Two years ago my parents gave me a leopard gecko as an impulse Christmas gift (I told them if my apartment allowed pets I'd get a beardie hypothetically) and your videos have helped so much. Now she's a spoiled city girl.
I just picked my first one up today, and I'm so nervous that I'm already messing things up 😅 and I've done so much research leading up to today, But I still feel like there's so much more that I need to learn
I can't wait until I can get a leopard gecko. I've been using your videos to help me make a care plan along with loads of other research so I can be the best possible gecko mum. You've helped me so much :) I love your videos!
Hi Rebecca, good video!. Nice clear advice. I keep my lights on during the "day" to give my Geckos a day/night cycle. They all have plenty of shady hides to sleep in. Lights go off at 9pm and out they all pop ready for their adventures out of the vivs and terrariums. I always know who is super ready for food as they will be up at pawing the glass BEFORE the lights go off. I have one who has cottoned on to the idea if she gets up before all the others she will get first dibs lol. Hope you are keeping safe and well.
Thank you SO MUCH for this - we are adopting a (allegedly) 20 year old Gecko and I want it to life it's best life. Since it is my first Reptile I am super anxious about doing it right. So this short video and the links are helping me loads. You have no idea how grateful I am!
Thank you so much for your videos! Our Leo, Phoebe, is growing well & thriving! We owe it to your videos! Your passion, expertise & willingness to help others is admirable! ❤️
I'm actually so glad you made that video 4yrs ago. It was a deciding factor in what kind of gecko to get. Seriously, it was *very* helpful. Side note, I recently started giving my garg Chuck Pangea Breeding & Growth powdered mix and he seems to love it! I love how you say vit-a-mins. Will you say aluminium in your next vid? 😛
Upgraded and bought the prot5 kits for my geckos and the supplements after watching this! I think the light I had before was a little too strong, thanks! :)
If you don’t need night heat then using a halogen or heat bulb vs dhp can help stimulate a sunrises and subset by having the heat bulb come on first and then the uv and jungle dawn. I am doing this in my crestie and corn snake enclosure and it’s working real well. I turn the uv and jd off half an hour or so before the heat.
Hey!! I just want to thank you for your info it has helped me sooo much and now my leo (gizmo) is now in a 40 gallon bioactive terrarium because of you. im now using arcadia supplements and a dhp and the t5 uv kit AND the jungle dawn plant led light. I love your vids!! Keep on going!!❤️
Thank you for this video! Ive been watching your channle for about a year and a half and i have been studying leopard gecko care for about a year. I finally got a little leo of my own a couple weeks ago and even now im still researching just so i make sure im caring for him to the best of my ability! Hes curently in a 30 gallon amd im going to be upgrading him soon to an even bigger terrarium and itll be bioactive. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the help and i hope you and your family are doing well!
I got a leopard gecko and ur videos just have been so helpful and they have got me so much info and I am new to this channel and I love how u give info and u say what to do and what not I love your channel so so much ❤
Thank u so much this was helpful! I just got a baby leopard gecko she is adorable! Her name is Winter! Just like yours! So thank you again your a life saver! Lottery for winter!😁
Thank you so much for all your work!! Your videos and advice are so informative and such a huge support. We've had our lil dude a week now and he's settling in so well. It's definitely 'love at first leopard gecko' for us! Thanks again, you're fab :)
My moms friend is giving me his leopard gecko and poor guy has bad MBD. He got it like that and besides a vet visit your videos have been so helpful so I can give this guy the best life
im rn watching this vid praying my baby gecko didn’t escape its tank, ik for a fact it cant get out but when i checked its cage....i couldn’t find it, so im praying that its jus hiding in there, ive checked my room 3 times but ziggy is no where 🥲 imma check again later...i hope he didn’t escape 😭 UPDATE: I FOUND THAT LIL SUCKERS, he was in my closet under my jacket 😭😭 from now on im keeping his lid on, almost gave me a heart attack 🦉
Great video, I'm doing my cresties bioactive tank right now and I found a site called Reptile basics for anyone interested that sells Arcadia products:) So I have the jungle dawn 22w. Thanks for the help.
I looooove your videos!! I am a rehome of a 3 year old Leo. And I'm a proud reptile parent now. (My first gecko but did lots of research before receiving the rescue leo.) She is super healthy and her name is Sally. I watch your videos allot and it helped me so much with taking care of Sally. She is in a small tank currently in what she came in (I rearranged her currant tank to be more naturalistic with appropriate UVB lamp.) I'm also building her a new enclosure which is going to be much bigger! (Again your videos helped and inspire me on how to take care of Sally. And also how your enclosures look too!!) Thank you so much for these videos!!! 🥰
I came into owning a Leo a few years after “growing my own” so became very familiar with mimicking the outside inside and the advanced technology in that industry would definitely benefit a similar hobby especially with bio active set up.
So glad I saw your videos and didn’t take the pet shops advice all though they had much better advice than other pet shops they still weren’t good enough to ensure a happy and long living gecko
Your videos are a life saver ❤ I am such i big fan I just recently had a problem with my leopard gecko Cielo and your videos helped so much thank you 💕
Ayyyyy tell Diego I said "sup my boy!?" Just got mine yesterday and I'm on the search for the supplements and pepper lighting. I'm so worried that it's not hydrating itself enough since I've yet to see it drink. But I'm keeping my hopes up for it and trusting it's intelligence and will to survive 🤌🏼 I'm sexing it in a few months as it's a youngin. Then I'll give it a name
Hey Leopard Gecko! I've been watching your channel on and off for years. I got my first leo, Phoenix, back in 2015. She's been doing pretty well aside from some housing issues from her source(as I was not aware of the disturbing liabilities of Petco). Regardless, I did most of my research through you. Through the years, my care has changed, but I've been a long time lurker in my times of change. Very recently, I was very interested in getting a second Leo. Their name is currently undecided(so if anyone has suggestions, I'm very open to them) and they appear to be a gorgeous little Raptor Albino. I'd just like to leave a quick thanks for getting me into the reptile hobby, and I plan on breeding in the next few years when my Raptor is up to size.
You absolutely should not be breeding geckos you don’t know the exact genetics of, and especially not a petco gecko. Otherwise the babies could end up deformed. There are lots of other reasons not to breed as well.
Hi I got my Leo for Christmas her name is Echo and your videos helped me set up her tank so much so thanks loads your videos are really helpful and informative👍👍👍👍
I’m so so sorry my bearded dragon passed sunday so ik how you feel. things will get better i promise just take your time and i’m so sorry for your loss.
It depends on a few factors (such as the distance of the basking spot from the bulb), but yes, 10% is usually too strong. For more information google ‘uvb lighting guide leopard gecko Reddit’ and check out the first thing that comes up.
Just want to add a suggestion. That you delete your old lighting videos. Just watched one yesterday that I just now realized was from 6 years ago. It inspired me to remove the light from my Leo's tank. Now I'm seeing this and I guess I'll put it back. Kind of confusing
I'm having some trouble finding the correct UVB light for my leopard gecko. If it helps I'm located in the United States, as it seems some products are international. She is in a 36x18x18, wondering how long the UVB light should be, what percentage of strength it should be and where it should be placed on the top of the terrarium. Can anyone help out with this? I'd greatly appreciate it!
@@nightinggale6470 indeed it is a mesh lid, exoterra tankm As it is a leopard gecko there is not a whole lot of basking done by them. But the closest she could get to the light at her highest point of the cage would be about 8 inches away from the bulb. It's only been a week since UVB installation and she is already more active with a more vivacious appetite. Definitely something to this UVB and leopard geckos. Wish it was studied more.
I literally watched your old video yesterday and thought whether this is still applicable. Thanks so much!!! I have one question left. If you put calcium in the terrarium, do you need to put calcium on their food? If so, what do you do with the vitamins?
Perfect timing :) So it always helps to add in a bit of calcium here and there. With a baby where you're feeding daily, I would stick to arcadia's supplementing schedule on their site. If I use calcium on one feed I wont use the vitamin powder :)
These vids r so informative. I’ve recently placed some rocks on the cool side of Keith’s vivarium and it’s made the temp drop by 4-5 degrees down to 19, is this ok? I should I remove them and replace with slate? If anyone can help this would be appreciated, thank you
I FINALLY GOT MY GECKO TO EAT after way longer than I'd like of barely to no eating from him since late December I got him to eat two dubia roaches I think he has some trama from crickets and wasn't eating Hopefully I'll be able to get a bunch of them in my next order of feeders I also gave my other leo one (he had his feeding earlier) and he definitely liked it to I know this isn't super on topic I'm just really happy I got him to eat something
If you are doing a tank review soon, do you think if i did an unlisted video of my tank, you could review it? I cant have any other social medias besides youtube D:... Also wonderful video!
Maybe this is a stupid question, but could you supplement the vitamins just by gut loading the feeder insects? For example, could the gecko get enough vitamin A if you feed the mealworms lots of carrots?
Yes, you still need to dust the insects. Dust with calcium every other feeding and vitamins every three feedings. Or Repashy Calcium Plus every feeding. The calcium dish isn’t necessary.
Do you have a video about the best substrates to use or which ones you recommend? And what are the best or some good decor/houses when you're a college kid on a budget. I have a 3 year old leopard gecko and I want to change her bedding to something more similar to desert but also something safe for her. I've tried to do research on substrate, but some sites say any is good as long as they are healthy, have a good diet, and have a heating mat. But then others say sand is never good because of impaction. So I am just curious what you or any recommends for an adult leo. I do have a heating mat and a uvb/uva light for her. I also want to add that I check the area where the mat is often to make sure it's still warm, but not hot to where I think she might burn.
Hi, I’m going to get a leopard gecko and I am saving up very new to reptiles do you know if I have to turn of the Arcadia deep heat projector at night or leave it on 24/7
I feel so bad now because I've been feeding my adult everyday with no vit/min supplements for nearly 3 years. Definitely going to limit her food intake and at least get some calcium powder.
@@junesantiago3418 Just crickets. Sometimes she'd have mealworms, but lately she's been refusing them. She seems healthy though, aside from looking a bit overweight, but I want to be absolutely sure she's feeling her best.
@@junesantiago3418 Actually I forgot I feed the crickets with Fluker's Calcium diet and more recently raw oats, so I think she may be getting enough after all
Hey so I know this isn’t the correct video to comment on this but like for the past couple months my crested gecko has been whistling is this a sign of like stress she’s like 5 years old I’m not sure wats going on can any of you guys help me out? :(

love your videos ❤ is 10.0uvb too much for a juvenile leo?!

Nice video
Jungle dawn light. How do you determine what length and wattage is needed? We have a 36Lx18Wx21Tall tank
I'm having some trouble finding the correct UVB light for my leopard gecko. If it helps I'm located in the United States, as it seems some products are international. She is in a 36x18x18, wondering how long the UVB light should be, what percentage of strength it should be and where it should be placed on the top of the terrarium. Can anyone help out with this? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Found my answer. Reptisun 5.0uvb 18 inches long, with a Reptisun T8 20-in hood. This UVB setup is the perfect dimensions for a 36x18x18
Assuming you have a mesh lid, with a T8 bulb, make sure the basking spot is 6” away.
@@nightinggale6470 indeed it is a mesh lid, exoterra tankm As it is a leopard gecko there is not a whole lot of basking done by them. But the closest she could get to the light at her highest point of the cage would be about 8 inches away from the bulb. It's only been a week since UVB installation and she is already more active with a more vivacious appetite. Definitely something to this UVB and leopard geckos. Wish it was studied more.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but could you supplement the vitamins just by gut loading the feeder insects? For example, could the gecko get enough vitamin A if you feed the mealworms lots of carrots?
Hello! Thank you for all this valuable information. Do you still use a heat lamp if you use the Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED Bar?
Yes, you still need a heat lamp (ideally a halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat). LED is for visible light and live plants.
Your geckos are so cute!!!!!!!
I have a question, if I leave a dish with Calcium (no D3) in a Leopard Gecko tank, do I still have to dust the insects?
Yes, you still need to dust the insects. Dust with calcium every other feeding and vitamins every three feedings. Or Repashy Calcium Plus every feeding. The calcium dish isn’t necessary.
You are the best
Do you have a video about the best substrates to use or which ones you recommend? And what are the best or some good decor/houses when you're a college kid on a budget.

Definitely don’t use sand, but other than that she had a video all about the best substrates to use. Hope this helps!
Hi yes i watch your videos alot and i have an emergency my leo got stuck in one of my walls while i let her walk on the floor
So she doesn’t use like a purple or red light for a couple hours at night? Cause I do that and I feel like my gecko loves it
Do you use the DHP 24/7 with a dimming thermostat or turn it off at night to allow the hot side to gradually decrease?
Hi, I’m going to get a leopard gecko and I am saving up very new to reptiles do you know if I have to turn of the Arcadia deep heat projector at night or leave it on 24/7

Oh my, good thing your gecko didnt get mbd, yees start giving her calcium powder :D
@@junesantiago3418 Definitely will, thanks!
@@junesantiago3418 Actually I forgot I feed the crickets with Fluker's Calcium diet and more recently raw oats, so I think she may be getting enough after all
