    Your enclosure looks great! One thing I swear by that could be added for additional climbing are the Magnatural ledges. They look like rock or mushrooms and attach on the inside walls with magnets. Just an additional way to use wall space.

    You're brill! Honestly I live in the UK and people confuse leopard geckos and the fat tailed too often! Probably due to thwm being as popular! Theirs barely any vids, education the fat tail, I've recently got a fat tailed gecko the exact same as yours, named spyro, male! This vid properly educated me on how to set up, etc thank you!!! X

    Do you only use a heatpad or do you use overtank heating as well? Also do you put the thermostat on top of the substrate? I know this is an old video but I hope you see this comment!

  • @julissagonzalez3985

    • @kyra4568
      @kyra4568 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      their cage is humid enough so they don’t necessarily need one. you can have one but it’s not needed.

    What heat pad do you use and how much substrate have you found you’ve been able to put over it and still have it be warm enough?

    • @EmmaLynneSampson
      @EmmaLynneSampson  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jeni I use zoomed ones, and the amount of substrate should not matter as you should always be using a thermostat to control the temperature.

  • @theprelovedpixie1255
    @theprelovedpixie1255 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    They do need a humid hide as they go in there to help with their shedding. They lay up against the live wet moss which helps them to get the shed off. Also never remove the shed as they naturally eat it.

  • @devynthecatwithsocks9010
    @devynthecatwithsocks9010 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    would you reccomend a lamp or a mat for heating?

    • @eliasc2864
      @eliasc2864 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Devynthecatwithsocks under tank heater is required. You can do a lamp as an addition but the mat is needed.
      Aft geckos like to be warmed up from their belly.

  • @nicktanner2753
    @nicktanner2753 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Okay I have a few questions because this is my first African fat tailed gecko. First off, do they like to climb because I've seen him trying to climb out of his enclosure? And secondly, is there any way to tell if the gecko is happy with it's enclosure and food?

  • @maryurquhart5325
    @maryurquhart5325 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love your videos! My tank for my fat tail has the same substrate. What’s your temperature on the thermostat for the heat pad? I don’t want it to hot but not hot enough for it to help

    • @nightinggale6470
      @nightinggale6470 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The basking spot should be about 90F, measured by a temperature gun.
      Heat mats are not a good heat source. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin.

    for leopard geckos do you use a heating pad and a heating lap, or do you use like just one of them?

    • @EmmaLynneSampson
      @EmmaLynneSampson  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      brittany showers I only use a heating pad Personally. Leopard geckos often have sensitive eyes so I like to avoid lights, and they need belly heat to digest their food so heat pads are preferred. If you need additional heat on top of a heat pad I would recommend a ceramic heat emitter in order to avoid bright lights!

  • @j.t.3378

    Need your help. Tried all the different types of substrate. Eco earth. Mocha does not like it. She seemed to like the carpet one. How I know she don't like Eco earth. She won't walk on it. The terrarium liner she walks on it normal. The little princess. How do I now keep the humidity up.

    • @abbywester1120
      @abbywester1120 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    How often do you have to clean it?

    • @eliasc2864
      @eliasc2864 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      John Smith these geckos usually pick a corner of their enclosure to “relieve themselves”. Clean up after then after they do so, usually a day after they eat.
      I usually clean my tank once a month or once every two months. Kinda varies. They’re not dirty animals.

    • @EmmaLynneSampson
      @EmmaLynneSampson  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I only feed mine in a dish. if you free feed crickets, then it could be a bit risky, but overall it's still usually safe for them! a healthy AFT can pass any eco earth if it does get ingested. overall, eco earth is safe for most AFTs!

    • @Sonru64
      @Sonru64 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Emma Lynne Sampson Ah gotcha. Yeah she only eats crickets that free roam around her tank at night. She refuses to eat worms of any kind and doesn't like bowls @-@ So I'm kinda conflicted

    • @fionashepley478
      @fionashepley478 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Emma Lynne Sampson it’s good to let them hunt crickets, much healthier and new stimulating. Eco earth won’t impact them if they’re healthy.

    • @fionashepley478
      @fionashepley478 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely get eco earth! They can dig in it, and it holds humidity well. It won’t impact them if they’re healthy :)
