Everyone on the internet: Cresties love to sleep in snake plants!
My Crestie: HULK SMASH ALL THE PLANTS!
😂😂
A really good video - Lyra is fortunate to have such a great owner and an amazing new home. I hope she settles in quickly and there isn't a weight-loss issue.
Aw thank you :D
Lyra’s going to be so happy! Also snake plants love humidity! But they don’t like wet feet, they need their soil to dry out all the way in between waterings ideally but that calathea you put in likes it very wet so maybe you can try avoiding the snake plants when you water the other plants and I bet they’ll do fine!
Good advice. I do something similar in my crestie's viv. My snake plants grow like crazy. I thought they were supposed to be slow growing, but both have sprouted shoots that have reached ten inches or so in ten months.
Thank you! Yeah I try to avoid watering directly around the snake plants, so they just get the run off from other plants :)
Lyra’s new home is beautiful! I wasn’t sold at first with that big blocky PVC tank profile instead of the visual openness of glass but once it was filled in it was still quite nice. Can’t wait to see Drogo’s remodel! Your original build video for his bioactive enclosure was one of the first videos of yours I ever watched and I’ve been obsessed with chahoua ever since 😅
Awesome tank, my cresties been him her 18x18x24 tank for 6 years now and I’m upgrading her to a 36x18x36 later this year and I can’t wait!
Nice! :D I kind of wish I went a bit bigger lol
You’re videos always makes me so calm and happy!
aw thank you :)
Yes, I did enjoy the video, thank you. I believe Lyra is going to be very happy in her new home. I'm waiting patiently for the next one.👍🏻😁
Thank you :)
This is gorgeous! Of course Lyra will love it, when she gets some time to settle.
And, idk, but somehow you sound so confident in this video.
Anyway, I really liked watching this and hope to see updates! ❤
aw thank you :D
You are an artist
love all your videos!
Thank you!
I keep my crestie's tank humid and I have two snake plants in it and both have sprouted new plants that have grown tremendously in 10 months, almost as tall as the originals, which are about 18" each. I also water my tank too much, I suspect. They're still the opposite of suffering. I had hoped my gecko would use them more, but it just looove it's generic plastic suction cup feeding ledge. I put a trimmed piece of cardboard on the top and attach a bottle cap feeding dish with two sided tape, so it isnt just a plastic piece with two holes. I also planted a Janet Craig dracaena after seeing your geckos love them so, but mine doesn't seem to care for it really. Still, it's a nice plant to have.
Yeah I did get a new shoot from my snake plant too, however I do find they end up getting a bit floppy, whether thats due to Lyra's weight or too much water, I'm not sure.
It looks amazing ❤
Thank you :D
Love the build out!!!
thanks :D
Amazing tank and it's cool to see you improve from the last setup. I will probably get a crested gecko or some type of arboreal lizard as well (years from now). This video will help me. Thx😀
Thanks :D Crested geckos are just the sweetest :)
Amazing!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you :D
@@leopardgeckotalk Your welcome!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Love Lyra she is very cute
Love it! Interesting option for a Viv, not seen this brand before - I assume it's way lighter to move than an exo terra glass enclosure? They're so hefty when they're full, they're a nightmare. RE: your Calathea - he no likey tap water. Only rain or bottled water, or it'll throw a tantrum and look horrid. Other than that, they're great vivarium plants.
Yeah I could actually carry it around easily before I filled it, but the glass tanks are sooo heavy.
I have a female crested Gecko she is 6 years old and I had her since 3 grams she has never been with a male but she made a single self fertilized egg and the Baby was a copy of her, the Baby came out of the egg 0,5 grams and made it to 2 months, but the Vet was no help, when it suddenly got weaker so its no longer here unfortunately
Aww poor baby - I've heard that's quite common with clones, but what an amazing thing to witness (not the death part).
Love it! ❤
Thanks!
Is the new minimum for a creative 90x45x45? Beautiful tank btw!
What size was your other tank? And how far do you keep your lights. I seen your video on equipment and I'm gonna get the 2.4 uvb and 22w led. Awesome setup by the way I love that tank
I'm got a 18x18x24
what is the ideal temperature and humidity to maintain it?
Hey, i just got an gecko when i every time touch him he just squeaks.
do you think that a 60cmx45cmx45cm tank is sufficient enough for a 4 year old crestie?, i’m shopping around for new cages at the moment and was just wondering x
Hello! Where do you get the cork background? I'm US based!
Are you able to make your Ebook into the physical book so I can carry it around and read it without having to worry about losing my place
Aw unfortunately that would probably cost a lot, and I don't know if anyone would buy it. It's not too long, you can always use the chapters as a guide.
Okay, Thanks. Keep up the great work I take care of three Leopard Gecko's in my Vet Science class and one at my house
Don’t the gecko need the plants so they feel abut safer and it’s not so open?
How do you set your heating for this tank, what kind of fixing do you use with the deep heat projector? Xx
Just a clamp lamp placed on the mesh :)
where did u get your tree bark back wall ?
What lighting do you use ? Thanks
One thing I've noticed about my crested gecko that I've had for 13 years is I've only ever found 1 egg from her. Is this normal???
How do you clean it
I'm surprised people are still carving their foam. You can just apply dry substrate directly to the wet foam, which is stickier than any silicone.
I did that once and it all sunk in the foam 😂
Has anyone else tried using snake plants with created gecko? I was advised by my local shop that it would be too humid 🤷♀️
I really need help from anyone. My leopard gecko is so so so so skinny. I don't know what to do. He won't eat ANYTHING. i've tried it all but he won't eat and he is so skinny it almost makes me feel sick. Please someone help I'm really panicked.
Best to see a vet, he could have a parasite.

Expanding foam can be harmful to humans and the environment !
Are you not worried about it harming the gecko's or other reptiles ❓ I thought less harmful
Products would be used ❓
It's literally what everyone uses, I haven't had any adverse effects yet. I think it's most dangerous when it's initially sprayed, which I always do in a well ventilated area away from any animals.
@@leopardgeckotalk thanks for getting back to me,
The only reason I asked, I've used many types of expanding foam in the past for work. And I've noticed expanding foam can still give of toxic smells (Toxic fumes)
For day's even months after!
My question is how do you get round that ❓
