I personally find cleaning all the habitats in our apartment to be very soothing and cathartic 😄
Great video! Especially for beginners still learning about reptiles!!!
Hopefully it helps someone out! 😊
It sure helped me!
Thanks for the information! Have a blessed week!
Same to you! 🥰
Nice! Love to see the maintenance side of things- it's not glamorous, but it's important!
Good morning Elle, great information as always. First enclosure cleaning video I’ve watched. The large deep sink is so nice to have! Have a great week 🙂
Thank you! And yes, love my sink. 🥰
It was being thrown out, so I got it for free, and I was so happy to be able to use it.
You're always helping me with these vids, TY😊 Also, I'm LOVE Your straight hair, SO GORGOUSE😍😍😍😍😍
Glad I could help!
And thank you 😊
Thanks Elle, really love your videos. 😀
Thank you so much!
Good morning Elle, have an amazing week!! Hope your Thanksgiving was amazing!!
Thank you! It was. I hope yours was as well 😁
Have a fantastic week!
@@ellesreptiles you're welcome! Mine was adventurous at best lol!! 😂😁
结尾这段话很有深意呀❤
I'm going to clean My Corn Snake Medusa's tank next week
I too use white vinegar to clean the glass and walls of my enclosures 😊
Goodmorning Elle
Great tips on cleaning.
I us 70% alcohol as disinfectant it also will kill mites if you worry about that plus it dries very kwikly. That of course is after you wash and clean.
GOD BLESS 🦎💖🐍💖🐸💖🐢💖
Oooh love that tip! 😊
Awesome video!! Just cleaned my beardie's tank today. Was wondering how to clean the fake plants and decors. Now I know I can use dish soap!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Great video! I’ve started adding more springtails to my enclosures too. Idk if it’s necessary, but it makes me feel better since it’s hard to see them.
Haha same reason I started adding more.
Sterling is soooo cute!!! He acts just like my female BP, Marie. She is so curious that she’s constantly in my way! I have an enclosed playpen that has all kinds of enrichment in it that she loves. I have to put her in there while cleaning or I’d never get it done. Then she doesn’t want to go back. Haha! The last time I did a full clean, she spent 4 and a half hours in her playpen before she finally put herself away, back into her enclosure. I love her! Darwin is easy. He just hides in his warm hide until I’m done. Then I go back later and clean his warm hide area when he moves. I love the difference in snake personalities. Great video, as always!!🐍❤️🐍
Having a playpen for them while you clean is such an amazing idea! Love that! 💜
Greetings! What cleaning process do you follow for new supplies?
Love your vids 🙏🏾🐍
Excellent and *very* helpful video, info you do not see much of! "Don't LICK MY TOES!" I laughed out loud.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
😂 I didn't like it. Thankfully she decided to glass surf another tank instead
i love your videos
I really enjoyed this video!! I’m gonna try to convince my mom for a leopard gecko I’ve wanted one for sooooo long.
Awww well good luck! 🥰
I cleaned all 6 of my tanks today
I'm with you on not cleaning everything water and food bowl together at once. I prefer to just clean one tank, fully, at a time. If for no other reason than it's so much easier to remember what goes where 🤣🤣
I may be weird, but I enjoy cleaning my tanks. Lol Mainly to rearrange things to give my animals a change of scenery. My BP loves to explore everything after and will often find new places to nap. Great video!
Love that! It's always helpful if you can find enjoyment in these "chores" 💜
when you add the spring tails do you just pour both them and the charcoal in?
What do you think about Wipeout for cleaning leopard gecko tanks
This reminds me of things I have to do every day at the child care center. I am like you in that I would feel weird if the water bowls were switched in and out.
Oh I bet! So much more cleaning (and more often) for you though. Thank you for all that you do! 💜
Just brought home my first leopard gecko. He’s still settling in and not eating (which I know is normal), but how long will they not eat before it’s cause for concern? Also, he was only fed wax worms at his last home, so any idea as to how to wean him to mealworms and Dubia roaches? Great videos, they’re so helpful!! ❤
I have a semi naturalistic, semi bioactive leopard gecko tank where I have live plants but no cleaner bugs so I still have to manually clean the soil. How could I clean something like that without disturbing or hurting the plants?
Hi, you talk about turning the lights off at night for leopard geckos, my ? How 5:19 do they keep warm if they don't have heat? Also, do you have basking and uvb lights on at the same time? How long ? I got a ziila kit from petco Day White Incandescent Bulb 50W and Night Black Incandescent bulb 50W. 2 spring clips are also included to easily mount the domes securely. Also Odor Reducing Terrarium Liner 20" x 10" that is made from an absorbent, non abrasive material and a Humidity & Temperature Gauge. I'm wondering if this is ok?
Hey Elle, do you ever stir up the substrate in your bioactive tanks? My ball python's has been going for about a year and I was wondering if it might be useful to mix in some new leaf litter and such.
Yes! I'll add new soil around plants sometimes, and definitely add new leaf litter for the cleanup crew.
I wish my ball pythons bioactives had worked 😅 so glad yours has!
@Elle's Reptiles there have been some plant casualties but it's doing pretty good overall! I started following your Instagram recently so hopefully I can submit mine for the next enclosure reaction video!
Hello. New leopard gecko owner here. Love your videos, they have been super helpful! I just have a couple quick questions. What time do the geckos wake up, with sundown starting at 4:30pm? What are the ideal temperatures for the cool, hot and humid hides? Thank you. Love your hoodie! Fellow Minnesotan here. ❤👋
I keep my cool side between 75-80°F and my hot side around 90-95°F. I’m not sure about the waking up part, but it prob depends on each gecko 😊
@@alexaalaimo4996 perfect. I have a heating pad and didn’t know that I needed a thermostat for it until today. Ordered one on Amazon and getting it tomorrow. Should I unplug it until I get the thermostat? What’s a good temperature to have it on during the day and a good temperature for a night? Thank you.
Goodmorning Elle! So now I have three ball pythons… 😅 how is your day going? How are Percy and sterling?
Awww I hope they're doing great! 🥰
Percy and sterling are fantastic. Sterling was in this video. Percy has been enjoying her new tank as well 😁
@@ellesreptiles yeah, after I watched I saw sterling! (He might be one of my favorite ball pythons ever lol)
Hey. I’m new to the community? But what’s the best way to submit tanks for “react videos ?
Welcome to the channel! 😊
When I'm about to record them, I'll post here on the community tab, and as an instagram story, asking for tank pictures. Then you can email them or send them as an Instagram DM. (Just don't send them early, or they'll get lost in the inboxes 😅)
@@ellesreptiles thanks 😁
Do you have videos about your enclosures in this video? Did you build them? What material is it? I hate my enclosures. Made of Melamine.
Yes! There are links to them in this video, and they're also the newer videos on the channel. One stack is from custom reptile habitats, and the other (the one with the ball python) is from custom cages. And the small gray one is from vision cages. The Custom Reptile Habitats stack is made from PVC, acrylic, and aluminum. And Custom Cages one is made from laminate, pvc, acrylic, and aluminum.
I love them both. But both come flat shipped and you have to build them yourself. It's time consuming (and slightly frustrating) but I think it's very much worth it!
@@ellesreptiles that's still great! It's a pity though, I don't live in America so it would cost me an arm and a leg to get it here. I was going to try build a decent one myself
Holy crap I can only imagine how long it’ll take to deep clean a 6 foot enclosure. Thank goodness I only have one snake that’ll need one later. Thank you for helping me decide not to get too many animals that’ll get over 6 feet long 🤣🤣🤣🤣 does it take longer to straighten out your hair versus cleaning out enclosures? 😂
😂 glad I could help in your decision.
My hair only takes an hour, so nope, the tanks take longer 😅 haha
@@ellesreptiles I figured that lol! You have way more animals & enclosures compared to one head full of hair 🤣🤣The size of the enclosure matters & the number of how many you have all tie in to the time it takes for cleaning.
BOOM! An AWE-SOME and much needed video young lady. We love, love chlorhexadine. A big jug from Tractor Supply Company lasts a long time. Cleaning vinegar keeps the glass shiny, shiny. Thanks for the fried gold edutainment guys.👍🏾🪖🦅🇺🇸
Vinegar! That was what I forgot to include! Thanks 🥰
