    If you look at a map of their range Pakistan, North West India, South East Afghanistan and then check it against google earth their habitats are incredibly varied there's arid lands including two desserts, grasslands, mangroves, forested areas and mountains.

    Please do more on leopard geckos, Tokay, and crested and gargoyles geckos. In home care and requirements. Love all the going forward information to better our reptile care.

    Love this! Leopard geckos are found over such a vast area, they’re so adaptable and the more we learn about their wild environment the more we can adapt our care 😊

      There are so many different regions that they live in. Honestly just do research on those areas and pick one. If your leopard geckos are acting natural, they’re shedding properly, they dig, they drink water, they eat their food. You are doing just fine. If they are not doing these things then change habitat. Pick a different habitat set up within their area range and see if they like that. People overthink this way too much. I would rather see someone attempting to make these leopard geckos a similar habitat to what they naturally live than spend their whole life on newspaper and carpet. The point of owning these animals is to give them an enriched life. Not to leave them on flipping newspaper.

    This is such a helpful video! I want to make my leopard gecko’s enclosure as naturalistic as possible. She’s about 4 years old now and is really healthy, but I’m always learning more about leopard gecko care and trying to upgrade and change her setup for the better.

    I am so happy that I found these types of videos, I am looking to get into the hobby, and am now thinking of creating a 4*2*2 tank that is hot, more arid plant style on one side with a "mountain" in the middle and a cooler more lush planted look on the other side

    I mean I don’t think anyone is saying hey let’s drop the temps to 40 degrees for a prolonged time. But if it dips a little more one night than what most people would consider comfortable then it’s fine. It’s easier to just stick with simplicity and follow certain “rules” for dummies if you will but providing temperature drops can also be extremely beneficial. As in going into brumation. While freezing temperatures are certainly a no no, I don’t believe anyone is saying to do that when we talk about temperature drops

    So what would be the recommended humidity range be for captive leopard geckos?

    • @AnimalsatHomePodcast
      @AnimalsatHomePodcast  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A gradient from 40% to 80% is ideal. Typically this is easiest achieved, using a humid hide.

    All right but at the end of the day you guys I need to know what video that you're going to give us showing us what we can do with terrariums with the leopard geckos instead of it being a desert with one wet spot. Say I'm going to build something 6 ft long I want to know what all can I do little miniature tropical rainforest at one end you know with the partition so that way he has to crawl underneath and up into that rainforest and then on the other side desert and some plants or what. Let me know

    The study that I read traced their origin to Pakistan. India has not allowed export for many, many years. I'm interested to learn more about this because it contradicts what I've researched. The researchers were from India but the animals were traced back to Pakistan.

    scared of the cold. i think this is a little harsh on most keepers cold is proven to kill... it is also a confined space. yes their temps in the wild can get very cold however in the wild they have options to go deep into tunnels or deep into trees all of which have been found to be warmer than the outside temps. if you drop temps in a confined enclosure where there is no options you are risking your animals life and overall health. in the wild a bearded dragon lowest ever recorded temp is -9c that's cold but when that happens dragons have access to animal holes. take wombats for example they have have chambers unto 11ft down where the temps will be no where near as harsh as on the surface.

    They 'thrive' in plastic shoeboxes on paper towels. You almost have to try to kill them they're so hardy.
    The Sierra I live in is a "similar" biome to herpetologist Mohammed's finds in the upper elevations of the Salt Range. Up to 8000' in mountainous cedar forests

    I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and in my reptile room, the normal humidity is 60-70%. Tbh I don’t remember to moisten their hides all the time, and they shed their skin beautifully! They are all healthy, never had any issues with the higher humidity. This video makes total sense
