I have my crestie in a 12 by 12 by 18 in an artificial tank. But when i upgrade im Definetly going bioactive. Ive already starter a isopod colony for a clean up crew. Thanks again for the great video
how come you're not allowed one from an expo or online? I guess every store is different, some good, some bad, but beware some are sold with parasites, so if your parents for example dont want to spend extra money by buying it online or at an expo, they may end up pay out more on vets costs.
i have two questions,how do you prevent mold, and how do you get a crested gecko to come to your hand,my crested gecko comes to the door but doesn't jump to my hand.
For preventing mold I would put some type of leaves that are safe for geckos between all of the wood and the substrate. And it’s best to pick up your crestie gently instead of trying to get him/her to come to your hand
Although you cannot really get your crested gecko to come to your hand, you can gain trust with your gecko and start to make a love able relationship! :)
Why don’t you have more subscribers?? You actually take time and effort to put videos up for us to watch unlike some TH-camrs who have thousands more subscribers! Ilysm!!💖💖💖💖❤️💚🧡💛
i dont think so, though im not sure what that is. It's best to stick with the diets that have been properly made for the geckos as they usually contain all the nutrients and minerals the gecko requires.
Thanks so much for this! I am thinking of getting a crested gecko! I am doing as much research as I can before I purchase! As you should always do! I am thinking of the name Nora for her! Thank you! Update: I got my Nora! She is a sweetheart ❤️
I have a male crested gecko in a 48 gallon tank, we recently upgraded it because Ross, my gecko, was 6 months old when I first got him. I’ve had him for 4 months, so he’s officially 10 months. He’s been doing perfect in his new tank. As of now I’ve had to keep his food bowls on the bottom, but am upgrading to a ledge soon. He has a sweet tooth for crickets, I’ll tell you that! The most he’s ate in a day is 9. I know they aren’t supposed to eat them much, for treats only, but I usually give him 15 a week, making sure he gets at least one a day. Your credits may not like criekcts much, but Ross loves them!! This video helped be a lot. I mean, a lot. You deserve more subs.
My gecko Beans favourite thing is to sit on a big shell and watch out over her domain. She blends into her shell perfectly and she always starts her day sitting there watching the other animals and people for at least an hour before she decides everything is fine and goes about her business.
i just got my first crested gecko! thank you for this video, i have everything i need now. she’s eating some calcium dusted crickets right now, and seems happy.
I made a beautiful popsicle stick house for my crestie. (He has a coconut and many other hides also). This little house is only like 5” wide and tall and I lined the inside with paper towels and filled any gaps with silicone so his toes wouldn’t get stuck anywhere. But he absolutely loves it more than anything else in his tank. Awesome diy 👌🏻
aww thats so cute! It's so nice when you make something for them and they use it. If you're on Instagram you could tag me in a pic of it, i'd love to see it :)
I know that this video is not specifically for leopard geckos, but I want to say thank you for giving out so much information on the care of these reptiles. I got my Leo a few months ago, and thanks to your videos I’ve learned not to use sand, heat lamps, and how to properly give my gecko vitamins. Thank you so much! 🙂
Just making sure this is not your setup for your leopard gecko? They need heating and don’t like vertical tanks they Aslo don’t need misting. You probably know this but just making sure
Thank you so much for this guide! I’ve been doing a lot of research trying to make sure when I get my crested gecko that it will have the best life I can possibly give it!
I have 2 crested geckos already and I'm still learning about things like appropriate light and heat and how to build a bioactive enclosure. Very informative, thanks for this!
I've only wanted a gecko for about 3 days and I want a bioactive viv for him or her and I know to make the environment first make sure its thriving before introducing a gecko but your videos are so helpful I cant thank you enough! X
Hey, I really love your channel, you have helped me to understand what to get for my creative. Sadly he passed away yesterday and I don't know why, so I'm trying to do things better so it will never happen again. Thank you for the informative videos 💕
This has helped me a lot for my new crestie that I’m planning on getting this summer 😄 I’ve been saving up my money for months now and have been doing tons of research and watched your whole crested gecko playlist!
I am glad you recommended feeding them crickets. I got a crestie about 5 days ago and was feeding pangea since that is what the breeder told me to continue them on and that live insects were a no go. Then today I noticed my gecko running back and forth on the glass chasing crickets that were climbing in the screen cage of my chameleon. So I came here looking to see if it was safe to feed crickets; after seeing "yes", I went and dusted the smallest cricket I had and stuck it in the cage and the gecko dove from across the cage right onto the cricket. He loves them! Thank you for making his day. media.giphy.com/media/DpB9NBjny7jF1pd0yt2/giphy.gif
my crestie Frank loves his coconut half. its a ground hide thats just a coconut cut in half with a small hole to use as an entrance but it was only $3 and he absolutely loves laying on top of it.
I made a bioactive tank last year after seeing yours. Favourite and cheapest item is the coconut hide. I attached mine with a rawlplug to the cork rather than dangling from top . My crestie sleeps all day in it. Love your vids!
Aw awesome! Yeah those coconuts are clearly just the best beds for cresties :') When I first made one I thought meh I'll try this out, see how it goes, and couldnt believe how much it was used :). Thank you!
Thank you for making this! I'm looking in to possibly getting a crestie. I think they're so cute when they jump and I would have so much fun decorating their habitat.
Hey leopard gecko, just wanted to ask if it would be OK to put a heat mat on on side of the tank instead of a ceramic heater. This way they could switch between warm and cool when they like.
Hello! I was wondering if you HAVE to feed them crickets? Could you feed them something else like meal worms or something? Im a bit Squamish with crickets.
You definitely don't need to feed them crickets, or insects at all, but it's worth giving it a try for that extra variety. Where I worked, the crested geckos would never eat bugs, no matter how much we offered and they're perfectly fine and healthy with repashy and those jelly cups :) hope that helps xx
I have a 2 month old crested gecko and have done everything I need before trying to handle him. I have now handled him everyday for 2 weeks and he still hates my hand. I’m not asking for any tips on taming or handling, I just want to know HOW to PICK UP these small geckos without freaking them out! thx
I'm trying to improve my geckos tank but it's difficult as I just started to use coconut fiber but did not do this at first as she would try to eat everything he could get his hands on , he is also blind and has a deformity to the eye on one side im trying to get things so HD could climb more but the plants just keep falling off suction cups do
when i got my gecko there was this weird food- not pangia but it’s by zoomed called ‘crested gecko food’ and i don’t know if she likes it at all.. she does eat it though
I definitely recommend hanging coconut hides! 2 of my 3 Crested Geckos have one and absolutely love them! The third would never use one and much prefers his snake plant 😆
Can you use a heat mat on the back of the tank? I’m using a ceramic heat emitter right now but since I converted a 20 gal long into a crestie tank with a screen lid at the front with a door. The humidity is a problem. I’ve even put foil on the screen lid and it doesn’t help. I didn’t know if a heat mat would be better or not. Since the screen lid is in the front, that’s the only place I can put the CHE, and it is EXTREMELY inconvenient. Thanks!
Oh i do love your setup! I love the look of mother's in law tongue and zebra plants, but i can't find them anywhere! I need some new ones, as a few of my plants have died, so my tank looks very sparse! Haha
Kayla Davies ah yeah that can happen sometimes, some plants just don't do too well. Usually mother in law plants/snake plants are always in the indoor house plant section of garden centres :)
Love this video! My male, Tyrion, loves his reptile hammock. I have an exo terra tank, so it's awkwardly set up on the door, but it holds him up (he's 9.5-10" and 72 grams!). I tried a natural tank and he tore apart all of the plants, so silk and artificial it is. I've never seen a crestie as big as him, (he's not fat at all, just massive).
I need help I have a created gecko and I use eco earth but it grows fuzzy mold since I have to mist her tank down often I tried searching what substrate to use but I can’t find any good information
I have a question. So I got a reptibreeze cage from our Hs science teacher. He gave me the entire setup with a reptirain too. I don’t want a chameleon because I don’t want to upgrade to a bigger cage(it’s about 18*18*30 or so) should I get a crested with the screens or what else
It's interesting younjusy out out this video because I'm thinking about bringing home the hatchling crestie that was idioticly shipped to my pet store. It's like 2" long and I know it won't receive the care a baby needs there.
Question. I seen a crested gecko with a tanksetup a 12x12x18 exo terra. But the guy has no heating or lighting for the times he needs it! Its kinda bear in there for stuff to climb on. I used to run a leopard gecko setup so this is different abit for me but I'm understand fast .
its good to use a water purifier or you could use tap water left out for 24 hours. you could use a purified bottled water but im not an expert so check first.
TheBrenna Channel Agreed with Leopard Gecko. Do your research. Usually distilled water isn't recommended as a pure water source for animals, but as a source of water to mix with things like repashys powdered supplements and food. (Or baby formula, protein powders, etc for humans). The reason for that is because it is void of all vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. Filtered water is good.
I have two crested geckos ina 45 by45 by 45 glass terrarium they are 2 years old and they are still hatchling size they are eating Pangea as they will not eat any insects whatever I try they will not eat them does anyone know why they are still so small

Hi , In one of your video's you had an image of a black-ish gecko with very blue eyes. ifell in love with it but cannot find the video with it anymore or a similar one on google. Any help?
How varm do it need to be? And what do use? like heatmat? nope, UV light? Do the terrarium always need to be wet or dry? Whats best? fake or real plants? WHAT MUST I GET?
MR.Stray cat use a ceramic heat emitter if necessary. The temperature should be 70-80, but 80 is a bit too warm. Temps should be measured by a digital thermometer. UVB is beneficial but optional. Both fake and real plants work but I’d say real is better. The tank should be wet most of the time but not all day. Check out the reptile Amino (on the app Amino) for more advice.
can u keep a crestie in a 80cm long aquarium with a good heat mat, lighting and plenty branches and plants to climb on? Ive got a spare aquarium that isnt watertight anymore but has no cracks. Was wanting to do a bioactive enclousure?
Lorna Fletcher Hi there! No you can’t, Cresties are arboreal and will not do well in a fish tank. If you turn the fish tank on its side so it is taller would work with lots of plants.
When filling up the spray bottle and adding the reptisafe do you need to just throw away the left over water or can you keep it in? if you can keep it in for how long can you do that?
I’m only 13 and I have to buy everything for my gecko and these seemingly giant tanks are pricey so the max I will go is a 18” by 18” by 24” is that ok for a adult?
Try to save up for longer! And remember to have a good “back-up” budget in case of vet or food issues! I wouldn’t recommend getting one if you can’t afford a 45 x 45 x 60 as my crestie loves to climb around in her tank! Remember if you can’t provide a high quality life for your crestie you shouldn’t get one until you can find yourself!
How often would you recommend offering a crested gecko food? I’ve been getting a lot of different and mixed information from a few different places. I’m currently feeding my three month old crested four days a week and leaving the food in over night then taking it out when I get up the next morning.
A UVB bulb (either Arcadia’s shadedweller or a zoo med T8 5.0 bulb) and a low wattage heat lamp connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat. Make sure the enclosure is at least 18x18x24”.
To name a few reasons why, If a tiny gecko is in a huge tank theres risk of falling from height and getting injured or dying, also it's more likely to accidentally starve itself as it wont be able to venture as big a space to locate its food
Aari Fernando thank you! i actually just got my own crested gecko, she’s about six months old i think? anyway, i got her today, and i’m a cage that the person at the pet store recommended, and she’s doing good! do you have any cresties?
LeopardGecko i was wondering wether i could add a fog system in a leopard geckos terrarium ( just for thr aesthetic) would that be bad? (provided that the terrarium will have various levels so that it can be in and out of the "fog zone")
For the shade dweller and the Jungle Dawn LED which one would I need because ther are a few options and im not sure which one and which ones do you have? :)
Doing my research before getting a gecko is a lot more fun than I expected
ikr! when im stressed out i research reptiles i want in the future, weird but its really helpful.
Mxstical awesome!
It is

It's actually not necessary to upgrade. My 4 year old is in 12x12x18 and thrives
@@Elizabethnicole95 This is outdated information. I would highly recommend upgrading you tank size, it is small for an adult.
Okay so I have a 24x12x12 tank that I want to convert to a terrarium but idk if it’s big enough

I’m getting one soon I’ll get that
Getting my first crested this upcoming Friday and this definitely has helped me figure out what else I need
How big are the holes you drilled into the coconut and bamboo?
Have you made one of these for leopard geckos?
What is the difference between a fogger , dripper and a misting? Do they all help with the humidity ?
I have one question I have mulch on the ground is that ok?
How often should I clean out my lizards cage?
Hi, spot clean everyday/ every other day if you only have one in the viv. For full clean, I'd say once every three/four weeks x

Both fake and real plants work but I’d say real is better. The tank should be wet most of the time but not all day. Check out the reptile Amino (on the app Amino) for more advice.
would you recommend paper towel substrate for my baby crested gecko?
When mine was a baby and his cage was tiny, so I used paper towel. He’s bigger now, so he gets earth substrate sort of thing.
Can I put the food on the ground for my crest or could it stop him from eating it
Can you mix all the supplements together and feed the gecko or can you not do that and just give one supplement??
Hi just wondering, if you have a bioactive setup with cleanup crew do you have to do any cleaning of the tank at all? (Apart from the glass) thanks x
Georgina King nah mainly just glass and food bowls, but that's pretty much it.
Leopard Gecko thank you! X
no problem :D
What is a bio active setup?
Tysm for featuring me ❤️❤️
crestedgecko no problem :)
can u keep a crestie in a 80cm long aquarium with a good heat mat, lighting and plenty branches and plants to climb on? Ive got a spare aquarium that isnt watertight anymore but has no cracks. Was wanting to do a bioactive enclousure?
Lorna Fletcher Hi there! No you can’t, Cresties are arboreal and will not do well in a fish tank. If you turn the fish tank on its side so it is taller would work with lots of plants.
When filling up the spray bottle and adding the reptisafe do you need to just throw away the left over water or can you keep it in? if you can keep it in for how long can you do that?
Tim keep it in
Would a 12x12x18 be ok? I bought one a few days ago
For a young one but when it grows defo upgrade :)
How do you measure your crested? With or without the tail?
I’m only 13 and I have to buy everything for my gecko and these seemingly giant tanks are pricey so the max I will go is a 18” by 18” by 24” is that ok for a adult?
Try to save up for longer! And remember to have a good “back-up” budget in case of vet or food issues! I wouldn’t recommend getting one if you can’t afford a 45 x 45 x 60 as my crestie loves to climb around in her tank! Remember if you can’t provide a high quality life for your crestie you shouldn’t get one until you can find yourself!
Yes, that is perfectly fine. Most people (including me) have an 18x18x24 tank
This is a little late but that size tank will be fine for its whole life
@@emmabobemma1 you don't need a enclosure that big no enclosure can't be too big but if your on a budget that size is fine for its whole life
PawPotatoes Saylor A 45 x 45 x 60 is actually just an 18 x 18 x 24 in centimeters instead of inches. You have the same exact size tank :)
How often would you recommend offering a crested gecko food? I’ve been getting a lot of different and mixed information from a few different places. I’m currently feeding my three month old crested four days a week and leaving the food in over night then taking it out when I get up the next morning.
Is it true that when you put a gecko in a bigger cage it stresses out the gecko more. So like I shouldn’t buy the biggest cage
Love your videos! So informative! Cheers!
And thank you for using my photo of my crestie :)
Thank you! ah no problem, thanks for the pic :)
Does anyone know what watt blub I should use for a crested gecko? And should I use a specific bulb type ie. Nightbulb, UVB etc..
Ok I have a question I am planning on getting a baby crested gecko and so what size tank should I get I’m so confused
Would a screen cage work for a crested gecko?
I have my crested gecko in a 20 gallon tall tank, what light is best suited for that?
A UVB bulb (either Arcadia’s shadedweller or a zoo med T8 5.0 bulb) and a low wattage heat lamp connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat. Make sure the enclosure is at least 18x18x24”.
A majority of the links dont work anymore but the onformation is very helpful!
why do you need a smaller tank for a younger gecko? is it going to harm the gecko if i put it in too big a tank? if so, how?
To name a few reasons why, If a tiny gecko is in a huge tank theres risk of falling from height and getting injured or dying, also it's more likely to accidentally starve itself as it wont be able to venture as big a space to locate its food
Aari Fernando thank you! i actually just got my own crested gecko, she’s about six months old i think? anyway, i got her today, and i’m a cage that the person at the pet store recommended, and she’s doing good! do you have any cresties?
No problem:) I have my own crested gecko
Aari Fernando look at my most recent video to see my gecko if you want
I have a tall 20 gallon I'm converting so the top will be glass what would the best heater as it gets colder inside in the winter?
use a heat mat taped to the side
Is there any other cheaper plant leds?
LeopardGecko i was wondering wether i could add a fog system in a leopard geckos terrarium ( just for thr aesthetic) would that be bad? (provided that the terrarium will have various levels so that it can be in and out of the "fog zone")
Wait if you have icepods and springtails how are you supposed to clean the tank?
Yema UWU lol u don’t. The point of them is to clean for u
I am considering getting a crested gecko and I’m wanting to buy a 24” 18” 24” terrarium, I was wondering where to buy the terrarium
