Imo, 20 gallons is waaaaay too small for cohabitation. They need lots of space and theyre going to end up competing for heat and areas in the enclosire. 20 gallons is the bare minimum for ONE gecko, so deffo shouldve kept them in a 40 gallon long
Agreed, especially when there’s two in the factor and I already don’t approve of cohabiting them and I’d especially never dare do it in a 20 gallon that’s just asking for territorial behavior, I’ve seen them thrive in 80 gallon setups just for one gecko I definitely agree with your statement!
Okay so. Just some tips from a leopardgecko owner. 1. The minimum size for leopardgeckos is 40 gallons I belive so your tank is way too small especially for two. 2. they Need at least two hides per gecko so in your case you would need four. Two on the warm side and two on the cold side. 3. They do the best on a 50/50 soil/sand mix so they can actually dig etc. 4. normally you shouldn’t cohabitate leopardgeckos since they’re actually solitary animals but since they’ve been together for such a long time I think it’s okay. All in all the cage is maybe a 3/10. I can tell that you love your animals so I’m begging you to do more research and give them the best homes possible.
Thank you 💔 and he’s had them 10 years. U see the tail.. that’s like a human losing hair.. stressssss much? Ugh it’s too many videos online and other resources for this to be promoted so casually. Paid promo?? I don’t understand.. why.
I don’t recommend sand or loose substrate because of compaction (when they ingest it and it gets stuck) and just a digging hide like a cut out hole you can put a ramp to in a plastic Tupperware if they don’t have problems with compaction but I recommend carpet or tile I only recommend carpet because if you can’t afford tile you can get carpet and it works almost as good Edit: I have a gecko in a 50 gallon one hide on each side with carpet a heat pad and a strong ubv heat lamp not like a normal heat light it is a ubv that also provides heat for your reptile and a few decorations she climbs on and scratches on
@@ridageckoguy3094 loose substrate is completely fine if you use the right one. Bioactive enclosures are the best option for any type of reptile. Carpet is one of the worst options since their nails can get stuck in it and fingers can get ripped of bc of it.
@@ridageckoguy3094 kittyspets is right about the substrate. A suitable loose substrate (ie a soil/sand mix) is much better for them than carpet. Also, it sounds like you’re using a mercury vapour bulb. Those aren’t good because a) they can’t be dimmed, meaning you can’t regulate the temperature and b) they’re an insufficient source of UVB. It’s best to have a heat lamp and a separate tube UVB bulb.
Here are some tips: I think that the older one was better since it was bigger for 2 geckos. I would get them some eco earth or something they can dig in, in their moist hide so they can also lay and burrow their eggs. I woulduv added more hides and maybe fake plants and stuff. Seems to small for them already, I woulduv gotten a 40 gal least for them - Oh yeah and also.. for someone whos had them for 10 years should know that that gecko dropped it's tail sometime when it was little , thats what it looks like with a regrown tail
You did NOT just say that 40 gallons is too big for 2 leopard geckos so you downgraded it to 20 gallons! 20 gallons is the minimum for 1 adult. You did not do your research
@@PaPaMurph because an overstocked tank gets views. Which is cooler to watch, a single arowana in a 300 gallon tank or 2 arowana, 5 Oscars, 4 peacock bass, 3 retail catfish, 6 bichirs, and an iridescent shark in a 250 gallon tank? He doesn't care about his animals, he only wants the views
@@nicholasmacdonald4510 i fking agree, and im a beginner with terrariums and gecko's in general. what am i saying, i just bought an terrarium today, i dont even have anything else for it yet lol. not even an gecko! and even i know the 20 gallons is a BARE minimum for 1 gecko... come on people dont do this to living creatures. ask youself if you like to be locked up in a wayyy to small room/area the rest of your shitty life. i would drop my tail too, along with my brain, so i get braindead and wont even care anymore. like the owner of this video. EDIT: Take your time to research EVERY LITTLE THING on this animal- IF and BEFORE you plan to actually get an gecko yourself!
I hate to seem harsh, however as an experienced leopard gecko owner I believe you need to do research on the needs of a leopard gecko. Maybe watch Jessica and friends. They should not live together, 20 gallon tanks are actually the old minimum 40 gallon per gecko. They need 3 hides, a heat light is better than a heat matt. If you honestly care for them you need to upgrade them and separate. Her tail is also more than likely a regrown tail. Meaning she was stressed and dropped her tail. The carpet can harbor bacteria and the reality is...they need to be separated, even being together 10 years in a w0 gallon they're more likely to kill each other.
‼️BEFORE YOU BREED‼️ please do more research on these guys as you have said a lottt of things that are wrong and can definitely learn more!! There’s Endlesss amounts of things to learn about these dope little dudes! Did you know there’s a miniature version👀
That gecko was not born with that weird tail, she dropped it, and now it’s no longer perfect, how are u still not doing research for pets you’ve had over 10 years🤦🏽♂️
Actually some are born like that 😂 ole Johnny boy thinks he knows it all.. I’m sure he has more knowledge for taking care of animals than you. Just a fyi
That tank is going to fall off the stand. Also, you need to sand the sharp edges off of the hides, not just remove the tag and stick it in. Oh my. They do need heat at 85-90 degrees. They each need their own enclosures with 3 hides one being a humid hide. Watch some husbandry videos on leopard geckos.
Yeah maybe you could do a different vid of remolding their 40 Gallon and put something else in the 20 gallon Edit: I did some research and 20 gallons is the minimum of what you need, plus they seemed perfectly happy in the 40g. Please times a trillion put them back into the 40g.
My one leopard gecko has a 40 gallon and he loves it. That’s minimum size for two. Also the carpet is mediocre for the bottom. Especially if they just came from having dirt. Mix organic soil and sand. Add real rocks, I also have a heat lamp, mat and UVB. Sphagnum moss works much better for a moist hide.
The carpet is actually really bad for them. It’s holds in too much bacteria. All in all carpet just isn’t the best option. You could do non adhesive shelf liner or tile
A suitable loose substrate such as a soil/playsand or soil/sand/clay mix is best, digging enrichment is very beneficial for them. You’re right about the carpet though.
I had three females living together. It just didn’t work. Already separated one, and now I’m about to separate the other two. I don’t recommend cohabitation.
Lol its not an upgrade especially since there are 2. Id never downgrade set up to somthing smaller . I think you messed up with this one. The tank is very bare I give it a 1
This is so funny to watch😂. I don’t even own a leopard gecko and I even know more than this guy. I know dang well that you can’t put 2 Leos in a freaking 20 gallon. This man literally said that “ A 40 gallon is too big for 2 Leo’s and it’s time for an upgrade.” It’s just stupid to watch. I’m also getting a Leo next month so wish me good luck👍👍👍
‼BEFORE YOU BREED‼ please do more research on these guys as you have said a lottt of things that are wrong and can definitely learn more!! There’s Endlesss amounts of things to learn about these dope little dudes
A downgrade in size of tank is not an upgrade. Anyone considering getting a leopard gecko or two please do your research look at breeder websites instead of all Just RUclips videos. Bigger is always better unless you have a special needs animal!
a 20 thats like minamum for 1 plus i would recomend not having two in the same tank bc in that case if you have more than 1 you gonna need like a 40 gallon
I kinda wish you would have done a price on everything like Paul does and told us more about them. Like why they don't need a larger habitat. Why you prefer the carpet bedding besides it looks nice... Things like this. I could google but it's nice to watch a youtuber who has had them for 10 years.
Carpet is not a suitable substrate. It harbours bacteria, tends to get caught on teeth and claws, and doesn’t offer any digging enrichment whatsoever. A suitable loose substrate such as a soil/playsand mix is best. And they absolutely do need a larger habitat. A 20 gallon long is the bare minimum for ONE leopard gecko, 40 gallons or bigger is strongly recommended. Cohabitation can be very risky. I have seen countless cases of geckos seeming fine for years, then snapping and seriously injuring or killing each other. It can be done successfully in a very large enclosure, but definitely not one this small.
I know he did not just say “40 gallons is way too big for them so we’re downgrading them to a 20 gallon.” Boy give me those geckos I have a few empty 40’s to spare. 😂
Why would you downgrade them to a 20 gallon, you can barely keep one in a 20 and definitely not 2. 50 gallons is by no means too big for a leopard gecko. That’s just misinformation. Love the vids but do ur research man
I could say this about a lot of RUclipsrs lol it’s kinda embarrassing. I expect false dumb stuff on TikTok from teenagers but this man should know better
Love the vid but, for 2 leo's you need a 40 gallon as it is the perfect amount of space for them i would recommend 3 hides each but five in your case because they can share a humid hide because they will most likely not be shedding at the same time. so 3 hides each because you need one hot one cool and one humid with moss in there Not paper towels and the best substrate for them is terra sahara as it is meant for leo's
A 40 gallon is the recommended size for one leopard gecko, it is not big enough to safely cohab two. A soil/playsand mix would also be cheaper than terra Sahara.
Just a tiny heating pad isn’t enough but sure just keep being a bad example. Not to forget, you better have a temperature controller for the heating pad
As a friendly reminder do more research. "Plenty big" it is not a good way to tell people after you just said they were in a bigger tank. 20 gallon for two is a terrible life to life in. They might get territorial a bit even if they are female because you took away the space and hides needed. Even 20 for one isn't good. Not trying to be mean just trying to say do more research. :)
Do your research I cannot believe you just said that a 40 gallon tank is too big for a leopard gecko 20 is the size for one male adult I am on leopard geckos in a 51 gallon tank call that big
You should keep the old 50 gallon tank for these two. As everyone already says in the comments, this tank is way too small for 1 gecko, and you will have two in there. Switch back to the old tank. They will not be happier in this tank. It can never be too big for an adult leopard gecko. Please do more research before breeding your geckos.. The male should only be in the tank as long as mating is going on. When they are done, the male should be moved from the tank so that he does not stress the female.
If you're going to cohab leopard gecko's then they need a minimum of 120 gallons per gecko. You did not do your research. this kit is horrible and you're going to end up with serious problems later on with your geckos. this is so sad to see. Poor babys 😔
ok so do you have a probe for the heat mat and do you have a digital thermometer with a probe cause i dont wanna spend extra money on the one im getting
Heat mats are not a good heat source, overhead heating is much better for them. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin. As well as the dimmer/thermostat (for regulating the temperature), you need a temperature gun for measuring surface temps and ideally a digital thermometer/hygrometer combo for measuring ambient temps and humidity.
I get why he down graded cus the 40 gallon was old and they get along very well and they sleep together so really no point of the space in the 40 gallon
Did the albino drop its tail? (Also I recommend for at least 1 leopard gecko you need 20 gallon (at least) and let them hide more and add a loose substrate
A-2 geckos should NOT be housed together. B-Instead of downgrading them to 1, 20 gallon tank you should have put them each in their OWN 20 gallon tank. C-they can get their nails caught in those mats and put them out and bleed real bad. D-those mats cannot be cleaned so there poop (and bacteria) is just going to pile up until you buy a new one. Or get a proper substrate. E-after 10 years you figure you would know all of this.
‼️TIPS‼️ If you could I would add just one more hide 🙈 for those cute little leos. Another thing to us that cactus 🌵 is FILTHY. Definitely want to clean that and otherwise the tank looks awesome bro 🦎‼️
I don’t quite understand why you downgraded it to a 20 gallon, 20 gallon is bear minimum for one adult, then when you cohabit them they need even more space, that 40-50 ish gallon tank was perfect for them, if anything I would’ve re styled the tank if the old look got too old on me, leopard geckos walk around a lot especially at night, so especially when you downgrade them from that there not gonna understand why they can’t walk further because they was already used to the bigger tank anyways. I have a leopard gecko of my own when I first bought him he was in a 10 gallon but that didn’t last too long because a week later I got a 40 gallon set up for him, I almost got a 20 gallon long but I decided seems how much he likes to move around I just went with the 40 gallon instead, haven’t seen him tank serf sense I got him the new 40 gallon, I’d honestly be surprised if yours didn’t tank serf in the new tank considering they was used to the bigger tank for so long and because there’s two of them, I already don’t recommend cohabiting them, but especially in a 20 gallon I’d never dare cohabit two because there already probably somewhat territorial then in a smaller space makes them even more territorial over one another so at that point you’re possibly risking issues with one gecko getting all the food nutrients and the other being malnourished because the one dominated over the other I’ve personally witnessed this happening and it’s not a pretty thing to see. So personally I wouldn’t have done it this way, and if you ask anyone else who has enough experience they probably wouldn’t approve of it either.
I'm sure it's quick and easy to brush off comments you get on your videos daily as just hate... But it seems like almost all of your videos I've watched... The comment section is actually people who just want to see you do the best you can for your animals. ESPECIALLY if you have a younger following. 20 gallons for 2 geckos is like PetSmart selling fish bowls and marketing them as a life long home for a fish... Before you put yourself out here on the internet, do some damn research. It's not hard and believe it or not it would be to not only your benefit (because that's what you seem to put first) but also your animals. It's not hate dude. It's facts. Facts that you should know if you're putting info out here like this.

You are so right. I hate this guy so bad. How can someone do so many things wrong at once?
a geckos tank can never be TOO BIG lmfao. the more room the better smh.

Please do more research before breeding your geckos.. The male should only be in the tank as long as mating is going on. When they are done, the male should be moved from the tank so that he does not stress the female.
sad.. do some research.
If you're going to cohab leopard gecko's then they need a minimum of 120 gallons per gecko. You did not do your research. this kit is horrible and you're going to end up with serious problems later on with your geckos. this is so sad to see. Poor babys 😔
10000000000000000000 out of ten
Your gecko wasn’t born with that tail she must have lost it to me shaped like that
ok so do you have a probe for the heat mat and do you have a digital thermometer with a probe cause i dont wanna spend extra money on the one im getting
Heat mats are not a good heat source, overhead heating is much better for them. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin.
As well as the dimmer/thermostat (for regulating the temperature), you need a temperature gun for measuring surface temps and ideally a digital thermometer/hygrometer combo for measuring ambient temps and humidity.
@@nightinggale6470 ok thank you and do you know where to get a temp gun or thermostat or dimmer
@@oogalb1 all of them can be bought online, from Amazon or other sites.
I get why he down graded cus the 40 gallon was old and they get along very well and they sleep together so really no point of the space in the 40 gallon
this Terrarium is shit. in every. search in Google for Leopardgecko Terrarium.
you will see that this is nothing
My leopard geckos are 17 years old.had then since they were a baby
20 gallon is the minimum for 1 so you need a 40 gallon ready do your research
40 gallons is not big enough to safely cohab two.
I’d say like a 70 for two
Most excited thing I’m hyped for is the new 5,600 gallon salt water pond
I have great ideas for that! Wanna plan it with me in the comments and submit our ideas to Nick?
@@theallusechannel i mean sure
@@goblinslayer1115 I'm making a list already on the 6000 gallon saltwater pond video, check it out
Just posted the comment
@@theallusechannel where is it?
I love your videos so much
Did the albino drop its tail? (Also I recommend for at least 1 leopard gecko you need 20 gallon (at least) and let them hide more and add a loose substrate
Looks good to me Nick.
Amazing
Woo-hoo oh yeah 😍
One leopard gecko needs 40 and you just put 2 in a 20 gallon .also reptile carpet is ass
23 comment Nick bingo is the best and the greatest RUclipsr ever I always enjoy your amazing videos bro keep it up 💯💪👍👍👍💪💯💯💪👍👍
BRO GET A ECLIPSE SNOW the busy would be dope
A-2 geckos should NOT be housed together.
B-Instead of downgrading them to 1, 20 gallon tank you should have put them each in their OWN 20 gallon tank.
C-they can get their nails caught in those mats and put them out and bleed real bad.
D-those mats cannot be cleaned so there poop (and bacteria) is just going to pile up until you buy a new one. Or get a proper substrate.
E-after 10 years you figure you would know all of this.
Yes new geko
The new enclosure is fantastic! 🙂
U make amazing videos bro 💕❤️
‼️TIPS‼️
If you could I would add just one more hide 🙈 for those cute little leos. Another thing to us that cactus 🌵 is FILTHY. Definitely want to clean that and otherwise the tank looks awesome bro 🦎‼️
I’m thinking, got bored alone man!
Can't believe in the time I've subscribed I've watched you grow a beard lol
Nick you’re my favorite ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Nice video 👍
Do you change that bottom mat weekly to clean pee and poop? Thanks.
What ever happened to the mini fish pond
Which one? He usually replaces the one he had after all the fish died again
Needs some more features. Maybe some vegetation?
Love you videos en speciali the fish
I juat wanna ask, where do u get the cage cause it looks pretty nice with the sliding door in front
The cage is likely bought straight from PetSmart. I wouldn’t recommend supporting them though.
I don’t quite understand why you downgraded it to a 20 gallon, 20 gallon is bear minimum for one adult, then when you cohabit them they need even more space, that 40-50 ish gallon tank was perfect for them, if anything I would’ve re styled the tank if the old look got too old on me, leopard geckos walk around a lot especially at night, so especially when you downgrade them from that there not gonna understand why they can’t walk further because they was already used to the bigger tank anyways. I have a leopard gecko of my own when I first bought him he was in a 10 gallon but that didn’t last too long because a week later I got a 40 gallon set up for him, I almost got a 20 gallon long but I decided seems how much he likes to move around I just went with the 40 gallon instead, haven’t seen him tank serf sense I got him the new 40 gallon, I’d honestly be surprised if yours didn’t tank serf in the new tank considering they was used to the bigger tank for so long and because there’s two of them, I already don’t recommend cohabiting them, but especially in a 20 gallon I’d never dare cohabit two because there already probably somewhat territorial then in a smaller space makes them even more territorial over one another so at that point you’re possibly risking issues with one gecko getting all the food nutrients and the other being malnourished because the one dominated over the other I’ve personally witnessed this happening and it’s not a pretty thing to see. So personally I wouldn’t have done it this way, and if you ask anyone else who has enough experience they probably wouldn’t approve of it either.
Hi nick can you soon post a new vid on the 6000G saltwater pond and this vidio is amazing
Coming very soon!!
@Nick Bingo ok thank you and will it be transferring the fish because I saw some of the fish on the Instagram story
We're did You Buy it
They look happy and healthy 😊
You can’t be serious
Yes to baby Leopard gecko
I'm sure it's quick and easy to brush off comments you get on your videos daily as just hate... But it seems like almost all of your videos I've watched... The comment section is actually people who just want to see you do the best you can for your animals. ESPECIALLY if you have a younger following. 20 gallons for 2 geckos is like PetSmart selling fish bowls and marketing them as a life long home for a fish... Before you put yourself out here on the internet, do some damn research. It's not hard and believe it or not it would be to not only your benefit (because that's what you seem to put first) but also your animals. It's not hate dude. It's facts. Facts that you should know if you're putting info out here like this.
