Leopard Gecko Moves In To 80 Gallon Bioactive Tank | FIRST WEEK
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
I documented the first week of my Leopard Gecko adjusting to his new 3 x 2 x 2 ft, 80 gallon, bioactive vivarium! He had to get used to a new room, new tank, new heater, live plants and an LED on throughout the day. HELPFUL LINKS BELOW! 😊

brember I would look to see if there are any reptile conventions near you ! Or any reptile shops !
Just a heads up, since filming I have linked the LED and UV up and they now come on at the same time. At the moment they come on for about 9 hours a day, this may increase to 10-12 hours in the future. :)

I used your channel to get info on how to care for a leopard gecko. He is very healthy and now about 10 inches in length!
Shows even completely tame geckos get startled and instinct takes over. You forget how fast they can be until they get spooked then they are greased lightning! They never seem to lose the notion that one day you may decide to eat them...
I love how much she cares
Very cool! Thank you for sharing. I like that there is a lot more space and potential with bigger plants and decor.
Go Diego go! He looks so happy, you've done a really nice job on his tank!

Looks great and Diego is settling in well. Amazing speed he has developed there. The increased energy is impacting him. weeks 2 and 3 will see a return to open basking as he sets up his territory. Keep in mind that this is a very territorial species with complex tunnel networks in the wild. A change of home, means a change of territory. Its all looking great so far!

Loving the video! I really like these moving in videos, because for some reason, I just love seeing the geckos naturally run around.
You spoil your animals so much and that’s a good thing 😊 and your leopard geckos definitely deserve the huge amount of space you give them :) Love your vids!!!🥰
Good to see that an established gecko you’ve owned for awhile is a bit timid moving into a new enclosure. I just got an adult leopard for the first time and he’s been very shy for the first week, almost always hiding when I see him. He’s been eating though.
ahhh i love that for him!!!
hope Diego enjoys his big boy tank! I just got my baby leo he loves his warm hide and is a big fan of dinner time! thank you so much for this channel I've seen so many people recommend it and am a big fan myself. my Leo ate 4 buggos on his first day with me and doesn't arch his back when I fill his water bowl anymore. he seems to be loving his warm hide which is the Flukers castle crib definitely a good hide lots of room and he LOVES it! thank you for this truly amazing channel keep loving your Leo's!
I absolutely adore your channel! And because of you, my Leo enjoys being handled by me now. Diego is such a cutie
Looks amazing
Oh my gosh I wasn’t notified again I was worried because I thought you didn’t post but I checked to make sure and you did!! Diego is looking like he is enjoying his new tank!!
You helped me so much with my gecko thank you!!!and great tank🦎❤🙌

Hi leopard gecko you’ve helped me so much you made me want a Leo I’ve had mine about 3 months and I named her phoebe thanks for being you bye
Mine has been running away too. I do sit with the door open every night and she will come out but no way to touch her and she seems to think EVERTHING is a threat in her cage. She is tail wagging and inspecting like some thing is going to jump out and eat her. Lol poor thing. She is 18 and us old things don't trust easy in our older years. But I do want to say I love all that we do for our pets with good instruction from this young lady
I will probably get that decor kit soon as I want to re-do my leopard gecko (ziggy's) tank as I think it would be nice. Nice tank btw

I have you ever consider to turn of the heating at night? It’s the most natural for your geckos. Mine go down to 18 degrees Celsius in winter nights and be perfectly fine when the heat turns back on
@Noah-id1ce

I agree! In their Natural Habitat the temperatures go down to about 20 degrees Celsius during night and it‘s best to simulate that in their tank.
@GuilhermeOliveira-vs7uh

Noah it actually gets down to 10 degrees Celsius in the winter nights and up to 45 degrees during the summer months but the burrows that they live maintain a stable temperature and there is no need to replicate such extreme temperatures
@leopardgeckotalk

Yeah I have wondered about it. Maybe there will be a thermostat that can be dimmed at night (like you could set it without doing it manually). However because the tank is so big, the other side of the tank is cooler, and so I wonder if that counts? lol

Leopard Gecko I think there are some. Though I don’t believe that the cold would hurt since the rocks maintain the heat of the day I personally just turn it all off and my house gets pretty cold during the winter (not like American people that heat their houses year round)

0 dislikes. And that's how it should be! Great video!

I was lowkey hoping he was going to get really chunky like Diego but he isn't 😅 I still love him though
Such an amazing tank! I wish I had the space for one like this for my girl. Fun story, her name is also Diego!

Leopard Gecko Also: Something you Should know, is that the Terrarium size we‘re talking about as huge and very spacious is actually the minimum space requirements for 1-2 leopard geckos by law in my country. Mine actually use all the space provided, and even though they have 9 hides in total, they really prefer 2 XD
You should do a video on your take on the Hikari Leopa Gel and leopard gecko prepared foods more generally. I tried it with my gecko and he liked it but they seem pretty controversial so it would be interesting to get your view on them, especially since more people are using prepared food for herps during the lockdown period.

The tank looks very nice i like it a lot! the hiding could also be because of the LED light. for what i read do reptiles see the LED light different than we do (more like turquoise) wich can be uncomfortable for them. i only use an LED light for the one gecko that is strictly nocturnal an never comes out during the day.

LED lights are perfectly fine for reptiles.
I was handed a leopard gecko in a jar (found in an elderly neighbor's garden) and I'm building a home for it from scratch, while also in lock-down, and hadn't budgeted for this. If you were to start right now with nothing- what would you do to create a home? How much should I plan on spending? (We did have him checked by a vet, he is fine, just a few scratches, and had a few poor sheds/toe issues- all are resolving and it looks like we are going to have this juvenile guy for many years. We also tried to find the original owner, but no luck). Your videos have been SO helpful!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
