Welcome back everyone!
In todays video I show you all my new "medium sized" rack system for crested geckos! I'll show you how to put it together as well as show some things I did to make it work for my needs. I like these a lot better than my old tub style tank for my medium geckos and I think you will too! If you breed crested geckos or are raising up some small ones, this video is for you!
I hope you enjoy!
If you're new, I suggest you check out some of my other videos/playlists and shorts that I have on my channel. If you like these animals, then don't forget to like and subscribe and share with friends! Also don't forget to hit that notification bell so you'll be notified every single time I post! It truly helps the channel a ton and I love hearing from you so make sure you leave a comment or ask any questions you may have!

@tmreptile 4 месяца назад

It’s extremely expensive and time consuming to breed. Especially if anything goes wrong and you have to go to the vet. I love it completely but it’s definitely not for everyone. Spraying and feeding and cleaning tanks for so. Many. HOURS per week is crazy lol. Not trying to discourage you, just wanted you to think about the downsides as well lol

I think these ones specifically work well because it’s only for when they’re growing but I understand where you’re coming from!

@dtw1622 6 месяцев назад

As a breeder I understand the need to racks/tubs. But as a owner I believe its our job to recreate the animals natural environment as much as possible. I’m glad that the community is shifting toward this standard of care. And this is coming from someone who kept snakes in tubs for 12 years.

Excellent video. I really like your advice on the seam corner and the screening on the back for bugs. A few questions. What is the quart size? And what is the largest gram size baby you would keep in these. Oh, and who makes these?

@tmreptile 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much!!! I don’t know the exact qt’s honestly. I linked the product in my pinned comment if you’d like to look at them! I would probably move them out around 17-20g ish

@tmreptile 5 месяцев назад

I’d definitely recommend adding a 2”x10” underneath to distribute some of the weight. If you don’t use velcro or tape they won’t stay together on top of each other. They seem to work well so far though

@tmreptile 4 месяца назад

I haven’t used heat tape before but I think 80 degrees would probably be fine. I don’t think that’s hot enough to melt it. I think grow out tanks for baby leopard geckos would be a great idea!

How you close the hole in the Front where to open the enclosure

@tmreptile 6 месяцев назад

I just leave all the vents. They may look big on camera, but they’re small holes. I don’t put babies in these tanks yet. I only use them for medium sized so nothing gets out. If you’re looking to stop bugs from getting out, you can use screen and hot glue it or something like that

@bradmouland5661 13 дней назад

Hey! So after a few months how do you find the cleaning? Looks like it’s hard to take it apart to sanitize it. Thanks! I only ask as I am potentially interested ordering!

@tmreptile 13 дней назад

I stay up on it so it doesn’t get bad! The front and back cracks are the biggest issue but I’m still able to clean it. Just make sure the little flap that connects the plastic together is on the top of each one if you do get them!

@crestedcresties 6 месяцев назад

how do you keep these humidified? and what about lighting?

@tmreptile 6 месяцев назад

I mist them 2x a day. As far as lighting I have a few reptiles that have heat/lights so that lighting along with the windows give them a day/night cycle

@venxm243 3 месяца назад

Cresties specifically don’t really need specific lighting. And heat lights/mats aren’t recommended either since they can succumb to heat stroke if temps get too high. Not to mention they stick to walls/tops/sides. So heat lights could burn their feet. Just as the og creator said. Misting twice a day is enough. Plus. Think about quarantine tanks with reptiles on paper towels. It’s the same premise.

I wouldn’t because the holes are iffy. I think they would be fine but I like the 6qt totes because it holds humidity better as well. Babies definitely need that

@greatdaneloverco18 5 месяцев назад

What size would you start in these and then at what size move them out at? I’m brand new to cresties and I love this setup! For the commenters on lights I think it would be cool to run strip lighting along the backs if you want to illuminate it at all just a thought I had.

@tmreptile 5 месяцев назад

@@greatdaneloverco18 I would say 8ish grams to about 20 grams or so. Tailless geckos probably a few grams less since they weigh less with their tails. That’s just a rough guideline that I do personally

Nope I only keep juveniles in them. And that’s not uncommon. Sometimes instead of feeding bugs I blend some up into their food.
