- HOW TO SETUP A CRESTED GECKO VIVARIUM | GECKO UPDATE!
In today's Reptiliatus video we are upgrading my crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus) into new, larger terrariums (Exo Terra 18x18x24) Crested gecko setups! I will guide you through the process of setting up the enclosures step by step concluding with a short update on the two geckos. Thank you for watching!

My favourite Crested Gecko Morph has to be the Lilly White! It is such an incredible gene! The beauty of the animals expressing this genetic trait is astounding! What I also love is that no two lillies are the same - not even clutch mates! Talk about special! Thank you for watching everyone!
Reptiliatus where do you get your cork backgrounds? I currently have a lily white female on a payment plan she’s almost paid off!
Agree Lilly Whites are beautiful.
What plant did you use?
Hey dude do you use uva uvb lights
Btw what is the black material you put on top of the rocks, are they rocks?
I traveled two hours just to get a tiger morph cresty, my first pet! 2 months after I got him he is great, growing a lot and will even sit on my shoulder when I have to do homework or watch some tv. I think he likes it when the Geico commercial comes on :D.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm crying. This is so beautiful 😭
@@limitless4375 aww, thanks
I got my mom fired from geico because she was pregnant with me and missed work after she gave birth to me
@@KarmicEwe well, you're a terrible child then.
I’m getting my first job soon and I want to buy a crested gecko as my first spending
we need updates!
@@braydonbroome7473 funny you ask that today considering today is the day piccolo was delivered. I have a job at sonic which I love a lot and I make so much money even If it’s nothing compared to others it’s a LOT to me. I do take a lot more naps now tho. I find myself tired often but that’s fine.
@@braydonbroome7473 piccolo is quite shy and I only try to hold him for about a minute so I don’t stress him out while he’s still exploring his new home. I’m going to try and hold him for at least 5 minutes next week. Hopefully he won’t be scared of me for too long.
@@polterking3679 that’s awesome! I haven’t worked at sonic but I have worked in food service.
Proud of you for grinding and keep it up.
Oh yeah don’t report your cash tips if you haven’t already known that. Aside from that best of luck with Piccolo!
I have a crested I got in October and i still haven’t named it. He just goes by little dude. And I’m not even sure if it’s a he 😂
@@braydonbroome7473 that’s so cool I call my guy lil dude as well! And thank you
I’mma sit here for 10 hours until it premieres
It was such a joy to see the adorable and spunky personalities of these two beautiful geckos! I cracked up when your lily white just walked right into the little box lmao XD
Thank you so much! Haha, Pingu is a cheeky gecko!
LOVED this video, thank you! I am literally about to upgrade my adult crested gecko to an 18x18x24 exo terra bioactive enclosure and you have given me inspiration and confidence that I know what to do! Love the look of your enclosures!
thank you very much!
Is crested gecko overall expensive for the food, enclosure and etc?
You guys are lucky. I would like to have something like that in my bedroom but then both me and the cat would be watching it and you don't know what she's like! 😭
@@cer8038 no
i got the enclosure today, shit was nearly 300
These are the coolest set ups ever! I just got a new crested gecko and I so wanna do this! Great video!
I’ve kept snakes for multiple years now and I’m strongly considering a crested gecko as my first none snake reptile. This video helped lots! Thanks
Both enclosures are looking so GORGEOUS
Also always loosen the "root ball" when planting plants from a pot! 🥰 Helps them establish their system faster.
Great tip! The plants I planted where actually all from one massive root ball I separated up haha.
God I want to create a vivarium. But I'm still somewhat new despite having my gecko for almost two years. After watching these I feel like I've been treating my gecko poorly. Thanks for the videos!
Thank you. I have watched so many dang videos on so many enclosures. I love yours! Easy, simple, pretty and affordable. New subscriber.
I am think about getting a crestie soon! This helped a lot about setting them up!!
good job keeping care of these guys. this helped a lot since i am getting a few crested geckos myself soon. keep up the great work
Glad I could help!
One of the best videos on how to set a bioactive tank up 👍🏽 Thank you
I love cresties I’m getting one soon and I’m sooo excited.
I love my crestie! He is a lavender harlequin with some dalmation spots and possibly some brindling. When I was setting up my bioactive for him I watched your other video of setting up the other enclosures for your cresties and it was a huge help, it’s how I found this channel actually
That is awesome!
they look great! i don’t have any crested geckos, but my best friend has on and i’ve cared for him before! the jungle mix is ok for me, it always gives me splinters. i prefer zoomed’s reptisoil. i love the cork! also the music in this video was nice😅
I love these videos and this was very helpful bc I’m planning on getting a crested gecko in the future!
Thank you for giving them proper enclosures. ❤️
Of course! 🦎🦎
Amazing video quality!! Always looking forward to your content
Thank you so much!
I have two female crested geckos and they are easily one of my favorite geckos! I love their personalities so much. my one, rin, is a pure flame. then my other, haruka,is a flame bold-tricolor!!💜 I am actually currently working on building a natural vivarium for rin (dont worry haruka is next!), so this video is very helpful! thank you!
Wonderful! My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Here’s a tip:
Depending on what type of crestie you have you might want to get a certain bedding. For instance, I got my crestie a coconut dirt bedding, I do not recommended this because mine tried to eat it due to the coconut in it. I’ve learned now that it can be very lethal if they eat too much of that type. Now I choose carpet, but you also have to be careful about that because certain carpets have a low quality material and gecko pads get stuck on it. Also I recommend an auto sprayer, it’s easier for when you have to go on trips for many days and people don’t need to comeover every couple hours to spray it and instead they can focus on feeding it and caring for your crestie. Also if you feed your crestie crickets, only feed them one or maybe two a week depending on the cricket size, if they have to much they get these weird bumps on their body and from what I know it’s not healthy. Also I have made the mistake of wanting to be able to see my crestie more so I only put 1 plant in, but hiding is natural and probably makes them feed a lot more comfortable. Lastly, I don’t recommend mesh hammocks bought at pet stores, especially for hatchlings. Their delicate pads can easily get stuck in the mesh and could injure them badly. Thanks for reading all this and have a nice day!
(Also I recommend getting a crestie, they are amazing)
I recently got a crested gecko I love him so much one of the coolest pets ever
wonderful, congrats!
I loved the video! I just got a new 18x18x24 tank today at a reptile expo for my crested gecko! Your videos helped a lot, & I DIED when she went into the box and got cozy. Id love a lily white! 😊👍🏻😍
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
I own 13 crested geckos!! I’ve recently gotten into the pinstripe morph, but for the longest time I was obsessed with Dalmatians!
Awesome!
I was wondering why my crested gecko stop eating (every other day) she would clean out the bowls now she has stop eating for a couple of days do you know what’s wrong i just moved her into a new cage because she was to big for the other one and she was eating just fine when I moved her for a week and half now she stop
Pingu is BEAUTIFUL. Definitely a dream geck!!
Thank you!
Hi there! I noticed that you didn't put springtails and isopods in the substrate, is this okay to do? I read somewhere that you would have to just keep replacing the substrate. How frequent do you have to do this without a CUC? Ty! Beautiful build btw!
I got my Sky Puppy shirt today!!! And am in love with these two enclosures! And Pingu and Nona look amazing! 💚🦎🐸🐢🐍🦎💚🐸
Oh wonderful! I hope you like it! Thank you so much for supporting the channel! ☺️
Sneak peek! Pingus first baby just hatched tonight and you’ll be meeting them next week!
This vid is awesome 🤩
Your vivariums are always so stunning!! I love the cork background you use, where do you buy it from or what brand is it?
This video was very helpful, thank you! I'm actually getting a crested gecko in a few weeks and I've been looking for the different types of enrichment crested owners would recommend. :)
Zeebia LPS happy to hear that!
Yes you could say I have and adore cresties, I have 8 all rescues. I have two harlequin ,Dalmatian ,tiger ,flame ,red patternless ,blonde ,Halloween, all are in bio active enclosures. They are so fun to watch and interact with .. great video!
That is awesome!
Great video, thank you so much!
Yay can’t wait for it to start
Thanks for watching!
I have 55 crested geckos. I really enjoy keeping them, they do a lot of dumb entertaining things. I have a variety of morphs but breed primarily for high contract pinstripes with drips :)
Nice collection. Are they usually bolty or handable like the ones in video? Thanks
Very nice! Impressive!
@@oblivionous6691 Very handlable.. some prefer to be left alone. Only one or two crazies :)
Where did you get the background? I'm starting the process of making a couple of bioactive tanks for my future geckos. I'm hoping to get a crested and a gargoyle!
Great video
I enjoyed your video! I have a red bi colour crestie named Smaug. Just upgraded him to a 18x18x36! H seems to use all the space!
I love watching bio-active enclosure set ups. Would love to get Amazon milk frogs some day and set one up for them.
Thanks for watching! That would def be cool!
I love how pingu somehow liked that cellphone box more than a massive beautiful cage 😅. Love your vids I always watch them when feeding my animals or setting up tanks 😊
she's a cutie haha. Thank you!
Reptiliatus your welcome :)
Keep making your amazing vids 😊
Hello! Love your channel! I really enjoy keeping my crested gecko he is still a baby but he has a beautiful pattern right now his morph is an extreme flame Dalmatian.
I got my first crestie on New Year’s Eve, and we weren’t told what morph he is but I think he’s a flame!
thanks for the video
Bro thx I needed this kind of video for my crested gecko ❤❤❤ 😊😊😊
My pleasure! Glad you liked it!
amazing looking tanks, i’m going to build a vivarium for my new dart frogs later on this week
Thank you! That's Awesome! I'll be doing the same soon (video to come of course!)
Hi. Thanks for the video.. how often would you have to replace the soil? Thank you
I don’t own one yet, I have all the stuff just waiting on the gecko itself
Can you update us please😁
What’s the name?
I own a female crested gecko, and I really enjoy keeping her! She is my very first reptile, and I think she is a Pinstripe / Dalmatian morph. She has a big appetite too!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
I have 10 crested geckos, I love them all! I have Dalmatians, pinstripes/quadstripes,,I would love to have a Lilly white one day. Great video!
So cool! You should get one for sure! :)
My brother owns a crestie, and we got isopods and live plants to make it bioactive. Thank you for the guide, it really helped us out
Also, I do not know what morph it is. It’s name is Zilla ( I am also saying it cause I don’t know it’s gender 🤷♂️ )
Nice! My pleasure! ☺️👍🏼🦎
@@Reptiliatus Oh! What did you use for the background if the tanks?
And one more question, do you think a Crestie tank needs a background?
I appreciate this video. Thank you for the knowledge. I'm a fairly new Leopard Gecko owner and trying to figure out the best enclosure for her.
great video! what was that first plant you did?
I loved this build!! I absolutely need to know what what used for the background, I've been trying to find that exact cork like material for my future leopard gecko enclosure but I've only been able to find the cork bark tiles instead of the flat boards like you used.
awesome vid! I am going to be upgrading my gecko's terrarium pretty soon so this video is super helpful. Is it not necessary to put in springtails?
what led lights do you use for your crested geckos?
Hey reptiliatus, where did you buy your cork from for this vivarium?
I have two crested geckos, I really enjoy keeping them, one is a Dalmatian and the other is a tiger
where do you get your cork logs? i’m struggling to find good ones
I love having my geckos! I have a Halloween tiger and a bicolor
how often do you need to change the substrate for this kind of setup?
Hi there I'm hopefully getting a creastie soon and I need some advice. How much qt of junglevmix would I need and what type of cork would I need to fill the tank with. Much appreciated and great video🙂
I just got my first crested gecko ever and it has been a pretty cool and rewarding experience thus far! His name is Igor and he's a harlequin, partial pinstripe, tricolor!
Love the name! That's so fun! Thanks for watching!
hi :) I know this vid was made a long time ago but I'm getting a crested gecko soon and I was wondering if I need any special lights or anything for my future crested gecko ( love you vids btw ) :)
Very nice. Where do you get the background and bark?
Very nice my friend! Regards from spain 👌 👌 👌
Gracias amigo!
You keep Geckos in Spain senor?
@@MauriceTarantulas yes friend. And chamelons
I don’t have a crested gecko but I do have a Juvenile gargoyle gecko that I haven’t named yet. I just built an 18x18x36 foam background and mounted corkbark and live planted tank. Really excited for him to grow up so he can get in there. He is a brownish blackish stripe!
Gargoyles are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Reptiliatus I miss seeing yours🥺... but I know the reason you don’t show them anymore😣
nice video do you reccomend any breeders?
haha i know i’m a bit late to this video (i’m planning on upgrading my geckos 20gal tank to an 18x18x24 vivarium, so i decided to check out your videos) but i love caring for my gecko, although he can be a bit hyper since he’s only 1 1/2 years old lol. he is a cream, patternless gecko. :)
Great video! Do you have Link to the background you adhered to the back?
That’s what I’d like to know as well
What type of lighting do you use for plant growth?
What kind of cork did you use for the background? Love the look.
So how humid do you make your enclosures? They look wonderful.
Amazing!
In a few months I’m gonna go get a Flame Pinstripe.
Wahoo! Congrats!
How often do ypu change out the clay balls and substrate? Im thinking about getting a crestie
I will get one soon!!!🥰
I love my crested gecko her pattern is a blush pattern. she loves sitting on my shoulder.❤
Wonderful!
I dont own my own crested geko yet, but I'm planning on buying one soon. I found this video really helpful. My question is what plants would be good to put in their set up?
what pray bottle brand is the yellow one you have it works great
Do you set it up with the screen and hydro things due to live plants?
Hey, I have a crested gecko and I was wondering if I should switch him to a bin setup and what size bin should it be?
Woah!!! this is amazing! Your CZcams is awesome; you have earnt a subscriber here😁🤣!!!
Thanks for subbing!
I have a glass tank with a screen to measurement are 17”h x 14”L x 8”W what type a reptile can you recommend I put in there?
thank you for this video. I am new to this, can you help me please how to clean this terrarium?
How would you clean those out though? And how often? Would you only be replacing the substrate?
Do you add spring tails and isopods? If not do you have to clean the enclosure and how do you go about doing it.
Thank you very much I know this video is an old one but I've decided to take action and renovate my full grown crested gecko big cage with a timed mister so I no longer have to spray the cage with a bottle bc I injured myself and adding the right layers under the soil also adding real fresh plants and a big water dish. Is there anyway u have a video on all they can eat and what's best for them to eat?
I am new to this . What do you do as far as cleaning it from the gecko going to the bathroom ?
hi! i am wondering how you clean this? with no cleanup crew do you take out all the decor and plants and replace the substrate?
How do you divide up the zz plant without damaging it?
does the tanks come with that cork background? I ordered a 18x18x24 from josh's frogs do i have to buy that seperate or does it have some kind of background already
Will we need isopods for live plants? Or to prevent mold?
They are both very pretty. Love the setups. How do you find eggs in there? I have mine on paper towel with a lay box.
thanks a million! Haha yes... we'll worry about that problem when we get there hahaha
Do you have to do the little ball things and the mesh before the substrate or can you just put the substrate in? Also how often do you have to change the substrate and do you need springtails/isopods
You inspire me
:)
Hello sir, I’m getting a crested gecko soon ✨
May I have some tips on how to care for it?
Like can I use sticks and rocks from outside and would should I put at the bottom of it’s cage?
What type of plants did you put in the tanks? Also, what is the purpose of the balls under the mesh? What are they made of? Do you use a water mister? I’m looking to upgrade my crestie’s tank but want to make sure to do it right. Ty!
i got a baby crested gecko today it's by far my favorite animal out of everything and it's a harliquin
i know this is an old video im wondering how hard it is to keep this type of cage healthy for the gecko do you have to switch out the substrate often if so how often does do the plants make it harder? i feel like mold and stuff can grow sorry totally have no experience with cresties i was a snake and beardy keeper for along time tho and plan on getting a crestie for my bday in a couple weeks
May I ask how often you clean the tank to prevent and rid of the mold built up? Also, during cleaning do you replace all substrate again ( jungle mix)? Thank you
