My stepmom has recently gotten into air plants and you’d be surprised at how many varieties there are. She’s even had some bloom for her. Great job on the tank, he looks like he loves it. ❤️
This is amazing! My gecko is turning a year old soon, and this video gave me a ton of ideas on how to customize a new background for her tank, now that she's growing and I'd like some more areas for her to explore. Thanks for this, and all the great care info you provide on your channel-- It really helped me out as a new reptile owner!
Your channel inspired me to go out and buy a gecko knowing that she will be cared for well, and now I have a healthy 8-month-old gecko because of you. Thank you for everything in general
Bought my first leopard gecko yesterday and I'm hooked on your channel. Your videos are extremly informative and I just adore how you handle your geckos. I've seen so many videos with distressed geckos and horrible tanks, it's a joy finding a reptile youtuber who has such calm and relaxed animals.
I used to have a sandy floored, one cactus, and 2 water holes that were dirty, I though i was doing it right, then I watched you and reset up my cage, now it’s carpet with lots of different clean water holes and it’s exotic, not desserty, and it now has a heat mat, thank you! You saved my Leo’s
Great job! This vivarium is looking amazing. You have been doing an excellent job at designing these naturalistic vivariums. Once again, another amazing video! Also, it was so cool to get a shout out at the end. Thank you so much!
Earth Mix Arid is no longer available, what do we use as a replacement? I can do the work myself and do a mix of potting soil, eco earth, play sand and spag moss... just looking for a one stop shop kind of deal.
Hello Rebecca, I love it!. Even though my little ones are in clear plastic containers I have things they can hide and crawl around on too. So funny to watch them crawl through the cute fake log to go into their moist hides even when they don't have to. So I know they love their apartment setups. Looks like your little one is enjoying what you did for him too. It is so amazing. Upgrades are fun. Jessica's Animal Friends loves doing them too. If you never have checked out her channel you should. I think you have though. You both have the same love for leopard geckos. How can we not. They never stop smiling 😁. God's blessings to you and yours, Lin
Hey Lin, ah yeah leos can be kept in a variety of setups, Ive been meaning to upgrade his tank for ages, Gizmo's will be next :D Oo i'll have to check her out, thanks :D
Leopard Gecko , you will love Jessica. Tell her I sent you. She has 20 something special needs geckos. Plus other little ones. All have been rescued. Or from craigslist. I also wanted you to know my little ones "apartments are large ones. They are longer than high. My husband had to carry them downstairs because they were to big for me to carry safely. Just wanted you to know that they have enough room. The pet store that I volunteer at to hold the reptiles to tame them a little. The one one gals that works there wants to come back as one of my little ones she dies. Lol I think Heaven would be better. 😉
This is incredible! Probably the most perfect leopard gecko tank. You are the best, you're channel needs more subscribers, especialy everyone who owns a leopard/crested gecko.
I am so glad I watched this video! My leopard gecko gets anxiety after I spot clean his tank, so I was looking into bioactive for him to minimize spot cleaning. I looked all over but only this video that I have seen so far has mentioned a gecko dragging their tail after cleaning. I was scared he was preparing to drop his tail! But I feel better now knowing that is normal for such a situation. You described everything he does after I clean, and now I can relax knowing he's fine.
Ahh so many great ideas!! I’ll hopefully be getting a leopard gecko sometime next week. I’m so excited! I can’t wait until I can get his new home all set up!!
Air plants do just amazing indoors. But it is best to hang them outside is mostly or partial shade. If you implement some kind of natural grow light inside the tank near the plant the air plant will be fine inside there.
One major tip to "air plants". In Nature they rarely live on a Rock, or dead material. They love a living/dead plant,tree,stomp as underground to attach to. The microclima is whats suits them the best. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyte Just throw a Bark in there, but 2-3 air plants together on it, and they will do better. Mine a more shadow dweller since 2 years in my Crested Gecko tank, so iam not sure about direct sunlight. Either way good video
thanks! Yeah to be honest its been sat in a glass terrarium on some rocks at the back of my room for ages, so i thought i'd give it a bit of a fancier home, but I will take it out now and again.
Also Im glad that its normal for geckos to be weirded out when you change their cage! Mine always explore and have fast breathing whenever I clean their cage :)
I have a year old leopard gecko and the same hide you have but mine doesn't have any plants so my gecko chills in the walls! I always get so scared but there are like three openings so he loves to curl up in there!
I'm Looking at getting a leopard gecko and this is exactly the kind of setup I'm thinking natural looking with hot,cold,humid hides possibly some wood to climb on
I have the same hide for my Leo Diego and I always hate it when he would crawl into the tree trunk and it made some pretty cute pics when he would poke his head out but it was so frustrating trying to find him and being scared half to death and so I blocked off the bottom and put in some of my substrate and now I put in a plant and it works beautifully!❤️
Fantastic. Just did my first set up using eco earth. thanks for all the info. my gecko is enjoying the information you shared with us. Thank you! Also be looking at the new soil you are suggesting.
I got a Leopard gecko my first one bec of this channel. I do have a qestion I forgot the thermometer but he's doing fine what's up with that and do I need the basking light on if I have a heat pad
If you want to add plants without a drainage layer use a small pot and use a small succulent and use the reptile safe loose substrate to plant it in a pot
Love the video👌 Very helpful. I tried making an expanding foam background for my crested gecko once although I'd let the foam set and then realised I'd forgot to put coco fiber, rocks and his hide on the foam to set in it so I'd ended up with a big lump of plain white hard foam that I had to throw away 😅
I have a question abot my gecko when I'm viewing my gecko from the glass, why dies he come up to the glass and attempt to climb my face (but of course the glass is between us) until he is standing on two legs with his back 90 degrees then he just topples over
Hi, what do you do for a moist hide, at the minute I have a hide with moss wrapped in kitchen role to stop him eating the moss but watching your video's, which are great by the way, you don't seem to have anything like that. I'm just switching to Arcadia Arid mix, and got some slate and rocks to build up his space a bit more, so do I actually need a moist hide or will making a shelter and keeping the earth moist be enough? I don't use a heat mat , just a basking lamp on a thermostat and uvb light on a timer. Many thanks x
thanks to you! im learing more stuff for my leopard gecko im saving up money for a bigger tank rn i have a 10 gallon and im worried its too small for her but im learning more stuff on what to get and what not thank you
I have repticarpet for my leopard gecko should I put the temp probe over or under it? Also can I use strips of Velcro to hold the probe down if it’s on top?
Jaden Garcia well, the probe goes where your leopard gecko will be. They can often get underneath the reptile carpet, though, so it may be best to put it there
Is expanding foam a good adhesive because the rocks I’m going to use are a little heavy. I’ve tried hot glue and that didn’t work and gorilla glue is gonna take too long and the rocks are super flat so what adhesive should I usev
I just set up a tank for my potential gecko. I put down eco earth and a uth but can not get it warm in my tank. Do I need one like you had that goes in the tank under the dirt??
Eco earth isn’t the best substrate since it can be dusty and hard on their joints. Quarantine on paper towel for the first six weeks. After, good solids include textured tile and non-adhesive shelf liner. It’s best to offer digging enrichment over six months with reptisoil, organic top soil, or a bioactive mix. Half tile half soil is good as well. It would be best to use a deep heat projector or halogen bulb. Any heat source must be connected to a proper thermostat and measured by a digital thermometer (like a temp gun).
Impaction is caused by improper husbandry, not loose substrate. As long as their husbandry is correct (basking spot of 92-95, overhead heating, etc.) they’ll be able to pass it no problem. How do you think they handle the loose substrate in their natural habitat? Digging/burrowing enrichment is extremely beneficial for them. Loose substrate is the best way to go.
My crested gecko is a baby and I noticed like a dark reddish brown around its one pupil and I don't know what it is! Please help and reply if you have any answers ;c
Thanks :) Yeah i only have really big bits of drift wood which wouldnt work well in the tank. I would like to add more plants, we'll see how this air plant goes, and maybe add more in the future :)
They don’t run on batteries. And you need to put the heat mat under the enclosure. The only reason she has hers inside is because her tanks are wooden. Connect the heat mat to a thermostat, measure it with a digital thermometer, and elevate the tank for air flow.
I did a video years ago called '20 reasons a leopard gecko wont eat', if hes losing a lot of weight, and you're really concerned, pop him to the vets :)
I have watched a lot of videos on Leo tanks including Brian Barczyk Solid Gold Aquatics Jessica's Animal friends and many other your tank is pretty awesome I'm working on something similar myself using styrofoam as a background with ledges and such. Keep up the good work and give yourself credit
Curtis Powers multiple reasons. He’s sold many leopard geckos with stick tail. He’s had snakes with respiratory infection and snake rot. He keeps them in enclosures too small without specifying the things they need (even his pets).
Fiona Shepley okay well he is apparently well respected by many other breeders like Prehistoric Pets, Always Evolving Pythons, Olympus Reptiles so in the breeding world no one is perfect especially when you have the inventory he does. He does however have 8 employees that we know of that are in his vlogs
it might be that it is eating but geckos tongue licks are very small - or the food bowl isnt in the right place? is it high up, but easy for the gecko to reach? also you may want to change up the food.
Hi I have a question if I feed my mealworms do I not refrigerate them or if I do feed the mealworms should I feed when I buy them let them sit out to eat for 24 hours and then refrigerate them or should I just not refrigerate them period if I have 1 gecko?
you dont really want to quicken the growth rate. a healthy gecko will grow at the correct pace. Watch my supplementing and feeding schedule video, if you get that right, that will help, as well as correct temp and gutloading food.
Leopard Gecko oh I don't use different types of supplements I was using just calcium with d3 then you told me it's bad and need vitamins so now I just use super calcium plus from repashy a all in one supplement I dust every feeding is that good it's just that in have a baby and want it to grow to a adult so I can interact with it more how long did it take for your leos to grow also if I got my leo may 8th of 2018 when will it be full grown? thanks
Is it ok if I dust every other feed with calcium no d3 and then every 3rd feed vitamins with d3? Or should also use some calcium with d3 to give more d3?
I got a leopard gecko about a month ago and she came with a ten gallon tank. She is a fully grown but I don't know if I should move her to a 20 gallon or keep it a 10. Some advice would be great. The tank came out really well too, to be honest though, I probably would have ruined everything😂 Great job and keep up the amazing work!
Can somebody please tell me what age you can feed your leopard gecko crickets mine is 3 months and I don’t know when! Also is a reptile hammock good for leopard geckos?
I have the same hide as Diego for my Leo and feeders never really got in it but as a baby my Leo would stay in it for hours and the only indication that he wasn’t stuck was seeing him just pick up his head lol
I have a question: Can you use jungle earth as a substrate? My local zoo doesen’t have eco earth (which I really want to use), but jungle earth looks fairly similar. I want to be completely sure that it’s safe for my gecko before I settle with it.
Terrarium design is an artform.

i'll add my own air plant quirk, you can use the dirty water from Diego's water bowl to fill up a spray bottle and spray the air plants to feed them.
One major tip to "air plants". In Nature they rarely live on a Rock, or dead material. They love a living/dead plant,tree,stomp as underground to attach to.

Jaden Garcia well, the probe goes where your leopard gecko will be. They can often get underneath the reptile carpet, though, so it may be best to put it there
personally i think i'd put it above the carpet as thats where the leo will be lying.
Is expanding foam a good adhesive because the rocks I’m going to use are a little heavy. I’ve tried hot glue and that didn’t work and gorilla glue is gonna take too long and the rocks are super flat so what adhesive should I usev

I've got like litte pieces of wood for the bottem, is sand or something like what you use better ?
Fleur de rooi nether sand or wood. I recommend eco earth or a bioactive substrate (which you don’t have to clean)
sooo could i put the heat amt inside the cage or do i have to put it outside the tank?
Outside unless the tank is wooden.
I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS
hahaa i have delivered :D
wont the gecko have impaction from eating the substrate?

Tayla Cartledge unfortunately you can’t keep non-native species in Australia unless you have a license
That sucks 😪
Love diagos bew cage, you should add some more plants and maybe some driftwood overall I love it
Thanks :) Yeah i only have really big bits of drift wood which wouldnt work well in the tank. I would like to add more plants, we'll see how this air plant goes, and maybe add more in the future :)
Ohh.. So the heat mat has to be in the cage??? I am getting a glass or plastic one so how am i going to do that? also, do heat mats run on batteries?

What’s the warm side temperature and what type of thermometer do you use?

Really cool looking tank! I’m hoping to do something like this for my gecko someday too:)
ah awesome! :) Thank you :D
One question. What I have to do if my creased gecko doesn't want to eat
it might be that it is eating but geckos tongue licks are very small - or the food bowl isnt in the right place? is it high up, but easy for the gecko to reach? also you may want to change up the food.
what size is this vivarium?
Hi I have a question if I feed my mealworms do I not refrigerate them or if I do feed the mealworms should I feed when I buy them let them sit out to eat for 24 hours and then refrigerate them or should I just not refrigerate them period if I have 1 gecko?
Jaden Garcia refrigerate them and let them sit out for 24 hours before feeding :)
how often do you replace the entire substrate?
If it’s bioactive you never have to replace it. If it’s not bioactive you can go several months without fully replacing it.
Leopard gecko what helps leopard geckos grow is it calcium also is there anyway I can quicken there growth rate? Please respond
you dont really want to quicken the growth rate. a healthy gecko will grow at the correct pace.
Watch my supplementing and feeding schedule video, if you get that right, that will help, as well as correct temp and gutloading food.
Leopard Gecko oh I don't use different types of supplements I was using just calcium with d3 then you told me it's bad and need vitamins so now I just use super calcium plus from repashy a all in one supplement I dust every feeding is that good it's just that in have a baby and want it to grow to a adult so I can interact with it more how long did it take for your leos to grow also if I got my leo may 8th of 2018 when will it be full grown? thanks
Is it ok if I dust every other feed with calcium no d3 and then every 3rd feed vitamins with d3? Or should also use some calcium with d3 to give more d3?
Jaden Garcia calcium without d3 is good :)
Would love to have that substrate but I can't find it anywhere here in the states.
StuntmanMike night be at expos. The website lightyourreptiles has it too

I got a leopard gecko about a month ago and she came with a ten gallon tank. She is a fully grown but I don't know if I should move her to a 20 gallon or keep it a 10. Some advice would be great. The tank came out really well too, to be honest though, I probably would have ruined everything😂 Great job and keep up the amazing work!
Infinite Galaxy Gaming 20 would definitely be better
Fiona Shepley Thank you so much, I needed someone's advice😅
What brand is your enclosure
Can you use Earthmix Arid for a bioactive tank?
Yep!
What do you use for a uvb lamp and when do you use it?
Can somebody please tell me what age you can feed your leopard gecko crickets mine is 3 months and I don’t know when! Also is a reptile hammock good for leopard geckos?
Ella C. Hammocks are great :)
Is a Medium/Low ExoTerra good for a baby/juvi leopard gecko?
Lynne Bass yes, with multiple hides
What size tank/vivarium are you using?
is the dirt dangerous? Help please
A Tree it’s usually a great substrate since it lets them dig. What do you mean by dirt?
Oh, you mean the stuff she’s using? No, not at all!
Fiona Shepley THANK YOU ahah umm also do you know whats better heat matt or a lamp?
A Tree heat mat connected to a thermostat :)
Fiona Shepley you are a very good person i hope you know that haha
How big is his enclosure?
You are the most British person I know
Hello, great video. Where or how did you make the rocky ledges?
The first set up was wayyyyyyyyyyy better,
Nice
thanks :)
I have the same hide as Diego for my Leo and feeders never really got in it but as a baby my Leo would stay in it for hours and the only indication that he wasn’t stuck was seeing him just pick up his head lol
I have a question:
Can you use jungle earth as a substrate? My local zoo doesen’t have eco earth (which I really want to use), but jungle earth looks fairly similar. I want to be completely sure that it’s safe for my gecko before I settle with it.
-That person Raven- I don’t think so, the wood chips could splinter them or pierce their gullet
