How to Care for Gecko Lizards : How to Acclimate Geckos to New Habitats

[CORYSPHOTOS]

mine came in his 20 gallon vivarium and now we have a albino semi paternless female.

[CORYSPHOTOS]

@CORYSPHOTOS i meant gallon

[tigger00025]

what substrat are u using m8

[strhunter666]

i dont even have a leopeard gecko and i know ur dumb

[naneek1]

particle based substrate is a baaad idea. terrible husbandry method. especially fine wood shavings. this video = fail.

[AnimalLover161]

@naneek1 dude those are big shavings and there adults so it is perfectly fine because in the vid you can even see then spit it out if its in there mouth. naneek1=fail

[godricsword2]

@DrewCruption you should wait until they are the same size, like you said. Keep them in their cages with the temp low or off, and then, after 6-8 weeks of this, put them together. Research more cause I don't remember if you do something else or just leave them.

[AlphaGeckos]

you should leave them alone for AT LEAST a week.

[DrewCrumpton]

How do I add a new male gecko to a tank with a female already there? He is almost as big as her.

[gascello1]

Dont, they WILL mate and unless your very ready for this oyu should not house them together.

[reptiledude24]

@gascello1 not if they are both female

[15975322]

Swe.

[stackcups]

@flambique He is brobably just scared trying to get used to things. If he doesn't start eating by two weeks, thats when you should start worrying.

[patrick123gk]

He is swedish retards..

[Kyon]

I have two leopard gecko's but the bigger one will always try and attack the baby :S

they're not from the same..hmm family I guess- is there anyway for them to stay in the same tank without the bigger one trying to attack the smaller one?

[RachelsRants]

probably not, best to seperate them before someone gets badly hurt or too stressed

[Cola777333]

keep the baby one in another tank until there both around the same size then put them together...

[Jnice12]

can you use real grass for substrate please let me know

[hopscotchproductionz]

a little late but no u shouldnt it can cause and carry bad parasites

[pimpinpenz]

at like 135-145 the yellow geck licks the shavings who can say impaction!

[xxArcticWolf13Xx]

[sexiilicous1]

[jamesmotzer]

[maskrider23]

hi! what kind of substrate are you using? thanks

[olf267]

Why is this called "how to care for gecko lizards" and not "how to care for leopard geckos?" theres more than one type of gecko, expertvillage!!!!!!!!!

[Allaeldein]

i hate the way this guy sais his name:P

[Verum09]

[Gorrilaz45]

[JaKFail]

Swedish names can't be said when you speak English, the accents don't match in anyway lol

[Gorrilaz45]

hes dutch not swedish

[JaKFail]

Johan Svahnström is a comment swedish name.

ö in dutch? no..

[DrunkenFisting]

your gonna spend at least 125 dollars i spent 158 dallars total so remember -10 or 20 gallon -water dish -food dish -hide -humid hide -reptile carpet or paper towels -food crickets or mealworms no waxworms -heat pad/mat -keep it indoors

[DrunkenFisting]

home- 10+ gallon tank bigger the better

no sand!!! use papertowel or reptile carpet

feeding- every other day normal sized mealworms or crickets

-have a regular hide and a humid hide

(humid hide is a box that has a moist substrate in it.)

(hides can be purchased for less than ten dollard or you can make em)

heat- heat mat is recomended not a heat lamp they are nocturnal no need for uv

other- calcium plus, and or leopard gecko vitamins (sold at petstores)

give it some space

[2daxtream]

that setup is horrible!! aspen sheds??!! these people shouldnt make animal videos. they dont know shit

[killerbanshe3]

newspaper would be better, or paper towel. lino is ok if you clean it every week with regular spot checks.

[tiffanydisaster18]

these people are jokes..

[Beardyz]

what kinda substrate is that? you know those are for rodents right? ... stupid people.

[ryanls1992]

yea and for snakes i use it for my breeder cornsnakes

[POAGeckos]

"expertvillage" is really a place where you do NOT want to listen to them, completely wrong information they are giving out. This is the worst type of substrate to use for them.

[realityexplorations]

what should be used? i want crested geckos , what do they prefer ?

[POAGeckos]

For young cresties they should be kept on kitchen roll for they are more prone to be clumbsy when hunting and will grab pieces of substrate. If you will be feeding the gecko with CGD then you can use coconut fiber with moss, or coconut fiber with cypress mulch. You need to make sure that the cage stays moist, and use subtrates that will hold moisture.

[realityexplorations]

ok im still learning here, the best way is to know what im doing before buy i think,

what is CGD?

[Schandeman]

WARNUNG:

Dieser Bodengrund der in diesem Video verwendet wurde ist absolut UNGEEIGNET!!! Denn wenn die Tiere ihn verschluken kann er Schäden hinter lassen...

Auch für Schlangen, Vogelspinnen, Skorpionen oder andere Exoten ist er nicht geeignet.

Nur für Nagger gebrauch machen!!!

[captianbananapants]

i have no idea what that means

[Schandeman]

Warning!

this is just basic ground for rodents and not suitable for geckos and other exotic.

[reptilesuk]

hello good information

[Leogeckos18]

is it safe to leave a baby with an adult in the same cage 9 its not a really small baby though) i need to no cos i dont want my baby gettin hurt by my older female !?!?!?

[Neito665]

Does it hurt being bit by an adult ?

[LumpyGnome]

no not really it fells like a little pinch

[learnintorobot]

they dont have teeth right or do they have really tiny ones? im just womndering cuz i might be getting one n i wanna know if it will bite or gum me to death :P jks any way please help me thank you in advance.

[LumpyGnome]

honestly ive only been bite once by my leo i currently have and a few times from my previous ones.

you can fell a little teeth not much to make you bleed

[2lizards5]

my bearded dragon bites me somtimes but thats because i hand feed him and the cricet goes on the end of my finger it dnt hurt its like a lil nip

[ryanls1992]

dude get feeding tongs,they have a bacteria in they're mouths thats not really good for you

[kbamch92]

yea they have teeth but they never bite unless u really rerally agitate them. evry animal bites if u treat it bably. lol and no it won't gum u to death. these are good for beginners.

[hannahanarchy1]

I guess from the comments that this video is wrong - I need to know, I might be getting a Leopard Gecko.

[Serahdevilishly]

Okay, you really shouldnt be giving advice on keeping leopard geckos. You have them on wood shavings(deadliest to leos), and the sizes of them are much differant, leos who are not around the same size shouldnt be housed together.

[jurassicpark99]

That idiot is using WOOD shavings Leos Could die if they Ate Just one, what a noob.

[lizzardhuman]

ok can u guys write the good things to me cuz im geteing a leopard gecko .... :)

[hermitcrabluver]

[SuperSonic50003]

No.

[spinoses]

omg wtf ... thid dude is a idiot !!!

[RsPlyrtravis77]

[happytoess]

[chingpongionglong]

probably Johan Svanström (swedish)

[ReptilexD123]

can you use a usb light 4 a leopard gecko????

[jayroc12345]

u can use on but they are nocturnal so its  not required

[SniffleUK]

why have you got them on wood ??? thats not good.

[ZimZim349]

dude, thats the wrong substrate...
