I just got a Leopard Gecko. She is young and an albino. I really want to make sure I raise her to be the happiest and healthiest I can so I appreciate this video!

I’m trying to learn all I can before I get a leopard gecko

I’ve been wanting a leopard gecko for a couple years and my mom finally let me get one for my birthday today. Thanks for making this video it has really helped me!!

[sliocachnioishin]

Discovered you through the Snake Discovery build off. Subscribed now! Love the video

[briannasullivan]

Very good info. Shako (our gecko) thanks you for the upcoming improvements to her home 🤓 You've got a bright future!

I have 4 geckos and I want to learn more so your video helped. Thank you. 🦎

[davidshaw]

I didn't know about your channel until you were in Emily's build-off but I'm subscribed now. This guide is amazing! I'm trying to decide between a leopard or a crested gecko as my first reptile, so I'm watching as many guides as I can to weigh up the pros and cons. This video was so helpful and you really deserve more subscribers. Hopefully you'll get more traffic with the publicity from the competition.

I’ve only had dogs, cats and fish… but have been thinking about getting a leopard gecko. Need to get my husband on board though. Your editing and confidence is constantly getting better! Keep it up!

[gracieshepardtothemax]

Checked out your merch. Will you ship to Canada eventually?

[EmmysPets]

Your editing has improved so much ahhhh ❤️❤️❤️

[Idkitsadeletedchannel]

This video was so helpful! I’m usually not even able to stay engaged in a 20 minute video, but this video was very well edited!
I’m hoping to get a leopard gecko next spring. (so I have plenty of time to save up money for it)
Would you recommend getting a baby gecko or a subadult/adult?

[thechickenwizard]

This is one of the best presented care guides I've seen in a long time! I loved how much thought and detail went into it, well done! I'm not looking to get a leopard gecko soon, but rather, I have been looking to keep western banded geckos, wich apparently require similar (but not exact) care to leos. This video contained a pot of helpful information, especially in the feeding and lighting sections. Thanks for making this guide!

[cakeeeetime]

This is such an amazing care guide!

And thank you for the written care guide!

[MsLizzy]

Great video. For lighting do you need to plug it into a thermostat? I have the biggest tank that you mentioned. I am getting a leopard gecko soon and the big one is his or her forever home. Thanks

[meaningfulmemes]

I’m getting a leopard gecko in a few months

[eyxq]
