Here’s a tip: I recommend using a custom made foam background because it’s more versatile to match your tank, but any background works and it’s mostly just aesthetic (unless your using one of those cheap and horrible backgrounds)

I also recommend the reptifogger because it works really well, but you would have to put it on a timer since it doesn’t come with one.

I recommend the Arcadia shadedweller uvb light since crested geckos do NOT need uvb, but they do much better and tend to be more happy with it.

So informative and well-explained! I love how you shared personal experiences and tips. Definitely bookmarking this video for future reference!

Amazing video. Thank you so much! Can you please do a video on their everyday care and what and how to feed them? This playlist needs more videos 😁. Love your channel! 🩷

[jamesonpenguin]

They are starting to make really nice LED lights that have full spectrum uv so you dont have to have two different lights. But I highly recommend using a uvb meter because they put out extremely high levels.

I love that background. I have the same one in my crested enclosure.

[wyguy]

Yes! I have been waiting for this video. Thank you Chief.

[JACKPOTVR]

thank you this video helped a lot im looking into getting one! supper excited

[eliora]

can you use a coil UVB for crested geckos? the reason I`m asking is you said for leopard geckos that coil UVB is okay and you are useing the same 7% you use for leopard gekos on your crested gecko.

I know this isn't the right video but i gotta tell you, i saw your short for vivarium lighting for plants. I went out got a daylight led bulb to replace the cfl uv bulb i had and goddamn, its been three days and ive already noticed the plants are growing like Crazy. Im letting it establish before i put in my crested Gecko so this is perfect. Thanks for the advice bro. I was close to getting an Arcadia forest dweller but decided to go with this option.

I eventually plan to get everything Arcadia but once i have my final set up. Once again thanks and keep up the great work

I have a couple questions about the enclosure itself
1. I see in your description you have a link to a 64 gallon tall, but I’m wondering if a 30 gallon tall (18x18x24) is ok for an adult. As I’ve been doing research and a lot of people say that is good
2. If that size is ok, I’ve seen a 30 gallon tall on Amazon that is cheaper than the rest but it has 3 solid sides where you can’t see through, is that better then a completely see through tank?

Awesome🙌 Good Job🙌 Very informative 👍💯

[mariorosas]

Dude! I used exactly what you told me to do, soil and play sand and it plugged up my beautiful bearded dragon, all she did was lick the sand.
(1 Gal of sand per 40lbs of top soil)
((expensive $$$ vet bill))

[whxisdxrius]

i just watched your video on fixing petsmarts beginner setup tank and it really made me realize i did NOT have what i needed which is unfortunate for the bearded dragon i did have it would be nice if you can maybe make the same thing or give some tips on any differences for leopard geckos cause i’ve been really wanting to get one or a bearded dragon again and your video really helped and this one is very nice as well both were simple and informative i hope all your reptiles are doing good thank you for the informational videos

[AkabaneKarma]

Can you make a video on how to install heating lamps and uvb inside the enclosure and solid pvc instead of mesh for bearded dragons please

[skipity]

Is it required I get a background? My habitat doesn’t have one, and I don’t think I can get one for my habitat, since it is a screened one, but it does have a good couple hiding places, some sticks to climb on, and fake plants since I can’t really do real plants right now. My crested gecko is already chilling in the habitat anyways, so itd be hard to do anything now, but I just want to know just incase I could be doing something better

[JayRides]

Can you make a vid on how to take care of baby bearded I’m getting one pretty soon and I don’t trust petco advise things I need you to cover is calcium and what to feed them everyday and how to keep them hrydated!

[The.Anole.Keeper]

Hey! Love your channel! Could you make a natural realistic brown/green anole enclosure? (I use a 10 gallon)

[AE-]

Can I use coco fiber bricks instead of reptisoil ?

[ChrisStathas]

Can we maybe get a video on how to start an isopod colony, I’m trying to start one for my bearded dragon but I don’t really know how.
