I just adopted 2 leopard geckos from a friend and they came to my bf and I in quite a state and I want to do as much research as I can to properly care for them from now on THANKYOU!!

I honestly learned so much, all while getting to laugh and be thoroughly entertained by your content. Thanks for the great video.

I was just talking to someone about adopting their leopard gecko LOL good timing

Looks and feels like such a simple and easy setup, I love it!

I thought about possibly getting a leopard gecko or corn snake some time in the future but one of my big concerns was not knowing how to set up the right sort of enclosure for them, so this was a very great tutorial! 👍

Thank you so much man just got two 7 year old leopard geckos from a friend and they didn’t have the best living conditions so I want to make sure the rest of their lives are as comfortable as possible

Recently found out PetSmart will damage out their leopard geckos who get too big or drop their tails, and my bff works for PetSmart. Just upgraded someone from a 40 to a 170gal, so I told the bff to keep her ears open for the next damaged out leopard gecko. Thanks for this super helpful video!

I have a couple of questions!
1. How often do you change this substrate? I read online maybe every 2 months but that seems like a long time to me.
2. Do you spot clean the tank between substrate changes? Is it easy to see what needs cleaned?
3. What plants are safe to be in a bioactive tank for a leopard gecko/are there some plants that require less work than others?

Thanks for the videos, they've been super helpful! I recently was asked to take over care of a leopard gecko for someone whose circumstances won't allow them to anymore. I'm an extreme newbie and am looking for any advice!

I used to own one as a kid and she was such a sweetie pie. I want another one now as an adult so this is awesome

[kerriescher]

How often do you need to clean using this substrate and how do you clean it? Do you have to replace it all? How often? Thanks!

just got a juvenile leopard gecko, not a baby but still young. reptile store said few months but shes just about 3-4 inches long from tip to tip. Ive only ever had an adult rescue when i was a child so I dont have any experience with younglings, but im trying my darnest. I have her set up in a 25gal with three hides (and i use the same humid hide you have, just the smaller one), food and water dishes on cool side, misting every second or third day because where i live dips to about 10% and that too low. She is a very skittish baby so sometimes i feel anxious wondering if i did something/am doing something wrong, she has yet to be comfortable enough to tong/hand feed worms and she kind of stands up whenever i reach into her enclosure to do anything (feed/water/handle/etc). I got a front opening tank to prevent her getting freaked out like predator response but i just worry she wont be tame/calm as an adult....

Another great video. Perfect timing too. I was just thinking about redoing my leopard geckos.

Hi I had a Leo for 3 years now and I felt bad for keeping in a small tank and now I’m exited to upgrade

[AlexAllenKale]

Thanks I’m actually getting a leopard gecko really soon and this looks like a great setup to use

[dirtyyrat]

This video was very helpful. Thanks!!!

[rihannadowaidi]

Hey I need help about if I need a lamp stand or leave it on the top!! I have a 40 gallon. 36x18x18 no animal in the tank right now

[dashiaroberts]

do u recommend the “Zoo Med Reptile Shelter 3 in 1 Cave, Small” as a cheaper option for the zilla rock lair

[BRAWLER_BUSTER]

amazing video! definitly help. just wondering how much did it cost including the tank with everything to build this?

[JayyRich]

Your channel has been great my buddies sister moved to a different state had to leave her gecko behind my friend couldn’t provide the proper care so i ended up with it. Set up my tank almost exactly how yours only problem i’m having right now is the humidity i stay in Houston so it tends to be very humid down here. The soil i used for my substrate was very moist so i don’t know if i need to use a different kind or use less of the soil any help would be appreciated l!
