Put some water on the suction cups and they will stay on I've never had an issue with using suction cups and they last pretty well

With the cage you are using the holes in the back are made for cords to go through. You can thread decoration and leaves through the holes and then slide the slider on the lid to secure them.

I've used suction cups for holding up vines with great results. You need good quality ones but it's not that hard.

Really kool to take the time out to show a basic crested gecko set up. Video's exactly like this help reptile owners while growing the overall hobby. I consider myself a more experienced gecko owner... But always learn a ton of information from you in so many of your video's. Really dig the two pangea magnet food bowl holders on each side of the tank for the vines/branches.A great sturdy elevated solution to use the upper tank space area. Will be using that idea in the future for my dozens of glass enclosures. Suction cups drive our household crazy constantly falling.. Especially with our larger adult crested geckos. While I will go with a lil larger outside magnet for the food bowls with my enclosures with multiple geckos. I couldn't agree more when you brought up the one time enclosure set up fee being cheap for animal that lives twenty years... Thank you for continuing these high informative video's.. Always love learning.

I’m getting a crestie next month and your videos have helped so much thank you

I have this exact setup and I’m getting my crested gecko next weekend.

Your videos are very helpful thank you!

Awesome information thank you so much very helpful. We got are grandson one and just want to make sure we are doing everything right

Hi, and thanks a bunch for your videos. They have been a great help for my new Crestie. I didn't read through all the comments, so forgive me if this is repeated, but I've got a little trick for hanging decor up high. Fishing line. You don't need to widen the holes of the mesh top, it holds plenty of weight with a high test line, it's practically invisible, and it is really easy to work with. Thanks again for your videos, they really are great.

We've learned a lot from your channel ,6 months ago ...cresty is in great shape nowadays.

the vine trick!! wow perfect

I've used suction cups for holding up vines for years they are great.

very helpful setup video thank you

Cool naturalistic build!

I use the thrive vine and tropical kit, and I love it. I intertwined the zoo med flexible branch in with the fern vine and it really fills the space and looks natural and lovely.

I would have stuck that plant to the back of the enclosure but that's a cute little enclosure!

I got a crested gecko 2 weeks ago and he's the cutest thing ever! I now see what you mean by the only way you can tell if they're eating is if they poop. Every morning I wake up and there is dirt in his food and water dish so I can tell he's found it!

I still don't have a crested gecko my birthday is September 3rd. I have 7 pythons but im gathering and researching as much information as I can before I pull the trigger, and also I cannot find a super dalmatian, spotted ,ink spots, confetti. Crestie anywhere! unless they are like thousands!? a local pet store had a baby dalmatian for 88$ I should have jumped on that! but my husband said no. Wait bc we didn't have the setup yet etc. Plus it was like a week till payday but, He said it will still be there by your birthday and nope! someone smarter than me bought it so fast its gone! and thats the only healthy dalmatian I've seen in my area. In months! im getting discouraged, and my birthday is going to be a bust now :(

I would definitely mention that taking on the responsibility of keeping reptiles, money will definitely be spent. Some items can be affordably bought but others are best to buy quality over affordability. Getting the animal is easy. The set up, however, is where it gets expensive when done correctly. 👍🏻

I spent around 500 dollars for my gecko and tank set up which isn’t bad knowing that is a one time purchase and they live 15-20 yrs

Hey man love the videos just wanted to drop a line really quick and say that the way i have been able to fix the whole vine hanging life hack is hot glue gun and can glue it up semi permanantly and if you need to move it it can be taken loose without the struggle something like super glue would cause. Hope this helps someone if you have a better way let me know but already having the other decor and having a hot glue gun from setting up my dubia colonies it worked perfect for me.... Cheers

Thank aim actually about to get a crested gecko

How often would you need to clean a setup like this? Would I need to put a “clean up crew” in place or is it best to replace the coco fibre substrate and moss every so often?

Thank you for this video. I've been debating on buying that decoration kit, but it looked like it didnt have much in it. One day I hope to be able to have one of your stunning geckos. Just gotta figure out how to get it to me in Canada lol.

My gecko loves that fern. He’s still little and loves to sleep in it

Tie wire works perfect for me hanging vines for my geckos without having to break the screen.

I'm adopting an adult crestie soon

Great video ..So question do u throw away the moss after its been pooped on or wash it? And how often do u do a complete cage cleaning for your gecko?

It's worth noting that the log hide presented at 9:55 is absolutely notorious in colubrid communities, as the narrow top portion is also hollow, unfortunately leading to many very small animals becoming stuck inside it. I always recommend plugging it up with aquarium sealant or other animal-safe silicone to prevent tiny reptiles from being able to squeeze in.

I saw your video on how you got into geckos and it inspired me to get a crested ! I already had a gargoyle and a leopard so I figured why not get a crested? I got a baby at an expo a week ago

With a setup like this, how do you handle cleanup?

Him spends 16 dollars me: stick I will use!

I ordered the bag of eco earth but it’s a lot finer than I expect and is labeled as “loose coconut fiber substrate” I’m a little iffy about using it because i don’t know if it’ll be an issue when I drop crickets inside and he eats any off the substrate? Do you think this will be an issue?

If you don't set the habitat up as bioactive, do you replace the moss each time you clean the habitat out?

can i keep cresties in my room which have LED Light strips in?

So if the bare minimum height is 18”, would it be fine to put a crested gecko in a 32 gal horizontal aquarium? So it’s a lot more horizontal space than the 12” 12” and 18” but it’s still 18 inches tall. I’m interested in getting a cresty and I already have that tank. I’ll use that as long as I know the gecko would be happy with it

I never would have thought of using the food ledge! I swear my suction cups all have minds of their own, some have never fell ever and others fall off constantly 🤦

How often should I change the moss or do house keeping?

Question ive seen this decorative moss vine your talked about and moss like this is also sold in a ball for flower arrangements its harmful to anything that eats it ...Its not alive!! It will not grow!! so bascially its sprayed or dyed green to keep the appearance so no bueno my friend..The box besides that is sick props to the company and you.. I love the variety of moss it comes with but it should come with a waring label or instructions im just saying ..Also i seen the acrylic food bowls way to much...So why i ve wondering why are you not find out some prices and patons and making you own..How about to match the banner behind you ..so in green with you symbol in the inside of the fold... come on lets make this 💰

What age/size do you think would be appropriate for this size cage?

Are reptile carpets good bad or trash. Love your videos . i have s 7week old crested gecko so youll see me pop up alot with questions. We got our guy in the tub for now till im thinking about 6 month old and then we have a 45Gallon fish tank its diamond shaped were gonna use for baby flokie the vicking bost build crestedGecko . so im wanting to get The things to set up his big tank we got 4montths. Is it a good size or too big?? Then well keep his baby tub for cleaning his tank or travel ,do they need a yearly vet visit or just if they look sick?? We had a chinese water dragon for 11 years ...i thought i did all The research on wich lizard to get before we got him ....but always more to learn ;)

Ordinarily, you would be changing the substrate (Eco Earth) every 4-6 weeks. If you're doing this method, are you still changing all of your substrate every 4-6 weeks?

Got a question what do I when they use the bathroom in there

Does it need lamps or any kind of humitity?

So when they poop? I was wondering how do you clean this? Just remove it all and replace it? How often?

I have a long 20 inch tank and I don't have much of anything to setup the tank. It is in a 10 gallon round tank right now

Can anyone answer if baby tooth moss is ok for crested geckos? My crestie is in a bioactive vivarium currently but I’m upgrading her and have some baby tooth moss that I want to put in i just can’t find anything online that gives me a yes it’s ok or no it’s not ok on this moss. Thank you in advance

Is coco fiber made with coconut so it safe if they eat it?

By any chance is there anyone near Sheffield who has a spare crestie tank thats around 18x24 inches that i could buy/take off their hands? Thankyou

Question! How do you clean the cage if you keep real moss and substrate under, wouldn't it cause germs due to humidity?

How do you clean a setup like this

Can i use terrarium moss for my crested gecko?

Im thinking of getting one so how many times do u feed them a day also what do they eat? Also do crested geckos need any heater or anything or do they not need anything

I might be getting a baby crested gecko soon, and I was wondering how you would set up a tank for a baby? Is it okay to have a baby crestie in a 18×18×18×18×24? Or no?

Hey if anyone out there knows. My substrate is really damp like instead of being light brown it’s almost black. Is this how it should look after a few months?

How often do you change the substrate ? How do you keep it cleaned ?

I've been putting in more substrate than that because she likes to burrow deep into it. Is that okay?

1:05 I'm clicking franticly but it doesnt analyze

Can you reuse the moss? Sorry if this sounds stupid

On the topic of crested geckos does anyone happen to know how often to take them to the vet

Anyone else wonder how the magnets stayed when he pulled the ledge off? At 15:15

I'm a new crust of gecko owner and I set up his substrate and put fake plants in it but I used, soil and moss and my hydro balls with fake plants and now it's getting kind-of swamp like..why and what do I do? Should I use live plants, so it can drink some of the water i spray in there? Or am I spraying to much water? Please help me.

Hello, the whole setup looks functional and that is the most important thing. I mean using this kind or that kind of moss is secondary and the rest is question of taste - personally I do not like the vine because it looks artificially. What I am really interested in and what really lacks in the setup is lighting. I guess you are planning to set some, so my question is: What type of lighting are you going to install in this terrarium? Generally, all seems to be ok, so keep on doing. And all the best for you and your geckos. :)

No drainage layer?? How does that work?

Do I wanna get a crested gecko?, definitely not. I'll see a 20 min video of how to do an amazing setup for them? Definitely yes! Amazing video, explanation and aweasome accessories; love it!! More videos with setups ideas.

I keep one crestie in a 18x24x36 exo

Are those vines stable?

How do you avoid mold growing in your cages? There’s a lot of dark, very humid spots in cages that would be perfect for mold growth

I got mine in a 12×12×24. Is that good for my Crested

No drainage layer?

My coconut fiber substrate got moldy within a couple weeks is that normal?

It's me again I'm scared to be holding it because he or she had bit me and I don't know how to grab it and it is not tame what to do

What do you do about light and heat?

Hey with those coco fibers ima afraid my baby gecko will eat it. It’s around 6 months old is it safe ? Lol not sure if I’m over reacting

How do you clean it? They poop like crazy

Can I still use coco as bedding if my crested gecko spends alot of time on the ground and eats there too? he won't eat off a ledge

Not sure about that white moss.. looks abit outta place or even like someone forgot some cottonballs in there. Great vid tho as always.

how do you keep it warm in there so it can stay humid

I had a crested gecko who had echo earth as the bedding and he accidentally ate it and it killed him😢 so now I use paper towels

? Does anyone know if crested or gargoyle geckos poop in one spot like the leopard gecko?

Couldn't you just use a tiny little twist tie and thread it through the pre-existing holes in the screen?

Ok so if any one is reading this that that’s cool but I think that yes you can keep a cresti in a 12x12x18 it I would only for a baby

the gecko drink milk? and i can feed just fruits?

2:45 you forgot the balls and charcoal and screen before the dirt....

you said this is for the geckos entire life does that include substrate ive heard people say you need to replace crested gecko substrate monthly is this true?

Can I put my crested gecko in storage box

can't you just hot glue the vines to the glass?

Soaking the moss causes them all to mold in like 2 days, i followed the vid and 2 days later it was all moldy lol, no hard feelings though my friend

You can meet our crestie, Gizmo, in this week's video. We also build him a nice new home. Hope you enjoy!

i want get a crested gecko but at algeria we dont have geckos😭

It looks so crowded with the decor, very little space for the gecko

hey you didnt say anything about lighting!

My gecko will not eat what do i do?

a cat or a dog or a PIG?

How is it that you miss the natural and inexpensive solution? Your method to display vines is mediocre at best. You've overlooked the obvious. How it escaped you I'm not certain. Add actual branches into the enclosure. Crested geckos are arboreal animals that climb trees and limbs well. You can entwine the vines around the branches and this is a MUCH better solution than feeding rings, suction cups, and screen or ridge hooking. The point of vertical terrariums and vivariums is to afford the animals an environment that mimics their natural habitat. This includes multiple vertical or slightly diagonal wooden limbs in their tank. In addition to vines it's a good idea to add a hide/shelter and foliage for them as they are predominantly crepuscular and nocturnal. Multiple limbs creating a vertical backdrop will allow the geckos to make short leaps to other limbs. A small hide can be suspended atop one of the background branches and concealed with moss. This will add even more security since arboreal animals prefer height when resting as a refuge from potential predators. The closer to the top the more at ease your gecko will become. Most of the video gives good pointers, but the fact that your set up is so weak vertically makes the inclusion of a couple of artificial vines almost an afterthought of little provision for these animals. Plants can also be added. Whether artificial for easy maintenance, or live. And if you add live plants a vine that is hardy, creating ground cover and can be trained to climb limbs added to the enclosure is "creeping fig" ficus pumilo." The more natural you can make your habitat and the closer to conditions found in the wild, the better health, vigor, and behavior you will get from your gecko.

16 bucks for the feeder ledge?! That's highway robbery! $16 for a piece of plastic and some magnets....pffft

Jesus Loves all of you guys

I’m so confused why it’s so common to make such bland, open tanks? Maybe I’m not up to date but I’m fairly sure Cresties like to have plenty of plants to hide around in. I have a crestie and I spent prob $20 total getting everything for her tank. Dollar tree, Amazon, Walmart, etc have plenty of cheep fake plants for at least a temporary tank. My crestie has always loved how many plants she has, often sleeping/resting in the fake plants instead of her hides, loves to sit and hunt on the flowers, etc. again maybe cresties do like an open tank? Mine loves her tank tho and it’s really pleasing and realistic to look at!

This cage is way too small for an adult 👎

Guys, This is a whole bunch of crap. Just use zip ties to hold you’re vines up.. they are WAY cheaper, they look better (because they’re barely visible compared to a food ledge😂) and if u make the whole in the screen with some common sense, it shouldn’t damage anything and should be perfectly snug for the zip ties. Also expanding foam (animal safe) can be used to “glue” sticks and wood climbs to the wall of you’re terrarium. Ngl this whole vid had me laughin
