My Crested Geckos Are FINALLY HOME

- My Crested Geckos (Henry and Delilah) are finally in their new homes! I built their vivariums back in March, which doesn't seem like that long ago, but it really is. I know it can be tempting to stock your enclosures immediately, but it always pays off to wait. Whether that be a bioactive vivarium or an aquarium, waiting is ALWAYS the right thing to do! In this case, I mainly wanted the plants to grow and become established. That can only happen with time/patience. Of course I also wanted the clean up to crew to become established, but more can always be added, so they're not as important in this equation.
If you want to see the original build videos for all of this and learn how to do it for yourself, check out the links below:

This video was not intended to be a full blown update on everything or a care video, so I covered very little about what goes into these vivariums. However, they are very easy to care for and the geckos seems to like them. They're live planted, bioactive (contain springtails and isopods) and 100% DIY. The enclosures measure 24x24x32”, which equates to roughly 80 gallons, but only 60 gallons of that space is usable. I keep the temperature at 81°F in the day and 76°F at night. The humidity also varies depending on when I spray the enclosures, but it fluctuates between 60-75%. I also use a 26w Exo Terra Tropical UVB bulb and a standard LED bulb from. UVB is generally not seen as a requirement when it comes to Crested Geckos, but I highly recommend it.
Also, as I expressed in the video, I think its very important to provide a lot of cover for your gecko. If you want a happy and content animal, I believe that it's an absolutes necessity. Keep in mind that the personality of the gecko will play a part in all of this, but you shouldn't bank on ending up with a gecko that feels secure with minimal coverage (some are skittish and some aren't). That said, you may get discouraged if your animal hides and you can't see them. Not to come across the wrong way, but if that's why you're keeping a gecko in the first place, then you have the wrong pet. What I mean is that you shouldn't force behavior at the expense of the animal. Provide a natural environment and receive natural behaviors or vise versa.
Anyways I figured I'd give you a little insight on these enclosures, but we'll do a proper update and in-depth look at some point in the future. Enjoy!

that is the most mature way of saying "i wanted her because she’s pretty" i’ve ever heard
I wish all captive reptiles could live like this.
i know, right??
Yeah I'm sure to an extent a lot of the aesthetics are mostly for the benefit of the owner, but I think most animals would be happier in something like this than they would in a basic enclosure with just a food dish, and a fake rock.
I was about to write the same!! ❤️
That was to Annabel Stein!!
well, i pet this geckos too, and i very much disagree with that terarium setup. But i guess everyone has his own style, and if animal is happy/healthy why not..
Why is he so wholesome? I feel so proud, like he’s my son...
Henry just straight up... licked his own eye ball. That’s so weird.
Cannowli I don’t interact with lizards or reptiles much so it was so weird to see
Your creepy
@@jackstanton_photography2494 you're*
The nutty No brainers your actually a bit creepier because you’re calling someone creepy. Creepy.
Very new to this channel. WTF it's great. Have spent hours binge watching this stuff. Hope you keep it up. Why do i want creeping fig now??
Because Creeping Fig is an awesome plant! 😎 Haha! I don't plan on stopping anytime soon so expect even more content just like this.
Forever Jim literally me right now
Your enclosures look amazing! I may need to try making my own vines. Congrats on the plaque! :D
Thanks! They're super easy and way cheaper than the commercially available vines.
Wow, two of my favourite youtubers talking. Hello :)
SerpaDesign
Hey I was wondering if Mites are bad in a terrarium. I have a bunch of them,
Will they harm the ecosystem or work with it?
love both your channels
Rafiki Of The Flock mites are bad in any case. If they are in the terrarium they might/will get to the animal.
That looks like a gecko paradise. Good job. They are going to love it in there!
So far so good! They seem very active and content. 😁
This guy is a genius. I've watched so many of his videos, I think I just might get the confidence to start a project. Some of his creations are absolutely beautiful like architecture.
Tanner, I'm so proud of you!! 100K subs! Wow!! I also want to tell you that your enclosures look better than most zoo enclosures I've seen! You really have a great talent!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it!
Jessica Landry, right?!?!?!!! 😁👍👍👍
Tanner, no problem! Thank you!!
And now in just 6 months he has 200k
Commented 11 months ago.....
You inspired me to finish a custom enclosure for my leopard gecko I started a few years ago! I'm currently waiting for it to cure, but tomorrow it'll be ready to go into his vivarium! Thank you for inspiring me to finish it; I'm sure he's going to love the new enclosure.
Both of your crested still got their tails. THAT's impressive. They're known for dropping their tail if you look at them funny. So, congrats on that. Vivariums are awesome as always.
Yeah, my girl got spooked and dropped her tail during a thunderstorm when lightning struck a tree in our backyard. Now she’s a cute little frogbutt gecko.
A testament to how much they trust Tanner.
He’s an amazing keeper!! Very gentle and such lovely set up, I was stoked when I saw those tails too, a true indication of how careful and thoughtful he is :)
my gecko is around three years old and still has his tail
Really happy for your success!!
Thank you! I do the best I can to keep it authentic and provide the best content possible.
I had to pause the video just to tell you how excited I am about your success. You inspired me to make my own terrariums and I even got my siblings into it, too. I look forward to each and every video, please never stop doing what makes you happy. Your passion shows and I'm so happy there's payoff. CONGRATS!!
Vic that is fantastic
Those cresties are living their best life!
Really funny timing I'm driving home with my first crested
Charles Hartmann brilliant timing
Wow I hope you enjoy your gecko, I got my gargoyle 3 months ago and I absolutely love her
Wow watching this when you got your hundred thousand sub plaque 2 years ago now u have almost 750 THOUSAND ..this os amazing.......was so happy to see them get in their new homes thats awesome
Your creativity and imagination is always a step above with these builds, well done.
& now you are at 1.54 million!!!!❤
DON'T STOP MAKING VIDS! YOU ARE AWESOME!
While Delilah is still scoping out her new territory from afar, Henry is right on top of it basking in the heat; that's adorable.
Haha yup! Since Henry is at least twice the age I think he's more confident in himself than she is.
Happiest geckos ever! I love that you give them as much hiding space as possible and a natural environment so they can live happy lives. And those eyelashes, wow!
Idk if people tell you, but your voice makes me feel so calm. Thank you for these videos.
If i ever get a gecko, im following by your example,
I bet they love those enclosures!
I could literally listen to him talk alllll day!!!
these are the most gorgeous crestie terrariums i have ever seen. fantastic job
I love how much he cares for his animals. Im sure they are all very happy under his care!
dude! 🤯 I love that feeding dish idea! I can't believe I've never seen or heard of that before! also love how you show how easy the jungle vines and the feeding container holder are to make thank you!
Tanner, you’re just so awesome. I love hanging out watching your videos. I’ve learned so much from you over time. I’m glad you’re on CZcams
Delilah is GORGEOUS
You are very skilled and easy to follow along with. I have loved this art style for so long but haven’t yet started to practice at. Your videos give me confidence that I could eventually make my own; and mostly because of the way that your videos are set up. They feel like a step by step demonstration at a level that I need to be able to understand a topic and Bobby. Thank you for what you do!
Amazing enclosures and beautiful geckos!! 🥰🥰🥰
You have really created some beautiful homes for your crested geckos! I'm envious of your talent. 😍
Oh my gosh... I have 2 cresties as well and that is the most beautiful setup I’ve ever seen. You are incredibly talented and deserve far more than even 100k, which is awesome and I’m proud of you. You’re probably the most down to earth and humble CZcamsrs out there, despite being so incredibly talented . People are ith common decency are getting scarce these days, so it’s definitely refreshing.I wish you the best and congratulations again! 😊
Christian Gasior are they housed together?
I came here for the Gecko Setup BUT the CZcams 100,000 award was nice to see. I didnt know they did that. Also that enclosure is awesome. Two of the best I've seen.
Henry almost looks axanthic when he's fired down and in shed. Such good looking cresties. Love geckos so much. I have 4 different age crested babies/juvies and 1 leopard gecko. The cresteds are still in tubs to grow out for a while longer. The bigger 2 that are about 7-12 months old will go in their bioactive tanks in probably a month or a little longer, just to make sure the plants have grown in and I'm also in no rush since they are doing fine in their tubs for now. The smaller 2 I have are not even the size of my pinky so they won't be going in the converted 29g for another meh... almost a year probably. I'll see how fast they grow. I may get a 10 gallon and convert it upright just to get them into a bioactive setup a bit sooner. Next project will be to get my leopard gecko a larger tank. I love watching your channel for inspiration and totally share your infatuation with ficus pumila.
Sadly my order from Josh's frogs I just got was really bad. They sent me 4 completely eaten up plants that don't even look like what they are supposed to be. So I'm hoping to get replacements from them since I can't use these plants at all. I know their quality is normally a lot better. I don't know what the person that packed my order was thinking really. Especially because the plants that were all bad were just tossed in with a 10L bag of hydroton without any buffers or care taken that they wouldn't get squished. But they are dying anyway due to parasites. Really upsetting they would send something like this to a loyal customer. I'm hoping they'll make it right, I would hate to have wasted 20 dollars plus 12 shipping 😔
The jungle vine and feeding dish is a life hack!! Thank you!
Whose watching in 2020? 614k subs now!!! He's close to the Big Million!
I like how the girl is always flared up and she’s more yellow/orange and the boy is always flared down and more white/yellow. They are like the sun (girl) and the moon (boy). :)
Nice vivarium/terrarium as always. You inspire me to make my first desert themed terrarium.
My gecks are the same way. I got one thats skittish and never fired up. And one thats chill and always fired up
Congrats on the 100k award. That’s so awesome!
You deserve it! You are truly talented!! And you care so much for the reptiles!!
The two fellows are living in their paradise.
I’ve tried twice now to make my own bio active viv. Both times the plants just didn’t grow in (once they just died and once the rotted at the root). I have one fern that survived that’s still going, and the microfauna are doing great.
You’re set ups are amazing and making me want to try again. I know my Crestie would be happier with living plants for sure.
Aww your cresties are beautiful! Females are usually more chill than males and take handling better
Inspirational. Learning so much from you and Leopard Gecko's channel. Between the two i should be on my way to a solid bio-vivarium set up for a leopard gecko. Currently got side tracked with kids obsession with frog's.we have nearly a dozen when you include the tadpoles. tough part...upkeep, feeding, and getting a set up right. Herbs. gotta love it.
Congrats for the reward!!! You deserve it
2 years later and now you’re at 600k!!! Congrats!
Can’t wait to see the play button in the aquarium that would be nice!!!
Congrats! The vivs look gorgeous !
Your dedication is brilliant sir. Keep up the amazing work
I'm so proud of you for doing so well on your channel Tanner! Thanks for all the great work!
Wow! Such beauties! I’m so glad they could go to an amazing owner like you.
Aw you're a sweetheart! Your videos are fantastic and congratulations on your CZcams button ✨🎉✨

This channel is so cool. I’m so glad I found it and so glad you made it. Thank you for sharing.
Great watching you build the enclosures and brilliant to see the geckos in them. I love that you're ok not seeing them all the time because it's best for them. I wish all reptile keepers were as humble and loving as you. 🙏🙏🙏 if you're going up keep animals captive, do it properly! Great videos man.
Hey this is so cool I want to be just like you
Such beautiful work! Your Crested Geckos are sooo cute!!
Congratulations on your award!
And thank you for being so inspiring!! Working on my first bioactive vivarium for my crested gecko!
Keep motivating people and building great enclosures!!!! Truly an inspiration!!!!
U should make a terrarium with the play button inside.😀😃
Felicidades ¡¡¡¡ Bien merecido tu reconocimiento...¡¡¡¡ Mil gracias por compartir tus trabajos ,he aprendido mucho¡¡¡¡
You really are skilled in creating! Love it!
Oh my gosh it looks so good and they’re so cute in their new enclosure
Amazing, you have a superb talent! Subscribed!
CONGRATS on the 100,000 subscribers plaque CZcams sent you that is so AWESOME. You're such a talented guy that seems to love animals and plants, and I just love watching you're videos. I used to have a green thumb and could grow just about anything but now the only plants I can keep alive are climbing vine plants...lol...keep up the awesome work and keep those videos coming. Have a WONDERFUL weekend.
I raised Iguanas, very social and entertaining too boot. I plan to get do something similar for my next one.
Wow, they're beautiful! I love your set-ups :)
those lizards are living the life.
Congrats on the 100k Play Button! You most certainly deserve it for all the great content you've uploaded. Keep up the great work!
nice. Would ever get a dart frog. You would make an awesome dart frog enclosure. Nice job one 100,000 subs.
Thanks! Maybe I already did and you didn't notice 😉
Such a beautiful home for your adorable geckos! 😍😍 Congrats on your play button! 😃
So cool! I'm always inspired to do more after watching your videos. Congrats on 100,000+!
YES. SUPER COOL my friend! Thanks for the inspiration!!
You so deserve the award, what you create is truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents with us 👍👌💖
the enclosures are beautiful!!!
Amazing work! Your vivs are so over the top. You know the various plants so well and just how to use them. I just wish I could shrink down and explore those enclosures. Congrats on 100K subs, I happily helped with that.
Love your vivariums. Congrats!
Tanners IQ is over 9000 how else could just make stuff like this
Whaaaat! Congratulations! You deserve it, and much more. You are very unique type of artist. Keep it real!
Congrats!!! You deserve it. One of the best channels on YT. Great content, tons of information and perfect delivery. Thanks to you I've turned into a mini-terrarium hoarder and I love it. 😘
I like that the vivariums are made with the animals preferences in mind and not neccecarily what is most visually appealing to humans. They look really happy in their new homes
Congratulations
(A new fan . Thank you for showing all the diy. SUPER IMPRESSIVE! AWESOME)
Beautiful they will love their new home.
Hey Serpa! You should build a lamp-ariam! Terrarium inside a clear lamp base.
On the way actually! I have all the supplies ready, but I haven't got around to it yet.
So beautiful,your cresties are going to have great lives
Beautiful enclosures.
Absolutely stunning
Absolutely enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for putting in all the hard work for our viewing pleasure!! XX-Jaimie
Wow that is a huge difference
Crazy how much growth can happen in just a few months. So worth the wait!
Great updates Serpa Dad! I think your decisions to add more plants and to allow them to establish were very wise. Delilah looks magnificent. I love how strong and colorful she is. Henry looks so pale in comparison to her but he is also awesome! I hope they are loving their new home. What will you do with their old vivs? Love the shrimp dudes in the 'terrarium inside and aquarium' aquarium.
What a wonderful video! I enjoyed it very much!!! As always you are awesome with all your creations. :-)
Always enjoyable and informative, thank you! the set ups are gorgeous, and your work is so, SO inspiring. absolutely amazing! and congrats on the award, you deserve it!
Another really great video. Thank you
