New Leopard Gecko Setup // DIY Hide

Good Morning, Reptilians! This week's video was mostly done by HUSBAND! Yay! :) Ha. He felt like Winter, the leopard gecko, deserved more climbing and exploring room... so he built that! Winter also got a new background, which I am in love with. Enjoy this DIY hide and leopard gecko setup. :)

P.S. you could call it a "Tank-over" lol

[WitchersCreatures]

It's good to see Mr.Husband in a video and building stuff for his reptile kids

[chloe_batty]

I love that you make your own enclosure hides and stuff! Buying a decoration like that in a store would cost so much! Your pets are super lucky!

[witchypoo]

I made it! I did have to make it bigger for a 40 gallon terrarium, but it's amazing. Thank you for the inspiration. I did add another hide for a total of 4. I'm still in the process of grouting and sealing but again, thank you!

[bonnybethan]

Love this hide. You should sell them. have not seen anything like it.❤

[loispadgett]

Loved watching and what to do that for some of my enclosures. Thank You so much for the build.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who started to grout then switched to my hands…. My reason was because the stuff wouldn’t stick to the corners…. Then I painted…. Didn’t like it and repainted multiple times in certain places. Also I bought one sealer and THEN bought shellac hahaha this is NOT cheaper then just buying a custom one on Etsy however….. my son needed his perfect hide so I had no choice.

[nataliesreptiles]

That is AWESOME!! I need to get crafty and do something like that for my leo.

[jaqhass]

Having them stacked is why toothpicks and two builds. One for testing and one for using. Sounds like unnesecary work tho whenever two builds are used the final build almost always comes out with extreme precision.

[donae]

I absolutely love this!!! Have you ever considered making these and selling them? Put my order in now lol

[candysweets]

This is very useful and very creative! I’m about to get a leopard gecko in 3 months so I’m going to subscribe and learn more from your channel! Great work!

[asmrsleep]

I absolutely love it. I would have never thought of this

[ravenfrancis]

One question with the Heating pad and the Tile does it affect the adhesive on the tile or it’s not hot enough to do much to the adhesive

[LilyAvarA]

I’m following this tutorial and I don’t have a heated metal thing so I made a huge mess. If you break your vacuum cleaning it up like I did, a lint roller works wonders!

[kgga]

You two are very cute! Also your gecko is super cute too? I just T^T love wholesome couples

[mandi]

Love ur videos but really loving this 1!! I have 4 beardies n I've decided to make my own waterfall n hides with Styrofoam n came across this vid. I'm thankful u put this up coz we were having a hard time figuring out what was the safest material to use. U guys are lifesavers n my babies will thank u for it as well! Great work n look forward to seeing more videos like this one n all ur others!!!!

[emberpawthefox]

I watched this because I wanted to make something like this for my Leopard gecko, the only thing I can’t do is make any sort of high overhang, because my gecko sometimes will jump off of things that are too high up. But this is cool and I want to give it a try!

[mickiem]

Could you tint and use Dry Lock instead of grout? I use it for some of my backgrounds and really like using it. I love the look of your layers. I will definitely try that!

[rochellejackson]

Really enjoyed the video. Since you use tile, where is a good place for the the thermometer and under tank heating pad?

[cavinbardi]

Absolutely Amazing! Thanks for the DIY help, I just might do something similar one day, when we get a pet. I really love your videos/content & even enjoy your husbands participation, he seems pretty awesome!!! Keep up the fantastic work! See you next week. ❤😎👍
