I've decided to just go for it. This Video was extremely helpful.
Good stuff here, but I have a question please - I thought that Leos needed multiple hides? I saw that your males have two hides, but don't the females/babies also need multiple hides? Thank you. Nice videos.
so why a calcium bowl? will they eat the calcium powder just from that dish why not dust the mealworms with the calcium? kind regards :)
I do dust the mealworms with calcium and vitamins. The extra calcium bowl gets licked by them too. Some more than others and especially babies.
Love the template for holes/humidity ventilation
👍👍👍
How do you feel about the ve7 rack? Also are these 11qt tubs bigger in floor space than say a 12 qt shoe box?
I can’t afford racks lol I’m just stacking tubs until I run out of room. I’m working on building a couple though hopefully. Love your videos! ❤
EDIT: damn I’ve been buying a bunch of 28 quarts for my males and females because people told me I just HAD to put them in 28 quarts lol
Thanks. Do what works best for you. 👍
Feel free to start showing the geckos man I’m ready I wanna see my Leo’s parents!!!!!
I’m ready too!!!
Whered u get the 11qt tubs for adult females?
You the man G
Found it?
"I love your setup! Did you add fake leaves and other enrichment items? I've provided my gecko with similar items and they love it! I also keep my geckos in larger enclosures. Females have 2 feet of space, males have three, and babies have 7-inch tubs that are 2 feet long and 6 inches high. I understand that this may not be possible for everyone, but adding a simple fake plant to each tub is a great way to provide mental stimulation for your gecko!”
👍👍👍
Why do you have male geckos in larger tubs then females?
Males tend to be bigger and when we breed, we put females in male tubs.
I'm curious as to why the Geckos don't eat the small vermiculite stones. Do they just know since they get enough adequate minerals?
They are really only interested in eating live insects. Occasionally while hunting they may grab some substrate, but it’s not harmful.
How do you look for those boxes? do they have a special name? I ask about the size, it is uncommon
Which boxes?
@@LunaGeckos plastic boxes for Geckos (the medium and small size)
Oh the actual tubs? They are specific for the VE-6 rack systems. We buy them at www.ReptilesBasics.com.
@@LunaGeckos thanks (:
Would you mind letting me know the inner bottom dimensions on the male tubs, there the VE 108-23 tub.
Inside bottom approx 12.25x19.5 inches. External dimensions are on Reptile Basics website.
I can’t find those tubs
ReptileBasics.com
Uncle it seems the tub height is small is they wont escape?
Height is low, but Leopards and Fat Tails aren’t all that good at climbing, so an enclosure with height is a waste of space. The bins fit in the rack with only a slight gap of less than an 1/8th inch. I’ve never had one get out.
Is 11qt Ok for an adult female? Is it going to stress them out since their confined to such a small space? (Not trying to criticize, I’m trying to get a good idea what size tubs I need to have for my new breeding project)
Great question. Quart size is a bit misleading. It’s more about floor space. Since these tubs aren’t very high, they have ample floor area. The 11qt has the floor space a little smaller than a 10 gallon aquarium. Note that this is a breeding setup and not how I’d recommend keeping them as a pet. Although I have been keeping in these for nearly a decade without issue. Thanks
@@LunaGeckos Thanks so much! This really helped me decide the size tubs/which rack to purchase for my breeding program! Thanks again!
What size container is that, the black one for the adult male? I have seen those on Amazon, but haven't decided on the size. I would appreciate it, thanks.
The large are 23qt, medium 11qt and small 8qt. These are all from www.reptilebasics.com
@@LunaGeckos Hi, sorry about that I meant the hide (the black one) thank you. 😊
Oh. Ha. I get them from Reptile Basics too. I’ll have to measure to see which size it is.
@@LunaGeckos Hey Luna Geckos, were you able to measure the size of the hides (the black one for the adult male)? I'm interested in purchasing the exact ones as they are perfect for my set up, I would really appreciate it, thank you. 😊
Hi! What temperature range do you keep your VE-6 heat tape at?
92 for leopards and 90 for fat tails.
Show your geckos I’m ready to see them
Had a few cameos in this one, but stay tuned for next Sunday!!!
@@LunaGeckos yessss!!!
