Can you KEEP leopard GECKOS at ROOM temperature? | (2021) Welcome BACK gecko FANS! In this video, we WILL discuss whether you CAN or CANNOT keep leopard geckos AT room TEMPERATURE, and what those MAXIMUM or Minimum REQUIREMENTS might be. We will discuss how we KEEP an AMBIENT room TEMPERATURE set up so that we DO NOT need ANY additional HEATING or COOLING source OUTSIDE of the ONE we use to HEAT the ENTIRE room to an ACCEPTABLE temperature. Please feel FREE to leave a comment or ASK any questions you FEEL that I did NOT cover. Also please RECOMMEND topics for FUTURE videos so that WE can satisfy all your GEEKY gecko reptile NEEDS! Buckle up, we'll SEE you inside the VIDEO, and until next time, remember, be smart, be safe, and above all, Have a Geeky Gecko Great Day!! =D =D We provide a PLATFORM for YOU to LEARN about REPTILES!

You mentioned the fans for temperature distribution. Air oscillation will only achieve consistency to avoid hotspots and cool spots. To get consistent temperature in the room another good idea is PID controllers for heat sources as opposed to on/off controllers. And you can get high quality temperature proves for them. You can also get PID controllers for your fans that way you can have fans go off at a rate that results in using the minimum amount of energy for consistent temperatures. This is especially important when scaling as it will reduce electrical costs a little. Another good reason for fans of course is avoiding humid spots and dry spots and of course helping to dissipate gases being released from the tubs (e.g. methane, CO2) and replenish the air around them. Other things to consider when scaling up are air quality control (e.g. an inline fan with a carbon scrubber and some filters such as dust filters, pleated filters, and HEPA filters, and a UVC light chamber). And another thing I see a lot of breeders missing is floor, wall, and ceiling materials. PVC-U cladding is quite affordable, easy to clean, and antimicrobial. And epoxy flooring is another good option. Hygiene becomes more important as you scale as the potential losses if something spread could be catastrophic to ones collection. And since in breeding conditions we are dealing with specimens in such close quarters and small enclosures under breeding standards issues can spread fast. I feel like doing a series covering these would be a good idea for those wanting to scale who lack knowledge of industrial design. And then there's quarantine enclosures. A large cabinet with negative pressurisation is a good option here with the output air being filtered to avoid the spread of potential pathogens. I've seen a lot of breeders invest a lot of money in animals while avoiding quarantine rooms or cabinets only to lose their entire collections or a substantial portion of them. Impulsiveness is a business and hobby killer at scale, not to mention reputation. Standards need to be set and advocated in the community for sure.

Hi I have been watching your videos for a while love all the info you give What is the heater you use to keep the room warm

great info man exactly the info i was looking for...reddit failed to truly answer

This was crucial information for my guys. Thank you so much.

Great video always wanted to learn more about ambient room temp keeping reptiles

I love this thank u so much I just gotten my first one and she s amazing just worry about her getting to cold we have all around changing sumer winter fall spring here and the weather can drop down below zreo degrees

Hello, loving your channel, was wondering what your humid hides are like please and if you have a link to the feeding bowls.. thank you so much

My adult is used to ambient room temp and a small basking light. I'm getting a heat pad with thermostat soon for fall/winter months coming. I enjoyed the video. Thanks

This is really useful, a friend in Indonesia also keeps his Leos at room temp

So I have a heating pad set to 95 degrees and justa shade dweller UVB light ( not much added heat from that ) The heat on that side of the tank where his warm hide is with the heat pad is alwasy around 73 degrees. He also does not eat much but looks healthy. It was suggested that it may be due to the low tank temp. I ordered a ceramic heat emitter to go with the UVB to help push the tanks ambient temp to the 80s. Does this all make sense?

Watching from the Philippines!

So your leos domt have a cool and warm side? Just all one temperature?

I just got my Leopard Gecko and got a uvb bulb 💡,heat mat, & Reptisoil with some accessories which totaled $200 which I wasn't expecting, or I would've gotten the long uvb fixture but it was like $69 and I didn't have enough so my Temperature is like °80 right now with the light and heat mat on the left side. He stays on the right side during the day for some reason inside a log ? But came out last night..

That's actually quite interesting about the school. I am thinking now that the geckos get used to a temperature and behave differently in other temps. So I actually have not bought heating for my PVC vivariums ( it's like $700), so they sit at room temp ( I'm in southeast Texas and cold feels good so they're around 70-72), and I have not had any problems whatsoever with my geckos. All four are eating and pooping perfectly fine with no issues. I have not found a single regurgitation, so I think it depends on what the gecko is used to. What do you think?

Yeah I got my gecko today , day time it’s 92 but night it’s 83 dropping I’m scared is he going to be ok?

I live in a hot carribean island im breeding right know my problem is my diy incubator have fluctuations of temp beacuse the weather here i tried to maintain a a temp of 82 but in the day it get up in to 88-89 the termostat work fine but dont cool to maintain in 82 any ideas that you can give me if this can be bad eggs cause rigth know at this post they are fertile

My question is, how can you check to see what your room temperature is? As well what should the exact temperatures that your room temperature should be for a master bedroom with no master bathroom?

In my situation my place gets cold in the gecko room during winter. I use a radiator heater along with the heat tape and pads. When its not cold its cheaper for me to use just hear tape and pads cause my room can get hot if not winter. 11 tanks and 2 racks i have and is less than 1500 watts used but during winter i have to use the big heater atleast on 900 watts along with the other. However. I do wish i could during winter atleast could use mainly just a heater and not the heat tape etc

In PH. I think we need a cooling pad rather than a heating pad. Our room temp here usually rises to 35 Celsius.

What about night time temperature i have 1 ceramic bulb in the corner keeping 1 hide and srea around 75 then the middle is 70 and going more to the other side it is 65-70

I maintain 80° in my room with the small electric box heater and a AC unit ,I have had no problems with regurgitation at all. I'm doing a project to raise female babies with their parents semi natural

Hi! My leopard gecko I just brought home about a month ago is SUPER aggressive and I don't know what to do. He has lunged at me and boyfriend multiple times and almost bite me another time. What do you recommend I do? In the future, I want to be able to hold him.

Can it survive a night without heat? My home gets to around 60° to 75° degrees in the night i really dont want it to yk, but pls tell me, im getting a heat pad tomorrow

So question. Say you wanted to incubate eggs at 91. Would it be okay to just sit them in the room?

Hello I have a setup but don’t know what type of heat to use they are in a sterlite 3 tier is there a way I could show you so you can give me some information

Just got a ball python do you feed them vitamins with there meals

My room temperature is 30-32°c . Do i still need heater for my leopard gecko 🥲 . Hope you can respond. Much appreciated

My room is always about 72 on the thermostat set to cold my leopard gecko hasn’t had a lamp for 2-3 years but he does have a heating pad and he doesn’t have any digestive problems or health problems

Man! I wish I watched your video before I bought my tokay gecko. I’m in California so tokay geckos aren’t exactly a common lizard here. I bought one today and the tallest enclosure they had which was a 12x12x20. I got the following -Zoo med 40w nano dome lamp fixture (3.5 inch dome) -40w Zoo med nano basking spot lamp (it says daylight, heat, and basking on the front of it) The store employee told me that enclosure would be big enough. And he also told me to set the heat lamp on top of the wire mesh of the enclosure. I did that and I smell something funny. Not sure if the ceramic has to burn off or what. It’s odd that I have to put the lamp on top of the mesh. Does this sound right? It’s a juvenile is what they told me. Male. I thought I could just have it in my house. I keep my house at 67-70 degrees F. I bought a heat lamp for the gecko but I know I’m only supposed to have that on for 8 hours. What do you recommend I do for the other time so that he isn’t too cold? What should I do until I buy a deep heat projector or ceramic heat lamp. What wattage do you recommend? 12x12x20

Do you have any shirts for a 7 and 8 year old?? Size 7 or medium kids? I would buy 1 adult xl and 2 kids..Thanks man

and what if high temps (during the day) are in the 84-85 range and there's never been any regurgitation by ANY of the geckos? we live in the desert....

How old are your females before you retire them from breeding

Father 100 females, 😲 omg roughly how many leopard gecko's do you have.

This will not work for the majority of keepers. Even in your situation, you’re depriving the animals of their basic requirements to function. Leopard geckos are super adaptable and hardy, but why put saving money above meeting their daily requirements? I’d love a video of you showing live readings of the temperatures in your racks. So much variables in this setup and it directly puts the animals at risk. Even you feeding the day before a school event is irresponsible. The confidence in your ignorance is astounding. If you feel so confident in your ways, I’d love to invite you to a live to cover this topic, lemon frost, and your ideals when it comes to wholesaling animals. That way, you can see what other reputable breeders and hobbyists alike think of your “programs”. The animals deserve better.
