★About Professor Herp★
I started getting into the reptile hobby in February of 2018. My first reptile was my Bearded Dragon - Maxine Pegasus (creator of duel monsters btw). Since then, I have added five Yellow Ackie Monitors (Asus, Dell, LG, and two unnamed babies), a Chacoan Black and White Tegu (Frappuccino), a Crested Gecko (Destin), and a Russian Tortoise (Tortellini). I also have a dog named Thrall (yes, from World of Warcraft) who is a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix - aka a Chiweenie.
My goal with this channel is to share my knowledge, experience and journey with other reptile/animal enthusiasts and become a better caretaker because of it. Hopefully I can learn a lot from the community through these videos.

Great video. I agree with Brandon that, while this is an excellent sized enclosure, I would certainly add a few more decor items. This is specific to a display enclosure.

I would HIGHLY suggest adding more decor in your leopard gecko enclosure. They like to feel secure and that may be why she ran from side to side. They want to feel covered. Nice enclosures bro. Add a CHE for that 40 gallon

I saw you add another hide! Glad you considered it. I even use those ramp branches in mine. Love your videos man. I actually had to bring my lizards to my parents house temporarily until I move into a bigger apartment. I guess I was breaking a no pet rule?!? Just motivated me to move faster. Lol. I’ll be able to get an ackie when I do!

Dav Kaufman put out a video about Beardies and what the conditions are for them in the wild. He concluded that they usually move between two types of substrate. Sand being one of them but also a more dirt like substrate. Just thought I would mention it you might check it out if you are gonna change out the substrate in your beardie enclosure.

they are pretty important to invert eaters yes. Use tongs if you do not like to handle them.
Blue tongue skinks are very personable as well.

Juvenile beardies are fine in 40 or 50 gallons, I wouldn’t put a baby baby beardie in less than a 20. If you are getting a baby beardie, but a 40 so you don’t constantly have to upgrade
just adopted a probable german giant boi hes 26 inches in length oh yea hes a beardie

My cousin wanted a leopard gecko I fully supported her because there great starter reptiles and they don’t take up a lot of money. But then she changed her mind and wanted to get a bearded dragon and of course I support her but I think she will regret it because they are more expensive and they take up more space and time. I don’t know what to tell her. What do you think?
@ProfessorHerp
4 жыл бұрын
Think the most important is getting the reptile you are most interested in. Doesn't matter what the reptile is, if you lose enthusiasm, you won't give them the best care possible. As long as she knows this is a long term commitment and is into the species, I think either is fine.
Bearded dragons are the best thing that happens to a lizard lover😻😻🦎🦎

Leopard geckos should be kept between 86 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit so they should have a heat lamp for sure I thought watched many channels that say they need it so whats going on with that

Heat mats are the most popular. Overheard bulbs, such as Deep Heat Projectors can be used to but are not typically done so. A combo of both seems best in my opinion.
My gecko is in a 55 gallon he is 5 months old
You haven’t had the leopard gecko for a long time so maybe it’s not used to you watch leopard gecko hers scratch at the glass because they want to get out and her enclosures are big
