"Diego" I'm a gecko and I am living like a king
Yasss 😊😊
I love seeing Diego exploring around- what a cutie!!
Thanks :) Yeah I found it so fascinating to see what he actually gets up to when I'm not around lol
You inspire me so much I even got a leopard gecko!🦎 I just cleaned his tank. (Great tank btw:)
Aw thank you :)
How’s your leo doing? c:
brember he’s doing great! He’s gotten a lot bigger though
Amy Wohosky that’s great! Where did you get him? I’m considering getting one, but I have no idea where. The only place that locally has them is PetSmart and PetCo, but they aren’t known for treating their animals very well-
brember I would look to see if there are any reptile conventions near you ! Or any reptile shops !
Just a heads up, since filming I have linked the LED and UV up and they now come on at the same time. At the moment they come on for about 9 hours a day, this may increase to 10-12 hours in the future. :)
Ok
How much did u spend on that tank? It looks so good!
I have a question, can i use rocks as the flooring of my tank? and can i use a heat mat? Im thinking about ordering a 20 gallon glass tank, and i don't know if i should use a wood or glass tank, thank you!
The tank looks amazing! Diego is a very lucky gecko
Thank you :D
I just got my leopard gecko yesterday and he just turned 1 month old today! I haven’t seen my gecko much as he/she is obviously still adjusting to the tank. But I just wanted to thank you I learned so much from your channel and I really appreciate how thorough you are in your videos! Thank you so much!!❤️🦎
Ps I think I’m going to name him/her Apollo
My gecko is a Mack Snow
I got my crested gecko last sunday, and guess what? He's named Apollo as well :)
Aww sweet :) Yes sounds about right. No problem, glad I could help. Apollo is a great name 😊
I have a False albino leo and her names Apollo too!
Amazing
Gosh the way they just lumber about their homes makes me so happy. I love watching mine mill around at night. Mines in a 40 gallon and he definitely uses every inch! I swear he must’ve crawled across every single nook and cranny. I hope everything continues to go well with little Diego!!
Yeah I'm so glad I set up the nightvision camera otherwise I would have thought he was just hiding all the time lol. He's starting to get more confident. I checked him earlier (about 10pm ish) and he was just walking around the tank :)
My crested gecko was sitting on me while i was watching the video and he pooped on my phone 😂
Oooooof
XD
Aw that was so cute until the end 😂 typical crested gecko! I tried to take a selfie with Lyra on my shoulder and she shot a poop off of my shoulder. 🙈
@@leopardgeckotalk I wonder what is going on inside there little minds XD
And btw great video :)
I used to watch your channel because I was dumb and really didn’t know what to with my leopard gecko but now I watch your channel for fun and to see if I’m doing anything wrong. Love your vids
I love your bio active tanks so much xxx
Aw thank you :D :D
Gecko home goals one day 😍 Spyro would love this!
Thank you 😊
Omg I’m so excited for him he must love it!!
Thank you :) he seems to be settling even more now :)
Second! Love how much you care for your animals.
Aw thank you :D
OMG have I been waiting for this video! I love your videos!
Stunning looking setup! And congrats on the upgrade!
Shows even completely tame geckos get startled and instinct takes over. You forget how fast they can be until they get spooked then they are greased lightning! They never seem to lose the notion that one day you may decide to eat them...
Very cool! Thank you for sharing. I like that there is a lot more space and potential with bigger plants and decor.
Diego's whole set up is GOALS! Seriously , this kit is on my wish list. Looks amazing 😍
Thank you so much for posting!!! Great video and Enclosure 🥰
&Of course, beautiful gecko
I hope one day when I finally get a gecko of my own, I can spoil them with an amazing setup and give them as much love as you do. You truly are an inspiration! Thank you
Aw thanks so much!
I love how much she cares
Great job and loved watching him explore!
Go Diego go! He looks so happy, you've done a really nice job on his tank!
Thank you :)
I used your channel to get info on how to care for a leopard gecko. He is very healthy and now about 10 inches in length!
so cool to see the evolution i was captivated thx
Loving the video! I really like these moving in videos, because for some reason, I just love seeing the geckos naturally run around.
It’s so funny and cute when he looks up at the screen! 6:05
Big up Diego Everytime
You spoil your animals so much and that’s a good thing 😊 and your leopard geckos definitely deserve the huge amount of space you give them :) Love your vids!!!🥰
I got my first leo last Friday and I'm so glad that your channel exists. Elsa the snow leopard has you to thank for her new home.thank you for your work
Aww thank you :)
Looks amazing
ahhh i love that for him!!!
Oh my gosh I wasn’t notified again I was worried because I thought you didn’t post but I checked to make sure and you did!! Diego is looking like he is enjoying his new tank!!
I’m moving my crested gecko into a new setup later today I am so exited😄 Awesome video!
Tango The Gecko nice
Oo nice, good luck! :)
hope Diego enjoys his big boy tank! I just got my baby leo he loves his warm hide and is a big fan of dinner time! thank you so much for this channel I've seen so many people recommend it and am a big fan myself. my Leo ate 4 buggos on his first day with me and doesn't arch his back when I fill his water bowl anymore. he seems to be loving his warm hide which is the Flukers castle crib definitely a good hide lots of room and he LOVES it! thank you for this truly amazing channel keep loving your Leo's!
Good to see that an established gecko you’ve owned for awhile is a bit timid moving into a new enclosure. I just got an adult leopard for the first time and he’s been very shy for the first week, almost always hiding when I see him. He’s been eating though.
You helped me so much with my gecko thank you!!!and great tank🦎❤🙌
This vid was so helpful and your recommended amazon items have really helped me and the gecko items are a bit pricey in the link but that doesn’t matter. I’m a huge fan thanks
Aw thanks :). Yeah I found the Amazon store/shop is helpful for collecting all the items I'd recommend, but if you find them elsewhere cheaper, go for it :D
I absolutely adore your channel! And because of you, my Leo enjoys being handled by me now. Diego is such a cutie
Looks great and Diego is settling in well. Amazing speed he has developed there. The increased energy is impacting him. weeks 2 and 3 will see a return to open basking as he sets up his territory. Keep in mind that this is a very territorial species with complex tunnel networks in the wild. A change of home, means a change of territory. Its all looking great so far!
Thank you :D
Thank you for keeping me sane during quarantine
OMG!!! I JUST GOT A NEW GECKO TODAY AND IM SO EXCITED!!!
Love the air plants
Nice setup 👍
You are so underrated !!!!! your videos help so many people!
He’s so adorable! I’m happy he’s in his new, huge space. Hope he settles soon.
Thank you :)
I love you sm, you inspire me to do more stuff for my Leo, Ivy!
keep up the good work I love all your animals. and I love you
Aw thank you!! :)
Aww Diego is such a lucky gecko! I love the tank you made btw!
Thank you :D
SO EXITINGGGGG
Yessss. I’ve been waiting for months!!!!! Also gizmos birthday is only 5 days after mine and I’m also turning 14.☺️
Omg that's crazy! I feel so old now haha
ooo i love this
I've been looking forward to this for a while. My setup is a bit more basic than this but still bioactive.
Thanks :) Ah nice :)
I love your tanks!
I’m early! I’m so excited I just upgrade my Juvenile Leo into a 20 gallon I might send it in for your fixing leopard gecko tanks series
Ah nice! Good luck :D
6:05 Diego: oohhh hello!
Hello!!!! I just want to say that I love your videos and you help me so much because I might be getting a leopard gecko!!!
Love your videos
It’s late and I am just bing watching your videos, with my Gecko, Hunter of course :)
i love ur enclosure..
So cool!! :)
Geez i havent watched you in like 2 years great to see that you still make great videos
Thank you :) And welcome back :D haha
Ahh early I love your vids so much, you inspired me to get a leopard gecko
ive had my leo for just over a week now and he is also called diego, i hope i can one day afford a setup like this for him
I can’t wait to move my gecko in his 40 gallon bioactive tank!
•Bubble Gum• Awesome Bioactive tanks are so cool!
Nice! Good luck :D
Let me know how it worka
Honey•Bee ok! I’ve already bought most of the stuff I just need to save up got the tank
Mine has been running away too. I do sit with the door open every night and she will come out but no way to touch her and she seems to think EVERTHING is a threat in her cage. She is tail wagging and inspecting like some thing is going to jump out and eat her. Lol poor thing. She is 18 and us old things don't trust easy in our older years. But I do want to say I love all that we do for our pets with good instruction from this young lady
0 dislikes. And that's how it should be! Great video!
*YAY* it looks great, good job! My leo would be here if it weren't for you, thank you so much for what you have done for me by keeping me sane during quarantine, and for my leo by giving her a better life , you are awesome
Big Yoshi Why do I see you everywhere on this channel😂
@@leahjvr3245 *its not just this channle* I'm one of those people who is mysterious and I'm everywhere and people always ask me"why do is see you on every video I watch" and I never respond leave leaving people scratching there heads and and thinking of me as mysterious but it's simply because I'm su bed to over 1000 channels like I'll watch a tkor vid and then watch a leopard gecko vid and people are like"werent you in tkor"
@@justsomememingbigyoshiwith4832 lol yea I see you on tons of random leopard gecko videos that I watch 😂
@@Gingerblossom6969ily it's not just leopard gecko videos I watch memes and things like that and people see my comments and they're like oh my goodness why do I see you and literally ever UA-cam channel

First Like!! I Love your videos and geckos. I watch your videos with my parents to convince them to get me one!
Maggie Henry Oh cool good luck on convincing them😄
@@cresteddd Thank you!
Thank you! Good luck :D
@@leopardgeckotalk Thank you so much:)
I just finished setting up a terrarium to hold a crested gecko!! It's got so many plants growing in it and it's gonna be awesome!! I have a friend who will give me isoposds and springtails to add to the tank, I'm looking forward to it! 😊 I will be hoping to find a strong red or orange one with lots of White 😁 I will have the gecko on Thursday!!
i got a leopard gecko yesterday and hes is already adjusting very well. im not experienced at this but i watched all your old videos and they were super helpful! Would you consider remaking a "how to take care of your leopard gecko" video?
You deserve 100million subs
I have you ever consider to turn of the heating at night? It’s the most natural for your geckos. Mine go down to 18 degrees Celsius in winter nights and be perfectly fine when the heat turns back on
I agree! In their Natural Habitat the temperatures go down to about 20 degrees Celsius during night and it‘s best to simulate that in their tank.
Noah it actually gets down to 10 degrees Celsius in the winter nights and up to 45 degrees during the summer months but the burrows that they live maintain a stable temperature and there is no need to replicate such extreme temperatures
Yeah I have wondered about it. Maybe there will be a thermostat that can be dimmed at night (like you could set it without doing it manually). However because the tank is so big, the other side of the tank is cooler, and so I wonder if that counts? lol
Leopard Gecko I think there are some. Though I don’t believe that the cold would hurt since the rocks maintain the heat of the day I personally just turn it all off and my house gets pretty cold during the winter (not like American people that heat their houses year round)
I have a leopard gecko. I named him Spidey lol because the day I got him he started climbing his enclosures wall (I was shocked and luckily he didn't fall, I brought him down) he is about 7 months now and really so beautiful. I was lowkey hoping he was going to get really chunky like Diego but he isn't 😅 I still love him though
Can you do a video on how to link everything together? For example if i want another gecko, how to use one thermostat for two lamps
i love that on custom reptile habitats.com the setup she uses is called the Diego Deluxe. :)
We thought it fitting as Rebecca does so much for these little dudes :-)
my gecko is only 3.5 months old and she settled right in, never stopped feeding when I brought her home from Petsmart (srry i didnt know) and after getting her deep heat projector and switching to a more naturalistic setup she's getting really comfortable.. in fact begging to come out!! She climbed right out of the cage into my hand when I went to throw her some extra crickets. This girl is definitely getting a large tank... She's in a 35 gallon right now and still needs more. Definitely need to jimmy rig it so she's got things to climb on tho...
That’s great to hear! The only suggestion I have is to switch to a halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat, they’re actually more natural and beneficial than DHPs. The levels of IRA and IRB they produce more closely mimic the sun (DHPs produce barely any IRA, the most beneficial wavelength) :)
I have a similar cage for my gecko (Artemis) your design is really nice! My cage is 100cm x 40cm x 40cm :) you inspired me to get my gecko btw!
Ah very nice!! :)
That’s so cool it’s like a huge mansion
Thanks :D
Sometimes it is fun go back to older videos.
Such an amazing tank! I wish I had the space for one like this for my girl. Fun story, her name is also Diego!
Good morning leperd gecko!!!
Every time I whatch your videos I feel like I am missing a lot
Ah no don't worry, it's taken time for me to get this kind of tank lol
My geckos have a terrarium this size, and they absolutely love it UwU
Ah brilliant!
Leopard Gecko Also: Something you Should know, is that the Terrarium size we‘re talking about as huge and very spacious is actually the minimum space requirements for 1-2 leopard geckos by law in my country. Mine actually use all the space provided, and even though they have 9 hides in total, they really prefer 2 XD
Before you do a major upgrade think of your geckos age and don't wash all of their props. Mine was devastated. Should have left her smell on some things and wash later if needed at all. And don't get rid of their old setup in case you need it for a bit of time if things don't go too well. 2 mths + and still will not come out much at all. Maybe Rebecca has some suggestions for these set backs as I haven't been able to find anything.
I’m saving for a Leo, what would you recommend in terms of heating and lighting? I think I’m going to get the 2ft vivarium from Swell Reptiles.
I love your videos! I just have one question: How big is Diego?
What grass did you use for this set up and what do you use to mist the tank? Awesome tank by the way! :)
Hi! I'm new to your channel, so forgive me if you've already answered this in another video, but where do you get insects for your geckos?
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I was just wondering how long you leave your deep heat projector on. I totally understand if you dont want to reply to this because im sure you have said it in another video so sorry😣
Is he a supergiant? :3 hes so big and healthy!
