My favourite Crested Gecko Morph has to be the Lilly White! It is such an incredible gene! The beauty of the animals expressing this genetic trait is astounding! What I also love is that no two lillies are the same - not even clutch mates! Talk about special! Thank you for watching everyone!
I traveled two hours just to get a tiger morph cresty, my first pet! 2 months after I got him he is great, growing a lot and will even sit on my shoulder when I have to do homework or watch some tv. I think he likes it when the Geico commercial comes on :D.
It was such a joy to see the adorable and spunky personalities of these two beautiful geckos! I cracked up when your lily white just walked right into the little box lmao XD
LOVED this video, thank you! I am literally about to upgrade my adult crested gecko to an 18x18x24 exo terra bioactive enclosure and you have given me inspiration and confidence that I know what to do! Love the look of your enclosures!
You guys are lucky. I would like to have something like that in my bedroom but then both me and the cat would be watching it and you don't know what she's like! 😭
@@braydonbroome7473 funny you ask that today considering today is the day piccolo was delivered. I have a job at sonic which I love a lot and I make so much money even If it’s nothing compared to others it’s a LOT to me. I do take a lot more naps now tho. I find myself tired often but that’s fine.
@@braydonbroome7473 piccolo is quite shy and I only try to hold him for about a minute so I don’t stress him out while he’s still exploring his new home. I’m going to try and hold him for at least 5 minutes next week. Hopefully he won’t be scared of me for too long.
@@pIllowVent84 that’s awesome! I haven’t worked at sonic but I have worked in food service. Proud of you for grinding and keep it up. Oh yeah don’t report your cash tips if you haven’t already known that. Aside from that best of luck with Piccolo! I have a crested I got in October and i still haven’t named it. He just goes by little dude. And I’m not even sure if it’s a he 😂
Here’s a tip: Depending on what type of crestie you have you might want to get a certain bedding. For instance, I got my crestie a coconut dirt bedding, I do not recommended this because mine tried to eat it due to the coconut in it. I’ve learned now that it can be very lethal if they eat too much of that type. Now I choose carpet, but you also have to be careful about that because certain carpets have a low quality material and gecko pads get stuck on it. Also I recommend an auto sprayer, it’s easier for when you have to go on trips for many days and people don’t need to comeover every couple hours to spray it and instead they can focus on feeding it and caring for your crestie. Also if you feed your crestie crickets, only feed them one or maybe two a week depending on the cricket size, if they have to much they get these weird bumps on their body and from what I know it’s not healthy. Also I have made the mistake of wanting to be able to see my crestie more so I only put 1 plant in, but hiding is natural and probably makes them feed a lot more comfortable. Lastly, I don’t recommend mesh hammocks bought at pet stores, especially for hatchlings. Their delicate pads can easily get stuck in the mesh and could injure them badly. Thanks for reading all this and have a nice day! (Also I recommend getting a crestie, they are amazing)
I was wondering why my crested gecko stop eating (every other day) she would clean out the bowls now she has stop eating for a couple of days do you know what’s wrong i just moved her into a new cage because she was to big for the other one and she was eating just fine when I moved her for a week and half now she stop
God I want to create a vivarium. But I'm still somewhat new despite having my gecko for almost two years. After watching these I feel like I've been treating my gecko poorly. Thanks for the videos!
I love my crestie! He is a lavender harlequin with some dalmation spots and possibly some brindling. When I was setting up my bioactive for him I watched your other video of setting up the other enclosures for your cresties and it was a huge help, it’s how I found this channel actually
I have 55 crested geckos. I really enjoy keeping them, they do a lot of dumb entertaining things. I have a variety of morphs but breed primarily for high contract pinstripes with drips :)
I have two female crested geckos and they are easily one of my favorite geckos! I love their personalities so much. my one, rin, is a pure flame. then my other, haruka,is a flame bold-tricolor!!💜 I am actually currently working on building a natural vivarium for rin (dont worry haruka is next!), so this video is very helpful! thank you!
they look great! i don’t have any crested geckos, but my best friend has on and i’ve cared for him before! the jungle mix is ok for me, it always gives me splinters. i prefer zoomed’s reptisoil. i love the cork! also the music in this video was nice😅
Where did you get the background? I'm starting the process of making a couple of bioactive tanks for my future geckos. I'm hoping to get a crested and a gargoyle!
Hi there! I noticed that you didn't put springtails and isopods in the substrate, is this okay to do? I read somewhere that you would have to just keep replacing the substrate. How frequent do you have to do this without a CUC? Ty! Beautiful build btw!
Oh wonderful! I hope you like it! Thank you so much for supporting the channel! ☺️ Sneak peek! Pingus first baby just hatched tonight and you’ll be meeting them next week!
I love how pingu somehow liked that cellphone box more than a massive beautiful cage 😅. Love your vids I always watch them when feeding my animals or setting up tanks 😊
I own a female crested gecko, and I really enjoy keeping her! She is my very first reptile, and I think she is a Pinstripe / Dalmatian morph. She has a big appetite too!
Yes you could say I have and adore cresties, I have 8 all rescues. I have two harlequin ,Dalmatian ,tiger ,flame ,red patternless ,blonde ,Halloween, all are in bio active enclosures. They are so fun to watch and interact with .. great video!
I don’t have a crested gecko but I do have a Juvenile gargoyle gecko that I haven’t named yet. I just built an 18x18x36 foam background and mounted corkbark and live planted tank. Really excited for him to grow up so he can get in there. He is a brownish blackish stripe!
I used to have a crested gecko named splat, sadly she passed away due to a chronic bone disorder which is rare in cresties but we knew that we didn’t have long with her before getting her. Her owner was in a car accident which sadly took his life and we offered to have her. She was only 2 months old and we had her for a few weeks after taking her to the vet for a check up (as u should after getting any new pet) and found out that she had the disorder. 3 weeks later she passed away. RIP Splat
I loved the video! I just got a new 18x18x24 tank today at a reptile expo for my crested gecko! Your videos helped a lot, & I DIED when she went into the box and got cozy. Id love a lily white! 😊👍🏻😍
hi :) I know this vid was made a long time ago but I'm getting a crested gecko soon and I was wondering if I need any special lights or anything for my future crested gecko ( love you vids btw ) :)
This video was very helpful, thank you! I'm actually getting a crested gecko in a few weeks and I've been looking for the different types of enrichment crested owners would recommend. :)
I have one male crested gecko who is just leaving his juvenile state. He is a caramel brown flame with some white and black spots and ivory white underneath. I love having him but he has been having problems like retained shed and eating issues, most of the problems are solved (except for the retained shed, he won't let me take it off). Besides some issues, I run into he is one of the best things that have happened to me and I can't wait to try some of the stuff you added in your video. I love your videos and hope to see more crestie content in the future.
thanks for all the kind words and support! If your gecko is having shedding issues your humidity may be too low. Make sure its at least sitting between 60-70% :).
I've watched so, so many RUclipsrs with animal content. And there are seriously only 3-4 that I actually really like, who knows their shit, have lovely animals, and has a great personality. One of those are you!
What are certain bulbs that you can use and to stay away from?? With fake plants I have one but I’ve noticed it starts to rust. How did you even stop that from happening? Do you have to just keep on cleaning it or rebuying them. Do ledges lights provide heat as well for a bioactive set up ?
What type of plants did you put in the tanks? Also, what is the purpose of the balls under the mesh? What are they made of? Do you use a water mister? I’m looking to upgrade my crestie’s tank but want to make sure to do it right. Ty!
Thank you very much I know this video is an old one but I've decided to take action and renovate my full grown crested gecko big cage with a timed mister so I no longer have to spray the cage with a bottle bc I injured myself and adding the right layers under the soil also adding real fresh plants and a big water dish. Is there anyway u have a video on all they can eat and what's best for them to eat?
May I ask how often you clean the tank to prevent and rid of the mold built up? Also, during cleaning do you replace all substrate again ( jungle mix)? Thank you
sorry if this sounds stupid but is it necessary to add a background? like, does it do more than just add visually? hold moisturize maybe? Im completely new to learning about crested geckos!
I have 2 crested geckos, they're easily my favourite gecko species! But I love all the New Caledonian species. I find cresties extremely easy to care for. I'm currently in the process of building them bioactive setups. I have no idea what morphs they are since they were both rescues! They have the biggest personalities; two of the sassiest animals I've ever met. I have a 5yo female named Daenerys and a 1yo named Arya. ❤
Do u use any heat lamps I know u don't need to?? Also do use any uvb again their nocturnal but research said they do sleep in the sun thanks beautiful gecko's
I have a baby crestie who looks like Nona. Mine is from a reptile rescue, was 3 months old, now 10 months. To be bioactive, doesn’t an enclosure have to have a cleanup crew?
Great stuff! thanks for adopting a pet in need! Never claimed the enclosures were bioactive ;). You are correct though, those are important components!
Do you have to do the little ball things and the mesh before the substrate or can you just put the substrate in? Also how often do you have to change the substrate and do you need springtails/isopods
I LOVE keeping my crested gecko :). I am not sure what morph he is. He is a orange color and his head area is a dark brown color. His tail has some white splotches as well! If you know what morph he is, please feel free to let me know!
I just got my first crested gecko ever and it has been a pretty cool and rewarding experience thus far! His name is Igor and he's a harlequin, partial pinstripe, tricolor!
I am getting a crested gecko soon and am very excited to get him but my only problem is the humidity Is too low for what he needs. Any tips for keeping the humidity up?
I have a question! How do you clean/change the substrate if there are plants rooted in there? I really want to do a vivarium with live plants but I don't know how I would clean/replace the substrate.
Hi there:) IMPORTANT QUESTION: I have a cresty in a bioactive 10 Gallon Tank but it’s not tall enough for him to climb at all. My big question that I want to know is would you recommend me changing all of the current media (coco husk and moss) to brand new media and buying all new mold eating bugs and such.. and the drainage balls for the bottom of the tank too. OR am I able to keep the current stuff and plants and just place them into the new tank??? I will probly forsure replace the drainage balls but the coco husk and moss is what I’m wondering. I’ve had them in there for a year now
For a real background and cheaper, take the bark off a tree or the ones that fallen. Cut it to the size of the tank. Bake the bark in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Use Great Stuff Pond and Stone and spray the back then attach the bark. let it dry and cut the extra foam. Looks awesome.
haha i know i’m a bit late to this video (i’m planning on upgrading my geckos 20gal tank to an 18x18x24 vivarium, so i decided to check out your videos) but i love caring for my gecko, although he can be a bit hyper since he’s only 1 1/2 years old lol. he is a cream, patternless gecko. :)
my crestie is a rescue! i’m not sure if his morph but some people have been saying he’s a flame! he doesn’t really like handling so i’m moving him over to a bioactive so i don’t have to stress him out and clean it!
Did you buy these plants from a website or from a local nursery? Wanting to change the plants in my terrariums for my cresties but im nervous to get them from nurseries because of pesticides.
My favourite Crested Gecko Morph has to be the Lilly White! It is such an incredible gene! The beauty of the animals expressing this genetic trait is astounding! What I also love is that no two lillies are the same - not even clutch mates! Talk about special! Thank you for watching everyone!
Reptiliatus where do you get your cork backgrounds? I currently have a lily white female on a payment plan she’s almost paid off!
Agree Lilly Whites are beautiful.
What plant did you use?
Hey dude do you use uva uvb lights
Btw what is the black material you put on top of the rocks, are they rocks?

I'm crying. This is so beautiful 😭
@@limitless4375 aww, thanks
I got my mom fired from geico because she was pregnant with me and missed work after she gave birth to me
@@KarmicEwe well, you're a terrible child then.
Also always loosen the "root ball" when planting plants from a pot! 🥰 Helps them establish their system faster.
Great tip! The plants I planted where actually all from one massive root ball I separated up haha.
It was such a joy to see the adorable and spunky personalities of these two beautiful geckos! I cracked up when your lily white just walked right into the little box lmao XD
Thank you so much! Haha, Pingu is a cheeky gecko!

It's definitely recommended to add springtails and or isopods
I am think about getting a crestie soon! This helped a lot about setting them up!!
One of the best videos on how to set a bioactive tank up 👍🏽 Thank you
Is it really bioactive if there’s no isopods or springtails
Your vivariums are always so stunning!! I love the cork background you use, where do you buy it from or what brand is it?
I recently got a crested gecko I love him so much one of the coolest pets ever
wonderful, congrats!

I don’t own one yet, I have all the stuff just waiting on the gecko itself
Can you update us please😁
What’s the name?
I love watching bio-active enclosure set ups. Would love to get Amazon milk frogs some day and set one up for them.
Thanks for watching! That would def be cool!
Great video! Do you have Link to the background you adhered to the back?
That’s what I’d like to know as well

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
My brother owns a crestie, and we got isopods and live plants to make it bioactive. Thank you for the guide, it really helped us out
Also, I do not know what morph it is. It’s name is Zilla ( I am also saying it cause I don’t know it’s gender 🤷♂️ )
Nice! My pleasure! ☺️👍🏼🦎
@@Reptiliatus Oh! What did you use for the background if the tanks?
And one more question, do you think a Crestie tank needs a background?

Hey reptiliatus, where did you buy your cork from for this vivarium?
I have a baby crestie who looks like Nona. Mine is from a reptile rescue, was 3 months old, now 10 months. To be bioactive, doesn’t an enclosure have to have a cleanup crew?

Also question, can an enclosure be too large? If I get one in its juvenile stage I don’t wanna get a tank to large.
if they are really little still sometimes it's better to have less of a large enclosure so they can find their food more easily! :)

I’ve had them in there for a year now
Yay can’t wait for it to start
Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Where do you get the background and bark?
For a real background and cheaper, take the bark off a tree or the ones that fallen. Cut it to the size of the tank. Bake the bark in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Use Great Stuff Pond and Stone and spray the back then attach the bark. let it dry and cut the extra foam. Looks awesome.
Did you put heating in?
And If yes how warm should it be
I have 10 crested geckos, I love them all! I have Dalmatians, pinstripes/quadstripes,,I would love to have a Lilly white one day. Great video!
So cool! You should get one for sure! :)
haha i know i’m a bit late to this video (i’m planning on upgrading my geckos 20gal tank to an 18x18x24 vivarium, so i decided to check out your videos) but i love caring for my gecko, although he can be a bit hyper since he’s only 1 1/2 years old lol. he is a cream, patternless gecko. :)
Just a quick question can you put the gekos in the 18x18x24 tank while they are still young?
what pray bottle brand is the yellow one you have it works great
Bro thx I needed this kind of video for my crested gecko ❤❤❤ 😊😊😊
My pleasure! Glad you liked it!
great video! what was that first plant you did?
Where do you buy your cork rounds and pieces of bark? Neither of my local pet stores sell them and all the ones I’ve found online are pretty pricey
my crestie is a rescue! i’m not sure if his morph but some people have been saying he’s a flame! he doesn’t really like handling so i’m moving him over to a bioactive so i don’t have to stress him out and clean it!
Did you buy these plants from a website or from a local nursery? Wanting to change the plants in my terrariums for my cresties but im nervous to get them from nurseries because of pesticides.
How would you clean those out though? And how often? Would you only be replacing the substrate?
So how humid do you make your enclosures? They look wonderful.
If you have a crested gecko do you need a vertical terrarium or would a 24 inc high 48 inch wide work? And what kind of light do they need
