Just got my first leopard gecko and I stumbled across your channel. I really like how you present information. You're passionate about every reptile and really informative but you don't condemn people doing stuff wrong which I really like since moste people don't want to hurt their pets and are more likely to listen to someone who is as calm and friendly as you. Also I adore how calm your leopard geckos are and how easy you handle them. Your pets trust you and that's just more reason to listen to your info.

Can confirm about the sand substrate. 25 years ago or so when I was a child my parents got me a leopard gecko. The pet store told us sand was the best substrate since they are “desert” animals. We didn’t know much about thermostats and GOOD thermometers (not the plastic analog ones in the big box pet store, but good thermometers) and we thought all was well. He lived for maybe 8 months to a year and then we found out the hard way the sand substrate caused internal bleeding. It was traumatizing as a child. To make a long story short, don’t use sand. Please don’t use sand. Please buy thermometers and legitimate thermostats and your gecko will be super happy and healthy. I love them

“These geckos are from the desert” they are from a desert type area. But do not put sand as their ground material in the cage when you decorate it. The sand can get in their food dish and that is bad cause when they eat the sand it can scratch and clog the intestines causing constipation and other problems which will eventually lead to death if untreated. Instead of a desert themed in closure make a jungle themed using slanted bark for them to climb on and soil or something I forgot the name of as a ground material.

Prior to that, my family owned an Iguana named Salty and he was a real bastard---he would try to bite and whip us with his tail---so, feeding and cleaning his enclosure was a NIGHTMARE. After the experience with Salty the Iguana, it was very nice to get such a laid back lizard. I would definitely own a leopard gecko again.

When I had gecko's I handled them every single day to ensure they would realize that i'm no threat to them. Eventually I let them crawl on me and they would sit either in my neck or under my shirt where it's warm. I personally only had once 2 eggs, but nothing came of that unfortunately. Never fed them roaches, just the worms, crickets and sometimes wild coughed insects. I did notice that my male Gecko was really curious of my camera. Every time I opened their enclosure and had my camera with me he would directly come towards me and let himself be photographed. Sometimes even crawling on top of my camera on his own power. The females that I had were less fond of the camera, they would allow it but quickly disappear in one of the hiding spots.

Wonderful video as always! One thing I really don't agree with however is the daily misting. That's definitely a way to give your leo a respiratory infection. Instead use a water dish. They drink readily out of dishes, they're just a bit secretive about it lol. and make sure you have a hide stuffed with wet paper towels or moss, that takes care of the shedding. Also the under tank heater is pretty much a must. bulbs tend to bother them and they need belly heat to properly digest food ^^
@ClintsReptiles 6 жыл бұрын
Agreed, daily spraying would not be ideal if your gecko enclosure lacks proper ventilation. You should only mist so that there are drops they can drink, but not so much that it doesn't dry completely within an hour or so. I too prefer heat mats. That is what I recommended in the video. But a red bulb can work.

anyone reading this thinking about getting a gecko: if you don't want to watch your gecko potentially die a slow and painful death, make sure you have an exotic vet near you, and don't get a gecko if youre not willing/able to pay the fee for a vet appointment there in an emergency. i've seen so many geckos die because people don't get their pet medical help because they can't afford it or because they wanted to treat it at home themselves. if you're a kid, don't expect mom or dad to be willing/able to pay or drive you 2 hours to an exotic vet. if you're a parent and can't afford the vet or travel, you might want to wait to get a gecko until that's doable because it'll break your kids heart if their little friend dies.

If you’re a child and you have a pet you probably expect your parents to pay for anything that pet needs. In my opinion the financial responsibility is on the parents more than it’s on the child. Children have no option in financial decisions but they should take care of their animal and bring anything they are concerned about to their parents attention and the parents should be checking every other day on the health of the pets. Definitely agree with your other great points. 👍🏼

Right after you said they're adorable, the gecko stuck his tongue out and I almost died of cuteness! I'm very new to reptiles, and hoping to keep these as my first pet. Any tips on convincing my parents that I will be able to take care of these on my own? They're against pets as they don't want to be the ones taking care of them all the time when I go to school, which is understandable. Will these geckos be fine without insect feeders? I think that's a big no-no for my parents too. Other than that, thanks for the great informative videos!

I actually didn't know that misting thing for leopard geckos when I got mine. Just goes to show that your research doesn't end just because you got the animal.
@pandabazzinga3133 4 жыл бұрын
I heard you aren’t supposed to mist them because it can cause the humidity to rise in the tank and that can cause respiratory issues? 🤷🏻♀️. A lot of info is out there.
@dragonlady3852 4 жыл бұрын
I've had mine five years now and never misted once and I'm not starting now. I live in Florida and keeping his humidity levels low is challenging enough without constantly spraying down his enclosure. Luckily he was bred by a local breeder here in Florida so he's used to the higher humidity levels. He's a good boy who drinks from his water bowl.

I've been researching on Leopard geckos and some people just say "Oh they just need mealworms or superworms with calci dust or reptivite but I was going to ask you and your opinion on it. Because a lot of people have different opinions on it and say they need to have superworms,(or mealworms) along with crickets and dubia roches people also say they just need dubias and mealworms or superworms. So I'm just asking your opinion on and about it.
@ClintsReptiles 6 жыл бұрын
I would say that you would be best served to offer a varied diet. Beetle larvae (like meal worms and super worms) can be a good staple, but adding in other feeders will likely supply nutrients that may be lacking from a worm-only diet.

@@rottweilerfun9520 This is late but roaches are not necessary, however dubia roaches are the healthiest widely available bug you can feed to a gecko, crickets come in second. Dubias would be a good treat once in a while if you can handle it, otherwise just make sure to give your gecko supplements and variety every once in a while. My gecko is very picky and only eats live dubias and crickets (I hate crickets), even though she was fed mealworms when she was in the breeders care. I'm going to see if she can handle some worms again because I have someone with birds I can give them to.

I have a Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail Baldy Leopard Gecko I named Summer. He's 6 months old and only 6 inches long he's still getting used to me but he's calming down quite a bit. Of course I only got him on Thursday a couple days ago from a breeder and he's already starting to calm down so they're definitely laid back lizards. He's finally letting me hold him for short periods of time and I'm gradually increasing that time little by little until I can have him out for longer periods of time. But so far I'm really happy with him and I'm really glad I got him such a sweet and innocent little leopard gecko.

I want to know which gecko says “gecko”. I was in Indonesia a few months ago and I loved the night sounds including the gecko. I never saw one but was told it was tokay. I think it sounds like “gecko” not “tokay” so I wonder what it was we heard. There were all kinds of geckos everywhere! ❤️ I crept around in the dark but they were well hidden.
