    Rebeccah do you know how long I've been waiting for you to do another vivarium scaping video😭♥️ Ever since you did Isla and Lyra's scapes, and did that bioactive tropical viv miniseries, your viv builds have been my absolute favourite on YT- the instruction and vid setups always drew me

    My 16 years old healthy but old crested gecko slowed down his eating, then i down sized his tank, now he is eating soo much, I think there are also sometimes, just sometimes negative outcome with a very big tank, especially for babies or very old animals, its just something to keep in mind, I cant remember the age of your New Caledonian geckos.
    Love your videos sweetheart

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  2 місяці тому

      Thanks :) I wonder if it's a combination of having to search a bit further to find food, and age. Like minnie and gizmo have much simpler setups than my male leos as they're 17 and 18 :)

    This looks really good. I was hoping to get a pink tongue at some point but only have a 4x2x2 and worry it's not enough height.

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  2 місяці тому +1

      To be honest 4 x 2 x 2 ft may be totally fine. I think that's what most places recommend, it's just for me, I know rex loves to climb, so this made sense for him :)

    Enclosure came along nicely!
    Would be fun to know what you plan on doing in terms of upkeep (aka, a misting system or manual, fogging, airflow systems, etc) and how much it actually ended up costing in total!

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  2 місяці тому

      I like to manually mist - it would be great to maybe have an automatic misting system, but it's part of my routine to go round, check the animals, check the tanks, give them a good spray :) I'd hate to know how much i spent 🙈

    • @leopardgeckotalk

    Were you able to keep the lichen on the branches alive and propagating? It'd be such an achievement for a bio active build,
    Please update

    I’ve got a white Viperea enclosure for my snails and millipedes. I have to say their customer service was not the best to be honest. Pretty shoddy really. While I do like the tank, I can’t recommend the white. All the edges round the two doors are really rough so all the dirt seeps into the pvc and it looks dirty all the time. I would buy from them again though, as they are so easy to build and so light to lift and move if you need to. Anyway, enough about me, you did a fantastic job on this enclosure, seriously, 10 out of 10 🎉👍🏼🤩

    • @leopardgeckotalk
      @leopardgeckotalk  2 місяці тому

      Yeah I did have to wait 3 months for this to arrive after I ordered it 😪 but i think they've trained up more staff now so hopefully things will move smoother and customer support may have improved. I've always preferred black tanks as they can hide all of that 😁😂 aww thank you!!

      You can purchase the kind made for ponds/fountains/waterfalls also if you are worried. That stuff says it is safe for fish and aquatic plant life etc.
