    Thank you.
    As someone who also can feel anxious, I personally would worry about my gecko laying out of sight on the heat mat all the time.
    I know they are nocturnal, but its just more natural seeing them out absorbing/thermor regulating.
    Don't own a leopard gecko yet, but plan to follow your example.
    Thanks again.

I bought the tank for my the leopard gecko i’m going to get, yesterday and am slowly going to be buying everything for the setup over the spread of about a month and a half so that it spreads out the expenses.

Rebecca on this channel has also done several starter kit reviews too. Our complete kits are built up to a standard, not down to a price point and include everything your new pet actually needs, throughout their life, including a suitably sized enclosure, proper UVB lighting, heating, décor, substrates and more.

I even got lucky enough to Catch Rainbow just as she started shedding and managed to get three large pieces, her tail, back and front. All three have their own tanks.

      @fionashepley478 4 года назад

      That’d be far more suited for a crested gecko. A leopard gecko requires an enclosure that’s 60x45x30cm, or 75x30x30cm. And that’s bare minimum for an adult. Bigger is much better

    I want to ask you about the supplements i use for regular feeding Arcadia calcium pro Mg and in his tank and until now i used the zoomed multivitamin with D3 for every two feedings. I want to try something new i had in mind the repashy calcium plus and the exo terra you have in the video. What is your suggestion among those three or something else?

      Repashy Calcium Plus is an awesome all in one. It’d be best not to leave any calcium in the enclosure.

      Usually I will wait til the end of the day, if it's still light but the geckos are awake, or I'll use my lighting equipment at night, so it's a bit better lit lol

    I have a question my gecko, Omega is having trouble taking off his shedded skin at the toes. I do what you do in your tutorial but Omega does not seem to lose the skin. Could you please message me what I should do.

    Hey, so I'm thinking of getting a leopard gecko soon. I've taken care of them in the past so I know all the essentials and what not. However, I cannot get a clear answer online regarding what is the best substrate. I'm not gonna use paper towels because it looks awful but sand (even play sand) makes me worried about impaction. Is coconut fibre or eco earth okay? Should I use a feeding dish with walls tall enough that the feeders can't get out so there is no chance of impaction? Any advice is appreciated

    • @fionashepley478
      @fionashepley478 4 года назад

      Reptisoil, organic top soil (without fertilizer or perlite, Scott’s is a good brand), or a bioactive mix is best over six months. Half textured tile half soil is good as well. They should be offered digging enrichment. They will not get impacted as long as they’ve got the correct temps. It’s safe to feed them on the substrate and enriching to let them hunt.

    I am looking to get a leopard gecko for my son. I really like the way gizmo looks. Is there a specific name for that type of leopard gecko?

    I’m wondering what i should be feeding my leopard gecko during the lockdown as he doesn’t eat dead crickets and right now he is eating mealworms but i can’t go to the shop to get more, what should i do??

    Hi, I just got a baby leopard gecko! He has UVB lighting that is on a timer like yours, so my question is what do we dust his food in? Ive read a lot about using uvb lighting and dusting insects, but I have never heard anyone say what they use to dust them. He has calcium in his tank, and we gut load our feeder insects with carrots. He eats every day since he is still a baby

    • @fionashepley478
      @fionashepley478 4 года назад +1

      Dust with calcium every other feeding and vitamins every three feedings. You need supplements without d3 when using UVB. It’d be best not to leave calcium in the enclosure. Make sure you’re using a linear/tube UVB bulb, not compact

    I am going to get earth mix arid or terra Sahara from the biodude I was wondering if you can use these bio active substrates in a non bio active tank without a clean up crew btw I will not be using real plants if I do get these either substrate

    • @fionashepley478
      @fionashepley478 4 года назад +1

      Yes, you can use them without going bioactive. Although I recommend reptisoil or organic top soil (without fertilizer or perlite, Scott’s is a good brand). They work just as well and top soil is loads cheaper.

    hi! i don't know if you're going to see this but im getting a leopard gecko in a couple months and ive done all the research (your chanel has help SO much thank you) but theres one thing still troubling me. Im coming here in hope of you seeing this comment because in one of your older videos you say that at night the temperature of the heat mat should drop a bit but i dont know by how much. So at night do i have to make the heat mat a little cooler or could i just leave it the way it was during the day? if anyone is able to answer my question it would help a lot since i want my gecko to have the best home. Thank you!

    I’m thinking about getting a leopard gecko this week, I have the terrarium and tomorrow I’m getting all the decorations, I was wondering if I should keep the leopard gecko somewhere other than my room so that I don’t disturb it during the day when I talk maybe on Xbox or on FaceTime? Also any tips would be great because this will be my first gecko

    Heyy I'm going to get a Leopard gecko (I watched all your videos and am really informed), but I'm 14. When I"ll move out, I will give them to my siblings (only if I won't be able to take them with me). But after I saw your video " why you shouldn't get a leopard gecko, I'm kinda insecure... Do you think, I should get one?
