lol

@Kameron Watson it works for me

Dang what a steal!

not necessarily, it depends on what substrate you're using/how. much of it youre using and whether or not you have a burrowing animal.

You'd want the probe on the actual heat mat. 😊

@@johnniediaz86 So should the heat mat be in the tank directly under the substrate? If you have the mat, will you need a heating lamp?

You can’t get a amazing natural setup but he buy enough to make the gecko happy

Skylar Mulligan under the tank itself and then the probe for the thermostat under the substrate!

Get a heating rock

James Santana no don’t those are dangerous for them.

James Santana they can give them burns

James Santana the leopard gecko is going to burn

GanksDankly The lamp on the leopard gecko enclosure is an Exo Terra compact top, and then it’s just what size you will need🙂

@@alexwalther2225 thank you!!!

You talking about the lizard or the guy

I would say 1-2 times a week or you can spot clean. Since geckos poop in once spot you can just take away that spot and replace it with more eco earth hope this helps!

Maybe off Amazon if you don’t have pet stores that have reptile things near you

Home Depot!

I personally use Scott's Organic Top soil, but theres alot of bad and good options for substrate. Good options: Reptisoil Scotts Organic Top Soil Tile Paper towels Earthmix Arid (Only available in the UK) Bad options: Eco Earth. Very dusty, can cause joint issues and possible impaction. Any coconut fiber substrate. Impaction is a huge risk with coco fibers. Sand. Causes impaction and joint issues. Reptile Carpet. Carries alot of bacteria and rips out teeth and claws. Grinded up nut shells. Causes joint issues and impaction. Also, I'd like to mention if you are planning to make a setup like the one in the video, add more foliage. Leos need lots of foliage! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me! My Tiktok is @apollo.the.leopardgecko and my dms are open! If you dont use Tiktok, feel free to comment on my youtube community page. Also, for care tips and tricks the app Amino is amazing! You can join communities and there is one all about leopard geckos, it's called Leopard Geckos.

@@avamk5696 hi, thank you for the helpful tips! I own snakes so this will be my first gecko/lizard and I am super exicited so glad that you emphasize the importance of research!

@@lukesoren7688 No problem! :)

Leopard geckos stay away from "sand" in wild so stay away from sand. But you could with special sand. Not recommended tho

I agree. Eco earth has a small chance but not as much as sand. If you wanna really play it safe I would use paper towels they are cheap and risk free but they don’t looks as nice

It shouldn’t effect him. I keep my crested gecko which is also nocturnal in my room with my light on during the day.

honestly it might get scared because of all the commotion in the kitchen

Just so you know, Leo’s are not nocturnal. They are crepuscular, meaning they are active at dawn and dusk.

Nope. Carpet harbours bacteria and tends to get caught on their teeth and claws. Digging/burrowing enrichment is important. A suitable loose substrate such as a soil/playsand mix is best.

Didn't know that. Thank!

Loose substrate is fine. Like he said, even if he ingests a little bit of it, it will pass through. Sand is a no go for sure. They live in a rocky desert with soil in the wild.

A year is when they're about adult size, babies are only harder because you have to teach them to trust people, and they eat more often. Also you need to be careful with vitamins

My baby I just got isn’t hard to take care of, he just eats a lot and doesn’t want to be handled

I recommend 2 years old, its not too young or too old! I have a one year old gecko, and its Awsome but it's also really hard to gain his trust, but I'm patient! :)

Hey thanks for watching! Racks are from Home Depot, I believe the size is 72x36x24. Should cost about $80

@@jordanharris6484 Thanks!

Not sure about reptile tanks but for fish it is for 2 main reasons. First, since windows can be drafty, the temp in your tank will be hard to maintain. Second, because direct exposure to sunlight will cause massive alge blooms in your water.

You don’t need to, but it’s beneficial😎

That’s outdated information and incorrect. They don’t need belly heat, they just need heat in general. Besides, belly heat can easily be provided with a heat lamp by using slate or another heat conducting material as the basking spot. 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 IRA and IRB 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.

@@nightinggale6470 Geckos still need UVA and UVB but heat mats help regulate cage temperature where as using bulbs as the only source is more difficult and can easily over heat your gecko where it's more difficult to get away from the heat with an improper set up. Not sure where this 'out dated' nonsense came from.

@@chelceeb.5239 using only a heat lamp really isn’t that difficult. When properly setup, a heat lamp will not overheat the gecko. Heat mats are completely unnecessary.

They don’t actually need a heat light they prefer a heat mat bc they take in heat from their bellies. You should still use a light bc they need to simulate a day/night cycle since they are nocturnal. I just use an LED that I got for sale at Home Depot. It lights up the tank nicely without the added heat

Well you would have to leave them with someone cause they need food and just to look after them with their lights unless you have a light on a timer

Cosmic Cuby no it’s not similar is kind of like it exact is everything little thing is the same

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.

it is eco earth coconut fiber, I think it's the best option for leopard gecko's substrate

im not an expert and i havent gotten my first leopard gecko yet but from the videos i'v seen, I believe you put it in the middle to not dry it out.

Partially over the heat mat.

yes

I would reccomend a local pet store, i got mine from petsmart which at the time i didnt know much about the pet trade industry. But if you can get one from a breeder who is reputable.

you can buy a 10 gallon tank for 15 bucks at walmart

More like $20

@@bako_fisher6813 take advantage of petco's $1/gallon sales! i think it's going on right now. ive gotten two tanks that way

I bought mine for $8 at petco lmao.

Sammy Sweet ummmm I think she is talking about the lid

No, they need a completely different setup.

Thanks so much for that!! I was about to spend 175 on a 20 gal.

Do you know how many watts were on the heat mat?

I use the exo terro "poop" scoope, works pretty well especially since leos usually pick one Spot of the enclosure as their toilet =)

Did you not even listen to the video

which do you recommend??

@@ganggang5525 If you have a UVB light use Zoo Med's calcium without D3, use Zoo Med's calcium with D3 if you don't have UVB light. For vitamin powder, I recommend Herptivite Multivitamin.

@@youzelin1199 can you use a monitored heating mat with light watt bulb? or can i just use a mat with the vitamins and the d3 powder

You can just use the mat since leo geckos don’t need UVB but it’s beneficial hope this helps😄

I’m not sure what they’re using in the video. But a halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial heat source, and an Arcadia tube UVB bulb is beneficial.

younmi kim hi! From my understanding you don’t need uvb for a leopard gecko. As long as you give them the right supplements, vitamins and calcium you are okay!

Ok so room light is ok right?

Uvb is recommended but not necessary. They don’t really give of a lot of heat. The bulb needs to be 3%-5% uvb. Also if you have a albino leopard gecko I wouldn’t recommend a uvb bulb because their skin and eyes are way more sensitive.

Under the tank

Make sure it is thoroughly cleaned out and there’s no cracks that could cut the animal.

@@jordanharris6484 Great, Thanks for the quick reply!

I just got a baby, and I bought a 20 gallon because I didn’t want to buy a second tank in 6 months. It just depends on preference, but it just made mor sense for me to get a 20.

Addie I now have a 20 gallon and my baby is big happy and very healthy:) to the point I’m proud of myself lol

Keira bear yay! I’m glad you upgraded :)

No

Chris Briggs hi Chris!! Other people can chime in as well for more info but for your questions: 1. There should only be one heat mat on the “hot side” of the enclosure, the heat with gradually get cooler the further down the enclosure to the “cool side”. There should be a nice heat gradient along the tank. 2. The house does not have to be a specific temperature as long as the inside of the enclosure is heated probably. You might have to turn your heat mat higher with the thermostat if your home is cold. 3. If they are a younger gecko you will be giving them more vitamins and supplements because you will be feeding them more. Juveniles should be fed every other day while adults can be fed every 3 days. I would supplement their feed twice a week with calcium and twice a week with D3.

@@jordanharris6484 Thank you!

If the room is cool, then 1 heat mat gives you a warm spot surrounded by all cold. That is the problem with glass tanks as enclosures in cool rooms. In warm rooms, no prob. Anyway, you will have to cover most of the tank top to help keep the heat in if using one heat pad in a cool room. Metal foil tape works best on top of a screen top to cover the screen and reduce evaporation and heat loss. Leopard geckos spend 99% of their time underground in the wild. Mimic that in the cage by covering the screen top. Again, in a warm room it does not matter as much. I have to use an oil-filled heater in winter near my rack system to help keep temps in a better range. I think a large plastic tub is a better enclosure than glass. I keep mine in 70 quart tubs.- approx 17 in wide by 32 in long by 5 1/2 inch tall. LGs love that setup.

For vitamins you should have 2/3 calcium powder without d3 in a dish mixed with 1/3 herptivite. It's a multivitamin that has more than just d3. Also too much d3 can make it so they can't absorb calcium so that's why you should get calcium without it. Leopard geckos are great because they actually know when they need calcium, so many keepers just put a sanded bottle cap or lil dish with the powders in the tank with them. Also before using eco-earth as a substrate measure the humidity in your house. Since eco-earth retains moisture it can actually make your tank too humid for your gecko. I personally like reptile carpet since I live in SC (which is very humid). Also babies and juveniles eat everyday and adults eat every other day to 3 days (depending on age, gender, how much they ate prior, size of the feeder insects, seasons, temperature, etc..)

I’m not sure how big the tank in the video is, but a 36x18x18” enclosure or bigger is ideal.

Alex Macias check if ur area has reptile expos

See if there are reputable breeders near you or if someone’s rehoming their leopard gecko. Also some rescues have them.

Also local pet stores

Congratulations

I wouldn’t ever risk it

Not true at all. Depends on the substrate and how you care for your gecko. If you’re giving them the proper minerals and vitamins then you won’t have a problem.

Yes it’s fine.

No. Relpy and ill tell you more info.

Why

And also my mom is scared of leopard geckos so....I got a turtle but thx anyways

@@youNmi_5315 what kind of turtle?

What you heard is incorrect. Leopard geckos are primarily terrestrial and need more floor space than height. They need a 20 gallon long bare minimum, and a 40 gallon or bigger is strongly recommended. That being said, they do climb, and should have climbing enrichment.
