We've been looking at SO MANY options for rack systems and none of them seemed to be "just right". The idea of buying each enclosure individually and creating a customized rack is exactly what we've been looking for. Thanks for posting this! It's going to make things so much easier! Since my 14 year old is sort of self funding all of his breeding projects, saving up the money to buy a rack was stressing him out LOL!
That gutter lining tip was golden for babies. I’ve been thinking about what to use in their small tanks that wouldn’t take up the whole thing 👍🏻 I’ll be using that for all the babies I breed in the future on my channel. Thanks! Great video!
Thanks for all the info. Love that if you need to sort, you can pull one out and move where ever also. No need to adjust selves or anything. One fits all. Females to one side males to the other, or sort by future pairing. Pretty awesome. I’m having trouble getting my young one to eat on its own. Great that I can make sure it eats, but I’ve tried to let it do it’s natural search and it never eats.
Looks great man🔥I've always wondered how breeders of New Caledonian gecko's kept such quantities, Optimal setup for you and the gecko's. I'll keep this bookmarked for future projects👀
That’s an awesome set up. I like the whole rack looking system. You don’t have a video going to more detail about the rack where the tubs are in? That would be great to see too.
Can you have a bio active tank for breeding geckos? Bc I’m scared that the springtails and isopods might try and eat the eggs if I don’t catch them in time. Is that a thing?
great setup if your in a warm climate. I'd love to do it this way in the UK but Temperatures from say Nov to March are just too cold and with the crazy gas and electric rates here right now it would cost so much to have the radiators on keeping the room at say 24c
I currently only have two juvenile cresties that I'm raising up, and I'm planning on keeping both of them in their own 18x18x24 bioactive enclosures. I would love to keep all my future geckos like this, but I'm hoping to get into breeding more and have really realized that it isn't really practical (or possible). I love these containers and how they stack so nicely. I'll definitely get some in the next few years when I start diving more into breeding.
Online I have done research and everything I am finding says that 18x18x24 is the recommended size for and adult crested gecko. Have you had issues with stunted growth or stressed/unhappy adult geckos in the 12x12x18? Great video btw, super useful for my current setup to see how to accommodate them with less vertical enclosures.
By chance are you able to post an updated link on where you get the tubs? It keeps saying the page is no longer available. Looking at it for my own cresties and weighing all of my options for this coming breeding season.
Hey Robby cool videos I have gargoyle geckos the male that’s 45grams but a female that’s 68. Full adults I’ve never bred them with this big of a weight difference is this ok to breed them
I would supervise! A 45 gram male in crested geckos I have found can kinda handle anything. But I know gargoyles get bigger so do not take my word for it and ask gargoyle breeders :)
Hey Robby! I used this idea and it is great . I just noticed some of the geckos hanging in the front of the container more often by the vents. Do you think the humidity is to high in there?
Hello!! I been watching your videos and they are awesome!!! Your older setup video says to use cork bark as a rough surface to shed. I'm curious in this setup what are they using to shed? The pool noodles?
@@robbysreptiles makes total sense. A couple more questions. Which thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate it!! Are you using anything to keep track of your humidity? Or do you have enough experience you don't need a humidity gauge? Do you add a humid hide to all enclosures? I plan to start small. Maybe get a pair or trio to start with. So I just want to make sure I give myself a chance at success and the animal is comfortable. Thanks Robby!!
@@sibleywarrior07 I do not keep track of humidity, I check on my collection daily and just know what my environment needs. All females have a lay box and some males enjoy having them to hide in. It is duel purpose as a humid hide i guess
@@robbysreptiles thank you so much for the advice. I was deciding between Leopard and Crested Geckos. But, I think it's settled. I'm going to try Crested geckos to start. I'll take my time doing more research before I start anything and/or purchase any geckos. Thanks again!! The advice and knowledge is appreciated.
I know you touched on it, but I wouldn't recommend anything under 10 grams in the container store bins. They're able to climb over the top when the bin is closed and get under the bin, happened pretty often until I gave up and went back to exo terras for babies. Other than that all of my geckos have been thriving after swapping to this setup!
What brand of drawers do you have there? Been looking for the right brand Edit: you briefly went over what you have but could you provide a link to the exact tubs you got there? Scrolling and searching for those exact bins is a pain
Males and females can cohabitation if you have lots of space and visual barriers. Breeding seasons usually last like 6-8 months but I've had some females lay 10 clutches before or more
This probably seems like a silly question that many people have already asked you, but I was wondering if with this system, is it possible that the gecko is attached to the top of the drawer and when you pull it out you hurt it?
Hey Robby~ Would it be alright to use smaller self-enclosed gecko tubs like the juvenile and adult enclosures for hatchlings? And if so, what size would you recommend for the tubs?
I have two of these tubs! I love them but they start to smell awful really fast even when I change out paper towels? Do you have any tips or have you had experience with this issue?
Multiple times a year they are 25% off. An exotic Terra of the same size is 120 or so. And if you buy cheap tubs of this size for 15 a piece they are not self contained nor self stacking

Honey and blend bugs into its food!
Remind Me to ask u on our next live, how sturdy these tubs are and how many high you can go 😁😁
I'm at 8 high
Great info in here! Thank you my dude!
Think I may get a few of these, thank you for making this vid!
That's my job :)

I will in the future, just a basic pvc rack system with 6qt sterilite tubs

Absolutely none. I find my adults thrive in a 12x12x18, and only if they're 45g or more. Under that they even benefit from slightly smaller
@@robbysreptiles oh ok awesome. Thank you so much for that. Have a great day and thanks for the quick reply😁

Just go to the container store and look up "Like It Stackable drawers"

@@robbysreptiles thanks bro usually my geckos are 55-60 as far as females I think she may be gravid with duds right now
What type of heating do they need?
Room temperature :)
How do you get these to shut properly. All mine seem to have gaps up top.
I'm not sure what you mean, just push them in all the way
Have you ever had an issue trying to slide open the enclosures and having a gecko on the roof of the tub? Like any caught tails or snipped toes?
Nope!
I know you said the smaller tubs are 8" tall but I'm only seeing 6" tall on the link you shared.
Probably just misspoke. OR linked the wrong tub
Gaw dang, you sound like you know what you're talking about. Roe-bees Reptiles at it again!
Hey Robby! I used this idea and it is great . I just noticed some of the geckos hanging in the front of the container more often by the vents. Do you think the humidity is to high in there?
Nah mine climb on the vent too
@@robbysreptiles ok thank you!!!
The container links don't go to these anymore. I'm guessing they don't sell these anymore?
They still do the links just constantly stop working
Hello!!
I been watching your videos and they are awesome!!! Your older setup video says to use cork bark as a rough surface to shed.
I'm curious in this setup what are they using to shed? The pool noodles?
Yes the pool noodles work pretty well too. I've had 0 issues with shedding and so much less mold
@@robbysreptiles makes total sense.
A couple more questions. Which thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate it!!
Are you using anything to keep track of your humidity? Or do you have enough experience you don't need a humidity gauge?

do you remember the brand name for the stack able drawers? the link you posted it dead and doesnt show any product. thanks!
Like it stackable drawers
@@robbysreptiles thanks you sir! im just starting my breeding endeavor and your videos have helped me a lot!
Do u have a video how u set up your heating system and how much heat u need to keep them alive I am new to Crystal gecko and I want to get one
They don't need heat! Just room temp!
So u don't have heat tape under the tubs then?
No!
How many geckos do you keep in the adult bins when breeding?
If it's a great male breeder 1 male to 2 females. Usually just pairs for breeding adults for a few days at a time. But I always keep them seperate
I know you touched on it, but I wouldn't recommend anything under 10 grams in the container store bins. They're able to climb over the top when the bin is closed and get under the bin, happened pretty often until I gave up and went back to exo terras for babies. Other than that all of my geckos have been thriving after swapping to this setup!
Yes, I am testing some new bins I found for 10g ones
@@robbysreptiles how did the tests on new bins for babies go? Any links for them?
Hello! How do you keep your geckos heated in your tub setup?
They don't need heat
What brand of drawers do you have there? Been looking for the right brand
Edit: you briefly went over what you have but could you provide a link to the exact tubs you got there? Scrolling and searching for those exact bins is a pain
I will pin a comment with the exact link to them thank you for reminding me
How do you heat the tubs? Or is the room heated?
Room heated
How many months would you recommend for breeding season? And is it possible to keep pairs together and not separate them life long?
Males and females can cohabitation if you have lots of space and visual barriers. Breeding seasons usually last like 6-8 months but I've had some females lay 10 clutches before or more
hey i got these tubs and when i pull them out they sag a good bit any advice on how to make it sag less?
Sag? Just don't pull them out all the way
Is it ok if the paper towels are soaked from misting?
Yes but not like puddle sif water. You want it to be damp for only a few hours. I have fans in my facility that help dry it out
This probably seems like a silly question that many people have already asked you, but I was wondering if with this system, is it possible that the gecko is attached to the top of the drawer and when you pull it out you hurt it?
I have never had this happen in 3 years of using them. Most cresties stay on the floor
@@robbysreptiles thank you for the answer, probably they just don't like to be upside down.
Hey Robby~ Would it be alright to use smaller self-enclosed gecko tubs like the juvenile and adult enclosures for hatchlings? And if so, what size would you recommend for the tubs?
I would only reccomend 6qt tubs
@@robbysreptiles Thank you!

Clean with simple green and improve your ventilation
@@robbysreptiles thank you!
Hi Robby, do you have aggressive geckos that bite you a lot? Especially in mating season.
Yes, this is normal with some males. Luckily they couldn't hurt you even if they tried
What planta are you using
Hobby lobby
What dimensions are you using
12x12x18
Do you buy the plant's in bulk too?
I buy fake Ines at hobby lobby
i think you caused a demand. theyre impossible to get now haha
Fuck yes lol
$40 each is such a sin for these
Lol K
@@robbysreptilesbrotha I’m just being honest. A case of 5 should be $60.
I already don't like it, I never have to clean my bioactive setups. 👎
If you wanted this could be bioactive as well, but there isn't just one right way to keep this species so its fair game whatever works best for you
Dude, these are $40 each! That's not a deal!
