Well the tank i have in this video is perfect for two leopard geckos. And if you decide to get another one later, you can fit up to 3 in this tank. Its a 20 long
thanks
you don’t need a uvb bulb, leo geckos aren’t basking reptiles, they get all of their heat from their stomachs.
Well some like to use them…and idk about gettin warmth from their stomachs cuz there cold blooded
Actually, Leopard Geckos are nocturnal which means they hide and sleep during the day and come out at night, so they don’t need UVB.
Honestly, thats a pretty sad leopard gecko setup. All there is is a water dish, food dish, half log hide and a moist hide. Like theres no plants or rocks or anything like that.
Well it works for me.
why dont u just out a piece of toliet paper were ther poop so its easier to pick up
U kno i’ve been thinkin about that, i may try it soon cuz that piece of reptile carpet it gettin kind of old.
i just got a baby bell albino male yesterday at the expo in manassas. he appears to b pretty stressed cuz hes breathing very fast. wat shud i do 2 reduce the stress?
I would leave him in his tank for a few days and not handle him. He needs to get use to his new environment and you. And put a few hide in there for him to hide in. They feel safe in small dark places.
arite thanx thats wat i’ll do. hes got a normal hide that hes usually in and a humid hide that he hasnt been in yet. how long dyu think it’ll take him to adjust?
Umm…it really depend on how much stress he was under, usually those reptile shows can be pretty stressfully on a reptile. maybe 2 or 3 days. He’ll probably start comin out at nite and roam around his tank or when ur not there. Do know if the breeder you bought him from raise him in a glass tank or a tub?
hmm… im not rly sure. i think hes blind now, cuz i just got home and hes been bumping into the walls and kinda walking around aimlessly. im calling the vet now
Thats ok they all do that from time to time and the reason i asked about the tub or the glass is b/c if he was raised in a tub then it will take him a lil longer to get used to you. He may not be used to seeing people outside of his tank moving around.
oh ok. the vet said the same thing as u, they do that sometimes and its nothing 2 worry bout. thanx
Thats good to hear. If you have any more question jus shoot me a message.
use slate tiles for your substrate and dont pick the poo up with ur hands! you never no you could get salmonella if you forget to wash your hands!
what size is that exo terra hide large or medium
large
you should really clean your take when ever you see the phesis and you shouldnt touch it either
can 2 leopard geckos live in a 50 gallon or is it too big
way to big but nothing is never to big
is it normal for me to clean tank daily?
dude us a scoop to clean tank
