Tips & Tricks To Improve Your Reptile Setups | REACTING TO YOUR SETUPS 

I've had a lot of people ask in the comment section about how they can submit their tank pics, as I mentioned in the video - I'm not looking for entries atm as I have lots left over from August, however when I do ask for entries I do it in a post on Instagram @leopardgeckoyoutube 😊

I took in a leopard gecko who had a severe impaction with crushed walnut substrate and ended up passing away at the vet's office. I can't stress enough how horrible crushed walnut is for leopard geckos!

Ah these are some of my favorite videos! I have a little story to tell: You probably don't remember, but for the longest time I was planning on taking in the school's leopard gecko and making his care acceptable. Sadly, because of covid that did not happen. B U T, the crested gecko at school did get taken home, and when the girl couldn't take care of him anymore he was given to me. When he came to me he was so hot and dried out he almost died. Every night for about 3 weeks I would make him a water bath and soak him for 20 minutes every 3 hours. I had to sit with him every night to make sure he ate his food. He had nothing but 1 plant in a 10 gallon tank. Now, he's very active and plump and I've never seen him healthier! I just bought a new tank that is around 25 gallons of space, over double the size of his current home. I'm planning on making it bioactive and using a deep heat Projector! As we speak the sticks and bark I'm using are disinfecting. Thank you SO much rebecca, without you and your wonderful videos this little guy would probably be dead. I hope one day I can save the school leopard gecko too! If you read to the end, thank you. You're a real trooper. ♡

Wow! I did not expect mine to be on here! Ya Holland is my name lol. Yes! I do supplement 100% calcium and D3 🥰

In quarantine these videos are the only thing keeping me sane. This and my own leopard gecko.

My gecko always thinks my hand is food.. it is tough handling him lol.

oh my gosh thank you so much that meant the world to me:)

*me being a geography nerd...* “The name is holland, not the country” ~leo gecko talk... me:... “WHAT THATS NOT A COUNTRY!!!!!!”

Love your videos

Nice tips getting a crestie and a leo soon

Hi Rebecca great video 😄

Leopard gecko’s are the best they are my favorite gecko 🦎

I don't want a bioactive tank yet but I like the way earthmix arid looks. Can I still use it in a non bioactive tank for a leo?

hey i love you and your pets and your videos thankyou also how many times a year do you clean the tank pleaseeee answer me because I'm getting a leopard gecko soon also how cold dose the cold hide have to be in f thank you and how cold the shedding hide in f has to be in the middle also can I put my leopard gecko and its wooden tank in front of a window obviously the back to it also my window is the back of the house

Will you be doing more of these in the future I really want to know if my set up is good

I have an adult gecko in a 20 gallon tank, but we are making a bigger one, my gecko doesn’t have anything to climb on, so in the new tank we are making her a rock structure to climb on, we carved insulation into rock shapes, then covered it in grout to make it look like rocks. We also are going to put reptile safe sealant on it to keep the grout from coming off.

One thing I have to stress for enrichment and hides is that fake plants are at the dollar tree! Vines, flowers, rocks, and more are all stuff you can buy in bulk and would make every reptiles happy!

I'm saving up all of my birthday and Christmas money and doing extra chores to earn money to improve my tank massively. I have a 10 gal with repticarpet, and I'm saving up for a 40 gallon with a DHP, bioactive with plants and isopods, and lots of hides and slate. Thanks for teaching me the true needs (not a thrive starter kit like I have now) of a leopard gecko. Awesome, my 6.5 month leopard gecko and I thank you. I am also hoping to get my second leo next year. Also one question, do you need a thermostat with a DHP?

Best RU-vid channel

Is it a good idea to put a little area of slate in my vivarium for feeding, so that it cant accidentally eat the substrate if it misses the insect? I know this isnt likely anyway and im gonna be using earthmix arid but it still kinda worries me lol

I have 2 geckos named mango and goby. Goby doesn’t like being held but mago loves it I want to redo some of its cage do u recommend any specific stuff I should put in it besides the hide and water bowl

Glad you are settling in!

hey!! :) I was gonna ask if a heat mat is completely fine in a wooden vivarium, I just bought a heat mat and the back says that it isn't suitable for wooden vivariums..:(

I just got my gecko a week or two ago and the previous owner has her in a ten gallon but she is 8 I’m probably going to get her a 20-30 gallon but she is super sweet I love your videos!

Omg, thank you so much for the shoutout! I really appreciate it! I love this video, everyones tank in this video is amazing! Have a great day :D

very greatfull for your help in videos i now have a very happy leo named godzilla

Hi, im looking forward to owning a leapard gecko really soon! I wanted to know if gnats were something they could have apart of their diet.(since they’re easy to breed)

Hey, just wanted to ask how your Ants are doing? (If you're still having trouble, I totally recommend Crematogasters!!!)

Thank you I left a like

im currently saving up for a leopard gecko and planning to get 260 dollars the least so i have everything i need for them. If i was to get a heat pad do i need a lighting light or what regular light could i use just to light the tank?

Yayyayayayayyaay! New vid! XD

You should look into the issues with reptile carpet since it harbors bacteria, nails can get stuck and is generally pretty bad for a substrate. Some of the enclosures you showed had reptile carpet and personally I would advise against it. To keep the carpet clean you'd need to wash it every day.

I got a leopard gecko last year tomorrow is the same day we got him so I got him presents 🥰

My gecko is finally happy. Can u believe she was digging her cocopeat. Thanx to you. And what can I do to make her more happy?

Hi love your videos

My girl's light just broke so now I don't have one, but i supplement d3. So that's okay? Should I still get an incandescent light? I don't trust the temperature. Also, i am looking into getting more hides for her. She currently has one solid hide and a bunch of leaves for a second one but i know i need another. I'm going to try to get a place for her to climb as well. Would i be able to send in a thing for review that you might find or are you not taking suggestions anymore?

Is a gecko okay to be in a day-lit room like Holland’s if I still supplement vitamins with d3?

YES

3:00 i have the smae Temperature controler, i can’t get it to go above 85 even if it’s set to 100. I plan on getting a deep hear projector for christmas but for now i fear my gecko is not warm and that’s making her not poop. Could it be the bulb i’m using or the setter?

hii! so i got my leopard gecko last monday and hes already settled in i have a nice tank for him, but today he made a weird noise when we were spraying the moist hide he looks like he wants to shed soon but im a bit confused

Hello!! Have any leopard gecko friendly Christmas present 😂 I want to make her first Christmas at my house nice for her this year. Any recommendations?

I have 3 leopard geckos. I had my two little ones cohabed for about a month because i was told it was okay. One of them lost the very tip of his tail and i immediately removed him and they both are a lot happier. The tail tip healed perfectly and its just slightly more rounded than normal

Hey Rebecca, what are the dimensions of the leopard gecko enclosures? Not Diego’s tho because his is the mansion.

I have a 20 gallon long fish tank but it isn't front opening and no lid i'm concerned and don't know if its bad or good to keep my gecko in it

I have to upgrade mine to a 20gal. After I move and get more stuff for it

I am thinking of going bioactive in my leo's cage. Should I use some sort of substrate (and if so, what kind) or dirt or something of the sort?

ooh amy's setup is gorgeous

Cool video

Your videos are edited really well - its the one area im struggling with atm. Love the videos though!

Someone please give me a solid answer. Do I use UVB or not. I have a blazing blizzard morph and I've been told it will burn them if I use a light and UVB lighting isn't necessary if I'm giving him D3

If you use UV do you still have to feed Earth Pro A

My gecko is in the one in the thumbnail 😍😍😱😱 I’m freaking out AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I’m so happy 2:32 Oh I’m not going to keep them together I just Quarantined him because I didn’t want any like viruses or parasites to spread to my other gecko😊 And thank you for picking mine😁

I have a question can Leopard geckos eat pinkies or rat pups like the pink ones? Like is that part of their diet Because I saw it on youtube and I'm not sure if I want to feed it mice or rats to my Gecko.

AYE MY SETUP WAS THE FIRST ONE IN THE VID Tysm for reviewing it!! My setup kinda has changed (i added some more plastic plants like succulents n stuff) i've also been planning on getting my gecko a new moist hide anyways so might aswell get her a hide where she has a basking possibility. I'll def change the substrate into eco earth, until now i've been putting her food on a rock in the terrarium so she doesn't eat any of the substrate. And when it comes to crickets i usually tong-feed her, but it did happen a few times that i accidentally dropped them.

I have a Leopard gecko and I would like for you to give me options on my tank how would I got about doing that?

Is it safe for a 4-6 month old Leo to have Eco-Earth or Reptisoil substrate?

Aw man I missed this. I’ll participate in the next video.

at what age or how many months should i move my baby gecko to a bigger cage ?

Megan’s leopard gecko is the exact same as mine same morph and everything

I had some questions about leopard geckos and how much d3 calcium supplement i need to give my baby leopard gecko daily. At the moment i dont have him but i will in about 2 weeks ago i have everything set up and clean for the little guy but im still not sure when dusting his food with d3 calcium if i should dust it with d3 everyday or if i should only dust about ones or twice a week (i dont have a uvb light btw)

So I made a bowl out of clay for my leopard gecko to drink out of and I want to secure it with mod podge like that glue stuff would that be dangerous?

Oh dang it i should do the tank review thingy

What tanks do you recommend

What’s the morph of the leopard gecko in the thumbnail?? Love your videos❤️

Do you need a heat Matt as well as a uvb light?

Hey, so I heard you talking about using sunlight for UV and d3 supplements. I use a UV light AND d3 vitamin powder twice a week. Is that too much, or is there such thing as over vitamining?

I have my 2 month old Leo in a 10gallon, what is an appropriate age for her upgrade?? And also for my crestie?

Is it bad if I have a heat pad and a heat lamp
