My friend, you absolutely need more recognition for the help you provide for leopard gecko owners. I’ve had my gecko for 4 years and due to a lack of knowledge, I have not been caring for it correctly. Up until 3 months ago I was using bad substrate, the wrong lighting, a terrible feeding schedule, and no help with stuck shed. As I grew older I realised my mistakes and my leo Dexter has been on a really great recovery road and is looking better than I have ever seen him. This is largely thanks to discovering your channel, and also Snake Discovery. These two channels have enlightened me and made me realise that I am not treating him right, and opened my eyes to how unhealthy he was. Luckily there was nothing serious. He was way too skinny but luckily not to the point where it was dangerous. Thank you my friend, please keep doing this. You’ve saved my gecko and I’m sure many others ❤

Why do some people take things personal! He is clearly saying what he experienced and what he feels is the best for geckos. Nobody is forced to watch the video or change their ways. As a new gecko owner, I found this to be very helpful, so thank YOU!

I have been upset due to so called facebook groups. My gecko would be dead by now if i wasnt doing things right. Said everything i have is wrong for him/her still a baby. Was tokd the vivarium is wrong, substrate, lighting. Friend has exactly the same setup and her gecko is thriving

Personally I think reptile carpet is absolutely disgusting.

I use a reptile mat. It’s great for cleaning, no risk of snagging teeth/claws, or impaction.

I'm preparing to get a leapord gecko soon. And I can't decide on a good substrate. I see lots of reviews and they all say different things abt the best one. So I'm genuinely so lost 😞

I have a snow blizzard gecko. I've used reptile carpet for about 10 years with him so far. I tend to like it the best. I think all the substrates have risks in a Captive environment especially thd loose ones with digestion and impaction.
