    Good video, I will say though it would be good to add what kind of soil you can use that will be safe, if you aren't doing a bioactive setup that is. Not sure what type of soils will be beneficial to the plant but won't negatively affect the animals if ingested. Also, maybe a video idea would be preparing plants to go into your geckos enclosure? the bio dude has a video on this I think but I don’t know if many people know about that guy (i didn't till I got a message from you saying it)

I only have 3 pets at the moment so I'd have time for a leo which from my research are a bit trickier to care for. They're both so cute and I don't want to own both at this point and time. It's so hard to decide 😂

    I would get some heat packs like the ones from UniHeat just in case the power goes out. If you don't already, try breeding their feeders (not sure what kind of gecko you have) so that you won't have to go to the store to buy more. Extra food for crested geckos since I think it keeps for a while. She does have a video on what to do in emergency situations when you have reptiles so perhaps look for that video. Not about the virus but it does have good information

    Hey! I know this isnt a leopard gecko video, but thank you so much for all of your helpful videos! After a long time my grandma has finally allowed me to get a leo! I might be getting one in a couple weeks :) Your videos are so informative and I can't thank you enough for making them. You take such good care of your animals and I'm sure they are thankful for it :D -MBH004

    Do you have any opinion on philodendrons for crested geckos? It sounds like they are poisonous if ingested, and some places say that's not a problem for cresties because they don't eat the plants, while others say it is a problem because they might lick water off the plant or eat an isopod that has eaten some of the plant. Do you have any experience with this variety at all?

    i think it’s better to be safe than sorry. yes, philodendrons are toxic when ingested, so i think it’s better to just stay clear of them. just in case.

    I just got a leopard gecko and Petco gave me a bunch off live crickets and said to put them all in the tank with the gecko? Doesnt sound right also carpet or sand for floor I have both if I need different I will get I'm using carpet rn because my gecko is only about 3 weeks old

    For future reference please don’t buy animals from petco. They’re a bad company to support. Definitely don’t put all the crickets in the gecko enclosure. Crickets left in the enclosure for too long will bite the gecko. They should be kept in a separate container, with a few fed to the gecko daily (less often as they get older). Don’t use carpet or sand. Quarantine any new reptile on paper towel for the first six weeks to monitor their health. Other good solids include textured tile or non-adhesive shelf liner. It’s best to offer digging enrichment over six months with reptisoil, organic top soil, or a bioactive substrate.

    I have a QUESTION unrelated to what this video is talking bout but for example if you have a tank for a leo gecko and it’s in a room that does not get a lot of sun light so Can you use 2 lights (one is red and another is just an bright light made for reptiles)but should I turn off the bright one and only leave the red light? So that way my gecko can know the daylight cycle?

  • @fionashepley478

    Red lights aren’t good for any reptile. There shouldn’t be any lights on at night. During the day you can use LED or linear UVB (if you use UVB use supplements without d3).

    SOMEONE PLS HELP my leopard gecko hasn't eaten anything except his shed since late November early December. he has no interest in food no matter what I do or try to give him. he still poos after he eats his shed and his activity levels are normal, he just refuses to eat. I can see that he's lost quite a bit of weight over the winter and I'm very worried for him. what can I do besides go to the vet (I'd have to try to find an exotics vet near me but I live in a small town) could I make a slurry and try to get it in his mouth (not shoving it down his throat)?
