I got one from my neighbor girl. She is going to college n couldn't take care of it. 40 gal set up for $200 supplemented by my iguana gear. I based all my care on your videos and he is so much healthier and happier. Thank you. Edit: I won the iguana at a carnival. I would never buy one. I kept him on my porch because I didn't have the room and he escaped.😢
why tf did you compete for it then?? i hope you live in florida, because if you dont, that iguana is dead. its a HORRIBLE idea to let a tropical animal into a different part of the world. if you didnt have the right requirements for the iguana then your stupid asf to even compete in a game for it. if you didnt have any thing to put it in you shouldve gave it back to the carnival. UNLESS you do in fact live in a tropical area like florida. in that case itll be fine.
Seriously love all your videos!! Ive been researching and delaying and researching again leopard gecko stuff and finally bought everything. You have been an amazing resource. I love the videos, the editing, the bloopers are so funny. Thank you for everything you do!!!! :)
Good info on Leo's. Enjoy learning from you. Your geckos are so cute. The shirt is so cool printed with the exray. Thank you for sharing and teaching people what to look for and how to care for them. Have a great week looking forward to next one. GOD BLESS 🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖
Excuse my typos but this is important: My very 1st leopard gecko was given such bad care before I got her poor girl she wasn't given a humid hide because the guy told me "well I didn't think she needed one because I gave one to her before but she sister lay any eggs so I don't think she needs one" like what no it'd not just for eggs is also for helping them shed and they like it, poor girl after I got her she was almost always in there and shedding pretty often so that wasn't right she was also on only mealworms so when she got to us she decided no more of those I like Crickets now but she passed away after she got stuck eye caps then we took her to a vet they removed them they also showed me how she did loose some toe tips but they also made her go blind and then she never ate again,(needless to say I don't trust that vet anymore) but I tried feeding her but she just kept sealing her nouth shut and wiggles way too much and whatever i got in her mouth she didn't always swallow so she just woukd not eat and she stsrved herself only at 3-4 years old, this is why a humid hide is so so important, now I have a different girl I named her Cricket since she's not always a fan of being held and small crickets are her favorite food and she's doing fine no Shedding issues at all since he has a humid hide
Good morning Elle, hope that you have an amazing week!! Think a Leppard Gecko would be my 2nd reptile I purchase if I could have pets. Just have to learn more about them.
I would love to see a video on how to make your own bioactive substrate! Im purchasing my first leo and would love to keep it as close to the wild as possible
I used to have a fire bellied newt male that was only about 6 inches long but at night he’d start grunting, he was really loud for such a small salamander 🦎🦎🦎
Late to the vid! But they can vocalize to adulthood! My little lady is very sassy and turning 3 soon, so fullly grown. But whenever i dont let her go somewhere she's trying to or if i try to check her tummy to see if any stuck shed she will make the little clicking/hissing noise at me and stare at me. Its best when shes telling me off for moving her away from something or stop feeding her when she wants more food
Leoaprd geckos do not lose the vocalization. My adults will vocalize randomly. Mine will also sometimes vocalize at feeding time if I'm running a bit late on giving it. They also make clicking noises in there throat if something isnt going their way (ex: turning sharply on your hand but your thumb is blocking and you have no way of moving it out of the way). Also, if your gecko isn't tamed (not used to handling), they will screech, I went through this with my newest leo which I shared on my channel (no promotion intended). They can vocalize for many reasons, but those are the main I've heard with my own.
My Kovu, 3 yr male, is still very vocal; kinda sounds like barking and he is very barky towards our exotic vet. I also had a lot of issues with 1 toe in particular with stuck shed, our exotic vet recommend UVB lamp and haven’t had an issue since. I do use the snake soak for help prevent stuck shed too.
I recently got a fancy leopard gecko and I made a diy humidity home and I got a tub wet it cut a hole in it and put a damp paper towel under it so yea. But I love her her name is Lizzie
Hi there. I don’t have social media beside UA-cam to ask you a question. Sooo I inherited a leopard gecko. He is 2 maybe. Never had a reptile. First, do they give diseases? Also, he doesn’t like being held which is annoying. Also, what should I spot clean his house with(non toxic)? Is just a heating pad running 24/7 under a hide good enough? It’s just slid right und the hide. Also, you say they are soft yet this gecko is hard and lumpy. Sorry there isn’t much info online or it’s incorrect
I’ve been into leos for a while and I want my first one. The problem is I’ve been seeing a lot of different opinions about lamps, heat mats, and etc.. I’m a beginner, what is everything I need before I get my Leo?😭
so i can give you the minimum or the absolute best care you can give. either or so ill give you both. the absolute best care one is a bit more on the expensive side but its amazing in the long run!! minimum: 3 hides (1 warm, 1 cold, one humid) paper towel (used at the bottom of the tank and in the humid hide) spray bottle (or can use a water bottle with a hole poked in it) 20 gal tank (minimum size tank) heating (heat mat, heat bulb (halogen, dhp) lighting (uvb+uva horizontal lights, or can use calcium with vitamin d3 in them) calcium w/out d3 multivitamin a cap to a bottle (to put the calcium w/out d3 in) water dish (obvious reasons lol) dome lamp (if ur getting a heat bulb, use a dimmer) thermometers/hydrometers thermostat best care: 30-40 gal tank (front opening) 3+ hides (at least one of each, cold, warm, humid) dome lamp x2 (dimmers) dhp and halogen bulb (halogen in daytime, dhp at nighttime) supplements (multivitamin, calcium w/ d3, calcium w/out d3) water dish small dish for calcium uvb+uva light (arcadia shade dweller 2-4% t5 is really good) spray bottle ceramic dome lamp with dimmer paper towel (use until 6+ months old then replace with a reptisand+reptisoil+excavator clay mix) hope this helped!!
Hi Kayla my son got a female she is a albino she had stopped eating but slept a lot I thoughtshe was dying cause she WASENT eating, I brought her out with me and I just realized I believe she cudnt see very good, so I hold the meal worm real close with tweezers & I see her smelling it ,she got wide eyed and FINALLY ATE IT & now every nite I make sure she gets a helping hand so she will eat thank God...just thought I wud share.. also the vitamin B4 is it I always available for her she does lick it ,it helps also.. 😊
@@lillianhussey3480 Thank you so much for that information I will try that and see if it helps I didn’t ever think to check if she can see good I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my comment
I have one bearded dragon he's 21 inches long has name is Nova I wanna get him on Dubia roaches should I start a Dubia colony, I do have 38 chickens too could I feed Dubias to chickens.
If you see this, please answer my question what is the best website to get your bearded dragon off of because I’m getting on soon and I want to get the best one and I’m wondering what website is good?
my adult leo will still squeak at me! it’s the same kind of fussy about being held response, not so much when i pick her up anymore but when i have to stop her from climbing down my back lol
Hehe My mom will not allow me to get any reptile she cant stand them 😭 So i go to the pet store to check the animals out instead and i got to hold a leopard gecko! (Life goal) and he licked me multiple times 🥺

Leopard geckos are one of my favorite species! In fact before I got mine, your vids helped me in my research to better learn about their husbandry.
I have a 20 gallon tank and I was just wondering is that too big for a slapped gecko or does that matter?
@@Noah-fg2egI’m pretty sure it’s big enough as long as you have a tank big enough for Atleast 4 hides big enough for only 1 gecko
Seriously love all your videos!! Ive been researching and delaying and researching again leopard gecko stuff and finally bought everything. You have been an amazing resource. I love the videos, the editing, the bloopers are so funny. Thank you for everything you do!!!! :)
My adult leopard gecko is very vocal. He’s very much a diva lmao
So great to get my Elle's Reptiles fix this week lol
Good info on Leo's. Enjoy learning from you. Your geckos are so cute. The shirt is so cool printed with the exray. Thank you for sharing and teaching people what to look for and how to care for them.
Have a great week looking forward to next one.

Always entertaining, informative, just awesome, I really like watching your videos.
My leopard gecko sqeaks like a mouse lol. Amazing video! Have a blessed sunday ♥♥♥
My leo randomly squeaks every night. I don’t even have to pick him up. Lol.
Getting one soon my first reptile! Thank you!
I used to have a fire bellied newt male that was only about 6 inches long but at night he’d start grunting, he was really loud for such a small salamander 🦎🦎🦎
Elle are you ok? I heard through the reptile grapevine you had some medical issues and wanted to let you know you are in our prayers!
The tail can only fall and regrow once or twice.
I’m thinking of getting a leopard Gecko, this is so helpful!
Amazing video!!
I have 2 leos 11 months old and 1/2 months old I love both of them❤

You understand the reason why I am here, even without knowing me.
I recently got a fancy leopard gecko and I made a diy humidity home and I got a tub wet it cut a hole in it and put a damp paper towel under it so yea. But I love her her name is Lizzie
adult leopard geckos can scream it is just rare
Can peat be used for substrate?
if its mixed with reptisand and reptisoil then yes.
Cool
Crocodiles are created at different temperatures too!
I just got one today from my friend

Is top soil and play sand a safe substrate for a Leo? Or something more like eco earth
Yes! Top soil and play sand is what I've used for a couple years now 😊

Thank you for sharing I have a question my leopard gecko won’t eat is it something they go through or do I need to take her to a vet?

Why does my leopard Keiko seems to be getting white spots on his back. Is it shed?
my leo did the same thing, turns out it was shed. i hadnt had his humid hide misted so he had problems trying to shed. hope this helped!!
I’m thinking of getting leopard gecko or a bearded dragon
I have a few adults that make a clicking bark noise
My grandson has a leopard Gecko and she suddenly stopped eating. Would you happen to know why? We even took her to a vet.
Still not eating.
how old is it? its maybe due to old age one youtuber had a leo who suddenly stopped eating and it died a little while later.
I have a beardie his name is Zeus and if im unsure of something that hê does I watch you for help ;>
If you see this, please answer my question what is the best website to get your bearded dragon off of because I’m getting on soon and I want to get the best one and I’m wondering what website is good?
Do you have any local reptile shops? And not petco/petsmart
They do NOT loose the ability to be vocal as they get older my girl still will hiss at me and she s bit over a yest
my adult leo will still squeak at me! it’s the same kind of fussy about being held response, not so much when i pick her up anymore but when i have to stop her from climbing down my back lol
💜💜💜💜
I have a gecko leapored
