- Mourning geckos, day geckos, and other tiny reptiles can make great pets, but their babies are very small and can escape easily from most enclosures. Have no fear, Clint will show you an inexpensive and easy DIY vivarium that will work even for the tiniest of inhabitants.

Merry Christmas, everyone! If you haven't yet seen our video on mourning geckos, don't miss it! ua-cam.com/video/L4CHEge5wlc/v-deo.html
It's the perfect way to celebrate Christmas mourning (no spelling error). It has virgin births and gifts that keep on giving. Heck, it might become your new Christmas tradition. Move over Home Alone, one is never alone with parthenogenesis!
Phrasing Clint, Glorious Holes, huh?
Btw instead doing all of this but only if you want it to be different from others you can get those tiny scorpion enclosures for like 17$
I am cracking up over, "just so if I get pulled over, I'll have a lot of explaining to do.
Clint: repeatedly says "glorious hole"
Me: *squints* "wait..."
"Just so that if I get pulled over, I'll have a lot of explaining to do."
I'm loving these jokes today 😂
Bruhh😂... Clint is too pure for us we don't deserve him.
As soon as he said that I was like aw damn lemme see look at the comments 😅
@@ZombiePeachez Hahaha. Same. Video is currently paused. hahah
Glory Hole! LOLOLO
I checked in the description below, but don't see a link for ordering a Jason.
He's on backorder...
I thought someone would post that lol
He's in that "glorious hole"
he’s in jail for possession of sphagnum moss
Sometimes they’re placed under a different name.
Your videos never fail to brighten my day! Merry Christmas to you all (especially Gus Gus!)
Thank you so much! Hopefully this is the beginning of a great Christmas for you. I'll try to spoil Gus Gus a little extra for you.
Yay! Gus Gus deserves it
I searched everything from 'jayson' to 'jaison' to 'jay son' to 'jayson tool' trying to find out what a Jason was......
Then I played the video to find out a few seconds later.....
"This is what you really need. This is a hole saw. It's a saw, for cutting holes."
Thanks Clint. XD
Where is the amazon link for a Jason? I could really use one but I can’t find a Jason anywhere!
He's on backorder. Apparently he was limited edition...
If you move to Washington you wouldn't have to worry about having a bag of "moss"...😄😆😢😎
A truly renewable resource from roofs and sidewalks.
Hey neighbor! I’m in Oregon! Lol
I love it here...it
*cries in Eastern Washington*
:).-. :)
I know you don't do amphibian videos too often but could you one day make a video on pacman frogs? I love your channel as well by the way!
We will for sure.
@@ClintsReptiles you should do chubby frogs as well
Clint makes a joke about drugs,
Me: *chuckles*
Also Me: this was an amazing learning experience for baby Mourning Geckos!
The police are always happy to find Ziploc bags full of strange plant material in your car. It's normal.
Half Normal where did he make the joke
TwentyJuanSavvy ! When he was opening moss he said he was going to take it home with him, but he said the police wouldn’t pull him over.
First there was “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Then there was “Elf.” Now there’s the time Clint Laidlaw built a baby gecko jar! A holiday classic to be certain! Thanks for all your videos this year! Ever since one of them popped up in my UA-cam home page I’ve been spending so much time learning about reptiles that my partner got me a book about snakes 🐍 for Christmas, and I love it! I can’t wait to see the building come together and how this channel grows! Season’s Greetings and all the best in 2020!
Thank you so much! What a perfect choice of gifts :)
A glorious hole lol. My mind went straight to the gutter.... Wow
Mine too and now the Steel Panther song is stuck in my head!😋
Lol
5:33 6:29 "glorious hole"
Also I love Clint’s DIYs because it makes him feel like a reptile dad 🥺
This would be a perfect challenge for SerpaDesign!
Please do one video about Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches as pets and as insect feeders! :D
Merry Christmas Clint and friends!
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you!
How ironic... I was going to go watch a different kind of video after this one that featured glorious holes.
Thank you for gifting us with a video this wonderful morning. I definitely want a little gaggle of Mourning Geckos! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
(*spelling)
I love the idea of using the jar, I had never thought of that. I may have to build an enclosure that makes use of two 5 gallon cheese ball jars glued together to provide a bit more space. Another fun addition to a cheese ball jar would be some hamster tunnel for the geckos to explore in. They're native to caves and would probably love the chance to run around a little cave system. And since you can get such large amounts at one time, when they inevitably lay eggs in it, you can swap out pieces to relocate the eggs!
The amount of times Clint said “glorious hole” made me ✨🌿uncomfortable🌿✨
I have a few 12x12x18 exoterras lying around!!
Would they be suitable for a few?
If so how many??
Yes, but babies might be able to get out.
Ye I'd be moving them into jars!
Thanks
Based on what I've looked into as far as housing, probably 4-6 could share that space comfortably, depending on how dense any foliage is.
@@bearonatricycle1082 thanks I'll see
Best Christmas special on UA-cam
They are just the perfect geckos for a Christmas special.
Not securing the workpiece ☑️
No PPE whatsoever ☑️
Loose tie and rotating powertool ☑️
No experience with said powertool ☑️
Enthusiasm and Happiness ☑️
5/5 - Would watch you almost maim yourself again 😅
Engage safety squints
I put my two new gravid mourning geckos in a three gallon Exo-Terra, though I’m not sure when they will lay/if the eggs will hatch. Once they lay I’m moving them to a ten gallon Exo-Terra
#craftingwithclint happy little pothos so awesome
"Im gonna get my HOLE mess"
I dont think he did that pun on purpose but i spotted it
Thank you guys for the video, and for muting the power drill, that's one noise that I can't handle, and merry Christmas.
2:35 Clint: carelessly throws metal jar lid to the ground
Plastic lid: ha ha!
"This hole would allow any gecko on earth to escape from it"
How about a leachie tho...? 🤔
Leachies could just heckin rip through the lid there so strong lol.
Just kidding
@@dapperdino6044 they could though
Well depends on what the lid is made of
i’d say it’s still big enough
Merry Christmas! That was hilarious. If you end up with "explaining to do" try to record it.
What seems to be the problem, officer??
Also, I tried the 5 gallon pickle jars, but they were to heavy and all the pickles made me sick. Can't stand pickles to this day!
Wow! Where do they sell those?? Sounds like a Costco thing.
Might have to add these to my collection! also Happy Holidays everybody
They are difficult to justify not having in your life...
I will always be confused why the jar you used costs 50$ on Amazon when a 10 gallon tank costs less
Bc there are scammers that try to trick you into thinking it’s special
Hey Clint can you do a video about flying geckos.If you want it will be appreciated form me
This episode should come with a NSFW warning. Between the "glorious holes" and the suspicious baggy, someone is going to get in trouble lol
Now i wondering how to make a savanah monitor enclosoure
Just get a jar the size of a room...
@@ClintsReptiles hmmm, do dollar stores sell them?
@@ClintsReptiles That's a lotta cheese balls
To be fair you really only need like 3ft-4ft in height so with some crafty building you can place a 2nd poor life choice in a room sized cage on top of that one..
I think I saw a vid where someone used a small pool (the metal ones u can buy) for their sav enclosure
Mourning Geckos, the lesbians of the lizard community.
We now have a glorious hole 😂

I got my leopard gecko this morning, it’s a baby one :D
That's very exciting indeed!
So its a morning gecko
@@Joegattofan27 You are a tyrant warlord
As always im not disapointed
That's a relief :)
Hey there Clint, in the future when using power tools its best to lose the tie. You're probably okay with a drill but its still extremely dangerous.
Thanks for the silicon pad pro tip! I have burned myself so many times while crafting! Your videos are the best! 😀
Seems like an awfully small enclosure for them :(
i rly enjoy these practical videos 🥰🥰🥰🥰 happy holidays to the Clint's Reptiles team! 🎄🎆
Dude I never knew that's what silicon matts were used for. I bought mine to open jars 😆
One question where Can i buy a Jason or will an Andrew do
Clint making a weed joke is giving me life right now
Thank you for softening the sound of the drill.
Just did this for my mourning gecko hatchling. She’s currently exploring her enclosure right now
Is this also ideal for a couple of adults
isnt that too small for a gecko?
Yes it is way too small. I dont understand why he says this would be fine for Geckos to live in.
I don't have a hole saw nor do I have a whole saw.
Clint, it's so endearing when you laugh at your own jokes.
Great Video!
To see how youre building an enclosure for adult mourning geckos would be very interesting :)
Lol, what a coincidence! I just found/caught the mourning gecko that escaped from my dart frog terrarium a month or so ago. Fortunately, she stayed near the terrarium eating the escaped fruit flies and bean beetles. She is back with her sister now.
Ok now I want a Make It With Clint playlist, perhaps in the lead up to your reptile room you can show us some rad crafty goodness?
Hey man... I think I'm that new subscriber... "Officer it's to dampen my geckos hide... not to danken it..."
Tell me why I thought a Jason was a tool 😂😂😂😂
You are just so stinking cute!! You are so articulate yet sooo personable at the same time. I would watch a video of yours if you were teaching us how to watch grass grow. Thank you. I've always loved lizards. I had my first chameleon I bought at the state fair. He had pipe cleaner on a chain so you could "wear " him..this was long before PETA or other animal advocates. I thought he would like a fly to eat.....mind you in was 7...so I caught a fly and put it with my "Lizzy" and left him under our mesh pool cleaner out in the bright hot Sacraments sun and left him to "eat ". I came back awhile later to find my Lizzy was v
Now lizard jerkey. I felt sooo horrible but the lesson was learned. Don't put any animal out in the sun for 6 hours.
Hi Clint please do a sailfin dragon or green basilisk Picard video I’m begging you to shine sims lite on these awesome creatures
If I can find healthy adults, I will.
Yaaaayyyyy
Great video, I have to complain about the lack of SAFTEY GLASSES when drilling, and you had ur tie hanging down next to the spinning drill. SAFTEY FIRST PLEASE
Can you feed them crested gecko diet only?
If you don't like feeding bugs you could get a culture of springtails and stick them in the enclosure :D They'll clean up the poop and spilled food as well as providing appropriate sized insects for your gecko
Great with animals. Love your channel.
Not so good with power tools. 😆😆
The lid upside down on a wood block would have been a 5 second job.
However, you do have a PhD, so I bow to your passion and intellect.
Jason no! You just rinsed all the plastic bits and put more microplastics in the water system in Utah!
Americans really can't handle pets... That enclosure is WAY to small
It's for hatchlings that are much less than an inch long.
@@ClintsReptiles Oh, alright. I thought the geckos you put in there in the video also were hatchlings which are already a few days/weeks old, sorry
Is there any chance we could see a shingleback skink vid in the near future?
Great video Clint, thinking of breeding these to sell to classmates! 😄 I’ll also make sure to print out some care sheets for them too!
Thank you Clint. With out you my passion for reptiles would not have grown. Merry Christmas
I’ve wanted a ball python for quite a while now. But my husband didn’t want to start off with a snake. Your video on mourning geckos helped us come to a decision to start our collection of reptiles with one of these amazing girls. Thanks so much!
Loved this episode, wish more people would show beginners diy homes easy keeper reptiles. I'm thinking i may start my reptile collection with these.
Are there any pets you would recommend that would happily live in this size enclosure? Note I am arachnophobic.
Did you consider the mangrove monitor for you monitor videos
Also happy holidays
Yes. We will cover them. So many creatures, so little time.
Clint's Reptiles yay they where my second monitor ever and I live the crazy little guys
What’s happening, a real tip without plugging a store right after? Am I dreaming?
I love how happy you are all the time. When I'm having a crappy time I just come back and watch loads of your videos. I love your happiness for these animals. This must really be your dream job. X
Is this enclosure just for keeping babies? Could I get a bigger jar, say 2.5 gallons, and use that to keep a pair long term?
You don’t know how hard I gasped about this. A brand new fly rod and now Clint. Great
What happens when you have waay too many of these guys because they just keep breeding
Also, is 2 gallons ok for adults
I think you should have specifically put hatchling enclosure in the title. I don't think everyone will listen to the whole video and understand that this is meant for hatchlings, not adults 👍
Completely unrelated, but I just noticed that I have the same watch as you do
I might add, it is a very cool watch!
Thank you so much all of your videos inspire me every week I hate waiting for a new video
You're very welcome. Thank you for your kind words. Glad you didn't have to wait too long this week :)
Hey Clint, where do I get a Jason? Also are they captive bred?
I don’t know what it is about you but your videos make me really happy 😁
Hey Clint, quick question, is this a good first lizard if I plan on having one so they can not reproduce?
They kinda look like baby demogorgons on the downside
They do??
@@ClintsReptiles indeed they do
Clint:that's a glorious hole
Everyone dirty minded : nice
Could the Mourning Geckos live there permanently?
are mourning geckos okay in ten-gallons? i have a screen lid for mine that has clips to secure it on. there's no holes (apart from those in the screen because, well, its a screen)
I’m gonna call mine tsar after the tsar bomb which is the biggest nuke recorded
Ah yes
*sips wine*
a GLORIOUS HOLE of sorts
If your hole saw can go through plastic, it can go through aluminum.
Is this suitable for 1 adult mourning gecko?
Title: Clint talks about glory holes while stroking his lizard.
10:04 definitely gained a new subscriber😂😂😂
Can I use this with adult geckos (I just started research)
My dewalt drill does the same thing no matter how tight I put a bit in it gets loose usually the third time it stays. I m an electrician and i use a drill everyday so I know it's not me
We have made one like this for our hatchlings, does it need and light or heat source bulbs above the lid, maybe uv?
5:33
"We now have a GLORIOUS HOLE."
;)
Mate did you really just call that a "glorious hole"? lmfao
