Setting Up A NEW Leopard Gecko Enclosure! | Upgrade For Pepper!

A few weeks ago I posted a leopard gecko supply haul video where I showed you the products I received in order to give my leopard gecko Pepper, an awesome enclosure upgrade. Pepper is my 11 year old rescue leopard gecko who has a neurological condition. Due to her health, peppers care is a bit different from my other geckos, but I made it my mission to still setup an awesome enriching enclosure for her to live in!

Thank you to Exo Terra for sending these products, and sponsoring this video.

I was stalking your channel and ended up being early LMAO

[AIACH]

Love when I see other people use large vivariums for geckos ❤️ looks great 👍🏼

[sillyhead]

Holy shit!!! Never thought about using a shelf liner for the bottom of an enclosure. That's so smart.

Do you notice them out more during the day using overhead heat instead of the heat mat?

[oonam.]

Yay! The tank looks awesome! I have a leo myself, named Gilbert, and I recently got a bunch of new decor for him including a hammock! Pepper is adorable btw!

Shes sooo adorableee! I love the new setup! Some good inspo for mines future upgrades

I just bought a glass, front opener (different brand) that had a foam background. It looked great! Then I put my little girl in there and the first night she was in I caught her 3/4 up the foam rock wall!!! So I carefully scooped her up, moved stuff out of the way, and took the background out (breaking it in the process, doh!). I really liked the way it looked but I can not allow her to climb up 16 or so inches and possibly fall. I spent a few bucks at a craft store and bought some thin foam sheets and cut them to size and duct taped them to the outside of the walls and back so she won’t get too freaked out by the open space and invisible walls. RIP foam background....

I was just wondering what you used in the dig/dirt box? I am looking to make on too but i’m not sure what all you mixed in there

[mattholton]

What do you use for lighting and UVB? Does it stay warm enough? Also where do you keep your thermometer and humidity meter? Sorry for all of the questions, I just really like this set up!!

[azalea._ox]

What mix of substrate did you use for her digging area? I’ve been trying to find a good one, but most I find have bad reviews.

[JRAD]

What is the stuff you used for substrate made from? I always wanted to use reptile carpet with leos since it's so easy but I don't like the fabric and the potential for them to get their toes stuck. Is this stuff smooth? Thanks :)

[heylinmurillo]

I was thinking about getting this exact cage and I really like it so I’m going to upgrade my leopard gecko soon 😊

[scottlee]

Will it be warm enough in her warm hide? Is it okay to have the heat lamp so far away from the warm hide where they will be spending most of their time??

[chloeanncaudill]

I love this enclosure!!! Definitely have many decor and layout ideas for my leopard geckos!!! ❤️🦎

[sarahwalton]

Just watched this vid the setup looks great but the one thing that confuses me is leopard geckos use belly heat to digest and don’t need uvb so why did u decide to use a heat bulb n uvb when all is needed is a heat Matt/ heat pad?

[scarlettm]

I just got a new leopard gecko, and then I saw that you just posted this! I love the new enclosure, it looks amazing!

[movedchanneltosapphire-ske]

My gecko is called Steve and he is a little angel who sometimes tends to be vocal, he just got hiss. New tank today and it is very large. I’m exited to spoil him with slate and rocks and branches. Would you recommend anything for a Leopard gecko that enjoys climbing?

[avaminnix]

my leo has the same tank! (also where did you get the bottom substrate that you used?)

[kk]

This was really helpful on giving me ideas for my future upgrade for my gecko :)

[reptile_road]

As a naturalistic crested gecko keeper this makes me want to curl up and scream😂
