      How do you use a habistat I’m so confused! Do you plug the mat in to it then turn it to what heat you want?

    (Don't worry they have them in big tanks with 2 hides and the heatmat)

    You have been such an inspiration. I am 60 and my gecko is 17 and I have been upcylcling and shopping and setting up a new home for her. Better health products and heating.. She is so confused and skidish these last 5 days in her new home. But she is loving her wet hide! She never had one before 😔 I didn't know 🙁 but it's never too late to improve. Still only goes from her old hide to the wet.. But I see evidence she is exploring the other hide probably in the night. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH from me and Lizzy

  • @NeoNovastar

    Wow the modified hide is very enriching. Gecko will be scampering and dig around and dig out a cave. Very thoughtful;)

  • @AngellusBlack
    @AngellusBlack 6 лет назад +14

    It looks great! As a finishing touch I would just add a 'branchy' driftwood to fill up the empty space in the middle. It would really go well with the red rocks to give off a desert/canyon vibe :)

    @sonofsarkhan1082 6 лет назад +7

    I've been watching your videos for some time, I find them so much more informative than most other people posting about leopard geckos and I just want to say thank you for your work. Last week I purchased a Blazing Blizzard from a local breeder, he's my first gecko and overall I think I can thank you for my decision to get him. His enclosure is definitely going to need some upgrades but I think Leonidas is happy at his new home

  • @Zuxeh
    @Zuxeh 6 лет назад +34

    Geckos tend to poop in higher areas more when kept in smaller enclosures, presumably due to being unable to find a spot they consider far enough from their primary hides otherwise.

    • @Zuxeh
      @Zuxeh 6 лет назад

      The point was and is, they wish to go in the furthest point from their main hides. If this is a high point it will be there, if it not logic dictates that be a corner in standard shape enclosures.

    Hi Rebecca, Gizmo certainly liked exploring her new setup :o)
    I like the colour scheme.
    I am glad to hear that some of your geckos like to poo from high up. I was worried my Leo was not going till I moved the bark to spot clean and found hidden treasure lol. After surruptitiously watching My Leo I found out what he was doing. A couple of weeks or so after I got him settled in I observed Him climb to the highest point on his cork bark to do his business with his bum over the edge between the cork and the background. I thought it was odd.... but He seemed happy with the arrangement lol.
    He also likes to rearrange the substrate and will moved it in the night until he has made a cosy bed by shovelling it with his back legs along his viv and into his warm hide. I often sit up late and watch him and my Cresties by the dimmest of light to see what they get up to :0)

    I can’t wait till Christmas where I will (hopefully) get a bigger tank for my leopard gecko. I bought a ten gallon for my leopard gecko because a lot of sites said 10 gallons were good. But after a month I’m convinced it’s too small. But I can’t afford a bigger tank rn (the only free money I have right now is put aside for emergency vet visits and food and things like that)

    Hey Leopard Gecko (and anyone else who may know) I was wondering if you think the All Living Things Heat mat can be put underneath substrate like yours? I did it thinking it would be okay and now I’m worried it could overheat or harm my gecko in some way. I’ve heard of a few people who did this for years and nothing happened but I’m worried about it. I ordered a thermostat and it’s coming in on Monday. My terrarium resembles yours, but mines a 30 gallon glass, with wood around the bottom of the tank for decoration purposes. If I needed to put the mat on the bottom of the tank for sure I will be making a hole on the bottom of the wood big enough for air flow. Also I have 1 centimeter of Bio Dudes Terra Saharra covering the heat mat, and a humid hide as well. Thanks for any input! :)

    I love the new build! I am getting a leopard gecko soon and I have few questions, where do you buy feeder insects? I am thinking of getting mine at a website called rainbow mealworms and I just want your opinion! Second, what reptile thermostat do you use?
