The amount of time, energy, and love that you give to your animals is extremely commendable. thank you for teaching me so much about them. I strive to get to that level of enclosure for my gecko bookshelf :)
Hello, this is 2021: it is slightly better ;) Keep your hopes up :D PS: I discovered you through the Enclosure Build Off and gave you a tip on how to do backgrounds earlier. I really like that you give your geckos so much space and modify them according to their individual needs. I especially like that you don't keep them communal! This is exactly the trend I would like to see from English speaking pettube. More space, more natural setups, every need met! I really like it!
Thank you so much!! And wait til you see their next upgrades coming later this year! The special needs geckos will stay in their current enclosures BUT everyone else is getting upgraded AGAIN! I’m talking backgrounds UVB bioactive soil DHP for heat. Very excited. Going to be a lot of work but I’m stoked.
They’re completely adorable!! As a dragon rescuer, I really appreciate how you go the extra mile for the care and comfort you give each of these precious little souls. ❤️🦎❤️
i love how so many got the 36x18x12! my leopard gecko got a 36x18x18 upgrade from a 20g and the change has been so positive. I am planning some changes to his enclosure's decoration so i got some ideas from this video.
@@JessicasAnimalFriends finding the space to upgrade is so hard. my pacman frog is a very very active boy and i want to give him a 36x18x18 but for now i'm upgrading him to a 24x18x18
These enclosures are so impressively decorated !! I can see why it was so expensive, but they look great and I'm sure your geckos love it, they're so lucky :))
“Let me know if you’re in the future. Is 2021 any better?” I checked the comment section expecting to find people from 2021. My disappointment is immeasurable.
Hello Jessica 🤗💖, sweetie I'm so sorry that your little one moved to Heaven. I know how much it hurts. Remember the part of your heart that is missing and hurting is that part she took with her. That way she isn't missing you. She will give it back when you join her there. Then the eternity of joy begins. What gorgeous enclosures. I've been looking to get some for my little ones. Your babies sure look happy. I think a few were begging for another worm.🤔😉😋😄. Mine just gobble those things down too. Then there's Sandy, my bearded dragon 🙄😋🥰. What a piggy for horn worms. Reminds me, I need to order more.😉. This was a fun video to watch. Looking forward to the expanded version of the new enclosures. You are the best Mommy ever. You definitely have a gift of taking care of these guys and other animals. I hope your White's Tree frogs are doing better. Has Miss Neville gone for her " winter vacation" yet? I'm sure your missing her if she has. You take care and enjoy your new enclosures. May Jesus bless you and yours, Lin ✝️🐕🐕🐕🐕🐢🐦🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎💖🦒🐧🐲🤗
Neville hasn’t started brumating yet but it’s only a matter of time! My whites tree frog coco is still having his issues but the others are completely fine. Still trying to sort it out. Thanks as always for your lovely comment :)
I love seeing all of them because you just realize how an amazing animal they are and how gorgeous and sweet and just have different personalities are I just love that
I love the new enclosures and decor. I can't imagine the final bill!! I see you've decided to put water dishes back into the enclosures, I might have missed when that happened and I'm really interested to hear your new disposition on adding substrate to some of the gecko's enclosures. I myself followed your kitchen liner bottom for fear of impaction. My two geckos are about 9 months old now and you've helped me exponentially in my journey of caring for them. Thank you!
Oh I just wanted to make sure that they had a source of water because their humid hides are substrate now, so they don’t have paper towel to lap off of. Hope that makes sense!
Wow! All of your enclosures are so well decorated! Im super impressed! I was just looking for ideas for a 36x18 for my gecko soon too. Thanks for listening to the needs of each of your geckos. Ive seen people just assume disabled/special needs geckos dont need special care?? and give them normal gecko set ups?? Im glad you take such good care of all of your pets. Im sad to see how bad Melisandre's syndrome has gotten. I didnt know it could get that severe from ovulation. I felt awful watching her clip. I cant believe people can still try to justify breeding of enigma/w&y morphs. Its so dishearting. But im glad to see the other geckos are doing well and enjoying their new enclosures! :)
Wow! These cages are beautiful! I had to subscribe to see the full length video later! I've never seen someone use kitchen cabinet liner before but I can see how it would be a great alternative to the other non-loose substrates like paper towels. To clean it do you just wipe it down regularly or replace it? Loved the video! ☺🦎 (Also I love the GOT names 😉)
Aww thanks so much!! Yes i just wipe it down to clean it, but this liner is all new for the new enclosures. I think it looks better than paper towel personally, and that’s why I use it :)
Do u have a video on the substrates that you have had success with that aren't loose? I'm using reptile carpet, but want to chang to something else, but I'm not sure if I wanna do loose yet
Hi! Pretty enclosures! My Leo has a severe underbite so I was wondering what flooring stuff u use for them! Like in benjins cage! It would help me so much if you could respond!
@@JessicasAnimalFriends I've been keeping and breeding reptiles and amphibians for 35 years now and they are still a lot cheaper and easier to care for than cats and dogs. For the most part I've stopped breeding reptiles. Ironically leopard geckos and box turtles are the only 2 species I still breed. I have 7 snakes. I only bought my rosy boas. My California kingsnakes, garter snakes and western hognose are rescues who will stay with me until they die. I breed my own dubia cockroaches, red runner cockroaches and mice.
HEYY! My Juvenile leopard gecko (that’s I got yesterday) has been sleeping for over 13 ish hours, and its almost 9pm and I put his worms and fresh water in this terrarium, but he just went back to sleep, is there something I should do?
I just stumbled upon your videos today. I’m think of getting a leopard gecko, so I’m trying to do some research. You might have already addressed this in your other videos, but were your geckos born w these neurological problems or did something happen to them? I love your videos!
I love your facilities, two questions, the first top is called that worm? and the second that you put on the ground that is not earth? does it look like a sponge tablecloth ??
Hi Recently I have started to see a decrease in how much my gecko eats, usually she will eat 4 worms every other day but now she only eats 1-2. I was wondering what can I do to get her to eat again . She has waxworms, calciworms, mealworms, Dubai’s, and crickets but still won’t eat. What should I try. She is 43 grams and turning one in a few days
Can you do a vidio of all the time diets and treats and things like that because I am getting 2 leopard geckos and I would like to see this vidio EDIT: will you also talk about the horn on the horn worm and why it cannot hurt them
Ok so I have a question, so I have a female leopard gecko who is a year and a couple months old, and I was just curious as to how I can fatten up her tail like your geckos have. Her tail is fat but I feel it needs to be a bit fatter, obviously all geckos are different and the weight and fatness of the tail can vary, but any advice on to how I can fatten it up would be great!
Only being a year old, she’s definitely still working on putting that weight in the back! As long as you’re feeding a couple times a week with a varied diet, her tail will fill out in time
im from da future, it still sucks lol, but for me its gonna get better cuz im getting a Leo in August so ive been researching for that! i hope your 2021 is good!
My gecko refuses to chase crickets any more. We feed him Mealworms. Do you have any suggestions for more healthy food? I get the horned worms every now and then but getting them for 1 gecko is hard.
This is amazing you have so much information to share! I just adoped two lepoard geckos from my younger sisters friend she hatched them from hatchlings i have had two lepoard geckos in the past but the female that i adopted has A pretty injured front left arm If you have any videos of yours you would suggest to suggest ideas for care I would 100% appreciate it
I really like the enclosures i think i might switch over to these from my exo terra's which are so heavy and im terrified of them cracking one day, plus the pvc stack nicely so no need for a rack. I'll be sure to let them know that you recommended them.
I definitely prefer them to Exo Terra BUT the one good redeeming quality Exo terras have is they can hold water. So my paludarium has to stay an Exo Terra, but the others are going to be replaced with these enclosures next year or so!
I got my leopard gecko in july and s/he was supposedly a leo. but she stopped eating everyday now and im not rushing feeding, it takes me between 30 ish minutes to usually feed her :)
I am not a breeder, and I am using a substrate mix of washed, sifted play sand and sifted terra sahara from the bio dude. I recommend sanitized and sifted top soil over the terra sahara but I couldn't get my hands on enough of it.
Hi, nice video, I'm new to your channel and was wondering why some of the geckos are more active than before (as you said), is it because the enclosures are bigger, or the substrate, or something else?
I run a sanctuary for rescued adopted and special needs reptiles and amphibians, and some of my leopard geckos have neurological disorders, birth defects, or other life-long issues that prevent them from being able to thrive in a larger enclosure, but nearly all of the geckos are in larger than the 20 gallons recommended as the minimum with the exception of 7: one stunted growth gecko with a neurological disorder, one stunted growth gecko with blindness, and the rest are geckos with enigma syndrome, a neurological disorder.
@@JessicasAnimalFriends Thanks a lot for the detailed answer, now I understand better. What you're doing is very nice, it's pretty clear that you genuinely care for them :)
Can you do a video telling us about the different Neurological Syndromes and Deformity common in Leopard Geckos and Geckos in General so we can learn more about how the syndromes affect the Geckos and other Things I think that will be extremely beneficial to different viewers sense you have hands on experience with these issues also these enclosures look amazing.
It’s like you read my mind! I have a video about neurological disorders and neurological damage scripted, will be coming beginning of 2021! And I have a video already filmed about the different defects and injuries a gecko can have coming in a week or two!
@@JessicasAnimalFriends that's so cool and it'll be extremely informative I can't wait looks like we think alike I love how passionate you are about all your babies and animals in general and how passionate you are about helping to spread awareness and useful information to better help animals and future owners and other animals lovers to be able to do the best they can and I feel like people shouldn't have pets unless they do the proper research before getting an animal we can always learn to improve how we care for animals but seriously don't get an animal if you don't know how to take care of it and don't trust everything you hear from a petstore employee . Not all petstore employees know what is best for the animals . Your such an amazing person taking in all these special needs babies one day I want to open up a Exotic animal sanctuary and rescue especially for Reptiles and Animals I've done tons of reasearch on and have experience with. I feel like we need more exotic animal rescues and sanctuaries too.
There is definitely a difference in the symptoms enigma geckos exhibit when they’re unhealthy vs when they’re healthy, but the syndrome never goes awat
Can I just say, respect. It must take so so much work to care for so many geckos as well as beardies and other reptiles.
The amount of time, energy, and love that you give to your animals is extremely commendable. thank you for teaching me so much about them. I strive to get to that level of enclosure for my gecko bookshelf :)
She is the ultimate leopard gecko godess
@Milo the Gecko you ain’t a woman
I cannot wait to rewatch all these videos as a playlist of your recent upgrade videos! ❤️❤️❤️ this is so great!! So happy for you all.
I love your gecko’s set up! When my Leo gets bigger I’ll definitely get a new enclosure. Your enclosures have given me ideas!
Im blown away how you have got this set up and how you have everything fitted to each individual gecko so well im super impressed
Glad to see they're doing well in the new enclosures, they're huge!
i love how much you genuinely care for each individual gecko 🥺 we need more people like you
Love your videos 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🦎

@@JessicasAnimalFriends finding the space to upgrade is so hard. my pacman frog is a very very active boy and i want to give him a 36x18x18 but for now i'm upgrading him to a 24x18x18
In my counrty the minimum size for leopard geckos is at least 72 x 72 x 24 Anything below that is punished with fines and even imprisonment
AWESOME ROOM! :D
Aria’s face is absolutely adorable, she looks like she’s got a smile. :) all your other geckos are absolutely beautiful too, of course.
I think Arya’s face looks like this emoji 😈 hahahaha
@@JessicasAnimalFriends my gecko has such an angry face, so he always looks like he’s mad for waiting too long on worms/crickets. 😂

What substrate do you use for the arid setups?
I will be going over that in a video!

I’ll talk about that in a video all about decor!
I’m in the future, and things are the same, but getting better slowly.😬😬😬
every gecko looks like a child waiting for those gummy bears hehe

Where can I buy it
awww, leopard geckos are so adorable
wish we had them here in Australia, and crested geckos too Y__Y

I don’t recommend carpet but yes you can do a half and half of soil & a non loose substrate like tile
Thank you
how do they get their heat lamp and UVB lamp?
Please watch the video I posted the other day about how I heat the enclosures!

There is definitely a difference in the symptoms enigma geckos exhibit when they’re unhealthy vs when they’re healthy, but the syndrome never goes awat
