what's your favorite thing about leopard geckos? I like how they stick out their tongues lol 😛

[Puddle_OnClaws]

Keep in mind I’m not very sure about this* leopard geckos aren’t only active at dawn and dusk, they can be active whenever and they effectively choose when to be awake. That’s why some people say they are nocturnal and some don’t etc (again I’m not very sure)

I am loving the intros and goof gaffing around! Super cool to learn about a species I know nothing about :P

I have only had my leopard gecko for a month. I am learning a lot like food, enrichment, nutrition, lighting but mine constantly wants me to hold her. She comes right out of the tank on my hand.

Like your shirt 🌻 I’m planning on getting a leopard gecko and this helps a lot.

*I just want to say, sometimes they make two noises:*
1) “sneezing” (?)
- if you find that your leopard gecko has an RI (Respiratory Infection) or has accidentally eaten some substrate/reptile carpet, he/she may sneeze.

2) Sometimes, not always, but sometimes juvenile leopard geckos will scream when threatened.

I love your tank build I can tell it’s a exo terra what one is it because I think all my leopard geckos would love a tank like that. I just took in my 15th leopard gecko she’s a Murphy patternless like yours she was found in the wild so sadly someone just released her but someone found her and reached out to me.

Is there a certain size tank for leopard geckos? I have a 12 inch tank wold that be big enough?

[amydraper]

Uuummm, mine chirps and squeaks, he hates going back in his enclosure. And he's super lovie. Loves coming nose to nose with me. ❤❤❤

[carolcampbell]

Hi Sweetie, I've had a red haired slider for 19 years and recently switched him to a bigger tank and noticed him shedding like crazy and it's been going on for about a month now is there something wrong with him? He is acting normal and his eyes are nice and bright otherwise. Please help 🙏???

[lillykyates]

Hi I'm just wondering do you have all your animals under a bunk bed ?? If so how did you do that since I want a bunk bed with animal enclosures underneath

[haileestudios]

Aww your leopard gecko looks like the morph my adolescent one is going to be! It's an albino mack snow leucistic :D

[jobvandelaar]

What would you guys suggest: crested gecko or leopard gecko?

I live in a village, so it is a bit harder to get feeder insects. Also the weather outside is often with pretty high humidity (70%). Furthermore I am a student and I prefer an animal that is low maintenance what costs not a lot in long term.

What a seek in a reptile is that they tolerate handling, are not nocturnal, prefer bioactive enclosure, don’t poop on me lol and that they kinda bond with you (not like a dog, but more like a hamster: they know who u are but do not prefer to get attention often)

[dvalentinph]

Good to see Kuzon again in your video :)

[craigsmart]

One of the cons for me is getting stuck shed off their toes because it always seems to happen and it's a pain to remove.
