FBH says a 4x4x5 SVL for Created geckos, with the average SVL on a crested gecko being 4.5 inches, the minimum enclosure size is 18x18x22.5 making an 18x18x24 an acceptable size!
I love watching you put the tanks together as well! I especially like this one! I would love to see a new corn snake video from you guys! My baby is about to be a juvenile in just a few days! It's been a challenging 3 months, but we are coming onto the next phase in great shape. I was just not prepared for a baby snake! The size alone was intimidating, but he's growing wildly and holding him feels better now! Have a great week ahead!
I didn't know they updated the minimums to 18*18*36! Thanks for sharing. Guess I'll be going shopping. Also here to just add the clear globe with moss has a hole in the top and the cresties can get stuck in there and injured! Never happened to me but thought you might want to fill in that hole just to be safe. Thanks so much for your content Elle!
Haha duck eggs are great. One of our dogs keeps stealing the eggs 🙃 but until recently, we hadn't had to buy eggs from the store in over a year. It was so nice 🥹
This was awesome and super helpful as someone who has never done this and is looking to get their first crestie and hoping to create a similar space for them to thrive. Thanks for this.
how have you found the screen sides holding up? i'd like to get my boy a screen enclosure but i'm worried about the strength as he throws himself around so much!
She's been absolutely loving it! It definitely doesn't hold humidity like a more "traditional" crested gecko tank, but I've actually been preferring this sort of tank. And the plants are doing great, too!
I love these videos. You help give me ideas for my reptiles. Now I have a question for you and or all your fans. I have an old aquarium in the garage. It's 4ft long, 2ft tall, and 1ft deep. I don't want to just get rid of it. What would be a good snake that could live in this thinner tank? I was thinking a Rosy Boa, or Corn snake? Any good recommendations?
Question - I got a tank and did not do the spray foam thing first for the "backdrop" but already got plants and such in the terrarium. Any tips or help with a good background that I can slap in there ? Cork board is what i'm thinking rn but any tips/ideas would be appreciated
It's from Etsy! I linked the shop in the description box, but I think they're currently taking a break. She loves that tire swing - I got her a coconut hide to sleep in, and she still shoves herself inside the tire every morning 😅
I'm low key so confused on whats the best size for new gecko 😂 literally everyone says different sizes bc of their eating patterns, but what size enclosure you rec for a 10 month old crested gecko? Getting her in a couple months when she's a bit older but i want to be confident she's gonna be able to feel comfortable enough to want to eat, etc..
The "minimum size" requirements only just increased to an 18''x18''x36'' for an adult in the last year. So that's probably why you're seeing multiple different size recommendations. 😅 But it also really does depend on the gecko. If it were me, I would try to start a 10 month old out in an 18''x18''x36'', that way I wouldn't have to buy multiple sized enclosures. But there IS always the possibility that the enclosure could be too big for the gecko (especially if it's on the smaller size), and they could have trouble finding their food. If that's the case, you can downsize or just provide multiple feeding areas throughout the tank. Sorry that's not a direct answer, but all geckos are different, so it's hard to have a one size fits all answer.
Hi :) I made a cave out of foam insulation board and covered it with clay and sand. What clear coat would be safe to put over top? I thought since you’re so informative you may know of something I can use? I’ve been searching online, but I’m scared of using something unsafe. I have an Egyptian baby uromastyx.
Since I live in the south (and my AC is never set low) during the spring/summer I don't use a heat source. But during the late fall/winter I previously used a heat mat with a thermostat. This year I'll probably use a deep heat projector set very low with a dimmer switch.

Today I learned what that little hole in the caulking gun is for.

You have great DIY ideas! I'm going to try something like background you did on my enclosure.
The enclosure looks AMAZING!!!
Good day Elle , interesting and a wealth of information! Have a good week.

Good morning Elle, hope you have an amazing Sunday!! I always enjoy watching you build tanks because you are so creative in doing so!! 😊
Awww thank you 💜
Have an amazing week! 😊
@@ellesreptiles you are welcome and thank you!! 😊
Ohhhh, Elle, duck eggs! I'll buy some any old time. Great looking tank and adorable gecko.
Haha duck eggs are great. One of our dogs keeps stealing the eggs 🙃 but until recently, we hadn't had to buy eggs from the store in over a year. It was so nice 🥹
This tank turned out lovely! I really like it!
Thank you so much! 🥰

So glad it helped! 🥰
Ellie I love your videos so much and have been watching you for years hope you had an amazing Easter
Aww thank you so much for the support over the years 🥰 I did have a great Easter, thank you! I hope you did too!
Whoa the duck with the blue wing 😍
CaSandra Davila is your Biggest Fan 🙌
That turned out great. Do you have a mister on her tank to help keep the moisture up?
Thanks for sharing.
GOD BLESS 🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖
I've just been using a pump sprayer so far and misting every night. First full shed last night! 🎉
Great job 💚
Thank you 💜
how have you found the screen sides holding up? i'd like to get my boy a screen enclosure but i'm worried about the strength as he throws himself around so much!
CaSandra Davila wants a tank built by u lol 🙌😊😊
That’s what I keep my crestie in and he’s all over the place lol
She's been absolutely loving it!
It definitely doesn't hold humidity like a more "traditional" crested gecko tank, but I've actually been preferring this sort of tank. And the plants are doing great, too!
Congrats on 100,000!!!!
Thank you!!!! 🥰
Shes lil daredevil 🤣👍
Love this video, will be using it as a tutorial. :) Also: Quack quack, don't do that!
😂 glad you liked the video!

I love these videos. You help give me ideas for my reptiles.
Now I have a question for you and or all your fans.
I have an old aquarium in the garage. It's 4ft long, 2ft tall, and 1ft deep.
I don't want to just get rid of it.
What would be a good snake that could live in this thinner tank? I was thinking a Rosy Boa, or Corn snake?
Any good recommendations?
How do people hide the thermostat probe in these setups? I never see them
Question - I got a tank and did not do the spray foam thing first for the "backdrop" but already got plants and such in the terrarium. Any tips or help with a good background that I can slap in there ? Cork board is what i'm thinking rn but any tips/ideas would be appreciated
Where is the tire swing from? It's SO cute!!
It's from Etsy! I linked the shop in the description box, but I think they're currently taking a break.
She loves that tire swing - I got her a coconut hide to sleep in, and she still shoves herself inside the tire every morning 😅
I thought it was 18X 18X24

@@ellesreptiles dang that's a big ass tank lmaoo, but i'll try it out! & oh no you only really helped me out here thank you!

Are isopods rolly pollies? they look like it
Yea they are, some people also call them potato bugs or wood lice 😁
Hi, would you want another crested gecko
Hi :) I made a cave out of foam insulation board and covered it with clay and sand. What clear coat would be safe to put over top? I thought since you’re so informative you may know of something I can use? I’ve been searching online, but I’m scared of using something unsafe. I have an Egyptian baby uromastyx.
Maybe try a moss grown over it
Hey Elle do I have to feed my spotted gecko? bugs.?
Spotted gecko, like a leopard gecko? If so, yes, they are insectivores and should be fed a variety of gutloaded bugs at every feeding
Does anyone know if you have to use a mesh enclosure? Or could I use a regular terrarium for this setup?
It’s actually preferable that you use a glass or pvc terrarium, this is just what she had on hand
What was your heat source
Since I live in the south (and my AC is never set low) during the spring/summer I don't use a heat source. But during the late fall/winter I previously used a heat mat with a thermostat. This year I'll probably use a deep heat projector set very low with a dimmer switch.
@@ellesreptiles can you run a heat mat behind the foam background?
@@ourlife13no, it'd be on the side
@@ellesreptiles ok thank you
How is your chameleon doing? 💚
Mumbo jumbo outro
