the ideal). No other hides. I had some small pieces of driftwood from our travels to the SW Gulf Coast of Florida & decided to treat them (bleach/water soak, rinse, bake) & put them in the tank. I sanded off any rough edges, but left the small grooves in the wood so he could use it to climb if he chose to. I placed the larger piece (about a foot long & 4” at the widest point towards the middle of it) at an angle from the carpet to the top of the half log. The bottom is secured by the water dish & the inner, end edge is secured by the food dish. He immediately started hanging out underneath that piece at night. He did shed some pieces during the first night of that change/addition, but he did shed in the time before I added that. I fashioned the other piece of driftwood into a tree of sorts with cascading, artificial, plant sprigs coming out the end & wedged it at an angle in between the front, corner edge of the glass & half log. I found Buddy using it as a head rest today as he napped. 😅 What I’m concerned about is if he now has enough floor space with the larger, driftwood addition. When I checked this morning, he had pooped along the middle edge of the water dish. The dish was initially horizontal or more angled & towards the front of the tank. So, maybe he was used to that back, right spot of the tank to do his business? Now I have the water dish running the length of the tank (it spans the entire length from front to back) & maybe in it’s upsetting the apple cart? I can’t make a lot more changes because he’s not my pet. Please help the grandma of an LG out! 😂😍 Thoughts? Thanks!

Your videos motivated me to buy a leopard gecko and i watched a lot of your videos for all my leopard gecko needs👍👍

I just subscribed! I’m really enjoying your channel, thanks for the great content! :)
