You are so helpful with my gecko you have corrected a lot of the things I was doing wrong thank you so much and now my gecko seems much happier and you have a lot of experience and you actually give your honest opinion about everything you don’t make certain thing look good because you want to your honest not many people on TH-cam are like that also I’m using sand for my gecko right now and I was wondering I that was ok for my gecko or should I switch and if I should switch what should I switch to
Hello, I am thinking of getting a leopard gecko, I have done lots of research and have lots of savings to get quality items for his habitat. However, my parents are divorced so I am at both houses for one week each. My dad is fine with feeding him well I am away, however, I worry that I won’t be able to spend enough time with him. I have been wondering if it would be possible to transport him from house to house, in his habitat or even have 2 habitats with one at each house. I am wondering what you think I can do, I really don’t want to stress him out by switching his habitat/ location, what do you think I can do to raise him as well as possible? And if I am away every other week will I not be able to form a bond with him? My dad lives 40 mins away from my mom so it is a long journey as well. Any help/ advice would be great, thanks!
D K oh I feel you I have to switch from house to house to but my Leo seemed fine when I left him for a week and my mom fed him when he was younger and I have a pretty strong bond with him now so I think it would be fine just leaving it there but I had to transport him one week to my dads and he was really stressed the whole week so I think it would be better just leaving it away if someone is there to feed it
Status update about my gecko who was missing. 3 months of searching and we found my baby. He’s weak but he’s alive. I’m so relived to see him and I’m helping him get back on track.
My mom is terrified of geckos and said she would let me have one as long as she didn’t have to touch it...lol. Well a couple of months later after I saved up some money we went to a reptile store and they helped us buy a tank and the food and they were just wonderful! Well, they said they had one baby Crestie left so we asked if we could see it. My mom was the first one to hold it and she was lik: “omg Elena.... it’s sooo cuutteee! Let’s name it Stevie.” U WOT MATE?? So apparently she loves them now. At least cresties.
I just got a crested gecko a couple of days ago and they are truly amazing creatures. I love when my little pal fires up. I also like how they get ready to jump. They are just so cute.
@@leopardgeckotalk Sorry not laughing In a bad way. I've seen my poor Gecko get spooked over movements I make,even just my spraying some light water. So I can imagine yours. Plus your editing and commentary was great it just made me chuckle. Thanks for your video I love them all👍👍Always very informative👍🦎
I use the Lucky Reptile Pro Digital Timer for my chameleon's misting system. The shortest time it can be set to is one second and it can have eight individual functions a day. However, it is quite pricey - I paid just under £20 when I got it a couple of years ago. Hope this helps you out!
@@leopardgeckotalk If you check the Dartfrog uk site they carry the model Elijah suggests and I think one or two others that are seconds capable under climate control, EU pins though so you need an adaptor.
You can always double up on timers so that the first timer goes on for a minute and then the second timer turns on for a minute 30 seconds later That way the first timer will turn off earlier giving you less time than a minute
im doing online school and i get my gecko out from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm and i take out his log and he just sleeps on my desk in his log with me all day. Its so cute. and i can tell he is comfortable with it and actually likes it.
Hi, I just came across your video and it was very helpful. If you're still looking for a short-time timer, I've used the BN-Link timer outlet. you can set the on or off cycle to as low as 1 second. I've used it with a fogger for effect. Thanks and good luck!
hey! i just wanted to say a huge thank you to you because your videos have helped me learn a ton about leopard geckos and i just ordered my first leopard gecko today and it will arrive tomorrow! but if it weren't for you and your videos i wouldn't be getting my leo right now. so thank you💗🙏🏼
My finger and phone screen broke when I clicked on this notification , I saw it and my finger moved at speed mock 4.( ok but for real I sprained my thumb , I just got so excited)
Hi Rebecca! Is it ok if you could do a video on handling Crested Geckos updated because I really want to handle my crestie but I don’t know the best technique? Awesome video
Just let them go where they want, let them crawl on you , if they are about to fall then you can catch them , when you get a good feel about how far your crestie can jump , if you feel they cant make a jump , adjust and they will adjust with you, and make changes to how they will jump . It's quite simple really
I have always wanted a misting system but been put off by the price so I was pleased to see you reviewing Swells product. (I am a BIG fan of Swell Reptiles). WOW that would frighten my Cresties and knock them off their sleeping branches or their sky houses (coconuts hanging from mesh). Can the nozzles be adjusted to give a much finer spray???. So NOISY too. They really live up to the "Monsoon" part of the name. (Puts on a one minute timer.... waterfall rushing out of vivarium doors! LOL!)
I have a question, have you ever thought about getting a green anole? I really want one but there isn’t very much information on them on youtube and i would really recommend you getting one. Just a question. Love the vid!
Where do u buy your feeder insects from because I’m tired of buying pretty much dead ones from pets at home. And also I remember watching a video a while ago and you went through a list of insects you can feed leopard geckos and I searched your channel for like half an hour and could find a thing . Keep up the good work! 🖖
I had to laugh! You opened the lid of the water tank and said (along the lines of) I'm going to add this in there... advert interrupted with a coffee add! 🤣 yep let's not put coffee in our reptiles water! Great timing and gave me a laugh at least! I was looking at one of these but I think I'll keep looking with that noise! 🤦♀️
😂 perfect timing. Yeah I remember being curious about these for the longest time but was like 'what do they sounds like though?' I felt that was an important aspect to include 😅
I have a question for my leopard gecko. He has been fine except he has some skin stuck between his eyes and we cant get it out. I was thinking I could get a plastic bag box with moss and a hide sprayed with warm water so it would kind of be like a sauna to help get the skin loose off his feet and eyes. Do you think that would ok what do you think?
@@leopardgeckotalkits stuck in between the inside of his eye and they are closed shut. I tried using a q tip many times and i felt so bad doing it because he doesnt like it. He cant see a thing so it's kind of hard to feed him. I will try my best. Thanks for the tips though! 🙂 I will try my best.
I have a very serious question that you may be able to answer. The exo terra mister (portable hand pump) uses a white lubricant that does get into the spray. I noticed it in my Geckos water. Do you know if it's non toxic? I tried to register on the exo terra site but website is down temporarily.
If you’re buying them brand new, they’re usually expensive. Various sites online sell PVC enclosures (such as zen habitats). Exo Terra is front opening and can be found at pet stores. You can sometimes find secondhand Exo Terras being sold on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for a much cheaper price
I’ll be getting a leopard gecko soon so I’m trying to slowly buy everything he/she will need. If I use a heat mat and a UVB light, will that be enough? I know everyone is different, but I’m a little confused on all of the lighting. Please help!
Swell reptiles generally has very good stuff and now I know that it’s definitely good becuz there aren’t much youtubers that actually give their onest opinion
Hi new gecko owner here! And bought the thrive starter kit! Going today to replace everything after watching ur video on it! I have a few questions and could really use you’re advice!
Can you please do a updated how to set up a leopard geckos tank? I love your channel so much! And aye be you could do a “how to convince your parents” vid?!
You could add a routine through google that turns it on and then off, you can make it wait three second by asking google to count to three in the routine.
Hi! So I have a question about crested geckos, I recently started doing lots of research and my parents said I could get one! I’m going to hopefully feed it insects like silk worms about once a week. What do I do about calcium and supplements? I don’t know what to do and I can’t find anything about it online! I will dust the silk worms with calcium without D3, since I will be feeding mainly Pangea/repashy. But what about supplements? Do they need supplements? I’m so confused!
I’ve bean doing a tone of recerch resentlsy and I can’t finde andething about water what water do I use becus I have bean told so meaney difrint things.😢
It’s normal for them to hide for most of the day, although they should be active at times, especially at dawn and dusk. If they’re a leo, they shouldn’t have too much moisture. What are you using for heating?
Gecko Guy3212 that explains it. Switch to a halogen bulb or Arcadia’s deep heat projector, then he will be much more active. These heat sources are far more natural and beneficial than heat mats. You can put slate underneath for a basking spot. Just be sure to connect it to a thermostat (halogens need a dimming stat such as herpstat), and provide plenty of plant coverage.
Hi! I am getting a gecko in the next two weeks so I’m just checking on a couple stuff to make sure I’m ready, in your metabolic bone disease video you talked about calcium and D3 supplements and am I correct in buying the Arcadia Earth pro- A natural full spectrum minerals and vitamins powder for the days where I supplement D3? Don’t feel pressure to get back to me and I hope this comment makes sense 😅☺️
Hey! I need help! I’m from Europe and I can’t get earth mix arid bc of the expensive shipping, is there any other (good for gecko) substrate I can use?💕
What are your opinions now you've had it a while? Has anything changed for you, is it still as noisy? Do you use normal tap water and has it clogged at all? TIA
Interesting you called it a transformer, US calls it an adapter. Is it common to call it a transformer in the UK? Also TH-cam's UI gas been updated apparently appearance wise. At max that mister sounds like a mini lawn mower or power generator.. Also maybe smart tech, I know people can program stuff for smart tech where things can be turned on via voice activated or set duration using a smart plug adapter. Not sure if it would work but would an interesting to experiment.
Nah we actually call it an adapter, but I think the instructions said transformer 😅 omg could you imagine I just say 'Let there be rain' and it activates the machine 😂
I got a critter crate for my leopard geckos crickets and there was a little sponge in it for water and the crickets ate a hole in it do I throw them away or still feed them
Hey I've got just one crestie, and I have no problem with feeding her insects but I can only get them in a box of like 40-60. I dont know what to do with all of them bc I obviously don't need so many! How do you guys all do this?
Best solution: get more geckos to eat them 😂 You might be able to get them in smaller quantities off of rainbowmealworms.com. I don’t have personal experience buying from the site tho, so I can’t say for sure
Hey! I've been doing a lot of research into properly taking care of leopard geckos since I intend to get one in a few months, but despite everything I've read and videos I have watched I'm still a little confused about the feeding process. I intend to gut load my feeders but should I still use multivitamins if I do? I am also somewhat confused on whether or not feeders should be dusted with calcium at every feeding. The last thing is I have heard that using a uvb light can eliminate the need to supplement Vitamin D3 every so often but I have heard conflicting opinions on whether or not these lights have adverse effects on the geckos. Sorry for the long post, I just want to make sure I'm doing everything as best I can!
1. Yes, you still need to use multivitamins every third feeding 2. Nope. Dust with calcium every other feeding. Only exception is when using Repashy Calcium Plus (an all in one) which can be used every feeding. Although it has d3 so can’t be used with UVB 3. Yep, when using UVB you need supplements without d3. Linear UVB is extremely beneficial, and won’t harm them as long as you use the right bulb and set it up properly
Well that's really a missed opportunity that they didn't put a timer in. The whole point of a misting system is to not have to do it manually, that would deter me from buying since it misses the point in my opinion. I'd probably spend a little more and get the monsoon multi, one and done.
Yeah I was a little disappointed when I realised it didn't have a timer on it. I've looked into the monsoon by exo terra but it had quite a few bad reviews, then they took it off the market for a bit, then brought it back.
maybe if you can’t find a timer, you could just put as much water in the tub that you want it to spray, so it will only spray as much water as you put in :)
Leopard Gecko thank you so much I love your content it really helps me with the information I need to get one I also used to have a green Florida anole but it passed away from old age His name was pascal

And you deserve like 1mil subscribers really though...and your editing is on point it's awesome it made me laugh all throughout the video 😂... Have a lovely day.
Hii! I had this question for quite a while now. I was searching for the Arcadia Mix Substrate that you use but where I livr we don’t have any of these. I use coconut fiber for my gecko, Sunny, but I am getting a new tank for her soon and I was thinking about maybe going on natural substrate. I watched your videos about the best and worst substrates and I don’t wanna use a repti carpet or paper towels. Is there a way that I can make a good substrate by myself? I found many people making natural arid substrate and I believe this might be a way to get a good looking substrate for my gecko...so my question is: can I use an arid substrate mix recipe for my gecko? Are there any risks of impaction? Is it safe? Ps: the substrate that I am looking to make is usually made of play sand, top soil, dead leaves and coconut fiber and husk.
Mixing your own substrate is a great option! It’s completely safe as long as your gecko has proper husbandry (hot spot of 92-95, etc.). A mix of 60% organic top soil (Scott’s is a good brand) and 40% playsand is a good option. You can add leaf litter if you want, but you don’t need to. Although if you go bioactive with a cleanup crew, leaf litter will be important. What are you using for heating?
Maduzilla I recommend looking into a halogen bulb or Arcadia’s deep heat projector, they’re the most natural and beneficial options by far. They produce infrared a and b like the sun, and allow for deep tissue heating, unlike heat mats and ceramic bulbs. This video does a great job explaining it! th-cam.com/video/dUJZ04sqhxk/w-d-xo.html

QUESTION!!
A leopard gecko can lay eggs without male gacko?? Thanks for answer!
Yes, but they’ll be infertile.
If it is too much water, reduce the amount of spray heads you use.

Nighting Gale heat mat

Gecko Guy3212 that explains it. Switch to a halogen bulb or Arcadia’s deep heat projector, then he will be much more active. These heat sources are far more natural and beneficial than heat mats. You can put slate underneath for a basking spot. Just be sure to connect it to a thermostat (halogens need a dimming stat such as herpstat), and provide plenty of plant coverage.
Hi! I am getting a gecko in the next two weeks so I’m just checking on a couple stuff to make sure I’m ready, in your metabolic bone disease video you talked about calcium and D3 supplements and am I correct in buying the Arcadia Earth pro- A natural full spectrum minerals and vitamins powder for the days where I supplement D3? Don’t feel pressure to get back to me and I hope this comment makes sense 😅☺️
Apollo 9 digital timers. I think its programmable
up to 8 times a day - 7 days a week - you can use it for as low as 2 seconds to 2 minutes.
Hey! I need help! I’m from Europe and I can’t get earth mix arid bc of the expensive shipping, is there any other (good for gecko) substrate I can use?💕
The beginning tho 😂
☺️☺️
What water did you use?
What are your opinions now you've had it a while? Has anything changed for you, is it still as noisy? Do you use normal tap water and has it clogged at all? TIA
another great video !
Interesting you called it a transformer, US calls it an adapter. Is it common to call it a transformer in the UK? Also TH-cam's UI gas been updated apparently appearance wise. At max that mister sounds like a mini lawn mower or power generator.. Also maybe smart tech, I know people can program stuff for smart tech where things can be turned on via voice activated or set duration using a smart plug adapter. Not sure if it would work but would an interesting to experiment.
Nah we actually call it an adapter, but I think the instructions said transformer 😅
omg could you imagine I just say 'Let there be rain' and it activates the machine 😂
@@leopardgeckotalk That would be funny!😂
I have a question! For some reason when I buy crickets they die in the next few days do you know why?
One more question, is it okay to have a gecko in led lights?
Yes, LED lights are fine to use during the day.
Where do you get the crickets from? And do they have egg cartons?
I get my crickets from petco since it’s the only place I really can get them, and yes they come with egg cartons
WhyDidyoudothat? Try getting them from rainbowmealworms.com. Or Dubia roaches from dubiaroaches.com
Okay! I’ll try that
I got a critter crate for my leopard geckos crickets and there was a little sponge in it for water and the crickets ate a hole in it do I throw them away or still feed them
Still feed them. Just remove the sponge and gutload the crickets with veggies. Wait until they have the sponge out of their systems.
That's so cool I love your vids
Thanks :D
You can pair a smart plug with Alexa and set a routine that when triggered can spray the tank for the required time
Hey im trying to learn the best setup for a new leopard gecko, do you have any advise on what products to get?
Any products in particular?
Hey I've got just one crestie, and I have no problem with feeding her insects but I can only get them in a box of like 40-60. I dont know what to do with all of them bc I obviously don't need so many!
How do you guys all do this?
Best solution: get more geckos to eat them 😂
You might be able to get them in smaller quantities off of rainbowmealworms.com. I don’t have personal experience buying from the site tho, so I can’t say for sure
Because you mentioned the instructions were tricky I've just uploaded a video about how to install this
Hello I'm looking into getting a leopard gecko and I was wondering whether they are bred in the UK or imported from the wild. Thanks
They’re bred in the UK. They aren’t really taken from the wild anymore (except for less common subspecies)
@@nightinggale6470 Thank you very much
Hey! I've been doing a lot of research into properly taking care of leopard geckos since I intend to get one in a few months, but despite everything I've read and videos I have watched I'm still a little confused about the feeding process. I intend to gut load my feeders but should I still use multivitamins if I do? I am also somewhat confused on whether or not feeders should be dusted with calcium at every feeding. The last thing is I have heard that using a uvb light can eliminate the need to supplement Vitamin D3 every so often but I have heard conflicting opinions on whether or not these lights have adverse effects on the geckos. Sorry for the long post, I just want to make sure I'm doing everything as best I can!
1. Yes, you still need to use multivitamins every third feeding
2. Nope. Dust with calcium every other feeding. Only exception is when using Repashy Calcium Plus (an all in one) which can be used every feeding. Although it has d3 so can’t be used with UVB
3. Yep, when using UVB you need supplements without d3. Linear UVB is extremely beneficial, and won’t harm them as long as you use the right bulb and set it up properly
@@nightinggale6470 Alrighty, thanks!
LOL one of the most entertaining vids
Thanks :D
"torrential" comes to mind.
Yes 😂😂 it’s monsoon season 365 days a year.
Is swell reptiles available for all cuntrys
This video reminds me of the guy who made the Baby Burper machine
oh right lol havent seen that.
Is this only in the UK?
How does this compare to exo terra version
😎 cool
Damn, I really love the music in this 😁
Well that's really a missed opportunity that they didn't put a timer in. The whole point of a misting system is to not have to do it manually, that would deter me from buying since it misses the point in my opinion. I'd probably spend a little more and get the monsoon multi, one and done.
Yeah I was a little disappointed when I realised it didn't have a timer on it. I've looked into the monsoon by exo terra but it had quite a few bad reviews, then they took it off the market for a bit, then brought it back.
So, What if I put a Baby Gecko in a 20 gallon tank, Would It be happy and Healthy?
Absolutely! Just make sure it has enough clutter and coverage. It’s best to upgrade to a 40 gallon or bigger when they’re older.
Nighting Gale Oh, Alright thank you!
In Australia you pay about $300 plus
I ordered one for $350 it's a monsoon.
maybe if you can’t find a timer, you could just put as much water in the tub that you want it to spray, so it will only spray as much water as you put in :)
Can you do a cage tour of lyra's and drogo's tank, cause their birthday just passed? Thank you so much, I love your vids
You could always use less nozzels in the tank.
I think it helps that it's spread over three, but yeah if i had a smaller tank I'd probably use less 🙈
I'm a new owner and do they need this rain thing?
I'm new to all this but why not just use a submersible pump?
Hi Iam going to get a leopard gecko tomorrow omg I’m so excited 😆 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😆😆😆😆😆
Ah good luck :D

My boy rex just did his first shed in his new home with us😁
Hii! I had this question for quite a while now. I was searching for the Arcadia Mix Substrate that you use but where I livr we don’t have any of these. I use coconut fiber for my gecko, Sunny, but I am getting a new tank for her soon and I was thinking about maybe going on natural substrate. I watched your videos about the best and worst substrates and I don’t wanna use a repti carpet or paper towels. Is there a way that I can make a good substrate by myself? I found many people making natural arid substrate and I believe this might be a way to get a good looking substrate for my gecko...so my question is: can I use an arid substrate mix recipe for my gecko? Are there any risks of impaction? Is it safe? Ps: the substrate that I am looking to make is usually made of play sand, top soil, dead leaves and coconut fiber and husk.
Mixing your own substrate is a great option! It’s completely safe as long as your gecko has proper husbandry (hot spot of 92-95, etc.). A mix of 60% organic top soil (Scott’s is a good brand) and 40% playsand is a good option. You can add leaf litter if you want, but you don’t need to. Although if you go bioactive with a cleanup crew, leaf litter will be important. What are you using for heating?
Nighting Gale Thank you so much! I am using a ceramic heat lamp (it is not infra red) and a heat mat.
Maduzilla I recommend looking into a halogen bulb or Arcadia’s deep heat projector, they’re the most natural and beneficial options by far. They produce infrared a and b like the sun, and allow for deep tissue heating, unlike heat mats and ceramic bulbs.
This video does a great job explaining it!
