Getting A Reptile? Watch This BEFORE You Do! 

I am definitely on Team Gargoyle Gecko. My first Garg is just a delight and is a natural educational animal.

Just wanted to thank you for your expertise. I just got a Chinese cave gecko after a year of plotting and planning. This video helps validate that I did the right research and my obsession with finding solutions was useful.

Been keeping leopard geckos for over 10 years now, found your account roughly a year ago. You’ve helped a lot with information regarding what new tech is actually good for them and what is questionable. Also got me into Arcadia supplements and UVB for them which has increased their activity/colors a noticeable amount. Thanks :)

I think this was a great informal video! I initially realized I wanted a leo in May of last year. I started to do basic research but it took until October to get the enclosure. I then spent the next several months researching each part literally from the ground up. The substrate, drainage layer yes or no, the hides, the way to decorate, the height for the heating and lighting, and then watching the humidity and temperature readings. On April 2nd of this year, I got my baby leo. I don't know if anyone is reading this but Rebecca explained this very well. Look at each "chapter" of areas to research and treat each object like it's own page. It is a fun and long process but it is so worth it to make it easier on you and your animal. The more research you do ahead, hopefully the less mistakes and or panic created when you finally bring the animal home.

Awesome!! Such an informative video~ Thank you for sharing this~🤗

My birthday is in exactly 2 weeks! I've been wanting a leopard gecko for over a year (on the dot) and my mom finally let me start buying stuff for the gecko! Ur channel has really helped me, and I've been intensely researching for over a year. Thank you so much 💕

I went through a whole year of convincing my parents and doing research, and in the end I have Echo! I’m so glad I got him, his personality is truly amazing, he loves everyone and is very trusting. Best gecko I could ever ask for! He’s turning 3 in January!

Awesome video and great information!

editing quality was really great on this video! love the graphics etc. as well (and the content ofc)

Excellent info, Thank you!! It's frustrating when everything you watch and read tells you, "but please do your research." I thought that's what I was doing! This is a great list to be able to flesh out the full picture. 👌👌👌

I love my two leopard geckos and their happy! great job with the video!

Before i got my leopard gecko i binge watched all this channels content. And it helped me soo much on caring for my friend the right way. i was able to tame him in like 3 to 4 months and he freely likes to walk onto my hand. i love him so much and am SOOO thankful for this channel cause it helped me so much to care the right way for him. So thanks again for all your videos it made it so much easier to learn.

Excellent video 👍❤🦎😁

Great video! 😁

LEOPARD GECKO ALL THE WAY! Who doesn’t want a pet that looks like the unholy offspring of a pickle and a banana?

Fiesty. Perfect description from what I've seen of Tokays! I've got a couple Leopard Geckos myself and they are pretty interesting between their general skiddish nature, curiosity, overall cuteness, but contrastingly their feeding response. I haven't seen too many other examples of leos with a strong feeding response but mine.. in particular 1 of the 2.. is almost scary with how precise and powerful his strikes are! I won't go into too graphic of detail but the speed of his strikes can leave a mess of crickets..

I have been watching ur videos for the longest times. Around 8 years off and on. I have wanted a leopard geckos since I was 12 😅 lol and I am now 24 and still have not had the pleasure of owning one. I am hoping that one day very soon I will have the opportunity to have one of my own. Love your videos and thank you for all the information. you are doing an incredible job. ❤

I've been doing what you suggested for a year and narrowed it down to pink tongued skink,leo gecko,and Gargoyle Gecko...I'm really leaning towards the Gargoyle Gecko .

Them: "what size tank does a leopard gecko need?" Me with a leo in a 120 gal: "See that? See mine? Yeah he deserves bigger"

Thank you so much for the video!! I'll keep this advice in mind when I obtain or keep researching information on Chameleon Geckos in the soon future. As I am very interested in those tiny cute Geckos.

HI! Happy to be early!

My son really wants a reptile. Thanks for this! So much to consider...

great Video, my first reptile was a leopard gecko. Later i had gotten a crested gecko i had to do my research to give both of them the best life they could have.

that intro is so cute!!!

I love my leopard gecko! 🥰 She is so happy haha, she makes me happy ❤️

leopard geckos are one of my fav reptiles.

Based on my work schedule I decided on bearded dragon. Down the road in the future when my schedule is better to allow me to have a gecko I will have one.

yes! take your time! this way you can make sure you have the details down packed for their food, enclosure decor, and any deaths from feeder insects while settling in would of passed. this way you can even build a relationship with the breeder you're getting the animal from and learn more about the individual's preferences.. and give you time to change your mind if you see the breeder isn't as good as you thought. don't rush something that will be your responsibility for YEARS to come

Thanks for all of your videos, I’ve recently got a baby Leo called Magnus after convincing my parents

I got a Leo about 4 days ago. I’m in love

I went through years of research before I even decided on a lizard, let alone a bearded dragon. Researching everything from "What do they eat?" and "How big do they get?" to "Do I need heat and humidity both or just one or the other?" and "How do I know if they are gravid?" and "Are they easy to tame?"

Hey! Been wanting a Leo for awhile and I’m getting one soon! I will be using a deep heat projector (Arcadia DHP as well as the shade dweller 7%) I was wondering how long, or when should I have the deep heat projector on for? Is it an all day and night thing, or what? Thanks !

would you reccomend eco earth?

-20-40 gal tank (front opening preferred as geckos don't liked being picked up from above cause they'll think you are a bird) -Calcium with d3 powder - substrate depending on what your comfortable with (sand is not a option) -food:meal worms,hornedworms,crickets, and mayfly. -at least 4 hides :hot,cold,humid, hid hide to use the bathroom (my leopard gecko tends to poop in one spot of her enclosure and no were else) - water bowls and food bowls (at lest 2 water bowls (one for drinking and one for skin shedding.) -one uvb and one uva lamp (some bulbs carry both in one) -at least 5m-1hr of interaction and recreational time for your animal (animals have feelings too) For people wondering about substrate I use repti carpet and it works well I have not luckily have any problems going for a year now. I will soon make a RU-vid channel on her Also leopards can be co habbed the only thing is you should make sure they have been together before or try to bond them (remeber leapord geckos are from the middle east and usually live in colony) I would also like to add leopard geckos don't live in just desert environments but they do live in arid humid environments too and a waterfall or mini misting system would be goo for the as they shed their skin alot or drink from water droplets on your glass

I might get a leo in October

Any tips on my viv misting up? Thank you

I just brought my first leo home yesterday after researching a TON. It really helped me to prepare and feel more confident that I can keep her happy and healthy. She is a retired ex-breeding female, so I do know she’s laid eggs before and I’m a bit nervous about the next egg-laying season, so I’m really considering getting pet insurance for her, just in case. £12/month really doesn’t seem too bad?

I have a leo and she isn't eating! I got her about 3 weeks ago from a rehome. She only had a heat mat and calcium+d3. She was only fed mealworms. One of her eyes had a bunch of pus like gunk. I am working on getting her to start eating. She is about 1 year old and is very small. If anyone had advice PLEASE help me.

what happend to gizmo?

I have a gecko that I originally got from a pet store (at the time, my parents didn't let me get one from a breeder) and my grandparents had to take care of the gecko for a while. However, because they didn't do what was needed for the gecko, he now has a few less toes and I think is developing MBD in his jaw. Anything I can do about this? I know UVB will help, but I am not in a position to get anything expensive.

i am a beginner - should i use all my supplements at the same time. e.g. should i get a little tub an mix a bit of each then coat the locust in that?

I think in at least American English, maybe VITAMINS are a bit more essential sounding. I totally agree!! Everyone with leos should be giving their geckos what they NEED, not just worms.

I would go for the gargoyle because I know you have rodents and it Would be morally hard to feed it like pinkies or something

So I was watching 15 things to expect with a baby leopard gecko when would be a good time to start handling it the reason why I'm commenting on this video is so you can actually see this

First

Snke🐍

Second reptile was a leopard gecko, third was a wild caught peach throated monitor, dont be like me dont be stupid
