Why did no one reply? And no one liked! That’s good I’m first to reply and like then U-U
I’m saying to myself “how could this go wrong?”
haha, it was only meant to be a 10 min wander 🙈
I need some help and advice.
I can't go out and get food for my two leopard geckos. Both females. And it's been 3 weeks since they last ate and their tails are begining to look thin.
Thanks to the coronavirus and the stupid non stop snow all day everyday, there's no chance of getting food or ordering them. It's sad.
I'm so happy for Diego, I wish I could spoil my leo like this
Turd Ferguson same 😄
Same I’m really unhappy with my leos’ current setups. So the first thing I’m gonna do when we are done renovating our house I’m going to build them huge terrariums.
Yeah I feel like I’m doing everything wrong, mine seems happy but I never see him out of his hide unless it’s time to eat idk if that’s normal and I never see him bask
@@kylielewis4181 what's the temp in it's enclosure? In the winter when my room was mid 60s, mine didn't come out much, but now that it's mid 70s she's out way more
Turd Ferguson I’ll have to check thank you for responding this will help me a lot thank you
Aww Diego wagging his tail on everything is so cute. He’s like “This is mine, this is mine. This. Is. Mine.”
Johanna Young That’s not inherently true. In this case, he is scent marking.
Yeah haha
Awww he’s such a chunky boi 🥰. I hope he enjoys his mansion of a tank😁
Thanks 😊
Are you going to get another leo to put in diego's old tank, or will you just get rid of it?
I don't have any plans to get another one for his tank. I may remove his background etc in the old tank as I don't really like it, but I may keep the tank just in case :)
@@leopardgeckotalk you never know when you'll need it.
When I move in my own house I want to make a terrarium about as big as this one for Loki :) I think he can't have too much space, he loves exploring
I have a somewhat large tank for my leopard gecko but she does not like to move or go anywhere in it but she does like to walk around when I handle her
@@Elliot88088 My gecko loki is in a terrarium thats 1 meter long and 50 cm wide and he explores it all so I want to go even bigger. My other gecko, Maze, doesn't move much and likes to stay in one hide. (She is in a seperate terrarium)
Cool
I recently just bought a baby bearded dragon who’s tank is right across for my leopard gecko, Gary’s tank and I’m pretty sure that my leopard gecko is jealous of the bearded dragon because he has a big 40 gal tank but now he is very small he he will grow to be very big
Aw nice :)
when he said :o i felt that
Diego looks so good in his new tank
Thanks :D
What morph is Diego? His back looks a bit like Apollo’s. Apollo is a Sunglow, though I suspect he has a little carrot tail.
Hybino. Hypo albino
@@violethermosillo But there's multiple strains of albino... I was wondering which one because my gecko looks pretty similar, even if the spots on her back seem to be split down the middle and she has a bit of orange on her tail. I got her from a small pet store, but they didn't keep in touch with the breeder so they don't know her genetics. x.x
Then again I guess you could mean "undetermined strain of albino" when you said "just albino"
I never know for sure because has from a shop and they just had him down as albino 🙈
I'm so happy for Diego! He's simply adorable exploring, like he's found his dream house. 🥰
Thanks :D
I like to move things around a bit (but not his preferred hide) in my leopard gecko's tank to give him new things to explore. It seems entertaining for them, and I enjoy watching what parts they like as well.
My leo would love it so much
Nice :D
I love how he’s so curious!!!
Thanks :D
I'll be getting a crested soon (my first reptile) and doing LOTS of research, your videos have been so helpful, I am binge watching them since I can't fall asleep LOL
Yes
Diego is sooo cute!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you :)
i am getting a gecko tomorrow and your videos are SO HELPFUL!! Please keep posting its very helpful for us newbies.
He says , leave me be!
haha yes :)
He is beautiful. He loves it! ❤
Thank you :D
Lol I love how he takes care to examine and scent everything.
yeah haha :)
Such a beautiful tank, Diego looked so happy exploring, so many nooks and crannies to check out.....tank goals for our little leo Gizmo!! 😁
Thank you :D
I have somehow NEVER seen diegos full body! He is absolutely adorable though! literally one of the cutest geckos i have ever seen!!! I LOVE HIM!
Aw thank you :D
@@leopardgeckotalk Thank you for posting such amazing content :D
My leo would stay in the hottest place in the tank 😂
Best place lol
Beautiful
Ok so Seven months ago I thought my leopard gecko died I woke up one morning and he wasn’t in the tank the lid was off I have a cat and two dogs that come in and out of my room because I always have the door open and I figured he was dead of course I still look for him for a very long time but I did not find him and after a few days I figured there was zero chance of him being alive I was cleaning my room about a week ago and I decided to try and get the vacuum in the vent and I liked in there and I saw a foot.... it was his foot I figured he was all dried out from being in the vent for seven months and he was going to be like a piece of beef jerky just dead and all dried up... I touch the back of the foot with screwdriver and he moved... I took them out and immediately put them back in his cage that was set up just with a different lizard. He’s alive and seems to actually be very healthy can anyone explain how he went seven months with no food or water the only thing he could’ve eaten was his sheds
That also was a winter in Maine. Yes he was inside but I only am at that house every other week to the heat often wasn’t on
Life uh, uh, uh, finds a way
When I was little my hermit crab climbed up my curtains and stayed alive for a whole year. My mom found her when she changed the curtains. We all freaked out. Animals are resilient. Your gecko probably found random insects to eat.
Poor gecko im happy he's still alive. I don't know what i would do if my geckos died. I have a crested gecko 2 leppard geckos one baby and 1 adult and one bearded dragon
He is a G
Love the video. Keep up the epic work.
Thank you :)
80 gallon bioactive habitat?! Oh man, it's beautiful, a dream.....🙃😻🌟🌟
I love thee look of this vivarium! Mine has a bioactive setup too but it doesn't look quite as natural as this one. The only cleanup crew she has at the moment are baby mealworms and I want a few different species because they're not too good at eating poop. She has a haworthia and airplant. I know springtails like humidity but they seem to be the best. I'm just afraid of making the pooping area too humid or her attacking the springtails and getting a mouthful of Earth Mix Arid/poop. I also like the look of giant orange, dwarf white and tropical grey woodlice but I don't know if they would establish and the same reasons as the springtails.
Ah I always heard that mealworms aren't great because they eat the roots of the plants? I am going to be using springtails, and possibly isopods :) I'm hoping diego doesn't notice them🙈
The roots of my haworthia have been left alone, but there may be that risk in future, so you could be right. It's all I've got at the moment, though I do want springtails and isopods. They're probably better than mealworms. Don't know why they haven't ate my plant if this is the case. An anomaly or just luck?
🥰🥰
Hey person that's reading this comment I hope you have a good day!! And I have a question it's sort of dumb but can I use nestle pure life water for my leopard gecko the ingrendients are purified water calcium chloride sodium bicarbonate magnesium sulfate. Thank you so much for answering I thank you very much
plz do a isopod video of porcellionoides pruinoses (tropical grey wood lice)
Oh God what happens( I'm commenting from the begging of the vid) it says gone wrong. im worried for diego 😖😥😖
Love that song with geckos, really needed that right now really made me forget about everything else going wrong. Thank you ♥️
Speaking of, what's that song called?
Aww I'm glad :) The song is cha capella
Thanks :)
Only if my leopard gecko would act like this instead of being a grump XD
Where do you get a arcadia 2% natural sunlight light from that 300mm!!!
This is soo cute! Love. Your vids!
Thank you :D
Oh , it's just that he got out of reach for a bit 😌 what a relief
haha yeah he's just like 'nope im staying in here' lol
@@leopardgeckotalk yeah, I was pretty worried for him
You can't put leopard geckos on sand they will get impaction
The tank looked amazing but quick question where do you have all this space? A where house?
It's probably a spare bedroom
Yeah it's currently in our spare bedroom (in my family house), but when we move out we will have a room for the reptiles :)
@@leopardgeckotalk What is the number of pets that you currently have and what is the number you are hoping to have?
If it’s all set up why are you not leaving him in there? Lol
Congrats on 200K Great video! He's so cute! 🦎❤🦎
Thank you :D
Omg just found this channel because I had a leopard gecko a few years ago and I have just had my birthday and looking to buy one.
The funny thing is, I was just thinking of calling mine Diego! It’s a great name! 🦎
Ah brilliant :) Well welcome to the channel :)
Leopard Gecko 🦎❤️💖💕
My leopard gecko wags it's tail like a rattlesnake when it hunts crickets.
so I see my male gecko get paler, but I have never actually seen him shed, or see the skin get loose. I do keep his tank around 30-40% humidity. he has definitely grown since I got him (3 months at start, now 8 months old). should I be concerned? never seen any stuck shed either...🤔
also, I dont have an actual light on my gecko... he is in a well lit room and I have a HEAT lamp. but when I tried to buy an actual light at the pet store the worker wouldnt allow me to, saying it would hurt his eyes. I understand the sensitivity of their eyes. but they need lighting to right??
They shed pretty quickly and eat their shed. That's probably why you dont notice
They can do without lightning if you use d3 supplements i think, but then you need a deep heat heater
Hi I'm thinking about resuing a leopard gecko and your videos are so helpful thank you but I was just wondering where do you get the uvb lap from in a previous video I saw that it was the 2% natural sunlight one 300mm but i cant seem to find it anywhere
5-7% would be better. Check lightyourreptiles.com.
What light do you recommend best for leopard gecko thinking about rescuing one
They don’t need any lights, although linear/tube UVB (from Arcadia or zoo med) is often beneficial. Just keep in mind that some albinos don’t like it. And, if you get UVB, use supplements without d3.
I love him so much he haas the cutest face!! But not as cute as my leopard gecko snap!!!
haha thanks :)
I have a question, is my leopard gecko just active? Because I haven't been able to get a deep heat projector yet she still has all the active and strong qualities you described when you gave I think it was Gizmo a deep heat projector.
Yeah, she’s just active. It’s normal for them to be active in the evening, during the warmer months especially. My gecko is pretty active in the evenings right now and she doesn’t have a DHP
Sooo I have a leopard gecko. I’ve had her for a couple months now. She’s starting to make me nervous she’s sleeps a lot and I don’t really see her eating as much as she used to. Any suggestions?
Diego: don’t go here?? Okay I shall go there
I just got myself my first leopard gecko and I can’t find this info on any sites so I was wondering what time should the lights turn on and turn off
I put mine on a timer (UV) 7-9 am and 4-6pm.
my gecko likes to sleep outside his hide for most of the day. Have you seen this before?
Check the heat mat isn't too hot
I think my leopard gecko is gravid, i watched your video and it was alot of help and i can see oval shapes from under her belly, iv noticed this for a week or two now, any advice? Im worried shes gunna lay her eggs somewhere i cant find them!!
Could I keep my two female leopard geckos together?
No. They’re solitary animals and don’t benefit at all. It’s extremely stressful and dangerous for them. I have seen countless cases of females fighting, even after years of seeming fine together. Not worth the risks at all.
The first time I handled my leopard gecko, it jumped out of my hands and ran down the crack between my dresser and the wall. I quickly got him out but it was scary
oh no 🙈😅
Can't wait for skittles to be that size. Question the lighting in his enclosure, is that on during the night and what type is it. I know you said it but I kinda need written so o can take it to the reptile place.
So my schedule for lighting is going to be 7-9am UV (shadedweller ProT5), 9am-4pm LED (Jungle Dawn) and 4-6pm UV again :)
You’re great at making tanks! I get a little confused on your videos lol, sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing... great video!
Laughing noises
what did you use for the rock thing on the walls and floor?
Its a kit and the links are in the top description :-)
Aw, haha! He really just wasn’t going anywhere. Lol
haha, he found his happy place lol
If anyone could help, I would be very grateful.
I have a 4 year old leopard gecko, though I have only had him for about a month and a half, almost two months. He has always had nerve damage in his back legs, so he drags them for the most part. Does anyone have any advice for substrate, or just advice on helping him move around in general? For my first reptile it’s been a real experience trying to figure out to help him move around. My current substrate (as of today) is eco earth, he was on sand when he was in my friend’s care for four years prior.
Eco earth isn’t a great option since it can be dusty and cause joint problems. Good solid options include paper towel, textured tile, and non-adhesive shelf liner. Generally it’s best to offer digging enrichment with reptisoil, organic top soil (without fertilizer or perlite, Scott’s is a good brand), or a bioactive mix. Although I’m not sure how much a handicapped gecko would dig. You could try half tile half soil and see how he does
Fiona Shepley thank you so much! I’ll try to find some tile for him!
Congrats on 200k! Diego looks like a very healthy and happy boy
Thank you :D
This music is oddly contagious yet not annoying and makes me want to do the congo and drink coconut water on an island. With every possible reptile I can squeeze and love. That's Reptile lover heaven. Weird music, and lots of reptiles. KEEP THE MUSIC.
Hey Leopard Gecko! My gecko isn't eating, and he just follows his reflection around the tank. What should I do?
Have you tried offering him other insects. I do have videos on why geckos may not be eating.
@@leopardgeckotalk I've tried mealworms before and he seems to like them, but he usually eats the crickets just fine. I've had him for almost 3 years. Could the crickets be too big for him?
I'm very confused for my leopard gecko currently i supplement 5 out if the 7 days calcium plus d3 and 2 out if the 7 herptivite am i doing ny supplements right ny gecko is 0 to 6 months old thanks
A glitch just happened where the audio of a campaign add for trump with inspirational music and trump’s promises played while your gecko flopped around
Not hating, the viv is stunning and the gecko is an absolute beauty, but I find it amusing you created a natural looking viv for a totally unnatural looking leopard gecko.
my leopard gecko and i love to sit and watch your videos. thank you!
aw thank you :)
I want a leopard gecko soooo bad but I’m barely 13 Nd I don’t have the money for that🥺but I do really want one I’ve done research in ur channel and others for over 1 year or something but I gave up on the research and I forgot a bit of stuff
What exactly does it look like when males are scent marking? Do they just kinda rub their cloaca on stuff? Also this video was adorable I just love Leo's and their cute faces and funny personalities.
The "v" of pores above the base of their tails exudes a waxy-ish substance that they drag across things to mark.
Dawhhh :3
:)
He really did not want to go in initially. At 0:17 it almost looked like he was going to be placed snout first, completely vertical.
how come you have to wait before permanently moving him into the tank? is it to get him used to it first or is it because it's bioactive?
Can someone help me? Just bought eco earth and a heat mat for now, do I put the mat under the tank or right underneath eco earth? (I think I noticed her put the heat mat right under the eco earth and not under the tank)
Hello Leopard gecko i dont know if you remember me but Im Omar Nunez. Im the person who had 10 gallon tank and upgraded to a 20. Im the person who said you saved a leos life, the friend who used calci sand. Anyway I just wanted you to know im Omar and Im always updated on your vids. I just changed my name to Hoodini. Thank you 😁😝
Hope you know
And I loved your choice of music. Also good vid.
Aw brilliant :)
@@leopardgeckotalk thank you
Hi I was just wondering what the name of the music you used when he was wondering around
Please can you tell me how you made your UA-cam profile picture
My friend on Instagram (JinxyCatInk) drew it for me :)
@@leopardgeckotalk thank you
Finally u got 200k subs
yasss :)
Can you do a video of taking care of one that is tamed but is still scared
I did a video about taming and handling, it's from this year I believe, have you seen that video? It may help :)
Leopard Gecko I might have but ty so much I have a leopard gecko that is 1and a half years old though I have a 10gallon but I will get a20gallon tank soon
You hit 200k btw! Congratulations!
I use a heat pad for my gecko gecko do i need overhead heating?
You’ve already asked this multiple times, and you’ve already been answered. You don’t need to keep asking. I’m sure Rebecca would give an answer similar to the one I’ve given you.
Ok thanks
What a lazy guy lol. He didnt even put his legs down to get out of your hand haha
I have a baby leopard gecko, shes 7 months old. Im stuck for names, no names really stick with her any help would be appreciated? I have a crested gecko an her name is lizzie, lizzie the lizard i know original ha.
Leona ? :)
THIS IS SO CUTE THO OMG
Thank you :D
@@leopardgeckotalk :D
He just wants to make sure everyone knows it’s mine all mine. 😃
yes haha *lick* = mine! :')
Hey, just a question. My leo has just reached 1 yr from hatching, but she still seems really small in comparison to my other adult leo (got her at 3 yrs old hence asking) when do they stop growing? Or do they ever stop growing? Currently in lockdown so going to the vets for anything other than an absolute emergency isnt possible 😅
Over the next year or two she’ll likely get bigger. If she doesn’t, it could just be a difference in the genetics of your geckos, or she could be stunted. When I got my leo, the person rehoming her said she was 8 months to a year old. She was very small, much smaller than an older leo I had at the time. Now she’s a few years old and she’s much bigger. Are your geckos housed together?
Fiona Shepley thanks, ill just keep an eye on her then :) and absolutely not D:
Wow, soooooo cute! I hope to get my gecko Pigeon a tank like that one day!!!
Thanks :) Aww i lvoe your geckos name :')
That's a cool tank
Thank you :D
Hello! I need an urgent answer on this (not related to the current video) my crested gecko was with a male before I got her in September of 2019. She laid a clutch of eggs in mid October which I assume were fertile. She has not laid ANY eggs since! Is something wrong with her? I don’t want to lose my baby.
Nope sometimes females will lay 'duds' which are just infertile eggs. Lyra's the same.
I have a question PLEASE someone answer, I bought a leopard gecko about 2 weeks ago and I’ve noticed that every time he finishes eating, like right after he twists his whole body at least 2 or 3 times. My question is should I be concerned? Is this a bad thing?
That isn’t normal. I’ve never heard of a gecko doing that before. I’d get him checked out at an exotic vet just to be safe
Spectacular! Diego has to be the luckiest Gecko in existence. Such an amazing enclosure and when you're recording close up it could be out in the wild. He will have so much fun!!!! I have been referring people on Facebook to your videos almost everyday.
Thank you!!! 😊💕
I’m planning on building my own tank for a leopard gecko. Is a 32L in. x 18w in. x 8h in. A big enough tank to house a single gecko?
The dimensions for the bottom are good, but they should be given more climbing height than that. 12-18” at least
How could anyone "dislike" this video, what is wrong with you? 😑It looks great he is gonna have a fab time!😁Can't wait to do up my leos tanks, given me some inspo x
Thank you :) weirdly some people get angry that I have a bigger tank - I even had one person say he's kept his gecko in a tupperware box for 5 years and its fine 🤦🏻♀️
My gecko would just stay in place,thinking if he just got kidnapped by aliens.😂😂
Then go in the darkest place and start sleeping.
Hahaa, kidnapped by aliens, but I see now! lol
My gecko Jarvis is almost identical to Diego in size and weight it seems, so I have to ask are the little fat armpits a sign of a healthy gecko? I've read that they're completely normal and that it's a sign of obesity, just curious as to what your opinion is 😁🦎
They’re a sign of oversupplementing and/or overfeeding. What’s their diet and supplement schedule? Do you have a calcium dish?
My guy used to only poop in one corner until I redid his enclosure. Gave him a bigger enclosure with eco earth and more things to climb on and explore and he just poops all over everything 🤦♀️
Eco earth can be dusty and cause joint problems. Reptisoil, organic top soil, or a bioactive mix would be much better
I just got a 1yr old leopard gecko and the previous owner said they've never really handled her; I was wondering if it's too late to get her used to being handled at her age? I'm new to taking care of geckos.
its never to late
My leopard gecko got sick a few nights ago and died this morning
Do you think you could make a video about that?
Mabye?
She does have a few vids about grieving the loss of your pets...
I introduced my leo to his new tank a few days ago and he did not seem impressed hahah As soon as he found out that his favorite hide still exists and is in there he went into it and stayed in there until the next day 😆 The next day when I fed him (I use a clicker to give a signal when I have food, he reacts very good to it and as soon as I click it his little head pops out of whatever hide he Is in!) he actually started to roam around and look at everything for the first time and also put his scent on everything hahah
Ah that's really cool. :) Yeah they always usually seem a little wary when they first move in, though Diego seemed quite settled :')
