I will say with the canopy feeder, that might work pretty well with some smaller fruit eating geckos like mourning geckos. Also you can reuse water bottle caps instead of those cups and it works just as well
When I’m older I want to get a leopard gecko and I’m always always always gonna watch your videos even if I don’t want a leopard gecko any more I will still watch your videos! ❤️
My entries for leopard gecko keeping - Best videos: 1. Leopard Gecko - go get 'em Rebecca 2. A few other folks have some, let's be nice Best products I use now (U.S.): 1. Plastic or wood reptile cages or plastic tubs/rack of appropriate size; 2. Zoo med or exo terra or similar gecko caves; 3. THG or Flexwatt heat tape or ultratherm heat mats; 4. any proportional thermostat. Products I have used but now do not due to better options out there: 1. Any reptile carpet 2. Glass tanks w/ screen tops 3. Screen tops 4. Glass tanks 5. Glass 6. Screen .... and lastly, 7. Glass tanks w/ screen tops.
Jake's Reptiles i use zoomed starter kits and i kinda love them i just feel like there is something missing... But we have different opinions so it doesn't matter
LydiaLPS34 That would be a perk, until you look at the prices of them. They’re extremely overpriced and the build quality of the terrarium and products in general is just bad and not made well.
LydiaLPS34 the price is insane for the cost. Buy a tank off of craiglist. I got a 48 by 18 by 18 tank for 100 dollars. At the stores near me, that is 180~200 dollars
Leopard Gecko the worst by far is ZooMed Undertank heaters a I had one for my leopard gecko and it caught on fire in the first couple of days, we went to a pure reptile expo and talked about it and they said that they hate them they always caught on fire, and then the never used them again
I regretted the heat mats I bought for my crested gecko to put on the side of the tank. They never worked well so now i use a ceramics heat bulb attached to the exoterra thermostat and that works well
Agreed with everything here except the cricket keeper, they have a bunch of different sizes! I have a massive one and it holds 250-300 crickets (1/4-1/2 inch) no problem!
im getting a leo on sunday so exited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your such an insipiration for youtubers like me trying to find their place in youtube! thanks for your vids! i know you wont see this but your the greatest
I once purchased a massive preformed concrete hide that was probably 1ft wide 1ft long and 8in high. Geckos liked varied smaller hides and this had three openings that made her feel vulnerable. she never used it. Hated IT! *English accent*
When I first got my leopard gecko I bought a cricket keeper tbh. The problem I had with them is the slits in the lid were too big so the crickets were able to escape, so I put tape over most of the slits, and because of this plus the lack of room the crickets died quickly. I found that using a big plastic tupperware container with holes in the lid worked much better and they lived for a while.
Worst product for me was a large surface area water supply, when I used it in my gecko's cage, it created a natural condensation on the top of the cage that consistently made the eco earth get moldy when it dripped back down. I had to use paper towels every morning to clean up excess water. Now I use it as a big feeding dish
I have been seriously considering getting a leopard gecko and during my research i stumbled across your channel.you have provided me with sooooo much info and I probably have watched at least half of your videos in the least like three days or so
Loved this video! Very helpful! I was considering adding a drainage layer to my crested gecko's vivarium so I will definently buy that fleece mat you reccomended! One product to never buy: exo terra dripper plant. I dont know about other people's experiences with this product, but my dripper plant has many problems. It gets clogged, it makes way to much noise, it sometimes takes hours to turn on and the artificial leaves are hard to position into the right place. The leaves are also very hard to clean. I never saw my crestie drink from it and now I just use it as a decoration.
One of my biggest regrets has been buying the Wipe Out ZooMed terrarium cleaner. It says to drench the glass in it, wait 5 minutes, and then wipe it. 1. In order to even wet a whole terrarium you are using so much and 2. It dries within seconds? It didn't even clean that well, and they charge quite a bit for a small thing too.
ah that sucks :/ yeah i know the exo terra one said a certain time to leave it on for, but i always leave it on a bit longer and it does a pretty good job :)
TigerSwipes for my cresties, I used to use tap water but noticed the calcium stains, whenever I clean the tank I use water and a razor to scrape the marks off
Leopard Gecko Yeah, may need to try the one you recommended. It dries so fast that you can't even clean with it. Figured it would be good for its price and size but nope.
joker Airsoft That's a good point about the scraper. I used to just use water, but had to keep traveling back and forth to our sink to do much of anything. I'll need to find a new way to do that haha.
So I know that a lot of people use UVB with their leos, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm even one of those people that say if your leopard gecko does not hunt and accepts worms from tongs, you can keep them on sand if you're crazy enough. BUT I have found an easier and far cheaper alternative to UVB lights. Most leos will intuitively learn, even if they've never done it before, to go out at night and lap up calcium powder/multivitamins from a dish. It's the coolest thing, they somehow know that whatever's in the dish is good for them. I've had great success with it, and so has a few friends who recently got leos for the first time. Just a neat leo hack I found.
I have this shop near me where I got my Leopard gecko (the one on my icon) and the products they sold are amazing, I loved them. But the animals in the shop were healthy, well until you went into Th back of the shop...the animals were unhealthy and skinny, adult Leopard geckos were kept in lunchboxes and snakes were in far too small vivariums. I took home my gecko and she loved her new hone and she seemed releived to be in a new home
I have a large cricket keeper and go through crickets rather quickly so I find the cricket keeper quite useful, I put some calcium powder in a ziploc bag and shake a tube it there, give the bag a shake, and take out my crickets with tweezers or dump them in a dish depending on who’s getting their dinner.
Fiona Shepley I’m giving them to my cresties and a garg, their vitamins are in their Pangea, but ever other feeding I add multivitamin to the mix. My beardie gets multivitamins with her mix.
I had trouble with the Zoo Med reptile rock combo dishes. I think I got a small but they worked horribly for me. I thought I could use them for my mealworms and was so happy when I saw none in the bowl I had put in my tank, I thought my gecko (who was new at that time) had eaten! But it turns out the mealworms were just crawling out and hiding in the tank! Way too shallow for feeder insects, I ended up getting a cheap food bowl with a curved rim from Petco which works great. Don't waste your money!
Worst product would be Vita Sand, the sand with calcium mixed in. I straight-up refuse to order this in for customers.Love the Glass Cleaner, the only Exo Terra product I adore! Haha!!
My gecko has that combo canopy dish (I got her and her tank from someone who’s children didn’t really want her anymore) and really doesn’t care for it (but to be honest she doesn’t really care much about food).
I regretted the leash. Sahyu is very energetic, but is also a curious little escape artist. I thought the leash would be good for us both. We both wound up miserable about it instead. Top 10 Anime Saddest Moments. So I wound up getting her a jungle gym instead and we are both like it.
I loved the video! I remember regretting buying the National Geographic waterfall watering dish for my gecko. I hated it because it made weird noises and and the water kept getting foamy and dirty. So excited that your almost 100000 subs! Are you gonna do something special for it? :)
I instantly regretted buying one of those cheap analog humidity readers. I put it in my crested geckos tank and it came with sticky tape. I didn't bother with that cause I was afraid that it would fall off because of the humidity. So I put it on the Pangea acrylic food ledge. When I first put it in, it read 99. I thought is was broken because it was in the afternoon and I only mist in the evening and very lightly in the morning. Apparently, it WAS broken and it stays at 99 . Still have to this day in a cabinet and its still at 99. Lol. That was a really long comment
I got the 18" jungle dawn led for my viv on her suggestion, and I love it. Great channel, even though I was late to the party, as they say. Seems basically defunct now? Might just be freaking youtube
Definitely one of my favorite youtubers. Geckos are love. But it might also be because I picture Emma Watson. xD My American ears can't tell the difference.
Great video! Good info, I love videos like these. The only thing I can really think of regretting is using crickets as feeders, they are nasty lol! Dubias are way better, I have a colony of those and mealworms and I haven’t bought feeders in ages. (I’m not judging you for using them though)
disagree about critter keeper. i have the biggest one and use that with a tub, works great. i mhave larger enclosure and can carry all feeders in one box and give food precisely. wish had arcadia here mid buy it
I HATED buying my ZooMed Wipe Out 1 (a disenfectant). It just sent me leopard gecko into an absolute craze. He stopped eating well, wouldn't let me handle him, was constantly spooked, etc. For some reason he just DESPISED the disenfectant and it was my worst purchase. I frankly just use hot water now.
I love your channel! Thanks to watching your channel I now own 2 beautiful crested geckos and am about to collect a leopard gecko! Thank you for introducing me to geckos! XxXxXx
Kriket keeper, but the thing is is that i have no personal money so my parents buy my lizard stuff, and they buy the sand no matter how many times i tell them not to, they always say "the pet store told me to" and "its cheaper than that eco earth shit" please help
Is it calcium sand? If it is, it MUST be removed! Normal sand can be used safely if you keep the Leo healthy. Tell your parents that pet stores don't give good advice. Eco earth is actually cheaper since you only have to change it every six months. Hope this helps!
Christ people are so dramatic, sand isn’t going to instantly kill your gecko, yes it is a risk and not the best substrate but it gets blown way out of proportion. Just ask them for a scrap of Lino flooring or something, probably get some free and then easy maintenance forever
I’ve never had a reptile before but I have had a hamster in the first thing I regretted ever buying for the hamster was a hamster ball with big holes in it it it would do number two everywhere
I regret buying a starter kit for my leopard gecko because it costed me around $150 CDN and all I ended up keeping from it is the tank. I could've saved a buttload of money by just going on Kijiji...
Every Kritter Keeper I had that I was using to gut load crickets for my Bearded Dragon, somehow wouldn't keep the kritters in the keeper! Me being afraid of bugs would wake up to feed my Beardie only to find my cat pouncing on numerous rougue crickets that managed to escape. My cat was happy, but I was NOT! The product itself is a nice concept but obviously a flaw within it's design. They need to go back and start over maybe? Thank goodness now, my local pet store here in U S sells their crickets pre gut loaded so my newly acquired Leopard Gecko should be a happy and healthy camper, and make me more at ease as well. Good vid, btw. Also, a quick question plz. I have a UV light. Will it be OK until I get I get a UVB ? I am very confused about properly lighting and gettung Manson's temp to par. Do I even need a heat or basking lamp if he/it has an UTH? The temp is only around 78 degrees, and I fear that is too cold. Right now I have the Zoo Med Day/Night Desert Lighting Kit which includes a 75 watt Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp and a 75 watt ReptiBasking Spot Lamp. Manson is just a little fellow, I purchased him from my favorite pet store and he seems to be adjusting well considering my ignorance, even tho I've tried to do as much researc h before getting him. I'm just an overly concernced new Gecko mom with OCD. I need some advice fast as I am very attached to this new guy and he already appears to recognize me. AWW :) BTW, love the UK, My BFF if over there, so I understood when she spoke of "pounds". So I died laffing @ Maruzo's comment. LOL
Where do you find a good magnet-canopy feeder? My nearest pet shop only has the sticky ones... I got mine supported by a branch atm so hopefully it won't fall.
Ugh! About a quarter of a year ago, I got my first reptile (an albino leopard gecko, I adopted him from a family that had him for over two years), I went to my local pet shop and they said that the cricket keeper thingy works amazingly and so many people have it, so I bought it. I paid nearly $30 for it (or close to 22£) and I used it once! The crickets had no space and died in less than a week! Now it just sits in my room with absolutely no purpose. I don't even feed him crickets anymore, I changed his diet over to super-worms which I keep in the container they come in. I've never regretted buying an item more than that stupid cricket keeper.
yeah those things are just useless and its easier to just pick up the insects with your hands rather than the tubes lol. I would suggest offering a bit more variety in the way of food though, i offer super worms/morio worms only once in a while as they're not really healthy for them, but good as part of a varied diet :)
A couple of months ago I bought the Komodo infrared bulb for my Sulcata tortoise. It was working fine until it just blew up. I wouldn't really recommend Komodo products
My gecko hates me I go to pick it up the way u showed us and it started wagging its tail I was like oh no I can’t handle it cuz it’s stressed that’s a sign of stressed and yes I love you and all the things u do for ur fans making them have pet reptiles cuz u can save some reptiles by convincing us to get one and yes u made me get a gecko cuz they are cute and yes I love reptiles
I don't have any geckos but I love your channel! I do want a gecko but I don't have the money at the moment (I'm 14 and I don't have a job). I can currently pay for my bearded dragon, my snake, and my dog with money I get from holidays and my birthday.
We were given a heating rock along with our rescue geckos. However, we were told to never use it because it can burn them?! So is it just because it's a rock? Or why are the heating pads better? Do they go under sand?
Hey please I need to know. Is it okay that I keep my heat mat on from 7am to 10pm at 88F. I'm confused if I should keep it on longer or since my house is around 72F at night is that warm enough for my leopard gecko?

i keep forgeting you dont live in america so when you say like "It was around 45 pounds" im like: WHY IS IT SO HEAVY
maruzo OMG. American struggle 😊😄😢😅
maruzo lol😹
Lol I’m in England when someone said dollars I have to work out how much it will cost 😂
@@thingsnstuff7526 ikr!
Lol!
bought a mealworm feeder...put mealworms in it...leo thought it was a toilet
@Darío oh boy..
Closer and closer to a face reveal every video! (;
Simple Flame she has revealed her face already!
Simple Flame just go on Instagram
Angelisanangel_ she is very beautiful
Simple Flame Just go on instagram, you can see her there
Simple Flame she reveald her face several times at instagram
I bought a turtle dock for my crested gecko without realising it needs water to float on😫 but I made it work and now it's his favourite spot!!😁😁
Actually, in the US, we can get huuuge Kricket Keepers!
Lizzy Busch ikr my house is one
You can actually get them in the UK. The small ones are useless but the big ones are great in my opinion.
Yeah, for $25
The big ones must be a little over priced.
Max Heinz They're only about £15 I think, which isn't that bad for what you get. Definitely can't beat RUBs though!
Hi, great video. My juvenile male leopard gecko just passed away, due to parasites. I just wanted to say thank you for all the information and help.
Nice calm crested gecko you have there
haha yep :)
And it's SOOOOOO pretty
I will say with the canopy feeder, that might work pretty well with some smaller fruit eating geckos like mourning geckos. Also you can reuse water bottle caps instead of those cups and it works just as well
When I’m older I want to get a leopard gecko and I’m always always always gonna watch your videos even if I don’t want a leopard gecko any more I will still watch your videos! ❤️
Can you do like a video COMPLETELY dedicated to gutloading mealworms and crickets?
Advice for anyone living in England you can get pressure sprayers from pound land from the gardening section and they work like a charm
My entries for leopard gecko keeping -
Best videos:
1. Leopard Gecko - go get 'em Rebecca
2. A few other folks have some, let's be nice
Best products I use now (U.S.):
1. Plastic or wood reptile cages or plastic tubs/rack of appropriate size; 2. Zoo med or exo terra or similar gecko caves; 3. THG or Flexwatt heat tape or ultratherm heat mats; 4. any proportional thermostat.
Products I have used but now do not due to better options out there:
1. Any reptile carpet 2. Glass tanks w/ screen tops 3. Screen tops 4. Glass tanks 5. Glass 6. Screen .... and lastly, 7. Glass tanks w/ screen tops.
Worst Reptile Product - ZooMed Starter Kits...
haha yeah, ive had a brief look at them before lol
Jake's Reptiles i use zoomed starter kits and i kinda love them i just feel like there is something missing... But we have different opinions so it doesn't matter
LydiaLPS34 That would be a perk, until you look at the prices of them. They’re extremely overpriced and the build quality of the terrarium and products in general is just bad and not made well.
LydiaLPS34 the price is insane for the cost. Buy a tank off of craiglist. I got a 48 by 18 by 18 tank for 100 dollars. At the stores near me, that is 180~200 dollars
Leopard Gecko the worst by far is ZooMed Undertank heaters a I had one for my leopard gecko and it caught on fire in the first couple of days, we went to a pure reptile expo and talked about it and they said that they hate them they always caught on fire, and then the never used them again
I regretted the heat mats I bought for my crested gecko to put on the side of the tank. They never worked well so now i use a ceramics heat bulb attached to the exoterra thermostat and that works well
Cricket keeper works for me
Agreed with everything here except the cricket keeper, they have a bunch of different sizes! I have a massive one and it holds 250-300 crickets (1/4-1/2 inch) no problem!
7:24 Half-face reveal, you're welcome
im getting a leo on sunday so exited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your such an insipiration for youtubers like me trying to find their place in youtube! thanks for your vids! i know you wont see this but your the greatest
I once purchased a massive preformed concrete hide that was probably 1ft wide 1ft long and 8in high. Geckos liked varied smaller hides and this had three openings that made her feel vulnerable. she never used it. Hated IT! *English accent*
wow haha that was a bit hide, lol. I remember ordered two half log hides, but they were absolutely tiny lol, like 4cm tall, :')
When I first got my leopard gecko I bought a cricket keeper tbh. The problem I had with them is the slits in the lid were too big so the crickets were able to escape, so I put tape over most of the slits, and because of this plus the lack of room the crickets died quickly. I found that using a big plastic tupperware container with holes in the lid worked much better and they lived for a while.
Please make a part 2 🙂
I was secretly hoping for a video like this. Thank you for making it into a reality!
Worst product for me was a large surface area water supply, when I used it in my gecko's cage, it created a natural condensation on the top of the cage that consistently made the eco earth get moldy when it dripped back down. I had to use paper towels every morning to clean up excess water. Now I use it as a big feeding dish
Thanks! This was very educational and a good video as always. :D
I’m using a small kricket keeper and I’ve realised they do seem to be not slashing long so I’ll hopefully buy a larger one soon ♡
I have been seriously considering getting a leopard gecko and during my research i stumbled across your channel.you have provided me with sooooo much info and I probably have watched at least half of your videos in the least like three days or so
Love your crested gecko-so cute!
Loved this video! Very helpful! I was considering adding a drainage layer to my crested gecko's vivarium so I will definently buy that fleece mat you reccomended! One product to never buy: exo terra dripper plant. I dont know about other people's experiences with this product, but my dripper plant has many problems. It gets clogged, it makes way to much noise, it sometimes takes hours to turn on and the artificial leaves are hard to position into the right place. The leaves are also very hard to clean.

Leopard Gecko Yeah, may need to try the one you recommended. It dries so fast that you can't even clean with it. Figured it would be good for its price and size but nope.
joker Airsoft That's a good point about the scraper. I used to just use water, but had to keep traveling back and forth to our sink to do much of anything. I'll need to find a new way to do that haha.
I’m getting a baby leopard gecko today and I’m so excited
So I know that a lot of people use UVB with their leos, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm even one of those people that say if your leopard gecko does not hunt and accepts worms from tongs, you can keep them on sand if you're crazy enough.

Sage Exotics what about multivitamins? I’d dust with calcium every other feeding and vitamins every three feedings, they don’t need it every feeding.
Fiona Shepley
I’m giving them to my cresties and a garg, their vitamins are in their Pangea, but ever other feeding I add multivitamin to the mix. My beardie gets multivitamins with her mix.
Sage Exotics in that case they only need supplements on their insects.
A “premium” bearded dragon from PetSmart. He wouldn’t move much and only had one eye he passed 3 years later, sadly.
I had trouble with the Zoo Med reptile rock combo dishes. I think I got a small but they worked horribly for me. I thought I could use them for my mealworms and was so happy when I saw none in the bowl I had put in my tank, I thought my gecko (who was new at that time) had eaten!

Don't waste your money!
Exoterra canopy cave falled,twice! Luckily she was on another hide. But i have cricket feeder with same tape and it works becouse its smaller
what program or programs do you use to edit your videos? they are always such good quality and edited so well!
aw thanks - powerdirector 15 :)
subbed since 1k huge congrats!!!!🎉🎉🎉
aww thank you :D
This is so helpful thank you so much lizard God 😭😭
I use the canopy feeding dish and it fell a few minutes after i attached it to the vivarium wall
Worst product would be Vita Sand, the sand with calcium mixed in. I straight-up refuse to order this in for customers.Love the Glass Cleaner, the only Exo Terra product I adore! Haha!!
A Leopard Gecko video the day before my birthday?! Awesome!
Cool video!!!!!😁👍
thanks :)
Leopard Gecko your welcome!!!😉
I like excavator sand
Also congrats on 90k
Yeah I didn’t like the kricket thing also they kept jumping out of it because it was to short
My gecko has that combo canopy dish (I got her and her tank from someone who’s children didn’t really want her anymore) and really doesn’t care for it (but to be honest she doesn’t really care much about food).
I use a kriter keper and it is better then my old keeper and they last long in mine and its so easy to get the crickets out of there
I regretted the leash. Sahyu is very energetic, but is also a curious little escape artist. I thought the leash would be good for us both. We both wound up miserable about it instead. Top 10 Anime Saddest Moments. So I wound up getting her a jungle gym instead and we are both like it.

Nevermind. Still seems to be going strong. Big ups
I love your videos learning so much from these..they are interesting
Nice video Rebecca, thanks for posting!
Congrats!!!! Great video!looking forward for 100.000 subs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Me and my gecko are watching ur videos keep up the work
Definitely one of my favorite youtubers.
Geckos are love.
But it might also be because I picture Emma Watson. xD My American ears can't tell the difference.
hahaa aw thank you :')
ok thx Lin

Maybe show them the dear pet Co video, as it states that leopard geckos should NOT be kept on sand
paper towels!!!!
Christ people are so dramatic, sand isn’t going to instantly kill your gecko, yes it is a risk and not the best substrate but it gets blown way out of proportion. Just ask them for a scrap of Lino flooring or something, probably get some free and then easy maintenance forever
Show them some pictures of geckos who lived on sand and have died. Show them the Dear Petco video
I’ve never had a reptile before but I have had a hamster in the first thing I regretted ever buying for the hamster was a hamster ball with big holes in it it it would do number two everywhere
I put 27 crickets in that exact keeper and only 6 lived for more then 2 days
I regret buying a starter kit for my leopard gecko because it costed me around $150 CDN and all I ended up keeping from it is the tank. I could've saved a buttload of money by just going on Kijiji...
Do you think the Cricket keeper would be worth it if i only had two dozen crickets at max at a time?
No never lasted at least a day for me for a dozen, usually after 2 days I have 4 left
One time I bought a light for my Leo. Mistake. The daytime side did not work so we bought a better one.
Kritter keepers are hellish to get the top off too!
yeah haha
I have 3 Kritter Keepers and they all have at least 1 broken corner because of this 😂
Every Kritter Keeper I had that I was using to gut load crickets for my Bearded Dragon, somehow wouldn't keep the kritters in the keeper!

Right now I have the Zoo Med Day/Night Desert Lighting Kit which includes a 75 watt Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp and a 75 watt ReptiBasking Spot Lamp. Manson is just a little fellow, I purchased him from my favorite pet store and he seems to be adjusting well considering my ignorance, even tho I've tried to do as much researc h before getting him. I'm just an overly concernced new Gecko mom with OCD. I need some advice fast as I am very attached to this new guy and he already appears to recognize me. AWW :) BTW, love the UK, My BFF if over there, so I understood when she spoke of "pounds". So I died laffing @ Maruzo's comment. LOL
Great vid
When you reach 100k do a live stream!!!
I bought the microclimate because you recommended it in your previous videos😅
i dont use the kritter keepers for my crickets i use it for when i clean his cage
Your my favourite youtuber
aww thank you :)
Recommended heat mats in US? My under tank 1s always seem to unstick after a period of time & I don't have experience with any in tank 1s yet...
Where do you find a good magnet-canopy feeder? My nearest pet shop only has the sticky ones...
I got mine supported by a branch atm so hopefully it won't fall.
Ugh! About a quarter of a year ago, I got my first reptile (an albino leopard gecko, I adopted him from a family that had him for over two years), I went to my local pet shop and they said that the cricket keeper thingy works amazingly and so many people have it, so I bought it. I paid nearly $30 for it (or close to 22£) and I used it once! The crickets had no space and died in less than a week! Now it just sits in my room with absolutely no purpose. I don't even feed him crickets anymore, I changed his diet over to super-worms which I keep in the container they come in. I've never regretted buying an item more than that stupid cricket keeper.
yeah those things are just useless and its easier to just pick up the insects with your hands rather than the tubes lol. I would suggest offering a bit more variety in the way of food though, i offer super worms/morio worms only once in a while as they're not really healthy for them, but good as part of a varied diet :)
A couple of months ago I bought the Komodo infrared bulb for my Sulcata tortoise. It was working fine until it just blew up. I wouldn't really recommend Komodo products
Yes, I made the mistake of buying a cricket keeper, they don't last even a day 😕
I hate that we still can't get Habistat's in the US...It makes me sad because I literally never hear any negatives about them.
I've had some good luck with my cricket keeper so far I only need them to last for a couple weeks so maybe that is why
Dealsiraye Washington Yea I just got one. And I only get 20 a time. My baby eats 4 or 5 a day. So only need to last less than a week.
My gecko hates me I go to pick it up the way u showed us and it started wagging its tail I was like oh no I can’t handle it cuz it’s stressed that’s a sign of stressed and yes I love you and all the things u do for ur fans making them have pet reptiles cuz u can save some reptiles by convincing us to get one and yes u made me get a gecko cuz they are cute and yes I love reptiles
Oh no...not me just buying the canopy feeder before watching this video :'(
You have evolved so much since 72k :)
I regret the mister I got for my ball python. It just drenched her and didn't help with her dehydration problem. And it was $80 too. ☹️
You can just use garden tarp
I don't have any geckos but I love your channel! I do want a gecko but I don't have the money at the moment (I'm 14 and I don't have a job). I can currently pay for my bearded dragon, my snake, and my dog with money I get from holidays and my birthday.
great camera!
thanks :)
The immediate thing in my head, calcium sand
A dimmer switch. They do not regulate the heat mats properly.
A zoomed hide it broke instantly
When are you doing another livestream on younow? I enjoyed the livestream yesterday very much!
Worst thing is a moss ball for my Turtle it was supposed to get rid of algae but all he did was eat it
What do you think of gecko bookshelf terrariums?
Brynna Norris they sound good
I would really like to know what should the ambient temperature of a leo enclosure be?? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere!!
We were given a heating rock along with our rescue geckos. However, we were told to never use it because it can burn them?! So is it just because it's a rock? Or why are the heating pads better? Do they go under sand?
Hey please I need to know. Is it okay that I keep my heat mat on from 7am to 10pm at 88F. I'm confused if I should keep it on longer or since my house is around 72F at night is that warm enough for my leopard gecko?
i keep mine on all day and night, but i use a thermostat so the mat is set at about 90oF all the time.
Leopard Gecko you don't let it drop at night?
Steve Gee so it should be the same temp day and night??
Steve Gee okay thanks a lot
Love the vid
thanks :)
