Give your geckos a big pool(but not big enough to drown) with water to drink.My geckos is just walking through it (I don't know if they're doing this with reason, or they're too lazy to walk around the bow)...oh,and don't forget to leave the water for 12/14 h. before filling the bow (for drinking).

I literally just came from petco because I needed some crickets while I wait for a shipment of dubias etc. And the girl I spoke with watches you too (yep, we bonded over that and the love for our geckos) but when I saw their leo enclosures I asked her why are they on sand?! She hates it so much too, but they will not let her swap it. Corporate dictates they must be on sand. This is unbelievable. They are lucky enough to have an employee that is knowledgeable and then they put this corporate bs over her. It's sad. And of course it drives her mad. So, that said, if anyone were to get a gecko from petco (of course most of us will agree to not even do that in the first place and get a reptile from a chain pet store) but if someone does, it very likely may already be impacted so keep that in mind.

I was going to get a leopard gecko from petco, but they didn't have any and I went somewhere else. I hadn't watched the video on pet o before so I didn't know. I love my gecko even though I've only had them for a day! But it's unbelievable the conditions of those geckos there.

there’s a petco nearby me and it seem that the woman who is most likely in chargw of the reptile section is doing a very good job. the leos have correctly sized mealworms with supplementa, good substrate, heat mat, thermostat, hides, not too many bunched together, etc. i was very happy to see that for a petco they were doing a good job

You definitely don't have to be rich. I'm actually poor. I literally have zero income since this crisis started. I've used my savings and the fact that I never purchase something for myself other than maybe vape juice or coils, all my money goes 1. To my child 2. To my pets. And you have to thoroughly research your prices. There can be variations of 20 dollars or more when you are looking at T5 hoods for example. And the little things add up too. Check pangea, they have good prices! Depending on where you are (EU or US) you will find some places that have things a lot cheaper, you may just need to be more patient due to them having to ship it instead of you walking into a brick and mortar store. I tried to get the best of the best for my gecko, if it was out of my budget I tried to find other things to get him the best possible I could for the money I had. But you don't have to go out and do a full bioactive setup right away, that is expensive, trust me, I spent over 300 dollars already and I'm not done. You can get your gecko what it needs and some on a budget. It is possible.

Brilliant video! I have been experimenting making my own caves with polyurethane pink foam. It glues well, it carves well, paints well, and it is strong but light. I made different shapes, sizes, and different hole cutout patterns. What I noticed is that my LG, when offered two hides both partially over the heat tape, chooses the cave with two openings. I even painted the inside of a 2-hole cave a beige color on the inside, and a single-hole cave black on the inside, thinking it would prefer the dark inside. The LG still picked the 2-hole cave. The best design seems to be a medium hole on one end or side and a bit smaller hole on the other, with enough hide length to not be seen between the exits. Then I saw your video here, and you talked about the two-hole hide. My guess is that they instinctively like an escape route. Just guessing here of course. Would be interesting to test this on many LGs and see if there is truly a pattern. Anyway, great job on your video (as always..)

My leopard gecko NEVER leaves her moist hide - ever! Occasionally I catch her out of a morning but all day she goes into her moist hide. If I take it out, she paces around looking for it and won't stop until I put it back in! Very strange behaviour, but if geckos frequently get attached to hides like mine has, maybe the anecdote of the gecko and the log is just a similar case?
@Zuxeh7 жыл бұрын
That is not a problem at all guys, wild Leopard Geckos commonly seek damp microclimates in which to spend the day asleep (presumably due to the otherwise arid climate they live in) and given the choice of a suitably placed and constructed moist hide will almost always choose to use that. 11/12 of my Leos currently only sleep in their moist hides. Its worth noting however, having a moist hide on the cool side is close to pointless in terms of providing the Gecko a hide that it will use a lot, always have it on the warm side where possible.
@JTBReptiles7 жыл бұрын
Shane Thanks! I've got mine on the warm side, used to have it on the cold side but she stopped eating when it was like that. I'll add moss to the other hides and see what happens. That information makes a lot of sense; my gecko has only gained this habit after I moved her into her Exo Terra which maintains a lower humidity. Also where've you been recently Shane, I've missed your input! Nice to see you're still around!

On day 1 he didn't really like me he was Abit skittish and on the second day I sat with my hand in the tank for about 45 mins and he was just exploring and licking me and then today I placed my hand in the tank and he ran straight over and laid on my hand for about 10 mins before running back off! I have learnt a lot watching these videos even down to substrate and calcium! I got Leo from pets at home and they were brilliant suggesting I use either kitchen towel, eco earth or Repti carpet with 1 moist hide 1 cold and 1 moist they told me everything I need to know and even in the tank Leo was in the had a calcium dish in the corner and mealworms dusted in powders and they said it was essential... personally I think they were brilliant infact so much better than the breaded I got my snake from! Hope this helps people if they were looking in the uk where to get a healthy Leo from

I live near the equator do i still need a heat pad?
@lilys.21677 жыл бұрын
Yes, leopard geckos take in heat through their belly so heat pads are a must have.

My gecko LOVES his log hide on his heat mat !! 💗🦎
@nightinggale64702 жыл бұрын
Heat mats are not a good heat source. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce Infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin. Also, log hides aren’t great since they’re pretty exposed and don’t really hide the gecko. Fully enclosed hides like caves are ideal.

I have a cave hide in my enclosure but my gecko barely goes in there he likes big hides where he doesn’t have to be squashed, Also in this video it says that log hides are goood so the. Heat can come through and two open sides and she even have a log hide in her terrariums aswell but thank you for the advice :)

@@froggysgaming3391 ok. I’d still switch to a better heat source, though.

i’ve had a corn snake and a ball python for years. the ball python poops so infrequently and the poop is always so large it’s such an event every time so clean up is okay 😂 but my corn snake poops EVERYWHERE. on everything, against every corner, at the door way of every hide. when i tell you the RELIEF i felt at realizing this gecko i just took in as a surrender was pooping in the same spot every time!!! i put a paper towel there and it’s made cleanup such a dream it’s so amazing 😭♥️

Thank you so much! I just got my first Leopard Gecko yesterday (after lots of careful research and a year or so of thinking to ensure it's really what I wanted) and he is already super tame and active thanks to a great breeder, but when I put him in his cage he didn't want to go in his warm hide or explore. We switched the log with the cave so that the log was on the warm side, and he now loves both hides. Thank you! My new buddy (yet to be named) thanks you :)

My leopard gecko mainly stays in his dark hide on the colder side, and doesn’t really use the log hide near the middle and sometimes uses the other hide on the warm side
@nightinggale64702 жыл бұрын
Make sure all of the hides fully hide the gecko. Half logs are too exposed. They shouldn’t have to choose between security and thermoregulation.

For number five I do that, my gecko has fake grass as bedding and she poops in one corner, so I put paper towel the in that corner and surround it by rocks so it is hard to see from the outside of the tank and and doesn't compromise the natural look I'm going for :D
@fionashepley4784 жыл бұрын
Fake grass isn’t a great substrate. Paper towel, non-adhesive shelf liner, or textured tile are all good solids. It’s best to offer digging enrichment with reptisoil, organic top soil, or a bioactive substrate. You could do full loose, half and half, or full solid with a dig box

I love your channel; It's very educational. I have recently become very interested in reptiles and I pursued getting a Leo his name is Ripley. He's a little baby still and we've only had him for 5 days and your video on "How To Get Your Gecko To Love You" really helped. Our gecko just ate a mealworm out of my hand yesterday and we've been holding him at a specific time at night to help him get comfortable with us. Thank you and please keep continuing with your videos. 😬👍
