Leopard Gecko Terrarium

This is my normal/ high yellow leopard gecko in his huge terrarium. He happily lives by himself as leopard geckos are primarily solitary animals (although multiple females are oftentimes kept together without any harm). He has a water dish and moist hide on the left side of his tank. His gladware moist hide is disguised by a home made styrofoam and tile grout hide. On the right side is a warm hide fashioned out of styrofoam and the same color grout. The substrate is tile for the middle and small rocks to cover the periphery. To keep the right side warm I have a under tank heater directly under the tile. Enjoy and check out my other video to see him devour a huge hornworm!

where did you get that box he was in?



[gmaier19]

@singuleristwo the box is a rubbermaid container that you can get at a grocery store.  the outer covering was made by me, out of styrofoam and tile grout.

@123leopardgeckos thanks!

@0101sk sand can cause impaction for leopard geckos, and therefore is NOT recommended. Sand is not even natural for them, as they live in areas of mostly rock and compacted clay.  also, most leopard geckos dont mind being held periodically, as they are one of the most docile and friendly lizards you can own. maybe you should check facts before you tell people how to care for their pets!

Hi :) I'm planning on getting a Leopard Gecko Soon, and I'm already thinking about the substrate I should use and all the terrarium setup.. I have already thought of using Slate Tile, However is a Heat Mat (UTH) hot enough to warm up the tiles from beneath? (I also think on using a Heat Lamp for not only the extra heat, but the difference of Day'n Night) What do you think?

I'd like to do something like this. I live in a building in NYC which gets cold at night. How do you keep the left side of the tile from getting cold at night?
