This video just gets me excited for when I get my leopard gecko! I'm going to start them off in a 10 gallon while I let my bioactive 40 gallon establish for a few weeks or so! I know 40 is a bit big for a baby but I'm going to fill it and make it comfortable with slate, driftwood, cork, and hides! The tricky but fun part has been gathering and researching all of the supplies; but I feel like it will be worth it!

It’s been cool seeing my new baby kinda growing with Maui. He’s now 6 months, growing amazingly and so healthy. Your videos have been amazing because I’ve never had a leo from a tiny baby before. Thank you!

I just got my first leopard gecko 5 days ago its roughly 10 weeks old it seems to be doing pretty well its a good hunter and uses all of its hides this is my first reptile so im hoping this goes well ive been watching alot of your videos and others to gather as much information as possible thank you for having super informative videos they've been very helpful

You're the best! I've watched tons of your videos, and other channels too in order to bring Bubba home about 3 1/2 months ago. He's just now hitting 6 months old. Him and I thank you so much! I think you give the most logical, and safe information you can. You and another youtuber... I don't want to promote precisely on your channel, but she keeps a lot of rescues, and has red hair. I'll just leave it at that. Anyways, you're so amazing and sweet. Thank you for all you do! This next paycheck I'm headed over to the merch store. I need that 80's style shirt "life is better with leopard geckos".

Thanks for all the useful tips! You have some beautiful geckos!

This video is awesome I have 10 leo eggs ready to hatch any-day and this vid has confirmed a lot of knowledge.

I’m getting a baby gecko towards mid to end summer this year and this was the perfect video for some early research

Great video, as always ☺️ xx

Right on time for my lunch break! ♡

Tysm for the tips! Just got my first reptile/gecko today

I love your videos, they're incredibly informational and great to watch, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

I love your channel so much

awesome!

Your lil baby is so cute. I just got an inferno albino. He’s so cute.

Omg I have the exact same gecko as you and I got mine in September, the shop I purchased him from claimed he was around 3 months old at the time of purchase, making him 10 months old now, but he’s huge so I’m unsure 😅 our geckos are literally twins, I love your videos they’re so helpful

When I got my gecko (Indiana) he was sold to me as a wild type. I'm starting to think that he's not because he is a very bright yellow colour with black spots. I am very pleased with how he turned out and its great to see him change with every shed. He's also the same age as maui!

Seeing Maui grow has been so fun and sweet! Reminds me of seeing my crestie grow 🥲

you are an awesome gecko keeper

i love your videos

I've found early morning like between 5-7am and 7-9pm are good times to feed mine. I live in state of Maryland in the United States

Maui has grown so much. He is huge

My first is an Adult Male :) I've had Texas Spineys, Curly Tails, Anoles, Native Skinks before.

Your baby looks just like mine!

I got my first gecko as a baby baby 1 week old his name is Godzilla and I’ve had him for 4 years now going strong 💪

Great vid!!!! I have three Leo's, I have named two of them Sarah and Ziggy (after your gecko) any name suggestions for the third????

I have owned like six reptiles before and I just got a leopard gecko named Alfredo

I use a DP projector and UVB and heat mat for my Leo because his tank is in the basement and it’s cold down there so I just wanna make sure he has enough heat as possible and pretty soon I’m giving him a open front door tank it’s gonna be a 24 x 16 x 16! And for substrate I’m gonna be using the bio dude bioactive substrate!

if you can the best way to find really good insects other than ones you can purchase, try starting a compost pile that is loosely covered. I found that the soldier fly in its maggot form is an amazing food for all my reptiles that eat insects. These maggots can be as large as an inch and they are dark charcoal in color. they can be as fat as a wax worm. also, i found that I can find them everywhere in my back yard as long as the grown is slightly moist and is covered by leaves . they are easy to find in the compost. You do need to dig around in it. they are not like other fly maggots. I have noticed that they stay in the maggot form for a very long time. this may be due to the cool and colder weather. To me they are more like a caterpillar with no legs and a not so cute face. My lizards LOVE THEM! Nothing I have ever fed them has gotten them so excited. But for my Leopard Gecko he does love them but his all time favorite food is the June Bug larva those are more difficult to come by but well worth it . for those I just lift up heavy objects that are in my backyard and usually I will find those right on the surface of the dirt. Other ways to find them is digging in the ground that has moist dirt. a good way to insure that you will have those conditions is to cover the ground with something. a board .. some plastic... a flat rock ... a large pot... anything that helps the ground stay moist. they can be hard to find and take some work, but i have never seen my gecko more happy when i bring those to him. but back to the fly maggots... you can find them also if you just dig a bit just an inch or two in the dirt that doesn't get a lot of sunshine . They are easy to keep as well, I like to gather them up in the hundreds and keep them in a container that i have filled with the soil that I produced in my compost pile area. I rinse them off with warm water a few times before I feed them to my lizards to remove the dirt as well as it makes them very active. Out of all the insects that one can buy those maggots are my Vailed Chameleons favorite food ever! He gets so excited about them that he almost gets inside the bowl while eating them. All other foods he looks at for a LONG TIME then stretches out his tongue a long distance away. but for those he practically fly's across his habitat grabs the side of the bowl and chows down one after another until there is nothing left. I put some earth worms in there yesterday with them just to see if he would ever like to eat them . he ate everything but those worms. even tho the worms were active. in my iguanas habitat i put my giant meal worms that became beetles and a few roaches that came from a far off land, I cant remember what kind they are, but you can buy them at the pet store . Those roaches have been living in there for two years. one of them I crushed, not purposefully. but a week later I found him and he was as good as new. the meal worms beetles have made lots of babies.. all these guys are living off of what ever my iguana doesn't eat. and a few times I saw her eat some meal worms! So if I can not find food in my back yard I just go to her place and find what I need. also my L. Gecko habitat has a dirt floor . the bottom layer is clay mixed with regular dirt then soil /dirt... then some dry leaves and some small shells spread out here and there. I also put some greens in there from time to time and fill those shells with water. sometimes I allow bird seeds to grow up. Besides his water dish and his hot rock and his cave he also has a habitat that is self sustaining life.. this life is feeder crickets. I have noticed a year ago that what he didnt eat started reproducing! so, his habitat feeds him! at first I had some issues with his shedding. he sure had a very difficult time getting rid of his shed around his fingers and toes.. No matter how long I soaked his little feet I couldnt get it off. He lost fingers and toes... but , they all came back ! and after that happened he didnt have those problems anymore. he is such a sweet little fella... they all are I have crested gecko too. just two, male and female. the best thing I ever did for my geckos is making their home more like outside. Those sea shells i put in there are for the insects. they hold water in them so when they get thirsty I dont have to worry about them drowning in a water dish and oddly enough their habitats are always clean. it is like the soil and the insects keep everything nice and tidy. before i chose to use soil their habitats were always covered in poop. now when you look in it smells clean and looks clean. I guess the insects keep it that way and the soil and the growing lights and the other lamps all play a part. really the only thing I need to do is refresh the water. Even the left over greens and fruit that my iguana doesnt eat gets cleaned up by the insects and replenishes the soil I have found that using soil has been the best idea I have ever had when it comes to my lizards. its been a game changer for sure. I tried all the products from the stores and when using them they just didnt make since. nothing ever seemed right. there was always something I didnt like with each one. and the work that had to go into keeping everything clean was annoying. SOIL IS THE WAY TO GO ... TRY IT try making their homes more like outside.

My little baby boi is almost grown! He is a crimson conure, his parents are my profile pic

Hey! Does a 10 gall sound ok for a baby? (Currently saving for its future 25 gallon long front opening tank)

Should I leave the light on at night

Do you recommend repashy calcium plus for lepored geckos? Please reply

I have a baby leopard gecko I’d say they are about 2 or 3 months maybe however they won’t let me touch them at all without getting scared and they run away as soon as anyone goes near them and I’m not sure what to do. Also they sometimes have their eyes closed when they’re not sleeping or winks at me a lot is that normal or something i should be concerned about?

Although I've narrowed down that the DHP is the best source of heating for leopard geckos, it seems extremely daunting as someone who's never owned a reptile. I've been thinking if using the habistat heat mat would be okay to use for the first few months of the geckos life while I continue learning from experience instead of from research. But my hesitation to use the DHP makes me wonder if I'm even ready for a leopard gecko. I do plan on getting a baby/juvenile, I've handled all sorts of small reptiles and every other aspect of owning this reptile with good husbandry seems very clear to me, except using the DHP alongside UVB (in which I will be using) :)) any advice would be appreciated

I have a baby gecko, around 4 months old and she still doesn't like to be handled by me....I'm so frustrated, I'm not rushing her but she keeps walking over my hand or avoiding it....what could help getting her liking being handled?

Can I keep my baby leopardy gecko in a large see-through tub

My leopard gecko isn’t growing, he has been fed, well nourished, and kept moist every day, and he is 3 years old and the size of a baby

what morph is Maui? Mine looks very similar to him

Why does his one eye lid not open right away?how can i help him?

how long is maui in inches?

Maui sure is cute 👍❤🦎😁

Hey I just got a juvenile leopard gecko and I’m nervous as I have many questions, is there a way I could reach out to you or anyone who could may be help answer some of my questions? 🥺

Hi there, I know this is unrelated, but I am planning on getting a baby crested gecko, and I was wondering about a couple things. When I was watching care guides for baby crested geckos I did not notice any clear sources of heating or lighting. Since I am going to put baby crested gecko in a smaller enclosure how would I provide heating and lighting?(btw anyone can answer this)

I need help coming up with a name for my crestie. I got her as a baby and she was missing her front right foot. She just had a stump at the "ankle". The breeder who gave her to me said that their 4 year old caught her foot in the lid when she was putting it on. At the time we didn't know if it was a he or she so we just started calling her Stumpy. Now that I am sure of her gender I'd like a little more feminine name for her other than Stumpy. The other one I got from a different breeder on the same day is like a sand color so we called her Sandy. She ended up being female as well. The male I just got a few weeks ago I named Iggy. So what suggestions can I get for my footless females name?

awesome vid. would you over get an african fat tailed gecko

Is a deep heat projector the same as a ceramic heat emitter ? I can't find a deep heat projector at the pet shops in us

Can you feed them meal worms instead crickets?

My leopard gecko is shedding right now but it’s like flaky and not a peel like I’ve seen should I be worried do I need to help her get it off?

Hey, I own a leopard gecko and have a question for anyone who knows. My gecko is a male, but his bulges (or whatever they’re called lol) are mismatched in the sense that one looks yellow and full, while the other looks deflated-ish. I’d appreciate it if someone could answer that by it’s gotten a little concerning.

Hi I noticed that you use eco earth in most of your leopard gecko tanks. Does it not make the humidity too high?

Hi my gecko is in she'd I've seen a lot of your videos you know what you're doing especially with geckos you helped me to get one so i need your help with shedding, my gecko his name is Zilla he is grey & white so I think he's shedding but i need help to know what to do.

Do I need both a heat lamp and heat mat or do I need a certain type of light an heat mat or no light at all( I would keep it in my room it is pretty light in there. Also I have a dog? Would that be a problem? Would I need to keep him out all the time or just while handling?). I REALLY want a leopard gecko and came across your channel and began researching. Do you have any advice like baby tank set up and adult tank set up or any advice on what im getting my self into? Please help!

🥰🥰

I just got my baby leopard gecko a couple days ago. I’m feeding him/her 5 baby crickets a day. I was wondering what other foods I can feed him/her? Any small live worms or grubs?

Hi Rebecca, I’m interested in buying leopard gecko but we have a weeks holiday booked in may and we have no one to take care of it! What would you suggest to do? Love your videos ❤️

Do you have any tips on providing my crickets with calcium powder (to eat)?

When I got my leopard gecko, I originally wanted a day gecko. A giant day gecko specifically. My parents didn't let me get one for 2 reasons: 1. I accidentally made it seem that day geckos were impossible to care for 2. They feared that I might accidentally kill it. They later found out that day geckos weren't impossible to care for, and my mom's main issue for not getting one was because I forgot to mention that day geckos eat produce.

have you ever used mealworm beetles as a clean up crew

If i got a leopord gecko that is 6 how could i make her live as long as possible

I've been having difficulty with my thermometer and thermometer gun :( I have a dimmer thermostat for my DHP but my thermometer probe and thermo gun read diff temps and I'm very worried and struggling to maintain my temps for my juvenile gecko :( please help with any suggestions, should I buy a new thermometer? Should I go off the thermometer gun? My probe always reads at about 82-83F but when I use my thermo gun (aiming it at the same spots where probe is) it reads a bit higher like 87-88F

Hi, I have had my leopard gecko for 3 weeks now but she will not let me touch her. The farthest I have gotten was getting her to climb on my hand when I put in her tank, what should I do to help be able to get her to let me pet her?

Where do you buy leopard geckos

Mustang. Ford.

I need advice! Please respond

Okay guys do I keep my leopard geckos heat lamp on at night I have a heating mat but idk if that will keep warm enough I’m just wondering cause you know it’s light and they like the dark so I have no clue what to do and I can’t find a straight awnser

Hey I have a new gecko who came from a very bad living space, as in they left him in sand and only fed him once a month. What would you say as advice?

When you get a baby leopard gecko and you start it off in a plastic container, is it okay if you move it to a 40 gallon? I mean, im going to feel it with lots of hides and things so it might seem a little smaller than 40 gallons. Thats what i have my adult leo in right now but will it be too big for a juvinile?

My gecko isn't growing, I feed her mealworms and wax worms and crickets and I powder them with vitamins and calcium. She has a uvb light and heat lamp and she has a 25 gallon tank. What is wrong with my gecko?? She's 2 years old and is quite bit smaller than Maui.

My gecko is 1and a half and like half the size of mawy lol

I like Leopard Geckos more and more by the second, but the more I research, the more I realize it won't work for me, especially when it comes to feeding, since I don't think I will be able to keep insects and worms in the house. However, for all those who can, enjoy your awesome Leopard Geckos! ☺️

It'd be awesome to use gene therapy to give gecko's the genes that allow a cockatoo to talk (or even the fox-p2 gene from humans), and after many generations of selective breeding, they might even develop a Brittish accent.

Why is his tail so BIG ? Does this show any symptoms ?

Still dying to get a leopard gecko, but I live on a road full of idiots who can't drive and knock the power out atleast twice a week and I'd hate for that to happen in the winter while I'm at work.

I have two leopard geckos, my girl was easy to tame and loves being handled. However, my boy goes crazy, he is really fast and can even jump! I wish he was easier to bond with, Im really trying. Posting because I know people here will understand.

Why are your crickets so slow and sleepy? My crickets quickly run for cover and hide in any crack they can find...
