I’ve been wanting a leopard gecko for probably 15 years at this point; I’m planning to finally take the plunge once I feel confident in husbandry so these videos really help!

This came out at the perfect time. I was having a really hard time finding a perfect list of supplies and different options available. I hope to get a leopard gecko in the near future so this will help so much :) thank you!

I'm currently fostering a malnourished leopardgecko, who was neglected in her previous home. She weighed only 19 grams and has parasites. But she is getting better. :)

Also keep in mind that if you can't afford a side/front opening tank or already have an aquarium laying around, they sell conversion kits online for around 30 or $40! You can make it front opening that way. Handling will be a lot easier.

I just recently got my first gecko. Did months of research before getting him. Unfortunately I live in a part of Canada where there aren't many breeders and I didn't wanna ship one but I found a juvenile male from a local shop and I can't wait to take care of him.

I lost my leopard gecko to old age recently (he was roughly between 17-20 years) and now due to get another gecko soon...I know a lots changed since I started with my boy and I've done lots of new research and thanks to your videos I have a bigger viv (will be upgrading to a 4ft at a later date) the deep heat projector lamp and shade dweller rather than the heat mat...and I have the dual control dimming thermostat (all top of the range) I've set my hides up a lot better now too...all thanks to your videos. Its always good to relearn things and change to new things too...so I hope to have my new baby soon

Thank you for making this so informative and comprehensive! I went to a reptile specialist shop, hoping for the same level of information and was literally handed an A5 paper with a ‘shopping list’ that didn’t explain or include some of these items. I’m a complete beginner and will be getting a fully grown adult in a few weeks, so finding the right heating has been quite overwhelming (and anxiety inducing, as I don’t want to cook or freeze her on accident). This made it much simpler! Thank you!!

Your vids keep me entertained I have wanted a leopard gecko since 3rd grade and now I am in 8th and I am getting one this Saturday thank for helping me convince my mom

[michelleandrea]

The leopard gecko at my new job is never taken care of properly by anyone so I’m watching this video so I can take better care of it myself 🥺 he’s in my classroom. So far I cleaned his tank that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in so long!

[lillianjones]

I had someone recommended me to come your channel for advice on geckos and I'm glad cause I was getting confused cause all the mixed signals

[daisyestrada]

Your videos have helped me so much! I recently got a leopard gecko and have been following all the instructions to make sure he's healthy

[Max-hlzt]

With regards to substrates I’ve recently moved my leo from tiles to Leo Life from ProRep. It looks like sand but when it drys out it begins to clump. Not only does this reduce the likelihood of impaction but it also mimics the arid natural environment of leopard geckos. Highly recommend it.

Hi love the videos! Your videos have helped me convince my mom to let me get a leopard gecko! I got him yesterday he is a tangerine carrot tailed retired breeder and his name is Hugo, he is such a sweetie, thanks so

[sporestcreature]

i absolutely love my gecko, she is currently my favorite thing right now and i just want the best for her thank you.

Originally I wanted a bearded dragon but then stumbled across a video saying to not buy bearded dragons as a beginner and I did some research and was so shocked how a bearded dragon itself can cost 1000 dollars or higher. I started looking at leopard geckos and instantly fell in love they are sooo cute and such a great animal. Also great video!!! This really helped me to know what I need!!

I can second the vote for Hello Fresh. My wife and I are pretty busy and we found ourselves eating out too much. Too much cost, too many calories, mediocre food. We tried HF on a Free Week thing (3 meals) and loved it. We like some options better than others but really have never had one we just didn't like. If one of us sets it up it takes about 45 mins from getting the food out of the fridge to serving. If both of us work on it, its 25-30 mins total. We have used it for about 6 weeks. Living in central Texas I am impressed with how well the food is chilled. The only "downside" is the goop used as the cold packs. I kept the first few and just refroze them for other uses, but eventually there's just a lot of packaging which can build up.

Great timing. I was going to get a dart frog, but changed my mind to getting a leopard gecko. Luckily I already have a setup and just need a heatmat, food, a hide, and supplements

I’m getting two girl leos on Sunday- I was going to house them together with the equipment but thanks to your videos I’ve realised they should be apart and my mum has invested nearly £300 in the proper vivarium and equipment. So excited, I’d you want to see them I’ll post when they allow me to hold them and after they’ve got used to me- not sure how long that’s going to take, but thank you so much for the advice 💚 I hope they’re happy!

Great guide set up my habitat yesterday he seems happy and is eating
