I’m so excited to share this one with you! I’ve been planning on it for a while but had to wait until the nine-year mark. It’s wild how fast time flies, though! It seems like just yesterday that I got all three of the geckos. Which one is your favorite? Let me know! Enjoy and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

Thank you for constantly inspiring the community to thrive to make the most naturalistic spaces around

Tanner does it right. Instead of getting new animals to drive subs, he continually improves the lives of his existing animals to get people to watch.

Wow, I can't imagine 9 years of hand feeding. When I got my leopard gecko, Superpetz recommended hand feeding, but he loved hunting for live prey, and I always thought it was better for his physical and emotional health to let him live out his natural instincts. I only hand fed for the last 2 years of his life because his eyesight was failing. RIP Little Guy. It was a fun 14 years.

Having the maturity and the patience to let the animal determine handling frequency and style is incredibly uncommon, especially in today's age of constantly chasing instant gratification. When we do, though, we really end up having relationships with them that enrich our lives (and hopefully, theirs as well). Thank you for the reminder of this through sharing your gecko journey.

as an owner of a crested gecko, i just love this video! you inspire me to give my gecko the best care possible. keep doing what you're doing!

You should go to Kanaky/New Caledonia! I have seen so many wild geckos there!! I had a window covered one night! so cute! They are also the symbol of social groups!!

It is so inspiring how much work you have put into redoing these enclosures over the years. Especially with regards to how it has improved the emotional state of your reptiles. It's great to see people focusing on the mental health of all their animals.

Quick tip. It’s not 100% effective but when you feel a sneeze coming, push your tongue against the roof of your mouth to hold it off until you are able to safely sneeze, sometimes it will remove the sensation completely after a short period of time. Hope that saves some tails in the future.

I hope I look that good in 8 years. Thanks for the videos and updates!

I love how you show the improvements as you gain more knowledge and experience. That's one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much, you admit mistakes and learn better ways. Henry's little frog butt is adorable btw. Delilah is gorgeous as always. Cynthia just may be one of those animals who is less interested in being handled. You're doing right by letting her be herself and not pushing her to be what you want/expect.

You’re such an inspiration for caring, nurturing animal husbandry. Providing them natural, realistic spaces that are clean but bioactive, just like their forest homes goes such a long way in making healthy, content animals. You can really see the bond you have with Henry. Geckos are such inquisitive, smart creatures and it’s easy to see how happy yours are. I’d love to see you recreate the three tanks set up again but twice as tall. It would look fantastic in the new animal room. Thank you once again for being such a positive force in this hobby.

I love that you’ve been doing so many re-dos on the channel as of late. It’s so lovely to see that you always do your best to change the animals’ environments as they grow, and it’s nice to see which changes are needed in order to create the best and oftentimes the most natural homes for them. I’m always wary of people who keep exotic animals, but with every video it becomes clearer that you out everything into caring for the lot that you have. Wonderful video as always!! Thank you for continuing to make these every week, it’s such a great to get great content so frequently. Take care!! 💃

I always thoroughly enjoy your videos! Your gecko friend, Cynthia, is like a couple of feral cats that I took in...I describe those cats as "living in the background" in my home. They needed care and safety. I provide that and am thrilled when I get a glimpse of them at times. Life is short and I'm enjoying my journey and just trying to help others enjoy theirs. Thank you for helping so many enjoy their journies, as well.

Yours is one of the few channels where a "Looking back"-video makes so much sense, so much has happened! I really enjoyed seeing the journey and habits of your three friends and its also really cool to see the subtle changes in your methods! I would enjoy more of these for the other animals (especially the reptiles and amphibians; I like to look at fish but I cant empathize so much with them and their story, but hey glad if you can prove me wrong!)

I love these videos! So inspiring and entertaining

The longevity of your animals is a testament to your care and love. ❤️

I don’t think there have ever been 3 Geckos better cared for, or given more love. You are an exceptional human being.

You're literally one of the most amazing people on this planet. You do so much good for animals and the landscapes you create are always beautiful and peaceful. 😊

Thank you for loving them fully and properly 😊 They really are wonderful to have. My albino crested gecko and my Chinchilla would sit and watch TV together.

Always love these videos so much it helps add so much personality to the animals and tanks

Love the trip down memory lane!!!! Those are some lucky geckos! ❤😊❤

The thing that appreciate the most about you is that your consistently buying new pets. Instead you take the time to improve the quality of life of the pets that you already have. I see so many KZfaqrs here buying pets and keeping them in poor setups. Thank you for showing us how to give our pets the best life possible

It’s always a good day when you post a video

I have a gargoyle gecko and a leachianus. This video will be great inspiration for the future - I’m moving soon and will be taking advantage of the opportunity to set them up in new enclosures.

Your videos are always a highlight of my week. Thank you for sharing your animals and setups with us!

Scoring those magnets (or anything metal) with a lower grit sandpaper like 80 or 120 grit will help the epoxy stick better. Amazing build as always!

Hah, incredible timing - just an hour ago i finally started on my first vivarium build ever, for a crested gecko, heavily inspired by yours :D EDIT/UPDATE: finished it today and put her in, and SHE! LOVES! IT!!! my husband and i sat there for an hour just watching her explore her new surroundings, jumping and climbing, smelling everything like crazy. it was awesome! thank you for inspiring us!!

I love this compilation of everything - my brain is so happy learning what improvements you made between enclosures and when planning for upcoming enclosures

You are a great story teller! I also admire your detailed documentation of the entire process. This was an amazing and well produced video (as usual). Felt like I was watching a movie.

Oh man I got teary in your wrap up of the video 🥲 Your comments about ever improving and that mutual trust you build with your animals was really moving. I have 3 juvenile Murray River (Eastern Short Neck) turtles. I never planned to have turtles so it’s been a huge learning curve to give them a good home. I recently built them a large raised pond, it has so many naturalistic features and they can bask in the sun on gnarled driftwood or hide in shady spots amongst lily pads. I’m a huge native plant lover so I’ve managed to get 10 different native plant species in there for them. I’ve got an underwater version of a clean up crew in there too haha. I guess I got teary knowing they came from a small, bare glass tank to this epic set up where I hope, like you always do, they’ll thrive. I’ve watched your vids for years and you’re a huge inspiration. I’m confident that not only will they grow into this space well, but the next spaces will be even better. Looking forward to your next post, love these enclosure ones 😊💚🐢

Thank you Tanner. I love the way you love your animals. 🌺💚🙃

Henry is probably my favorite animal you have

What a loving tribute! You take such good care of your animals! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

I absolutely love the acknowledgement that providing a better living space also leads to more trust and positive interaction.

Henry has such beautiful eyes 😌

I love how honest you are in this video, very inspiring and educational as well. Really nice to see your journey in this way. It makes me even more excited about this hobby. Thanks for inspiring me!

Your final thought was really beautiful and touching, thank you.

I love these videos you’ve been doing lately showing the progression of some of your animals!

I used your videos to help with my newest build- a 22x30x40 habitat for my rescue crested gecko. He's absolutely thriving and I'm so happy I was able to make him something special. Keep doing what you're doing!

So amazing to see them grow with you and how you improved your techniques over time. Love it!

Those builds are works of art 🖼

Tanner's account shows that a person can be a consistent advocate for animal care while STILL growing their social media audience. No one has to sell out, exploit animals, or take on too many new animals in order to grow subs! 🙌🏼

I love you’re work!!! I’m learning on bioactive vivariums and how to care for them There’s something that’s just soothing about your videos and has me eager to make one for my gargoyle

love your work keep uploading .....

It is so refreshing seeing how you gave you geckos a bigger enclosure and addmit that the other where not big enough. I'm building an new enclosure for my day gecko and wanted to get some inspiration and get some new tips. While doing so I could find mostly only Videos where the dude/ girl just took a 20 gal exo terra (some only 10 gal). Even some big youtubers promoted these for day or crested geckos. This was so hearth breaking. Geckos need a big enclosure like at least 30-35 gal for small ones and 40 gal when they grow up. (45-50 gal should be the standard for most geckos).

a masterpiece of story telling and dedication for the hobby once again, thank you Tanner! :)

Been a sub since 2014… you never fail to impress me. Your work always improves. ❤

I love these update videos! I feel like we learn so much from them.

Im leaving a comment on this video, but I've just watched a variety of videos that you have made over the past year. Thank you for your content and for showing your work in detail, some of which I found relaxing like the terrariam build video, I watched and listened while cleaning one of my aquariums just today. You have a very good skill set, and those are very much needed. Thank you.

Thank you for putting together this geckumentary. ;-) It was most interesting, and the critters are nice to look at. I hope they continue to thrive.

Crested geckos are so cute. Daughter had one for a while and he was fun to watch. As usual you did awesome with their setups.

This video was amazing :)) . Just truly moving. Beautiful relationships you have with the animals you share a home with. Keep it up sir!

I saw this video at breakfast. Later on I went to the market with my sister; she was driving. I told her the bit about you sneezing so hard Henry’s tail fell off and she laughed so hard she almost wrecked us. You see, we have quite a number of abandoned cats and the worst that happens if we surprise sneeze is they scatter. She said she’s sorry Henry lost his tail, but she instantly imagined what it would be like if cats dropped their tails and she couldn’t stop laughing. Thanks again for your wonderful work and storytelling.

You are a truly inspirational keeper! I absolutely love that u try to provide as naturalistic habitats as possible. Instant sub

your voice is so calming :) your vids are so amazing! thank you for making them!

Amazing set ups . You have put a lot of thought & work into your set ups . Well done 👍🏻

When I first watched your video of the 3 matching gecko enclosures, I had to get my own cresties. Theyre just so neat and so full of personality. I got three of them, and surprise, one had two eggs so now I have 5! I love cresties, and I made them bioacrive setups using years of tips from your videos

Cresties are my favourite buddies 😊 though I do find a big difference between their behaviour in 2’ tall terrariums vs the 5’ tall ones I have now. If you can go that high or higher, I highly recommend it!! I’ve also found that sand sticks really well to acrylic coloured epoxy which gives a super realistic rock look and gives them a very secure hold

This is awesome and the only appropriate way to keep animals like these! Great to see somebody actually care about hosting animals at home.

Amazing, thanks for the great videos and inspiration.

thank you for adding good subtitles to this video, they helped me be able to watch it :)

Love them!!

What a wonderful video. Thank you so much.

it really makes me so happy to swee that some terrariums even fail and have to be perfected from time to time even for professionals. Ive had some bioactive terrariums fail and ive been bumbed and feeling rly bad about it but this really made me think that its okey to fail. and they dont work perfect ALL the time. So thank you for this

Setting up my Leachie's new home in a couple months, so this was great to get some tips. Always great content, thank you.

Beautiful and informative video! I love how you've helped Cynthia even though she wasn't yours first

As someone who didnt know where to start with a bioactive enclosure for my garg and crested i just want to say think you for guiding me on set ups and being and overall inspiration in helping me provide the best homes for my 2 geckos

You are amazing mate. I love your content. :)

Great video! Beautiful story

I like your work. Since I was a child, I have liked to see and interact with animals.

Wow! Nice work!!!!

Really fascinating stuff love your content ❤❤❤❤❤

So beautiful. So wise. So true.

Thank you for the video!

That was honestly one of your best videos man

What an amazing journey 🦎🖤🦎🖤🦎

You can add a long wood accent, divide it into 3 segments. Add in a way that makes it look like it goes trough all 3 sections.

Another great video. Love there homes nicely done. God bless and to all a bless day 🙏❤️

Thanks for the excellent video Tanner. I’m glad that you aren’t holding yourself to an arbitrary timeline for releasing videos.

videography and editing gets better every video. keep it up man !!!!

Ohhhh he is so precious ❤

i loved this video , i also have a crested gecko too!

Bravo Serpa!!❤

What a journey!

Great content! Love geckos

Awesome work!

When everything is back to normal could u take a time to do a tour of everything in your collection awesome...content man keep it up 👏

Looking great man

Keep up the good work i love your vids

This is actually really validating because I have a few reptiles that require help eating.

great to see the journey. especially for those of us thinking of getting into keeping geckos. one thing that is curious to me, can they not be kept in communities? one enclosure for all three?

this is my favorite video of yours so far!!!!!!!! i love this so much!!!! they are so cute and you are such a great pet parent!! 🩷🩷🩷

I would have had to take Cynthia in too. I'm glad she found you!

I love this!!! ❤❤❤

Excellent advise, I hope I can make tanks as awesome as these for my reptiles as well!

I looooooove your gecko content! Tysm!

this was such a good video! 💚💚💚💚

So nice can you make more geko video’s they are so nice

Absolutely lovely! It's wonderful to see someone caring for their critters with so much passion and commitment. One question though. Can anyone explain to me why Henry's tail hasn't grown back yet? I thought geckos could do that in about a month.
