I raised/bred gecko's, many different species, mostly day gecko's. For my leopards plus golden gecko's in the same enclosure, i put a small hamster wheel in there on the off chance they would try it. I used a laser to get the gecko's to enter the wheel. The male leopard started walking in the wheel, and he took to it right away. Next thing I know ALL the leopard geckos in the enclosure were. After days/weeks they started lining up to use the wheel while another leopard was in the wheel,.My golden gecko came down from the top of the cage and would run the outside of the wheel upside down as he could get on the back. It was awesome, they would fight for wheel time so we added another wheel. The wheels we used were solid plastic, no bars, open on the side and the back closed ,so their tails couldnt get caught. All my leopards used the wheel, my goldens as well, a few of my day geckos used wheels too. The golden's would burn rubber on there, the leopards mainly walked got out looked around got back in and walked some more...it entertained them all day long and all night for the golden's.
Wish I could have that many enclosures but I’m worried I would burn the place down I’m in an apartment also and shouldn’t have the enclosure I have but shhh 🤫 hopefully will get a house at some point and will be able to have all the critters I want like akis, skinks, takys, multiple anole species, def rat snakes bmk snake, and possibly vine snake. Also want many gecko species wish I was rich!
Another great video!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate hearing that.

Oh my gosh, I would love to see a gecko on a hamster wheel.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles I didnt take vid as I didnt really care at the time, I have a short clip of my golden on the back of the wheel and that's it.
@@tatyanaromanov2372 There are so many things I didn't record and later wish I had.
