Thanks for this information, I have kept my leopard geckos together as well, and they have done very well. They are females they have 5 hides above and 2 underground hides in a 4×2×2. They spend time together and apart. I never have had an issue. They climb the logs and dig in the substrate. If they are happy, so am I. Thanks for the video. Your enclosure is lovely 😍

How often is “once every now and again “

So I never had a problem. And now I have a monstrously huge female leopard gecko living alone. She grew up with another female gecko, but that gecko was already 10/when I introduced her as a juvenile into the terraruim. Well the elderly gecko.passed on. I thought. Fine time to get her a new tank mate ( it's a 55 gal.tall.I have personally designed, so plenty of room, lots of hiding plaves, etc) Well she in all honesty tried to murder VIOLENTLY the geckos I tried to home with her. So. She lives alone. While the 2 full grown adult geckos I got for free...live together continually fine in the tank I also got for free. I have just put in far more gecko appropriate items as the previous owner had nothing but a water dish and a rock in there. So I'm up to 3. None look the same because they are obviously different colour attributions that breeders try to attain. The huge lady is a fancy, she is brightly colored, deep green, with dark spots. The small girl is the traditional look everyone knows and loves, And the male is a lemon gecko (I think that's what they call it) When the body is yellow and black spot but the tail is pure yellow. The 2 are recovering from the beating they took ...It may take 2 -3 sheds to.completely heal where they were hurt. So yah. Live and learn.

Hey I've just brought one of these to use with my heat lamp. I can't figure out how the overheating works it just keeps beeping at me and I'm worried because my power level always seems to say 0%

I felt so bad with my baby corn snake, when I first got him and was handling him to get used to me he was simply so terrified. I hated it. When I tell you that man was not only fast, but could legit jump, without coiling his body up like a spring, this man could jump. Such sporadic behavior, made me believe I was doing everything wrong with my first snake. When in reality, it just took time. He grew out of it now he is a very docile, sociable adult. I love him so much. Now that I look back, I call it their scared attitude phase, “ I’m just a little noodle PLEASE” so cute!!

Well the big branches

Where did you buy the branches from

I love it, I usually use decking but I prefer this, Thanks

💚

Yes they can, Check out Dave Sharpe

Thank you so much my plants are starting to drown so I needed a way to save them.

Does this “pretty much the same air temperature everywhere throughout the enclosure” include directly under or few inches below the basking lamp itself??? I’m trying to make sure that it’s not too high of an air temperature right under the basking lamps themselves and the readings are higher than what’s safe (95 degrees f in this case) but all my basking surface and air are good and the rest of the enclosure air temperatures are good. My snake will be able to access the area directly under the lamps while she is basking, so I’m just trying to make sure that it’s safe even though the readings are over the allowed 95°f… it’s be safe since the rest of the air at the top/ceiling level of the cool side in shade is reading below that… this is the actual number I need to trust and refer to?

Great video ❤

I bought my first pet snake today. Thank you for this comprehensive and exceedingly articulate video, young man!

Where can i buy collared lizard

You shouldn't pour any water in the top of a dragons head, only the mouth or body.

i know this is a old video but do i how often do i feed it insects also what kind if fruits can i feed it

I have a max snow set my little cousin at 6 named sparkles. And they have another one that I mean Chippy chocolate. Then I think he's a high yellow but the highland yellow doesn't look like him, so maybe he's something else

Will that real cork/bark as a background on long term always get humid/water.. get molds?

Excellent video! Glad to see someone making a great looking background without foam. And it looks even better IMO!

Invasive species probably (going off of what I'm seeing) like wall lizards that thrive. I want to have outdoor enclosure someday but I have australian species unfortunately.

What black paint did you use for the mdf?

Time to do up a virtual terrarium simulation which people can play with to learn and try things out.

A+ guide. Thanks!

0:56 Absolutely correct, Garter snakes do way better in a group. Not to mention the entire egernia family where housing one by itself is on the verge of animal abuse

We’re do u put the water dish

They most definitely display trust or at least tolerance and familiarity. They also very much show fear. It's kinda weird to say they don't have any feelings, imho. Good vid!

That’s really nice

I wish I could buy some herptiles from these guys

I love snakes

Very interesting observations!

Found this very useful today!! Thank you!!

You are using woodlouse as a clean up crew, what happens if the dragon eats the louse? I worry because of the dragons waste being eaten by them.

Am I right in thinking that you us the Arcadia mix then used the red sand on top?

Noob: Just use a heat mat. Well-Researched: Use overhead radiant heating. Based: Use heat mat. Also halogen.

What a beautiful enclosure. I’ve seen thousands at this point I’m sure we all have.. but something about that. I’d be a happy snake in that tank 😂

I have been trying to set this for hours but have not been able to 😢

Super hypo and albino tremper line

thank you for the great information and the reassurance. i just got my first snake (a cali king x amel corn x honduran milk hybrid) and she is so scared of me. she’s 2 months old now, and i’ve only been taking her out to feed her and handle her once a week right now. she will calm down after a bit, but at first it takes forever to catch her in her substrate and as soon as i grab her out she pees on me and shakes her tail 😅

hi. I have a 150×60×60cm PVC terrarium housing my timon lepidus male. He currently have a Arcadia prot5 fixture t5 12% UVB 39w (87cm) covering roughly half of the terrarium. For heat I have the 100w ARCADIA mvb D3 bulb and a 75w halogen bulb on a dimmer. I want to brighten up the terrarium and have ordered the Arcadia jungle dawn Ledbar 51w (87cm). I am planning on mount it in front of the uvb fixture so there is a darker shaded area in the back. Is this the correct size for my terrarium or should I go with a smaler size? I also have live plants.

Saw this video and did the same in one of my corns enclosure, looks great and my snake loves winding around the upright branches.

3:50 having your product be essentially rebranded poop pellets is the silliest business model i've ever heard of working

Is the temp on it for basking spot, and if its basking spot, since the heatlamp is focused on the spot, its colder on the other side?

How are these guys doing now? Any follow up vids??

I'd watch a hundred videos like this if I could find them. I just want to see happy pet snakes doing snake stuff.

Beautiful snakes, do they make good pets?

Man I wish I would've added the whatsit BEFORE I finished everything. This is the first video I've even seen that has done this and it's genius. Gonna have to try and dig my gravel layer out and shove one in

Love what your doing and would love to help with reintroducing the population down in Somerset. How can i get hold of natterjack toads legally and bred them myself. Many thanks

Agreed. Good thermostats allow you to set outputs for a basking lamp (%), and then you moderate air temperature separately. The EVO Connect 3 is useful for this.

I've only just found your channel so please forgive this comment on an old video. When I was a boy I lived and grew up through the late 1950's, 60's and 70's in a very rural and remote part of Norfolk on the edge of an extensive marshland close to the sea, with coastal heathland and an extensive common with ancient woodland, ponds and grassland and a river which led from the Broads to the sea. There were natterjacks, viviparous lizards, slow worms, grass snakes, adders, frogs, toads and all three species of newt. From around 1980 the heathland was cleared, levelled and is now a golf resort with holiday lodges and a second holiday park stuffed with caravans. In the 60's and 70's the banks which held back the sea from the marsh were burrowed into by coypu and were poorly repaired which damaged the marsh although subsequent work restored the banks and the marsh has regenerated over the last couple of decades. I spent a lot of time going around with the coypu man trapping the bloody things. The common land is now very expensive housing which few ordinary people like shopworkers, farm labourers or me can afford. The whole area has gone really, except part of the marsh and I find it incredibly sad. I haven't seen a swallowtail butterfly for over thirty years, a slow worm for at least twenty years or an adder for about the same length of time. I still see the occasional grass snake but most of the amphibians have gone, as have the vast clouds of lapwings and other birds. I haven't seen a newt since the early 1980's. I would love to see these species re-introduced but I find myself asking where? Is there a network of linked up people and habitats prepared to accept these animals? I know that there is a move towards rewilding but where I live all the land just seems to have been swallowed up by the above mentioned developments and industrial estates on former small field farmland. I apologise for the length of this comment.
