so i have a leopard gecko it hasnt quite found out that when my hand goes in it means i want some social time but it loves to eat its good at hunting and its doing well
I just got a leopard gecko two weeks ago, and I am so happy with my decision. She has finally recognized me as "Food Beast" instead of " Scary Predator." She still gets spooked once in a while, but she knows if the door is open and I'm hovering, delicious buggies will soon follow.
@@anglewillams1009 Do it! She has been nothing but a source of joy in my life since I got her. She's quite used to me now, though her individual personality is a bit introverted. If she is not in the mood to interact, she will just turn around and walk away. However just as often, she is willing to walk up onto my hand and lets me hold her. I'm now "Food Beast/Climbing Gym." ❤️
@@anglewillams1009 I highly recommend!! My leo always comes out when me or my mom comes into the room and smiles, he runs around at night and it's so fun to watch. It's amazing how much personality a lizard of his size can have 🥰
I’m saving money to get a tank, and I alredy have 2/3 hides, a water bowl, decor, food bowls, and 1/3 items for substrate!! Your making me so excited!!!!
I got scared when I tried to feed my leopard gecko with dubia roaches and the roach climbed away from the bowl and started running around my table and I screamed. That was kinda terrifying
@@kennleyjean5055 I’ve kept crickets ONCE and they all died so I decided that they were not for me… 😅 My gecko didn’t even eat the two I offered to her. She’s picky!
Another good way to give your Leo some exercise and entertainment is to cover the floor and drain of a clean bathtub with a bath mat or towel. Can add something to climb on if you like (towel draped over box or just another jumbled up towel). Leo can’t climb tub walls but can run/walk/explore while you brush your teeth, etc. Any enclosed space with no (even tiny) escape routes can work.
Honestly, I'd switch from coco fiber to Reptisoil if you can find it. Coco fiber can be very dusty when dry, and cause excess humidity when wet. Reptisoil is less dusty, and can hold on to moisture if you need. I use it my humid hide, because I've been told that if your gecko ends up eating sphagnum moss, it can cause impaction. I like dropping insects in to let my gecko hunt without supervision unless she's refusing food a the time. Sometimes my crickets and dubias end up in the humid hide, so I figured it best to put Reptisoil in there as well so that she doesn't accidentally eat some. But then again, it looks like you supervise your gecko a lot more so the moss might be fine for your case. Also I heard you're not supposed to gut load your feeders with peppers; it's just something everyone in the community says so... I just never do. But I like the tile. I'm a huge fan of tile in gecko enclosures. And not to mention your hide setup and decorations look great. I suppose if you wanted you could include a bit more verticality for enrichment, but it looks like he has plenty to climb on. I don't know why this comment turned into an unsolicited tank review, but I felt like it was important after I ripped on coco fiber and sphagnum moss. Figured I should clarify that I don't hate it or anything.
hey Daniel, appreciate the feedback! I'll have to look into it. nothing wrong with sharing your experiences ;) and I love getting constructive comments like this!
Hello fish for thought or should I say Chris I’ve been watching ur vids for the past year Evan the turtle girl I’ve been watching ur vids for a very long time now hope both of u ar staying healthy😁❤️
@Dhanvanth Kesavan not turtle girl but i need you to listen very carefully: most reptiles dont like being in groups or even pairs, theyre solitary until breeding season when they do the do and leave. The only way you could possibly have two red eared sliders- even if theyre opposite genders and you are ok with the possibility of them breeding - you gonna need a HUGE enclosure for them to sorta have their own teritory or get away spot. Also you tell the gender by their front claws and tails: longer male shorter female. Also females are bigger size than males so require bigger enclosures Unless you have a baby then you need to wait for them to be older
@Dhanvanth Kesavan also important thing to know: if you do in fact want to have two turtles, female pairs will have the lowest amounts of agression, it still can happen, just not as likely as two males.
Your gecko looks just like mine. His name was Leo, he sadly passed away a few weeks ago. But I’ve never seen another leopard gecko like him until now. What a cute boy.
also for the eco earth within the jar you should missed it because the way it is right now is very dry and Dusty and it can get in their eyes nose and mouth
appreciate the insight! I'm actually trying to see to buy one of my own little gecko. Making the certain arrangements to do so and doing my research. This video did actually help me see what I'm going to be doing everyday if I finally get one.
Thank you so much for your videos! My siblings and I recently got an eastern painted turtle and your videos were so helpful and probably the reason we were able to get Zoom!
I love how you do these types of episodes when you show everyone what your set-up looks like, and you explain a LOT-which is very helpful to people, including me I LOVE reptiles!
I got a baldy super hypo from petsmart a couple weeks ago. Seems very healthy, a great hunter, and now just trying to tame him. I can’t wait till he gets used to me and trusts me completely
I don’t have any big climbing thing for my Leo because knowing her she will get stuck in the weirdest position ever and she is one of the Leo that doesn’t care where she walks
I just wanted to say that this was very helpful! I’m getting my leopard gecko in a couple days and I just wanted to go over the feeding and this routine was so helpful and educational. Thank you. ☺️
My Jinx is also a terrible hunter! It takes her a minute to notice the food after it has been placed, and she misses it quiet a few times. She teaches me patience🙃
Hi, love ya videos! Just a question do geckos need UVB light as well as heat mat? I’m going to buy a gecko tomorrow and the pet shop sells a bundle where the heat mat and UVB bulb comes in with it
Turtle girl, I appreciate you teaching us about leopard geckos. They are sooooo cute like mini dinosaurs. I so wish they are like Russian Tortoises 🐢 and eat vegetables. I hate bugs 🐛! But other than bugs, they are really such adorable pets to own. Thank you for all these information.
I just got a baby lepoard geco and he is so cute I love him he's been doing good and he has a forty gallon tank I'm sorta doing the same thing everyday for day routine
Omg I saw your dad at the airport this summer he is so sweet and sry I have not been following my dad would not let me get a subscription to yt but I have been following you
Really great pod cast & set up.....a tip though, noticed he was slightly shy of attempting to grab food from bottom of viv which looked to be a hard surface with no sand ect.....think his reluctance could be that he is banging chin / mouth when lunging.
Love your style and your gecko, he’s so cute! I have 3 Leopard geckos as well as a beardie, and a crestie. I keep our most elderly lizard in my preschool classroom, I enjoy showing the kids how to handle and care for him- valuable learning about habitat, shedding, and behavior (and responsibilities!) I also keep a Dubia colony, they particularly like a wet mossy hide or bowl for molting too- I also feed the feeder insects a dry meal specially formulated in addition to veggies. It’s neat to see your set up and great to have fresh reminders - like “repti safe” for water, I use the tap water that rests in a pitcher for 24 or more hours but will add repti safe as well. Thank you! Looking forward to viewing some of your videos too🦎💕
I’ve had my leoperd geckos for 1 year this month and they still are scared of me one of them loves me and the other is basically using me for food 😂 I am handling her more often so she gets use to me but it still needs more work ❤❤❤
Do you know any food that I can feed my leopard gecko that is not live? Because my mom does not have the time to go to the store every single week for crickets. And we do not want it to make any noise.
He is so stinkin cute! our Beared Dragon he doesn't eat unless its moving lol so what I did I put him on the floor and let the Dubia run and he loves it because he was chasing the dubia
Wow sometimes I really wonder how Leo’s can survive in the wild 😂. It’s okay though, Kuzon tried his best to be a vicious hunter. Just checking out your Leopqrd gecko for my own baby Leo’s.
I have a 7 year old leopard gecko he’s huge had him since he was a baby but I can’t hold him he gets jumpy if I try. Can you give any tips? Glad to see that they just don’t see the bugs easily because I always worried mine couldn’t see well or something. I do the same thing with pep talking him to get it 😂
Hey! I have a leopard gecko and its tail isn’t as big as the other leopard gecko’s, She is only 3 years old but im still scared that i might not be feeding them right. If you have the time please tell me what i could do! And also she has metabolic bone disease, so is there anyway to make her feel more comfortable walking?
Hello turtle girl I have a question when your feeding your geckos does the food like the waxworms and crickets have to be ALIVE when you feed him cuz I’m not a worm or cricket person
I’m planning on getting a leopard gecko. But I wanna make sure I can meet all the things that my future baby would need so she or he can live a good happy healthy life in a good enclosure that’s not going to be bad for her or him.
Hey, I'm SUPER LATE but anyways lol. I'm thinking of getting a leopard gecko so I have a question, do you need reptisafe for for the water? Like NEED it? I'm just makeing sure lol
My leopard gecko named Loki is such a snob he will not eat unless it’s moving sometimes I have to poke it so that it will move for Loki. I love Loki and he’s really cute. He also winks at me alllll the time idk it’s weird
@@TheTurtleGirl I did a little bit of research and the moss is just dead I bought it at a pet store and it comes dead and remains white but when you mist it it still holds the water
So my son got a leopard gecko a couple days ago and we were told they sleep during the day and are active at night but FANG never seems to come out of his rock. My son had to move his rock out of the tank last night just to feed him. Is there anything we can do to help him become more active?
Coconut fibre isn’t the best option since it’s unnatural and tends to be dusty when dry. It’s best to use a soil/playsand mix for the entire substrate (or at least half of it).
Hi !! I have had my leopard gecko for almost a year and when I first got home I let him settle in but then I tried handling him every night for 2 months but he never really got used to me. I haven’t tried to hold him in a bit but when I do he really doesn’t like it I’m not sure how I can gain his trust a bit more. Any tips?
They are very food motivated try that put a cricket on your hand and let it walk up to it. It helps it get used to your hand and it knows that seeing your hand always doesn't mean getting picked up.
Hi umm I have a question and I don't know what you'll be able to answer it but how big should a leopard gecko tank be please if you don't mind because I have done alot of research and all of the vids say different sizes I am getting a leo this Saturday and I really trust your care vids so maybe you could help me if you don't mind thx btw cuzon is soo cute
I haven't gotten a Leopard Gecko yet but I want to. And I have thought of Goldie or Freckles or Golden Freckles and call if different things around that
i’m a 11 and i was wondering if u think these awesome geckos are hard to take care of(i’m also trying to convince my parents cause i have a dog) and if they like to interact all that jass, thanks
Leopard geckos are by far one of the easiest reptiles to take care off easy to maintain if your looking for your first reptile i got my first gecko just a year ago adult one at first he was scared but after awhile I let him in his tank then i slowly started to handle him he sure loves worms havent gotten any crickets just few months ago i recently got a bearded dragon as well :) hes growing fast and its on his 4th shed :) on my geckos tank since he poops in the same spot i usually just put some toilet paper there so when he does pee or poops i can just grab it and throw it away and put a new roll in the same spot easy clean up its always best to have a deep dish water bowl for them a water bowl thats not deep enough water will dry out quickly idk if you have upgraded the water bowl
@@TheTurtleGirl no thank you for making these video :) for people who are looking for there first reptile pet because ive seen many geckos die or arent taken care of properly especially when little kids want them ive seen in my local petco store little kids asking their parents if they can buy one but the workers there tell them before you buy it do some research also they tell them to know how to maintain them seen some people would get mad when the workers would tell them that
Assuming you mean mealworms, keep in mind that they’re not healthy for their main diet and should make up no more than 25% of their diet. Live crickets, roaches, silkworms, and black soldier fly larvae can be fed regularly. Mealworms, super worms, and hornworms can be fed occasionally. The more variety in their diet, the better.
@@Gumorisco11 true, but in those cases you should still try to switch the gecko to healthier feeders. Many picky eaters can be encouraged to try new foods.
New geckos should be quarantined on paper towel for the first six weeks to monitor their health. After, a suitable loose substrate such as a soil/playsand mix is best for digging enrichment (assuming their husbandry is correct so they can pass it).
Can you please show us what to buy for our leopard geckos as starters and their food and things they need for their enclosures and what kind of products to buy?
thinking about getting a gecko and want to know more about what to expect? check this ;P ua-cam.com/video/sbnKTcRteTk/v-deo.html
Yess 😌😌😌
Love your vids 🦎🥰🥰
is normal tap water ok for them?
so i have a leopard gecko it hasnt quite found out that when my hand goes in it means i want some social time but it loves to eat its good at hunting and its doing well
he also isnt very bright i'll have him hunt his food because he's good at it the times he misses he licks his lips like he caught it

Omg
Yeah if you get geckos you can't be scared of insects xD
When she picked up the dubia roaches with her bare hands. I could never. I'm way to scared lol.
As a gecko owner for almost a year I am still not used to the crickets! Like I can probably hold the roaches but crickets are creepy!
@@kennleyjean5055 I hate that they jump. But the fact that they kinda get paralyzed when grabbed is pretty good
She’s also handled the adult females with her hands. They’re really big

Do you NEED to put repti safe mix into the water or can I give them a bowl of bottled or tap water????
Should I be using reptile sand for substrate or are those lino tiles equally suitable? I thought geckos like to dig?

They are very food motivated try that put a cricket on your hand and let it walk up to it. It helps it get used to your hand and it knows that seeing your hand always doesn't mean getting picked up.
Hi umm I have a question and I don't know what you'll be able to answer it but how big should a leopard gecko tank be please if you don't mind because I have done alot of research and all of the vids say different sizes I am getting a leo this Saturday and I really trust your care vids so maybe you could help me if you don't mind thx btw cuzon is soo cute
either a 20 or bigger
I haven't gotten a Leopard Gecko yet but I want to. And I have thought of Goldie or Freckles or Golden Freckles and call if different things around that
aww those are some cute name ideas!
@@TheTurtleGirl thanks!!
Do you have a tank setup video ? 🫶
What is that at the bottom of your tank I trying to see what is the best for a Leopard gecko before I get one
I love geckos but I think I am going to get one plus thank you for helping me learning about them
i’m a 11 and i was wondering if u think these awesome geckos are hard to take care of(i’m also trying to convince my parents cause i have a dog) and if they like to interact all that jass, thanks
I'd say they're relatively simple...actually just did a video on them! ua-cam.com/video/EMELh4g1aEQ/v-deo.html
What supplements do you give him?
Leopard geckos are by far one of the easiest reptiles to take care off easy to maintain if your looking for your first reptile i got my first gecko just a year ago adult one at first he was scared but after awhile I let him in his tank then i slowly started to handle him he sure loves worms havent gotten any crickets just few months ago i recently got a bearded dragon as well :) hes growing fast and its on his 4th shed :) on my geckos tank since he poops in the same spot i usually just put some toilet paper there so when he does pee or poops i can just grab it and throw it away and put a new roll in the same spot easy clean up its always best to have a deep dish water bowl for them a water bowl thats not deep enough water will dry out quickly idk if you have upgraded the water bowl
thanks for sharing and for the tips!
@@TheTurtleGirl no thank you for making these video :) for people who are looking for there first reptile pet because ive seen many geckos die or arent taken care of properly especially when little kids want them ive seen in my local petco store little kids asking their parents if they can buy one but the workers there tell them before you buy it do some research also they tell them to know how to maintain them seen some people would get mad when the workers would tell them that
Assuming you mean mealworms, keep in mind that they’re not healthy for their main diet and should make up no more than 25% of their diet. Live crickets, roaches, silkworms, and black soldier fly larvae can be fed regularly. Mealworms, super worms, and hornworms can be fed occasionally. The more variety in their diet, the better.
@@nightinggale6470 thats only if the gecko likes them some are picky eaters not all of them will love those type of critters
@@Gumorisco11 true, but in those cases you should still try to switch the gecko to healthier feeders. Many picky eaters can be encouraged to try new foods.
Where did you get your tank’s flooring? 😍
A suitable loose substrate such as a soil/playsand or soil/sand/clay mix is best, digging enrichment is very beneficial for them :)
Do you have a heat lamp? That is necessary
I love your gecko he’s so tame
he's very sweet!
He is sooooo cute!!!
thanks for watching!
what material do you use for the substrait? im possibly getting a leopard gecko and doing research on how to set up their tank, love the video! :)
New geckos should be quarantined on paper towel for the first six weeks to monitor their health. After, a suitable loose substrate such as a soil/playsand mix is best for digging enrichment (assuming their husbandry is correct so they can pass it).
what time do you feed 0-6 months? is it 6am and 6pm how many times in a day?
Can you please show us what to buy for our leopard geckos as starters and their food and things they need for their enclosures and what kind of products to buy?
I want to get a leopard gecko.
But I was wondering if I have to treat water with reptisafe.
I do! For the water bowl :)
Tap water is generally fine. I used to use reptisafe but have read things about it being potentially unsafe.
Where do you get your flooring ?
