HUGE Leopard Gecko Tank UPGRADE!
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 07. 2024
- today the leopard gecko tank gets a huge upgrade! Kuzon is going from his 20 gallon long tank to an exo terra large low terrarium, which is the same footprint as a 40 breeder (36x18). Some may say that leopard geckos really don't need that space (or that it might even be detrimental), but for his needs and based on what I've observed, Kuzon will do just fine and utilize all the extra space I'm providing.

I've never been first reply but I am now and happy new year.. Recently my red eared slider hatched a two headed slider. I would give my life to protect it tbh
Edit: thanks for the info once again! In my opinion you have never failed at giving the most info possible and all of my animals are doing well because of you and like 3 other youtubers. But mostly you
I have a question and I figured replying directly to your comment might have a better chance of getting a response. Since you really seem like you what you’re doing (based on the research I’ve done), I’m thinking of getting a leopard gecko so here’s my question- since you give him a little container of calcium, do you still dust his food (whatever insects you feed) with calcium too? (I’m also sorry if you’ve answered this in another video, this is the first video I’ve seen of yours but also a new subscriber!!) Great work! 💞
I want a leopard gecko sooo bad. Edit: I got a gecko!
Tyler Skates yay!!! Hope u enjoy him/her 😊
I love him, he’s happy and healthy :). His name is Gibby
Tyler Skates 💗
Nice
Adilin Slotke he’s great. He’s a sweet little guy with a great personality.
In the wild, they have a whole world at their disposal. Well said 👏👏👏
Yay, love all the space and new hides he has! My gecko doesn't really explore all that much, but maybe she'll change her mind when the seasons change.
I love how in the back round at 2.00 the turtle is like " LOOK AT MEH"! XD
Magnatural shelves are awesome also! My geckos use them ALL the time, mine have large lows also and utilize ALL the space! More cork rounds that he can crawl into and Flukers reptile plants strewn around the setup work well! Congrats little Kuzo!
Yayyy I love kuzon content. Might be a little bias cause I have one :). Also getting my dream reptile a bearded dragon this Sunday! Love your vids
Good luck with your beardie!
My beardie died 2 days ago at 4 she was healthy 😭
Yay new tank!! BTW I love the feeding at the end of the vid!
Don’t mind me just binge watching your gecko videos lol
Nice, I like the way that tank looks and your gecko seems to enjoy it. Is that tank able to be used for shallow water paludariums?
i thought it was going to be extremely crowded before you showed an up close ! he has so much room, so cute 🥺
great video. love the upgraded tank. thank you for sharing. peace love and blessings!
i love the leopard gecko content keep it going!!
just wonderful! I think he is going to enjoy for sure!
Fantastic choice!!!
Hey you might have tried this or heard of it but I love my wyze camera for my Leo. It is a 30 dollar waterproof camera on Amazon and it is amazing to see my gecko explore at night with the night mode and maybe you could do a video about it and play around with the camera! Btw I love your videos and you are the main reason I have my little girl today so thank you.
I like the way you beautify your canal, it is very cute and adorable, especially with reptiles !!! My favorites are leopard gecko and Axolotl. Good luck watching!
I've seen your last leopard gecko one your the best lizard keeper
Hey, just wondering how you hold up the basking lights for your turtles! Happy new year!
Love what you do! Thank you
Just found your channel Was looking to do tile like that not shure to go about it though
I agree with going big like in the wild but in the wild thay find small places that make them feel safe so a bigger enclosure isn’t always better but for a bigger gecko it’s ok or a pair
i want a leopard geckoooo!! they are so cuteee!💜
they're awesome!
if you dont mind me asking, what kind of lighting do you use for your leopard gecko? ive been needing to get a new light and i don't know what to get.
Thanks I love your videos and you always give me great advice for my turtle andy
Looks good :) My son keeps going back and forth between leopard gecko and bearded dragon.
I like the layout of the enclosure
love the new enclosure
Well said! I honestly think an enclosure can’t be “too big” because they all came from the wild at one point and that’s endless space and they thrive pretty well there.
Also as far as the tank goes it looks great! The only thing I would add is maybe switch out the cork bark for some slate layered so some is slanted to climb as it holds heat and is nice for them. Love the tank though, great gecko mom!
I’m planing on getting a 6 month - 1 year old gecko and my dad surprised me with a 114cm vivarium and I was a lil worried it be too big after searching on the internet so this has really reassured me that the vivarium is the best choice
I'm glad! happy to hear that your gecko will have lots of space :)
hey, do you put salt in your diamondback terrapins tank? I want to get one, and want to make sure i take care of the water properly, i must have missed it, if you and Dan use salt, and if you do how much and where is best/cheapest place to get some?
I'm curious what shelf you have your tanks on?
The tank looks so prettyy 💕 if you were to put the probe on top of the substrate then you’d see how the temperature is for your gecko, it will seem a little hotter than it actually is. (Just a suggestion)
What a luck little Gecko! That looks great!
thank you!
So cute gecko 🥰😍😘🙋♀️
I love you and Kuzon!
Nice 👍
Saw the title and this is me clicking so fast 🏃🏼♀️ 💨
Love how you're repping PNW!
First! I am a big fan and love your videos! So excited to watch this!
Hi turtle girl can you tell us what size is that enclosure and where we can get it.
Hey! So is the vinyl flooring like a roll of it?? Or literally like the thicker strips of flooring??? Because o have flooring from when we did the bathroom but then I was like the heater might not reach through it?
By any chance are you able to make a video of you cleaning and re doing his moist hide?
Hey Hun, what placement is your heat mat? Inside the tank or out? What type of lighting do you use? How do you get it humid in there ?
You should definitely get another gecko :) Crested or Leopard
Nice video my Leo is in a 29 gallon bioactice
Hey, where did you get your log hide on the cool side of the tank?
I have a leopard gecko who is an albino his name is Dune. His a baby so he is in a 10 gallon.
same
Yeah mine is named vega
same here lol
I have 4 leopard geckos
Would just a Hera pad work for heating then have natural light for the lighting
What light do you have attached to the too
Love what you do🎉
Hey! Can somebody inform me on vinyl tile for leopard geckos? I want to switch mine to that but I want to know if the heating pad or lamp can overheat the tiles!
Very nice tank you made!! It's just a question but arent you supposed to use some kinda soil? Just a question though 😁 i own a leopard gecko for about a year now and i really love those creatures, they are so cute and funny 😁 the only thing that's sad is mine is not that much of cuddler, she likes to be let alone.
Would the 24x18x12 be good enough as well, or is this the best to get?? I’m new to reptiles and want everything to be comfortable for my future leopard gecko):
Looks good hun.
I have a humid hide like your jar idea with moss inside my gecko libby loves to poo in it lol is this usual? X
I was looking through the comments and noticed no one ever responded to you, I would say yes that's normal as leopard geckos have a "pooping spot" that's one spot they like to poo, maybe just move where the jar is in the tank and it'll stop doing its business in it
I have a painted turtle in a 20 gallon because that’s the biggest I can go is that bad do I need to go bigger
Epic new vid
Does the flooring vinyl hold help with humidity well??
Almost 30k!!!
Where did you get your shelves? I really need one
It will be really good if you added real wood and leaves (just a recommendation)
True
Can you send a link to where you bought that from?
where did you get the shelves???
Where did u get the flooring viynl
How did you get kuzan to first start coming on to your hand to be handled? I've had my leo for about a week and want to start handling it, but how do I get her out if she likes to stay in her warm hide? Is it frowned upon to pick up their hide, since you want that to be their safe place?
I wouldn’t during the day or late at night, but if you could during around dawn/dusk times when they are more active that would be better. Let it get used to your hand. I realize this is a bit late but yeah, I’d say it’s okay. Just watch for signs of stress.
@@alsktch755 yeah, I've figured it out now, but I appreciate the help
I so want one to get one of this guys and give the gecko that same terrarium
What uvb light do you use for Kuzon and do you still supplement d3 along with the light?
Im not sure what UVB she uses but if you use a UVB light you do not need D3 supplements
I agree with everything you said
I love you turtle girl!🐢🦎🐸
Omg u like it thanks ur the best i never thought u would never notice me
What is that light your using on his tank?
Hi! I’m a big fan!! I have a leopard gecko named toothless I have had him since December 26 and rn it’s aug 29. I was wondering when is the average time would be be full grown and is 20 gal enough? (Ps I love ur vids sm!!!) 💗
Welcome to the channel and welcome back to the channel
Hay 🙂you should think about getting a dig box . My gecko loves to dig
I have a little guy who is currently inside of a 20 gallon but I’m upgrading him to a 55 gallon
what light is on your tank
I’m grttting one tdyyyy
I love Kuzon, if that is how you spell it. Kuzon is so cute when he eats dubia roaches. His face is so adorable.
haha he really is a charmer!
and yes, you spelled his name right ;)
@@TheTurtleGirl oh my gosh, thanks for replying, I'm am especially happy that I spelled kuzon's name right
Turtle boi i saw him start walking when she was talking about his hot hide, it was so cute when he walks because i’ve never really paid any attention to how Leopard Geckos walk
I just upgraded my leopard gecko Crispy to a 40 gallon long for my birthday :)!!!!!
i got a a 40 gallon tank for my beautiful mack snow!
if he likes to explore he may like some eco earth to dig I have two in a 40 gallon and they dig burrows
Hey Turtle Girl when did you decide to upgrade your gecko? I want to know when I should upgrade mine. Love your content by the way.
Can i use a vinyl tile for substrate?
They should have a suitable loose substrate for digging enrichment. Good options include zoo med’s reptisoil, a mix that’s 60% top/potting soil and 40% playsand (or a soil/sand/clay mix), Arcadia earth mix arid, or Terra Sahara from the bio dude.
Please add sole on the flour of the tank and rise the other stuff up
Makes me want another gecko.
I have a 65 gallon for my leo!!
Can you also do a video on the difference between male and female turtles?
Staple plastic straws to the walls in the background of your video so people don’t think your a VSCO girl
💀💀💀
What reptile should I get?
I want something exciting that is active.
I already have a bearded dragon.
Jake Skowronski Get a leo. They aren’t that hard to take care of but they are normally active at dawn and dusk due to them being crepuscular but they are still great pets to keep! Remember to research before you buy though!
So cuttteeee 😘😘
Nice set up. I am gonna buy new tanks for my geckos tho.
sweet!
How do you control the humidity in his tank? I moved from a much drier climate to a humid one & brought my gecko with me. Now I have a really hard time keeping the humidity % at an optimal level
Haley Love you can try adding a bag of rice, it may soak up the water.
autumn it’s stays around 60-70% he doesn’t seem bothered but I know that’s not what he needs to thrive. I tried buying the Eva-Dry dehumidifier but it doesn’t help at all.
@@haleylove111 Leopard gecko's only need humidity of 30-40%
I wish i had a leo, but i already have 4 cresties and 2 eggs that are about to hatch so i don’t have space right now😔
Echo Roks please be grateful tho I can’t get any reptile even with my own money
My sister is getting one
I have one named pancho, he lives peacefully in his 10gallon
I have a African side-Neck turtle do you have any advice he is about 6’’ and he won’t eat
If you just got him recently and he's not eating, you might just need to give him more time to settle in. You can also check out this vid I did on turtles refusing food -> czcams.com/video/45gJ-4sLxoM/video.html
He may feel scared. Try to see if there is anything that makes him nervous.
Try live shrimp
good news..!
I have a red eared slider and she is named taco. She has a 4 inch shell and is currently in a 20 gallon tank. The problem is that I have a very low budget. Do you have any advice for me?
The dollar per gallon sale can save you some money, also checking craigslist/offerup in your area :)
Oh and what is the dollar per gallon sale?
Oh and in some of your videos you said you were in Washington do you remember snowmaggedon last febuary?
You should get him s swing, I kid you not, they enjoy swinging
I keep my in a 10 gallon but he is just a juvenile I’ve been told I can keep him in there for life is dis true or false
Ysj Ofnn adult leopard geckos need at least a 20 gallon tank :)
