I said it before but, YOUR TERRARIUM IS SO PRETTY
Where I live we’ve been going through a massive heat wave. It’s getting close to 40°C outside. When I came home from work today I saw my geckoes tank was at 86. He seemed to be really lethargic(which is not like him at all) and he was breathing differently. This video helped me drop his temperature from 86 to 79 in less than 30 minutes. Because of this video you saved my Cresties life. Once the heat dropped in his tank his breathing went back to normal and he’s no longer lethargic.
3:54 open the water bottle. Evaporation has a cooling effect.
Ive been putting freezer packs on top of my crestie's terrarium every few hours for the past two days when I see it at about 80/26.7 and I cover up the half of the screen its on with some cloth or plastic and see the temp average at 75/23.8 which is nice to see.
On top of that, I just added moss and with twice misting the terrariun daily, the humidity in the terrarium is rather high which causes a lot of condensation on the freezer pack and allows for a makeshift dripper and maintains the humidity very well.
the humidity may be too high but Id rather have the high humidity with a reasonable temperature, Ill just clean the tank thoroughly once the heat wave dies down a bit to get rid of any potential fungus or mold. Its only been about 2 days so far.
Im also really iffy on handling my crestie right now because on top of the heat, if the doors are open while the ice pack is on, the cool air escapes easily, and I also tend to have very very warm hands. I do poke around in the tank to find Gallan though to make sure he is still active and doing well.
I dont know if Im over-worrying as I am really new to this (aside for watching a lot of your videos and looking up basic care sheets) but Id rather overworry than underworry and something go wrong.
any thoughts or suggestions on all this?
its 112 in california and i fear for my baby gecko :(
It was 124 this year
Bro pls tell me they’re okay? Its like 85 in my house rn and it’s my first day with my juvenile gecko crested and I have the cold pack on the cage and the water bottle In the tank is this okay !? I live in Cali too how’s the natural humidity ??
I live in Egypt and It gets to 113°f maximum
Did he live?
@@bobabdul7348 yes! Still have him
Thanks i could definitely use this because yesterday was the first day of summer
After watching your videos on your leopard geckos for two months I can finally get one I'm around your age when you got your first gecko thank you for the videos you have the best information about leopard geckos
aww thank you :) good luck with your future gecko :D
Lol up in the north west it's just the usual weather ;P
True dat :D
Really? Haha anytime I've been up north it's been cold, grey and rainy lol
***THIS MIGHT HELP SNAKE OWNERS A LOT***My snake’s favorite hide is his water bowl because it’s a little hollow underneath. So I put ice cubes in the metal bowl to help him stay cool.
3:46 best part
This really helped me thank you
Another, fairly easy thing to do is to put a floor tile or scrap square of granite in the tank! it always stays much cooler than the outside. I have used this for small mammals and reptiles living in southern california
Your always so supportive I loveee your vids
My terrarium is too high to make a difference on their temperature so I just freeze big bottles of water and put one on top of their moist hides and keeps it at around 70* and they love it for hot days and they shed so fast and easy too. I change the bottle twice a day, the hides aren’t freezing, they get wet on top on the roof and then evaporate so keeps it more humid too. Has been my savior for the summer, couldn’t find a solution anywhere online so thought to just try it out and it’s been months and works perfectly! Glad to see you’re doing the same or similar💙
Great ideals & info! THANKS
Thanks for the tips ✌️
thanks for the tips!
Hey rebecca!
I just realized that my friend commented on ep 20 of sea monkeys saying I was obsessed with your channel and you replied! lol
But I seriously am obsessed! What you do for your geckos are so amazing! You are also a lot of inspiration for me!
When I get older I want to be just like you!
My Gecko and I thank you for everything you do!
Keep up the Awesome work!!!
Aww thank you so much, that's so sweet :D
+Leopard Gecko
any time!!! :D
its so cool that you replied
jm seriously freakin out lol :))
+Leopard Gecko im* :P
Thankyou for making this video ! I live somewhere where it is hot all year round
I live in El salvador so the haet mat is the same tempeture of the ambient temperature
Hello from Texas! 😀 just got 3 leopard geckos, first time. love your videos! good tips.
Omg Rebecca I have just made myself a channel which is going to be about Reptiles and other thungs as well but I have been meaning to tell you that I am such a huge fan. I have probably watched close to all your videos and you have showed me what I have done right and wrong. Thank You so much. You are amazing and meep up all your amazing work!! I love you so much!
aww thank you so much :D :D
Thanks for the vid!
no worries :D
+Leopard Gecko Would a Plastic Log hide be considered a hot or cold hide?
+Lumineon 296 depends on which side you keep it on. Could be both.
Ok, Thanks :)
Good video as usual
Great video, really helpful!
Thanks :)
if that picture is your gecko, they’re BEAUTIFUL!
Sooo warm
hahaha thx for the video helped alot it's not even spring yet here in south africa and it's like already 31°C
Woah! Haha I would not do well in that weather :') though South Africa always looks beautiful :)
I melted today... that's that.
My gecko sat on my trampoline and had a lovely sunbathe. Also in the UK.
Thank you for these tips. I live in Florida and I want to get a crestie. I'm used to my room temps in the summer, so when I turned the digital thermostats on for the first time and it read 84.7 F I became concerned. Gonna do some tests before I get my gecko.
Awesome vid I love ur channel
thank you :D
This is an awesome vid your awesome at TH-cam and I love your channel and my geckos
aww thank you so much :D
I am watching ALL of your videos. i am getting a leopard gecko in a few weeks
thank u so much lg this vid helped me
ah no worries :D
+Leopard Gecko :D
even holland!
I just got my first Leopard Geck
awesome! Hope you have fun with him/her
how are they doing?
So hot... KEK !
love your vids favorite animal vids by far
Aw thank you :D
Leopard Gecko who ah you responded
Try adding a cooling stone to the enclosure your pet can lie on. You want to use something that's easy to clean and having two for rotation will allow you to keep one refrigerated while one is in the enclosure. Marble is the best material (which is why chefs use it to keep pastry cool as they work with it) but kitchen or bathroom wall tiles work well too.
Italy... at night 30°, during the day its normally to have 36-38° ITS MAAAD HOT
I'm already nervous for this summer with my new reptile
Have you try put some ice pack on your terrarium?
RIP ZIGGY
can you do a video on how to keep it warm in the winter cause fall and winter is right aroun the corner +leopard gecko
In los angeles its so hot, so my leo will literally lay down in her water bowl and sleep there. im going to try this. thanks
aww haha
Would I be able to have a fan point towards the tank for a breeze?
What do you do for heat on your Crested geckos
When my geckos hot he puts himself in his water bowl
But that doesn't work if your water is the same temperature as your surroundings.
That only works if you change the water every hour.
I used to have bunnies that lived in outside cages and we would fill a milk jug with water and freeze it then just put it in their cages they loved it!!!
Oh and l loved the video as always Rebecca! I was actually going to ask if you could make this video!
aw thanks :) Yeah I use marble slabs with my chinchilla, they cool down pretty well.
I live in florida, my room is in the basement where I have my geckos, but my grandma won't let me use the heat lamp on them. my room is 70-75 degrees F
I made a mini air conditioner from my old computer and placed it on the top of the terrarium
its not perfect but helps to cool down the air a little bit
My Gecko also likes to chill under it somethimes
the high in texas this week is 40° c,,,,,
Im from London, I could do with 30c+ from time to time.. Anyways the method I use is a usb fan, basically a small compact square fan the same they use for marine fish to cool the tank.. set it on a timer & wallah its like a small square tile shaped box :)
Ah that's pretty cool, I didn't think of that, though I no some animals don't do well with fans because they can get a chill or respiratory issues.
+Leopard Gecko Yeah suppose so in smaller set ups aha :) Are you from UK?
It's actually for me getting kinda cold! But it's not a big issue because I'm very early cold and my pets don't mind. My cats and dog don't care my bearded dragon isn't bother ( unless I'm taking her outside my house) and my and colony will be hibernating soon :)
I actually dont have a leopard gecko but dad is getting me one in Octobet
how can i keep my crestie warm during winter ? hes also a baby, 1 month and a half. i live in california and during the winter it can get under 60 sometimes.
I love all your videos by the way, you take really good care of your pets.
Get a heating mat or lamp
mine just goes to sleep in his Moss hide
I guess that's one way to cool down haha
+Leopard Gecko yh he love it lol
One question how do you keep the humidity down In the terrarium?
Here in Texas it can be 100 degrees one day and pouring rain the next
I’m getting a geko today
hi iam almost baying a crested gecko but my house temp in the summer monthes is 30+ and i work 9 hour shifts woud a 9 liter block of ice(wahter jug on top of the terrarium) with a towl over it be enough for the 9 houres? sorry for the english greating frome a dutch dude love the channel!
and austria :3
Right now my ac is out so I have a portable ac and a fan both at Max in my room and my leopard gecko tank is at 79-82 degrees and he’s chilling in his water bowl and going into his humid life from time to time and he’s also still staying in his warm hide meaning I’m guessing he’s ok since he’s a desert animal but the tank usually stays 69-75 degrees with the ac on so I just put a ice pack on top and hoping it gets cooler and makes the humidity go down bc the humidity is at 70% so we’ll see but it’s supposed to get fixed tomorrow so I reckon he will be ok and he’s pooping perfectly fine
What if i want to go on vacation in the summer when its hot? Is there a way to keep it cool while im gone(I do have someone to feed it)
I have some Mediterranean geckos (closely related to Leo's) and they just go and hide in their cool hide xD which is also their water bowl so some water seeps threw. Not enough to mold though I checked on that
Ah nice :) yeah I find my Leos can regulate themselves a lot easier than the crestie since there's a temp gradient in their tanks.
+Leopard Gecko me and my brother plan to get a Crestie for Christmas, we have the same exact tank as you do 😂
Hiya
Wow this video is really 'cool' it really helped me 'chilled' out! You geckos are more 'chill' with your camera
Sorry I had to do that 😂😂
omg haha :')
Hi from isreal...
Hey I'm getting a leopard gecko tomorrow (!!!) and I'm wondering what the best material would be as a flooring for the habitat? Thanks!!
Awesome :) do you mean the bottom of the tank, or substrate? I did a video called, the guide to leopard gecko substrates, you could check that out :)
Never mind, my dad found some nice tile in the basement and so far it seems like it's going to work really well (as a floor to the terrarium), but thanks anyway!!
Are window-mounted air conditioning units not popular where you live? They're very inexpensive, I'd figure they would be a good investment. (I live in the southeast US, though, and it gets up to 100°F here almost daily, so some form of A/C is necessary in every house.)
Never seen one of those in my life and I live in Sweden, only one I ever saw was in The Brave Little Toaster, we never knew really what he was as kids
Ummm.... I was actually wondering somthing like this. How do you keep them warm when the AC's on.
ükui 42 heat mat. If that isn’t enough, ceramic heat emitter for extra heat :)
I got a new vivarium for my gecko and I have noticed it's very stuffy in there, I tried turning the temperature down but it makes no difference. Do you think I could use a reptile fan? As the fan pulls out the old air and puts in fresh air? Would you say this is okay to use or?
Kinda sad how this was three years ago and nobody answered
What morph is gizmo
Is an 8-watt heat pad fine for a baby leopard gecko? If so, could i keep using the 8-watt heat pad when it's an adult?
Yep, just as long as it covers a third to a half of the tank floor space. :)
how do you keep your Cresties warm in the winter
The Hutch...You could easily get a heat lamp to him/her warm in the winter.
my leopard gecko got a platter prolapse and it cost 283 dollars to get fixed because it was a holiday so 200 dollars extra
THANKS. I HAVE A FROG AND ITS 30C TO 34 EVERY DAY NOW AND WHEN SUMMER COMES IT WILL BE IN THE LATE 30S TO 40 PLUS SO I REALLY NEED TO DO SOMETHING FOR MY FROG. IN THE ARVO I PUT HER IN MY BATHROOM SO SHE CAN HAVE MORE FREEDOM. SHE CLIMBS UP THE WALL HIGH UP AND SLEEPS THERE WITH THE WINDOW OPEN. AT NIGHT WHEN SHE GETS ACTIVE I PUT HER BACK IN HER TANK BUT I THINK WHILE SHE IS IN HER TANK I MIGHT PUT A COLD BOTTLE OF WATER IN HER TANK LIKE YOU SUGGESTED OR AN ICE PACK ON TOP OF THE BANK.
SAAAMMMEE NO AIR CON, VERY INSULATED, ENGLAND, IM MELTING
How would i keep my toad cooler hes a baby
I know u aren't supposed to use a heat lamp for geckos, but is a normal light ok just so you can see in there? And what kind do you use?
I wouldn't use one.
we actually dont have lepord or crested geckos in Aus but i watch anyway lol
You don't? Ah that sucks, just head over to New Caledonia and see one in the wild :) haha, thanks for watching :D
For the first time I'm some what early
Woop!
+Leopard Gecko omg you actually responded your like my idol
100° is hot for sothern cali
I have 3 leopard geckos and since Ionly have 1 tank a 75 gallon custom made tank is that too big? I put quite a few hides I even use Eco Earth! My mum told me that I could get another tank and another gecko,but is okay if I could slowly introduce my geckos to another female? P.S. my other 3 are sisters and get along so do you think they'll get territorial? Just checking before I add another leo.
The tank's fine. You can try introducing another female, but make sure they're all about the same size and you have a backup tank.
Is it possible to keep a terrarium when the average surface temperature reaches 32°C? We live near the equator
sunlight is something else then day light
Nice video! I have a question, I have I believe an 8x6 inch heat pad on one side of my tank, and my gecko doesn't seem to use it... is it because my gecko is just fine or...? because she used to always use her hear mat, it isn't too hot or too cold it is just fine but yeah thanks for the video
It may be too hot in the tank, but every gecko is different. Your gecko should be fine, one of my geckos only uses the cool side in the summer, and the warm side in the winter.
it may be too hot, are you using a thermostat with it?
Her cages normal temp is 75-77 degrees farenheight normally. I don't think it would be too hod
+Luke The Vampire Slayer what about the reading directly on the heat mat? I use a thermometer with a probe, because it will read the temp of what my geckos have to lay on.
Leopard Gecko temp on heat mat is 86 farenheight
I don't own a leopard gecko or crested gecko but I'm planning to get one
Awesome :)
Leopard Gecko Can you do a face reveal
mine is a ray of sunshine !
im really nervous about my new gecko. her tank temp as of rn is 90
Is she still alive?
Dear LeopardGeckoTalk
I have a lovely baby leo called Echo which i got not so long ago i was holding him when i started to worry if his tail was getting thicker do you now how wide the tail is supposed to be at four months and how long until it should be fully grown? As a leo owner who has experienced the growth of a gecko i wondered weather you would know.
Although i do not have a terrarium i will note these for when i do get one in the future.
Hey there, I think each gecko varies, but I find with babies the tail doesn't always full fill out until they're juveniles or even adults, for example I didn't notice Ziggys really fill out until she was a year - year and a half. It wasn't that it was thing, it just didn't have that signature plump leopard gecko look.
Thank you that soothed a lot of worries 😀
It's best to wait at least a few days before interacting with your gecko, so they can get used to their environment.
+Fiona Shepley I had it for 3months
Oh sorry you made it sound more recent
We just got hit by a sudden change in weather, it's dropped about 10C outside! (It's about 5C cooler inside) Will you be doing a 'keeping your geckos warm in the winter' video? I'm unfortunate enough to not have indoor heating (long story), or terribly good insulation, so my girl is going off her heat mat alone, if anyone else would also like to answer, would a ceramic heat emitter be a good option? I've tinfoiled her warm side for now.
She already has
definetly use the ceramic heat emitter to raise the temperature of the enclosure. use a 50 watt if your tank is 13-17 inches tall.
Sorry I must not have found it!
Thank you, I'll go get one!
I'm going to look into the subject a bit more, because last winter it was quite cold in my room too.
It's 108 here
wow! That is hot!
My summer is 115-123 degrees
Right now we are around 110
What's the light at 2:05
Probably the Arcadia uv light
I'm purchasing a leopard gecko very soon (he's picked out, just waiting to be paid for and he is being shipped in a few days:D ) and his terrarium is all set up, but I just checked the temperatures and its 96 degrees on the hot side. The cool side is doing well, staying at about 72 degrees. How can I cool down my hot side? I want to get this figured out before the gecko comes, as i don't want him being too warm. Can anyone help me? How do I get the temperature to a more appropriate range?
*LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES LATER AND IT NOW SAYS IT IS AT 102 DEGREES. IS THIS A PROBLEM WITH MY THERMOMETER OR WHAT I JUST GOT THIS THERMOMETER TODAY (IT'S ONE WITH A PROBE, THE PROBE IS IN THE HOT HIDE)*
Ali Beecroft how did you fix it?
can you help me please I just started using eco earth for my leopard geckos but it won't dry out I live in London how do I dry it???
It takes a few days to dry completely, leave it in a warm room
+Emily Dunlea thanks this whole time I left it in a cold room
it can take ages, I tend to make it up a few weeks in advance now, so that it will dry out as much as possible. you can always buy it pre-made and dry. But for now, if it keeps creating too much condensation, wipe down the walls and roof twice a day, that should remove some of the moisture.
+Leopard Gecko thank you so much your always the best person to ask for help👍
I don't see the problem, I have a house that's bad w/insulation and I live in south east texas. My two leos and beardie are thriving 😕
yeah, but you don't have cresties lol. I was talking about animals like cresties who don't do well in hot weather e.g over 30oC.
+Leopard Gecko oooh ok I understand then lol love your vids! big reason I got my two leos. :)
Great Video! Any names for a male crested gecko and a female crested gecko?
Hecate is the ancient Greek goddess of magic, I'd like that name for a female. If you're interested in Pokémon, you could name the geckos Dragonite, Charmander, Deino (which happens to be the Greek for "terrible", Deino-Saur meaning "terrible lizard" even though dinosaurs weren't lizards)
Im very much into different more abstracts names like Artemis, the greek goddess but for a male, Forrest because thats my gecko. But ik not alot of people like the same names as me but these are just some more suggestions
Female:
Misty- bc you mist crested geckos
Rain- because they live in the Rain Forrest
Artemis- a dark colored gecko
Mila
Male:
Forrest- bc they live in the RainForrest (but spelt with two rs)
Apollo- another dark colored gecko
George
Leafy- like the youtuber and because they live in the trees
Nidoking/Nidoqueen
for female Ecko. My female flame is named that :D
Luna
My tank does NOT have a wire mesh lid... besides the water bottle, anyone have any suggestions? Or should I jut buy a wire mesh lid :P I think I should but... you know xD Thanks!
NEVERMIND
Hi Rebecca! I hope you're reading this :). I have a female crested gecko. I had it for a few months now but recently I've realized that she is sleeping and spending most of her time on the glass walls. Is that a bad thing? Also I've noticed that she is getting a little more aggressive :( . I'm doing everything I can to spend more time with her. Also should I bring her outside (in my backyard in a box with holes so she can breath)?
I have a crested gecko for about a year now so I guess I can answer your question for you. I wouldn't be worried about her being out and on the walls. My crested gecko does that sometimes. Letting her outside is the question that's going to be the hardest for me to answer. I don't take my gecko outside just because he is was to jumpy and will always be. If yours is chill go ahead and take her out, but I would do it in an open space because these guys can be quick. I will also do it where there can be nothing that can harm them. If you have her in your hand that's fine. I hope I answered your question. If not ask and I will love to help you out.
+Elizabeth Biddle hello! thank you so much! I guess I would bring her outside. she is very jumpy and very fast :)
+Jellolicious- Minecraft & More! when they're young they do that a lot!
I wouldn't take her outside. The glass thing is totally normal. And not sure about the aggressive thing, have you tried feeding her a few live insects here and there, so she can use that energy on something positive?
+Leopard Gecko i have tried to feed her tiny crickets, but she didnt like them. she also doesnt like the pangea insect mix, but i have tried to put 70 percent the banana one and 30 percent insect mix. She likes it that way. Thanks for the reply.
my leopard gecko has shed like 4 times in a month he eats like a pig but is shedding so much for a leopard gecko good or bad someone help me plz thank you!!!???
I guess if he's eating lots then he's probably shedding so often due to weight gain/growing. Though that it still quite a lot.
You should make one but how to keep it warm in cold weather for leopard geckos
She already has
Can you post the link i cant find it thanks
It's under the section health, husbandry and taming
thats way easier. It's easier to heat up then cool down. Get a CHE on a thermostat, thats it.
I don't know if you will read this but I would like to thank you, my gecko is healthier than ever,I thought it was a boy and named him Edgar I watched your videos and realized that it was a female! Her name is Skittles and i will soon be pairing her with my newest addition , a female named Gummy!!!
aww that's so cute! You're welcome, I'm glad ive been able to help :D
I dont know if you'll see this but what video does she explain how to tell the gender of your crested gecko?
