I just bought a smaller rack for 300... And saw this about a week after set up. TH-cam really needs to work on their algorithm because your content is always helpful
TY Josh! If you have questions let me know but that's why i made the video lengthy to really show all the things that can go wrong and to do a step by step for someone to follow as long as they are using the same tub as I am but if not i can help you put together your measurements with a different style tub if need be :)
If you re-named this to gecko/reptile rack build it would have so many more likes and views. I own crested geckos and other new caledonia species. I was looking for a truly simple diy rack. This video us amazing!! Well done!!!
I love this video I’ve been trying to find something like this non of them go in detail so it impossible to recreate this geeky gecko should have way more subs
TY TAy that means a lot! We are growing with the support and help of lovely people like yourself so thanks! Also if u have questions message me anytime, FB, IG, or here :D Cheers till next time :D
TY Gecko Boy! Yeah Im hoping I can mass produce these and get them out to people for less than the alternative companies, local I can do for sure, but i'd have to check shipping price for out of staters if it came down to it.
PS G project was a project started by Mat Sasobek i believe over 10 years ago. You can check his video on it here th-cam.com/video/FEcOyczbIjk/w-d-xo.html It characterizes nice tangerine color, green, and bold and just a funky looking pattern and color to give it a cool look, simply just a line bred trait for good color and wonky pattern
No, you did not, I did not show that in this video because we swtiched over to room heat. We heat and circulate our rooms temp at 85 all day long and dont use heat tape anymore but i ahve some heat tape info here: th-cam.com/play/PLx8bHR1oX-dbR7bSnX5bGOMn4wPvPVOny.html
No because leoaprd geckos are pretty Arid. They only have 1 small little water bowl in there and if they tip it over, it evaporates fast, especailly since we keep our rooms at 85 degrees. That being said, if your shelf is too tight u can melt some extra holes in the tubs to help with evaporation with a soldering iron, or you can build our water proof and mold proof style rack which we use for our humid species like ball pythons. What we do for our ball pythons is take "plastex" which is very cheap and comes in 4x 8 foot sheets just like the plywood does and staple it to the bottom of each shelf, this way, when humidity evaporates up, it goes onto the plastex which is a water proof thin, easy to cut and staple material :) I need to do a video on this in the future too!
This is awesome and helpful! I’m currently building my breeding rack right now. My question was how did you do the heat tape? Did you cut the heat tape to certain lengths for each shelf or did you run the whole length of the heat tape down the rack?
So you can do both, "snaking" is easier. here is a playlist i made for people on heat tape below :D th-cam.com/play/PLx8bHR1oX-dYkY98nAiocYPG8B4PXHeaj.html
If you look in the comments here they are pinned to the top, also if you pause the video when im showing the cuts youll need it should say it there, if i doesnt let me know, but this rack is desgined for Walmart 12 qt Sterlite tubs :D
Sorry what do u mean on teh side? I would do belly heat if u could, otherwise if the heat tape is lets say on teh side of the rack or back of the rack, all teh heat escapes and the gecko wont get anything
So i dont have a video on that yet but plan to do one in the future, for now check this guy out he does a good job th-cam.com/video/8Hj0OULvRlg/w-d-xo.html
there are lots of different ways to do it youtube search "reptile heat tape" and check out some of the methods and see which you like but i want to do a video on it soon! :D
Really don’t like this video I think it’s shit cause all the inconsistent numbers he gives flying around he says 24 quart tubs and disclaimer shows 12 quarts same with wood dimensions really should have been redone correctly so didn’t confuse a lot of people

Also, thank you for your service, Frank

Great video I wonder if I can use birch for a snack rake
Did I miss the heat tape ?
No, you did not, I did not show that in this video because we swtiched over to room heat. We heat and circulate our rooms temp at 85 all day long and dont use heat tape anymore but i ahve some heat tape info here: th-cam.com/play/PLx8bHR1oX-dbR7bSnX5bGOMn4wPvPVOny.html
Awesome
Thanks Jordan! :D
Geeky.... with so many levels... how do you properly manage heat and humidy with a thermostat and a hydrometer with the ammount of levels?
we need a video for the heat tape please im actually going to be building my rack soon using this design but i might make it a little differently
Yes ill post a pink to two ehat tape videos that will help you for now check these out:
th-cam.com/play/PLx8bHR1oX-dYkY98nAiocYPG8B4PXHeaj.html
Have you had any issues with the humidity in the totes on the wood?
No because leoaprd geckos are pretty Arid. They only have 1 small little water bowl in there and if they tip it over, it evaporates fast, especailly since we keep our rooms at 85 degrees.

Wow Thanks this is very useful! Do you know of any paint that will not give toxic fumes to my reptiles? Thanks
Thank you! Here is a video a guy does on sealents! :D th-cam.com/video/d3jw5He-jt0/w-d-xo.html

My local store will only cut lumber if it doesn't fit in your vehicle .. they will not do project cuts ..
😊
Pls make a video on leopard gecko incubator .
TY i ahve this one on incuabtion th-cam.com/video/X9cLUKwiYxg/w-d-xo.html
I wish my Husband could build this, but I don’t trust him with tools. LOL. I’ll have to ask my sister in law, brother or nephew.
Do you put a heat Matt on the backs of racks or under the tub
We used to use flex watt heat tape but now use ambient room temperature of 90 so do not need any additional heat source anymore :)
Can I show you the start of mine?i have 15qts,3 on ea. level , and I’m building up,my first ☝️
yeh for sure text me i see u got my number now! :D :D
I had one male shtct .Can you give me some advises about female’s morph
Email me at geekygeckocreations@gmail.com
photos :)
This is such a great video but where are the rack measurements located
If you look in the comments here they are pinned to the top, also if you pause the video when im showing the cuts youll need it should say it there, if i doesnt let me know, but this rack is desgined for Walmart 12 qt Sterlite tubs :D
Ok thank you what size heat tape should I use for my hatchlings and adults I just built your rack today and it’s amazing
@@maxsbackyardadventures2082 3" for hatchling and 3 or 4" for adults :), we sell both sizes if ya need text me at 480-299-7675 :D
Is it okay to have the heat tape on the side? Since they like belly heat?
Sorry what do u mean on teh side? I would do belly heat if u could, otherwise if the heat tape is lets say on teh side of the rack or back of the rack, all teh heat escapes and the gecko wont get anything
How do you do the heat tape, once the rack is built? Or do you have video on how to do that? Thanks!
So i dont have a video on that yet but plan to do one in the future, for now check this guy out he does a good job th-cam.com/video/8Hj0OULvRlg/w-d-xo.html
there are lots of different ways to do it youtube search "reptile heat tape" and check out some of the methods and see which you like but i want to do a video on it soon! :D
Hello,
what are the sizes of your boxes for adult leopard gecko ?
12 qt for adults from Walmart and 6 qt from the dollar store for babies and sub adults :D
what is the size of tubes?
12 qt sterlite, or u can fit a 28 qt sterlite from walmart sideways! it fits both sizes! :D
It says adults but could it be used for both ? Baby’s and adults
Yes.
Really don’t like this video I think it’s shit cause all the inconsistent numbers he gives flying around he says 24 quart tubs and disclaimer shows 12 quarts same with wood dimensions really should have been redone correctly so didn’t confuse a lot of people
