How to set up a Leopard gecko viv - Revisited

since nobody seemed to think my last leo viv video was correct, i have made a new version, of the "correct" (there is no correct) way to do things, enjoy

Are you related to xefpaterson

[ErikPaterson]

@Joeink100 Nope & I have no idea who that is either :)

[ErikPaterson]

Would the 'experts' who watch this video care to detail where exactly you feel I am 'wrong' or abusing my animals? And give me evidence of HOW I am wrong.

i.e. 'The viv is too small because it's at least double the length of the inhabitant and at least 1.5x it's length in width, the standardized measurements for a lizards enclosure.'

Thanks.

news paper is roung when the gecko goes in his water and comes out wet the ink in the paper starts to damage its skin when wet and will kill

Sand is fine but to be safe just take them out to a different tank to eat so there is less LESS risk of impaction.

@alicia no the heat mat shouldn't get that hot

[Madaboutspirit]

One questoin : ) DONT WORRY ITS NOT ABOUT ABUSE :L just wondering i live in england and tbh the heat over here is a little poop, and i have a glass viv, but my heat mat only gets up to about 30degrees (its ohnly small), do you think if i was going to get a gecko it would be better in a plastic viv so that the heat can get through better??

Would a heatmat melt the plastic on a faunarium/vivarium?

[DISTR1CT]

why has everyone got like a plastic thing, i've got a glass one 23gallons, is this ok?

@Warrior7885 Thank you for the kind comments - Much appreciate having someone with the capabilities of independant thought commenting on the matter.

I am aware the enclosure is the bare minimum for the gecko but it serves it's purpose for the video.

As you'll be aware it's a 'how to' guide not a 'this is what you should do or else!!' set of rules...
