Wow, you covered everything. Thank you for the video! I am considering adopting one; this would be my first lizard.

Leopard geckos are actually excellent climbers. Give them the opportunity and they will. Anything textured is perfect for them. Dispute leopard geckos being labeled as Insectivors, they are opportunistic predators in the wild. I feed mine a pinky once every month and he goes crazy for them.

Hi, I'm a little new to owning my leopard gecko. I'm down in Florida and with hurricane season coming, I want to make sure I'm prepared. I have a decent travel tank picked out, substrate, all that. Is there a heating pad that's safe for those travel tank plastics? I doubt a lamp would work. Last year we spent 4 days in West Palm, so I need to make sure she's happy for a few days to a week

They are cute here is something to know about them is that you don’t want them to bite you because they are venomous and can make you feel lightheaded but they are pretty docile/chill ❤ and not so hard to take care of .

Hi i was wondering I have a leopard gecko she about 4/5 months old right now i hear alot of people say you should give them different insects and you should vary different insect and I mostly feed crickets right now and sometimes a mealworm but I hear people from reptile stores say when I buy my mealworms that you should only feed mealworms as snack and its mostly like a MacDonald's for them and you should only feet crickets as meal does anyone have any tips on what I should use to feed her as meal any other tips I should definitely know would also be appreciate I have done alot of resurge before getting her but because she's my first ever reptile I am very scared I'll do something wrong because I really love reptiles and I wanna do my best I had her on sand bedding for around 3 days but seeing her poop look almost identical to sand and I immediately got all the sand out and her poop doesn't contain anymore sand now so any tips on substrate would also be very appreciated I'm mostly very scared I'll do something wrong so any tips would be appreciated but I'm mostly looking for tips on meals to feet besides crickets (I also noticed she has a pretty hard time actually catching the crickets and they escape meaning she doesn't always eat all of them are there any tips to make it easier for her to catch them of why she may have such a hard time catching them) and tips for substrate please 🙏 give me some tips because I'm a new reptile keeper and im very scared ill do something wrong even do I did alot of resurge so please give me some tips and things I should absolutely not do it would be appreciated thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Sorry but not Southeast Asia. That would mean Thailand etc. They are from Iran Afghanistan area. My Leo loves when I take him out of his tank and roam around a room when I am reading or watching vids. Thanks for the vid.

I’m debating between getting a crested gecko or leopard gecko, when it comes to feeding leopard geckos is it hard I’m a bit squrmish when it comes to bugs and them getting out and in my room. I’m sure you get more comfortable and used to it but idk I am more appealed to leopard geckos as they are not fully nocturnal and don’t climb

I have a 10+ year old leopard gecko that has lived in a 20 gallon long tank with a UTH for his entire adult life. He had been completely healthy and thriving up to this day. Do you have reputable and scientific research that shows that I would need a larger enclosure and overhead lighting to all of a sudden give him a better life? Thanks!

[gigithree]

This confusing cause I just watched 2 other videos that say use the heat mat & not a over head lamp🤦🏾‍♀️

[syzoth_thegreat]

For everyone listening to this chick you don’t need UVB lighting as long as you leave D3 supplements and dust you’re insects in it you should be fine UVB just provides extra benefits for their bones 💯🤳🏽it’s an optional thing how ever lights is def a must

[avaogara]

I only have acrestie...but I love scooter n all geckos
