Everyone's such an uncle tom-wannabe with their "no sand!" (cu's they read it on the internet, and now they think they appear educated by posting "no sand" on youtube) Experienced breeders use sand sometimes, despite it's rep. It comes down to age and behaviour of gecko as well as type of sand. It's not a black or white issue ppl
The temps should be 90 degrees on the hot side and about.80 on the cool side and it is.not a good idea to use sand at all if anything use reptile carpet or paper towel
Sand is not always bad like she said just wait till they are a little bigger and TRY it, it can cause impaction but I have had sand in my terrarium for 2 years
Girl ur fukin retarded, first u say sand is bad. It can cause impaction, and also build up on the toes, but u still use it. Reptile carpet, and just plain paper towel are the best substrates. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.
is this chick stupid ... !? ive watched this twice and now shes just twice as dumb ... shes like it can cause impaction but i use it ?! WTF check my vids out guys i have like no views lol imma post more cuz i just got a neww one :]
do you need a light cuz i have limited funds right now and i cant get one well i am 15 after all and i have a heat pad so will the heat pad do or i need a light and were would i put the heat pad on the tank
@tonybrode have a UTH [under tank heater] for the heat pad. It should be no more then 2/3 of the cage. They don't really need a light but I have one anyways. It's a black light. They do not need UVB lights. So all in all, the heat pad should do enough.
@tonybrode No. They don't live on that stuff. That's for tropical lizards. For a leo use a reptile carpet, paper towels, or slate [if you fear it getting too hot from the UTH put a reptile carpet under the slate tiles].
sand kills geckos and most reptiles except for the huge ones like adult iguanas also calci-sand is even worse since it tempts the gecko to eat it dont use it i know it looks good but you get repticarpet, tiles, paper towel or even newspaper. also use atleast a 10 gal for a gecko preferably a 15+ gal because geckos live longer the more exercise they get.
Omg she really needs to stop makeing these videos. Her bearded dragon video sucked so bad and i fell really sorry for this leopard gecko, and the bearded dragon...

Idiot calci sand is so bad for any lizard. I have used sand for years and none got impacted. When I feed crickets, I put them in a sperate container with no substrate and put the crickets in there. And I feed all the worms with feeding tongs. So there's not really a way they will eat the sand. But with calci sand.... Easily digestible my ass! And the leos WILL eat it if there low on calcium. I just want to punch her in the face!

yeh this woman is useless. ive seen her care facts on acouple differant reptiles and most of her advice could be fatal to your critters. you would be better off not watching her videos
yes....... ofcourse sand kills.... thats why you find loads of leopard geckos dead on the top of the sand in the dessert... yes, i am taking the piss... sands fine, its what their used to??
@TheZomVarrucktGenius youdont find loads of leopard geckos dead on the sand in the desert because they dont live on sand in the desert, anyone who is intelligent knows that they dont live in fucking dunes, they live on rocks
@MegaSierra123 no it wont, it depends on the gecko, mine were raised on coco fiber and peat moss, no problems at all, but impaction from sand after a month,, they are fine now though,, and still on eco eatrh
@comanderkuddles oh ok ya I guess its ok as long as there has not been a problem yet. Also it could be that the coco fiber is big so the gecko can not get it in his/her mouth. And the peat moss is fine sometimes its used for baby leos bedding.
@MegaSierra123 yea, the cocofiber is small enough to be eaten, but i guess it goes through their digestive system easier so its alot harder to get impacted from it,(but it stinks) i love peat moss for them
@comanderkuddles oh and also he/she could be spitting out the coco fiber because they dont like the taste. And also if the gecko was raised on the coco fiber there is also a lower chance of impaction
@MegaSierra123 lol i have seen her spitting out coco fiber before lol it funny, leo was raised on peat moss, but thats similar to eco earth(coco fiber) so she is used to it, im not sure about my other leo, i got her from tiki tiki reptiles at the phoenix reptle expo last year and they didnt say anything about what substrate she was on
@comanderkuddles ya lol! Ya it must be that they don't like the taste of it. I didn't know what kinda bedding your gecko was on as a baby. I have seen many people raise babys on paper towels and if he was on peat moss then he wil do fine. but is he was raised on paper towels then coco fiber might not be the best thing.
@MegaSierra123 yea, i dont remember exactly what it was, but lllreptile was sellin big bags of it, it might have been shreaded paper towels, it was white, solid wite, it was that carefresh ultra white pet bedding, i just found it as i was typing this
oh my god this woman is dumb as dirt. they are from arid rock and mudlands. just because they are labeled as desert species dosent mean they come on sand. antartica is a desert. a desert is just a vast barrin land that is dry with few vegitation. they do not come on sand. subsrate shouldnt be loose. it should be reptile carpet.
..... someone please save those poor geckos from this woman.... she shouldn't be allowed near one.... Sand can but won't always kill gecko, be smart and use Repti Carpet. Other then that she just sounds retarded about the subject
Sand won't necessary cause impaction... Sometimes it does, yeah, and I understand u if u don't wanna take that risk. But it's nothing worse than bark... Bark can kill ur leo to!
can someone tell me what the best size tank is for 1 gecko. some people say 10 gallons is more than big enough, while others say your need at least a 20 gallon or bigger. ive found 2 tanks, but not sure what to get. 1 is 24 by 15 by 12" and the other is 30 by 15 by 12". im not getting the gecko until july or when ive done my room out. but i want to get the tank and lid next month
@ajhunt61 No, the only time sand kills is when the reptile eats it and you can avoid that by feeding them their crickets, worms etc. with tongs instead I have: 2 Bearded Dragons, 2 Leopard Geckos, and 1 Alligator gecko all on sand and they have been alive for a very long time
The tank is not too small for a gecko thats young. Using sand wont kill your gecko if its not eating in its tank. Some choose to feed in another tank.
@nevilleblackphoto I meant to reply to this long ago but i said this when i first got my gecko and the workers at the shop i bought the gecko from didn't know what they were talking about and claimed geckos didn't crap. they also told me to use sand and im treating it for compaction
my bearded dragon got very sick and risked death once because of TOO MUCH calcium from that sand that the petstore suggested.. end result, half of the cage had sand and the other had soft green turf that wouldnt and couldnt get accidentally eaten or torn up by claws. another thing thats bad with using JUST sand is the fact that it caused too much friction on his hands and feet causing irritation that we didnt notice but the vet did. USE 50% CALCI-SAND AND 50% TURF OR A SOFT SAFE ALTERNATIVE!!
@luisdog619 first off... im only trying to be helpful... second, ANY reptile can get too much calcium... how ignorant are people these days? really?? i just gave advice from personal experience with reptiles over the years and i was insulted?? whatever man, enjoy trolling people on youtube "luisdog619" because it seems its all youre good for
At the Exotic Veterinary Clinic I work at we recommend recycled paper products becuase they are non-toxic, easily digestable and odor absorbent. We also recommend paper towels, newpaper, and the only problem with terrarium carpet is the that it can be difficult to sanitize. Otherwise terrarium carpet is my first choice for my geckos. I use care fresh substrate for my savanah monitor.
no wook products should be used due to oils that can case repiratory irritation and can be accidently ingested while chasing insects causing a foreign body obstruction. Sand may not be a problem, even with your gecko swollowing it, but calsium sand in large enough amounts will clump together causing a blockage in the stomach. The woman in the video even admits impactions can happen from sand. tho I use terrarium carpet it can be difficult to sanitize; I use a 1:9 bleach to water solution.
yeah calcium sand or any sand is bad because geckos CANNOT digest sand, and when they want to eat calcium they will eat the sand and become impacted and then possibly die. When diving for prey they will ingest some sand and over time that will also impact the. USE RETILE CARPET!
@KLSmovies no! i wouldnt even use sand because either of those will impact a gecko which will lead to its death. use reptile carpet it comes in many different colours, is safe, and easy to clean.
@KLSmovies yeah well sawdust is not very good, along with impaction it could cause respitory problems. Sometimes people use a type of wood shavings for snakes, but it should not be for geckos. I actually work at a pet store
i`m getting a leopard gecko i want to learn more before i get it an i want to pick a oarkit bark for leopard geckos bedding for my first step but i want to get more info
yes, it fine and dont listen to all the people. ive used calcium substrate for a long time, it'll only back up their system if they eat a lot of it. if you do buy substrate just make sure its finely ground
she goes agaist the other guy on expert village about the sand shes wrong hes right sand causes impaction even calcium sand because it is man made and not its natural shape under a microscope!
damn u cll yourself expert how dumb are sand causes impaction yea they are desert animals but sand can kill them you said even in this vid it causes impaction why would you still use!!!!!!! you should not ever listen to anything involving sand as a compleate substrate!!!
@TheLeoexpert only if your gecko is eating a alot of sand is he in danger of impaction, if thats the case then yeah dont use it. my gecko is on the white calcium sand so the little he may consume when catching his prey is harmless. as long as your gecko show no signs of a blue seemingly bruised spot on it's abdomen or lack of appetite or lethargy then he's fine. if he does show these signs then you have a gecko that likes to eat sand and yes putting sand with him of anykind is dumb.
@violetcornsnake1 ur a dumbass, sand kills??? learn to take kare of ur pet u dumbass... people like u are the reason why geckos everywere live uncomfrable lives living on carpet. RULE of thumb, when you feed ur animal, you dont feed them inside their home, snake owners know this better than anyone, and yet this rule is passed by ignorent owners. if you dont feed them inside their home, they will never eat sand, thus never get impaction +++ sand offers farr better living conditions and comfort
Did u even reasearch before you got ur lepard gecko? That calcium sand is the worse sand u can get, the lizard licks too much of it and gets inpacted, and plus when the lepard gecko gets bigger ur going to need a 15 gallon for it to grow it's biggest
i had in bark and rocks and stones. i want to put in sand but i am scared of him digesting it. he not that young, he's as big as the old ones. what do use all think is should put in. ?????
@15VTI dont use any of that use reptile carpet, buy 2 of the size of your tank put one down, then cut the other in half and put it on the side your leo craps on you can switch the two halfs, then when ever he craps take out the peice of carpet and throw the poo out and put the peice back in, if you want u can wash the carpet but use cold water because hot water will shrink it, and replace the both carpets every month or so beacuse of the urine, id say this is the best thing to do cuz its so easy

yeah calcium sand or any sand is bad because geckos CANNOT digest sand, and when they want to eat calcium they will eat the sand and become impacted and then possibly die. When diving for prey they will ingest some sand and over time that will also impact the. USE RETILE CARPET!

is sawdust ok?
KLSmovies 1 year ago
@KLSmovies no! i wouldnt even use sand because either of those will impact a gecko which will lead to its death. use reptile carpet it comes in many different colours, is safe, and easy to clean.
0NEVERHIDE0 1 year ago
@0NEVERHIDE0 i said sawdust because my local pet shop has diffrent bedding to choose from
KLSmovies 1 year ago
@KLSmovies yeah well sawdust is not very good, along with impaction it could cause respitory problems. Sometimes people use a type of wood shavings for snakes, but it should not be for geckos. I actually work at a pet store

MrCoolaaa1 1 year ago
@MrCoolaaa1
yes, it fine and dont listen to all the people. ive used calcium substrate for a long time, it'll only back up their system if they eat a lot of it. if you do buy substrate just make sure its finely ground

@MrCoolaaa1 no, it will get impaction, use tissue paper,

damn u cll yourself expert how dumb are sand causes impaction yea they are desert animals but sand can kill them you said even in this vid it causes impaction why would you still use!!!!!!! you should not ever listen to anything involving sand as a compleate substrate!!!
TheLeoexpert 1 year ago
@TheLeoexpert only if your gecko is eating a alot of sand is he in danger of impaction, if thats the case then yeah dont use it. my gecko is on the white calcium sand so the little he may consume when catching his prey is harmless. as long as your gecko show no signs of a blue seemingly bruised spot on it's abdomen or lack of appetite or lethargy then he's fine. if he does show these signs then you have a gecko that likes to eat sand and yes putting sand with him of anykind is dumb.

@violetcornsnake1 ur a dumbass, sand kills??? learn to take kare of ur pet u dumbass... people like u are the reason why geckos everywere live uncomfrable lives living on carpet. RULE of thumb, when you feed ur animal, you dont feed them inside their home, snake owners know this better than anyone, and yet this rule is passed by ignorent owners. if you dont feed them inside their home, they will never eat sand, thus never get impaction +++ sand offers farr better living conditions and comfort

alexmini123 1 year ago
Did u even reasearch before you got ur lepard gecko? That calcium sand is the worse sand u can get, the lizard licks too much of it and gets inpacted, and plus when the lepard gecko gets bigger ur going to need a 15 gallon for it to grow it's biggest

i had in bark and rocks and stones. i want to put in sand but i am scared of him digesting it. he not that young, he's as big as the old ones. what do use all think is should put in. ?????
15VTI 1 year ago
@15VTI dont use any of that use reptile carpet, buy 2 of the size of your tank put one down, then cut the other in half and put it on the side your leo craps on you can switch the two halfs, then when ever he craps take out the peice of carpet and throw the poo out and put the peice back in, if you want u can wash the carpet but use cold water because hot water will shrink it, and replace the both carpets every month or so beacuse of the urine, id say this is the best thing to do cuz its so easy
