thats wayyyyy to small! and it doesn't matter where you put the heating pad either cuz its covers the whole bottom of the tank!!! use a 10 gallon or 20 long!!!
Wait, I'm planning on getting my first Leopard Gecko this week and ofcourse i'll have to make a home for it first, so my question is do I need a heat mat and a heat bulb? I'd rather just have a heat map but i've seen people with both, the heating is only thing i'm confused by....any help?
Poor geckos!! For one, a one adult leopard gecko needs at least a 10g tank; this is much too small for one leo, much less the two that they've put in there. Sand can be used, with caution, for ADULT leos. Despite popular belief, it's not natural to their habitat. Desert =/= sand. Stick on thermometers are inaccurate, the preferred method is a temp. gun or dig. thermometer w/ probe, which let you measure the ground temperature. Leos are nocturnal, and you should have one more hide, at least.
@MrTrooperMan97 no, but you can have one if you want but leopard geckos, crested geckos, etc absorb heat from their stomachs, so youre best of getting an under tank heating pad and keeping it at one side of the tank:)
I'm more of a expert then them and I'm not considered a expert DON'T USE SAND and leopard geckos are nockturnel wow I'm gonna finish the vid and see how much more they mess up
I am not a Gecko expert by any means. I have thought about getting into Leopards but I am also wondering what their ambient temps should be. I am not sure where they come from in the wild and what temperatures they can tolerate. Any advice?

This vid is terrible!!!!!!! dont use sand, keep the temp at 80 degrees, and they rarely sleep at night. If you want to see a good vid on how to set up a tank check out my channel.
bogus vid you guys are just trying make it look easy and you dnt tell us the most important parts and once we get them they die so we have to keep buying from you daaaaaa
this setup is wrong, first of all the size! you cannot fit an adult leopard gecko in there, the demnsions of that caige are absoultley innapropriate. for somone who is labeled and "expert" shouldnt they obviousely know that leopard geckos are nocturnal reptiles, so why would he say sleep at night? also there is not enough space in that terrarium for a cool side and a hot side, therefore the leopard geko cannot thermoregulate. you oviousley know nothing about leopard geckos..
Exo-Terra calls that Terrarium a NANO Terrarium, why the FUCK would you think you could put 2 leopard geckos in there? its only good for like arachnids or other inveterates.. another thing, sand, retard. high plants, they don't climb and when they do they usually end up hurting themselves. that heat mat covers about 7/8 of the fucking thing, HOW IS THAT A TEMPERATURE GRADIENT? ONE HIDE? SERIOUSLY, Oh i guess it's alright since they sleep in it, AT NIGHT. 83 on the warm side? read a book, retard
You can get Calcium sand which can be digested by the gecko and is a supply of calcium, normal sand can be bad I don't advise it but calcium sand is fine.
@jonnojohnb Actually it isnt... calcium sand is worse! because it gets sticky when its wet... leopard gecko's stomachs are wet, they are atracted to calcium so they will just eat the sand. Fucking animal cruelty, your gecko is gonna die bitch. (it will get impaction) i bet you listened to the pet store when they told you that(: IDIOT seeya, your gecko will be happy in heavan(:
@danceunlmtd5678 I don't get them from pet stores because im not an idiot! I got mine from a reptile specialist and calcium sand is made especially for geckos so it CAN be digested! and your talking to someone who has many geckos and breeds them and im telling you now, calcium sand is fine :)
@jonnojohnb Ok well coming from a little 13 year old girl, who is grounded who searches reptiles all day. My friend used calcium sand and her gecko got impaction. maybe you are just lucky. I'm not even getting a gecko until April or March, But i research them (and many other reptiles) almost everyday. I'm sorry for trying to be safe with my pets(: maybe you should try it.
@danceunlmtd5678 I haven't had a single death for the many years I've bred geckos through using calcium sand on my leopard geckos, I've had the breeders on calcium sand for about 8-9 years now and not a single problem. lets me put it in simple terms: Calcium sand is specially formulated for geckos so that if any is swallowed it can be digested with ease. Normal sand is BAD not calcium sand...
@jonnojohnb I'm sooo sorry! That wasn't me I swear. I have been out on vacation, that was my brother. i understand about calcium sand, I haven't even gotten a gecko yet lol. My apologies ^^
@gsb92606 why is he using sand? because sand is the best choice for lizards, its soft and allows them to nessel into the sand for sleeping. would you like to bitch about impaction? rule of thumb you are NOT supposed to feed your pet inside his cage for 2 reasons, 1 it builds hostility towards anything that enters the animals living space, this is VERY true...snake owners know this better than anyone, 2 if you dont feed your animal in his home, it almost 100% garantees no chance of impaction.
@CemetaryGatesML if you own a leopard gecko you'll know... they won't eat if you move them outside their tank. They'll just wander off ignoring any sort of food you offer them. Plus there's always a chance of impaction even if you feed them somewhere else, they always lick random stuff in the cage.
@Longmachao mine always eats out of his cage. and second...licking everything in their cage....i doubt it dude. they sleeeeeep alll day and run around at night. talk to pro's and peopel at pet stores , like the owners...buddy of mine has worked at a local pet store for 20 yrs....never has any of the animals got imaction, nor has he seen an animal come in with imaction. its a very popular active store, with a retile zoo and hospital inside it
the terrarium they have is for crested geckos because its tller than wide. leopard geckos need a long tank because they dont climb, and need a lto more room to move than that tank
Wtf they need a LONG tank not a TALL one! They're terrestrial animals so they need more space to go side to side not up and down like frogs! And they need SOME humidity but that was good info i guess.
they have good info but that is a bad set up its waaaayyy too small for a leo.I wouldnt put a baby leo in there I would start one baby off in a 10 gal.
bad set up. A leopard gecko does not need light and only a heat mat on one side of the tank not the whole tank and that tank is too small for 1 let alone 2. The rule is a 10 gallon for 1 but a 20 is better for one.
worst care ever!!! first of all u should atleast have a 10 gallon for a baby leopard gecko u can keep an adult in a 10 gallon too but a 20 gal is better. also u need a humid hide so when it starts shedding it can go in there and shed. heating mat is better then a light becuase geckos need to warm there stomachs for better digestion. dont use sand unless your gecko is an adult. but still dont recommend. it does sometimes sleeps at night, if its bored and thats about all i have to say
DUDE leopard geckos dont use sand in fact if they swallow that it could kill them! and also these kinda geckos dont use lighting cuz theyre nocternal and even though sometimes they do sleep at night the heat from the light can injure them!
Agreed and nothing said about humid hides when shedding....but it does look good lol (Doesn't meen crap if it doesn't provide the neccessary needs for a leo)
my gecko have like holes into the " brain " on the side i dont know is that normal for the ears i think it is.. its the onlhy thing i can get to be ears by the look.. please reply
Sand, even calcium sand can be dangerous if your gecko swallows it, cause if swallowed, it will build up in the geckos stomic and get stuck in its throat, thus causing impaction, which will kill your gecko.
u do not need a under tank heater and plz gues dont use heat rock for ur leapord geicos it will burn there tummys plz check out my leapord geicos if you have any question please feel free to write me a letter add me subsribe to me thanx
oh god this is not that good. Yea this is okay for a baby but a 20 gallon tank is the best for an adult gecko. Plus they do not need the day light they are nucturnal.
I'm not sure if this is right or not but I used to have an armadilo lizard and I had wood chips in his cage because the guy said that when they eat they can swallow the sand and it gets stuck in their throat. Maybe that was only for that kind of lizard. Just correct me if I'm wrong.
Complete Idiot, this video is bullshit and should be taken down. Sand, cramped enclosure, incorrect temperature information, and Leopard Geckos wont be sleeping at night, they're nocturnal. I hope someone beats the crap out of that idiot and his stupid bimbo helper
Deffinatly DONT use sand, it is very deadly, and I have had 2 leos die from it, and 2 in my care who currently have it(I have a reptile rescue facility) This is NOT there natural substrate, they live on clay and rock, and come nowhere near sand. It can take a short or very long time to show the symptoms of impaction.
The substrate I use is paper towel. You can also use slate, or non-slip tile/lino.
Don't use newspaper(the ink content, I know its soy ink, but it can still effect them), also don't use repti-carpet. It gets easily worn down, and can rap around there toes, and take them off(leo toes are very sensitive, and easily come off)
i dnt no why people always go on about sand, iv had my leo for 6 yrs now and she has never been impacted. i also have this viv and it works pretty well, she explores it, occasionally climbs on the background when shes hunting and it has enough room for a moist hide + hot side. im gonna get another 1 for my other leo soon aswell, THEY ARE NOT BAD VIVS.
6 years is not a very long life for an animal that can live to be 20+ years. Impaction doesn't happen right away, it happens over a long period of time when sand builds up in the system. Also, In my opinion these vivs are way too small...they are built for arboreal geckos, not terrestrial ones. I can imagine living in that would make a very boring life indeed...
Cage is too short for adequate temp gradient and too high for adequate ventilation. Try a 20 long. Sand is an impaction risk and should be avoided (walnuts too!). Lighting incandescent on a timer - 12-14 hrs. Moist hides are good - a warm one and a cool one. Radio Shack has good digital therms. Monitor hot end temp. I love slate over heat pad to dissipate the heat around the tank. LGs do well in captivity with right conditions. Read "The Leopard Gecko Manual"
That is a big negative on that one, crushed walnut substrate can harm lizards and geckos. I currently have three geckos and four lizards and have NEVER put crushed walnut in their enclosures. Crushed walnut, when eaten can damage the gecko/lizards organs.
Nice sand to. Ever heard of impaction? lol MY first Leo died not to long after I got her from the pet shop because they had sand in the enclosure, which impacted her, and she never ate for about 2 weeks. Finally died... :(

oh god this is not that good. Yea this is okay for a baby but a 20 gallon tank is the best for an adult gecko. Plus they do not need the day light they are nucturnal.

I'm not sure if this is right or not but I used to have an armadilo lizard and I had wood chips in his cage because the guy said that when they eat they can swallow the sand and it gets stuck in their throat. Maybe that was only for that kind of lizard. Just correct me if I'm wrong.

you have to change temperature at night to keep it natural you dumbass
Kettenschredderer 3 years ago
Complete Idiot, this video is bullshit and should be taken down. Sand, cramped enclosure, incorrect temperature information, and Leopard Geckos wont be sleeping at night, they're nocturnal. I hope someone beats the crap out of that idiot and his stupid bimbo helper

Deffinatly DONT use sand, it is very deadly, and I have had 2 leos die from it, and 2 in my care who currently have it(I have a reptile rescue facility) This is NOT there natural substrate, they live on clay and rock, and come nowhere near sand. It can take a short or very long time to show the symptoms of impaction.

can you suggest a better substrate? (plz :P)
chingpongionglong 3 years ago
The substrate I use is paper towel. You can also use slate, or non-slip tile/lino.
Don't use newspaper(the ink content, I know its soy ink, but it can still effect them), also don't use repti-carpet. It gets easily worn down, and can rap around there toes, and take them off(leo toes are very sensitive, and easily come off)

i dnt no why people always go on about sand, iv had my leo for 6 yrs now and she has never been impacted. i also have this viv and it works pretty well, she explores it, occasionally climbs on the background when shes hunting and it has enough room for a moist hide + hot side. im gonna get another 1 for my other leo soon aswell, THEY ARE NOT BAD VIVS.
Jon2ooo8 3 years ago
6 years is not a very long life for an animal that can live to be 20+ years. Impaction doesn't happen right away, it happens over a long period of time when sand builds up in the system. Also, In my opinion these vivs are way too small...they are built for arboreal geckos, not terrestrial ones. I can imagine living in that would make a very boring life indeed...

the only sort of sand you can use is calcium dsand no other!!! if you use another you WILL kill your gecko keep that in mind
juene1 3 years ago
Cage is too short for adequate temp gradient and too high for adequate ventilation. Try a 20 long. Sand is an impaction risk and should be avoided (walnuts too!). Lighting incandescent on a timer - 12-14 hrs. Moist hides are good - a warm one and a cool one. Radio Shack has good digital therms. Monitor hot end temp. I love slate over heat pad to dissipate the heat around the tank. LGs do well in captivity with right conditions. Read "The Leopard Gecko Manual"

yea it is even calcium sand if you want something that looks like sand crushed walnuts are better
coclhs944 3 years ago
That is a big negative on that one, crushed walnut substrate can harm lizards and geckos. I currently have three geckos and four lizards and have NEVER put crushed walnut in their enclosures. Crushed walnut, when eaten can damage the gecko/lizards organs.

Nice sand to. Ever heard of impaction? lol MY first Leo died not to long after I got her from the pet shop because they had sand in the enclosure, which impacted her, and she never ate for about 2 weeks. Finally died... :(

adam859 3 years ago
It was even the Calci-sand. People swear it is safe but even the companies agree impaction can still happen.
powerman2442 3 years ago 2
calci-sand is even worse some say because if they are lacking calcium in their diets they will go looking for it, and purposefully eat the sand
