[sueygurl1962]

i think your dragon needs some calcium because i dont think her arm is supposed to be like that

[boxer94]

Hello i getting a leoparrd gecko and i am using calci sand will thast be ok and can i have some tips on how to look after a gecko

[xxArcticWolf13Xx]

NEVER NEVER USE sand with a gecko thats the number 1 way to kill them and some tips get a book and read it! dont get a animal without doing research. If your a caring owner ull listen to me.

[WeWillNotRockYou1]

Lol. I use sand for my Leopard gecko and my beardie.......No trouble......but. Its just when they are little they cant have sand....Myn got impaction..Survived :D

But the Pet shop told me i had 1 male and a female beardie. it was 2 males. One male literaly.......Clamped the others head down! Couldnt do anything :( had ta kill it.....

[THEEEMOMELON]

sue the store

[WeWillNotRockYou1]

could i?

[THEEEMOMELON]

think so, beardies arent exactly cheap and cuz of their mistake/false advertizement 1 of them is dead

[herpcrazydude95]

@xxArcticWolf13Xx you can use sand for adults but boxer94 don't use the calci sand as a substitute for your vitamin dust

[b8guyz]

4 year old bearded dragon sheding my one is 2 and a half and hasent shed in a long time o and check out my bearded dragon set up and tell me wat u think

[johnnymitchellpyt]

you should get a basking spot for your beardie and a hide

[ErikPaterson]

it has both a hide and a baskign spot now, i had only just got it and that was the setup it came with.

[funnyun]

you have four water dragons in this vid and only two in your recent vids idk i just noticed it

[HappySaylor]

he sold the others

[2007dre]

them boxes you keep your geckos in are too small !

lol only jokin

nice setups, love the water dragons

[mady5587]

wot do u mea by a tile?

[ErikPaterson]

you can buy a non-porous tile from garnde centres and use those for the viv substrate

[cornsnakeking]

i use the same timers did u get it for £3

[ErikPaterson]

i dont remember, i got them years ago

[anoleguy]

erik do you live at home

[ErikPaterson]

most people live at home yes :P

if you mean do i live with my parents, inbdeed i do, well... my mum anyways

[eatingfetus]

Pretty arrangements!! Why are the leopard geckos in such small plastic containers? Where is their heat source?

[ErikPaterson]

the platic containers are 18 inches by 12 inches, and that is because they were juveniles

it is an underfloor heat mat thermostatically controlled

[spicehead2k7]

wear u get those antler things in ur wd cage ?

[ErikPaterson]

i got them from an animal shelter when i was 5, the deet shed them himself and my dad bought me them,i dont think he ever imagined them making attractive decor in a water dragon viv haha

[keithandsilvia]

[SpecialOpsSniper12]

[ErikPaterson]

local pet store stocks them, it is one of the aqua pac hobbyist range.

[HappySaylor]

hu is nicola wylie

[ErikPaterson]

a lass in my school that hassled me for 4 hyears to name something after her, i caved and hence wylie

[HappySaylor]

how oold are the baby leos?

[ErikPaterson]

not sure, the oldest are probably coming on for a year

[HappySaylor]

but they're about the size of my baby gecko and he's only 2 months

[ErikPaterson]

mine are all bigger than 5 inches, except for uri, weii and sol are nearly 8 inches

[RobboTheGordie]

my leopard gecko just shed but it took only a few hours is that normal??

[ErikPaterson]

so long as it has all its skin off, i wouldnt worry

[Snakess4life]

Damn dude Nice setups dude

[leopardgeckoking444]

i am getting a beardie for xmas and i was wondering is a 65 gallon big enough for 1? thanks erik

[Snakess4life]

65 is real good

my bro had one and he had a 40 so 65 is good

like a friggin masion

[leopardgeckoking444]

thnxs =]

[berniebay]

I'm also wondering where and how much you bought those vivs for, the one for the beardie at least, I assume it comes with UTH and the UV and basking lights?

[ErikPaterson]

no the viv came with the beardie, it came with the UTH & Lighting, but when you buy new you only get the viv, it is an aquapac hobbyist range viv. The person i bught it from bought it from a pet shop

[berniebay]

I have a feeling you breed crickets and mealworms?

[ErikPaterson]

lol no, i do it the expensive way lol, but i really should start thinking about it lol

Erik

[h8er4eva]

i keep my bp in the same kind of box thing u keep ur house snakes in lol it is great for moisture

[ErikPaterson]

yea, they are very good

[coolerthanyou19]

can u list all the animals u have?

[ErikPaterson]

male.female.unknown

2.2.o Chinese water dragon

0.1.0 beardie

1.3.1 leopard gecko

0.2.0 African house snake

0.1.0 Marbled newt

and that is all i believe

[reptilekid45]

what would be the best viv for two baby leopard geckos 24" or a 36"

[ErikPaterson]

well, as adults the 2 together would need a 36", so to save money i reckon the 36" is much better

[coolerthanyou19]

how big is that setup for the water dragon?

[ErikPaterson]

6 feet long, 2 feet deep and 4 feet tall

[coolerthanyou19]

can they stay in somethign that size theyre whole lives?

[ErikPaterson]

yes

[julessabourin17]

Them Boxes With The Snakes In Are They Special Repti Ones Or Can U Use Just Normal Ones And Punch Holes In. lol y did u squeeze the light bulb. how do u know the leos sex? sand is good for beardies + What Heating Are you useing for the baby loes

[ErikPaterson]

they are reallyusefulboxes with holes drilled in the lid, i squeezed the light bulb whilst removing it from a socket, and i am able to tell by seeing pre-anal pores & hemipenile bulges, thats your opinion, and heat mats on thermostats

[HappySaylor]

lol kk so the snake things are just containers not special reptile ones

[HappySaylor]

lol kk so the snake things are just containers not special reptile ones ?

[ErikPaterson]

nope

[HappySaylor]
