@leopardopedia16 күн бұрын
Yes, a 40 gallon tank is the perfect size tank to house a Leo for it's entire life! It allows it to not only *just* survive, but also thrive! However, if you can provide any reputable material stating otherwise, I'd be more than happy to pin your comment.

do i have to upgrade to 40?
@leopardopediaАй бұрын
For an adult, a 40 is the minimum size to thrive. 20 long is enough to survive, but think about it as if it were yourself. Would you rather thrive or just survive? Best of luck!

Hi there! Thank you for posting this video, I learned so much! I am in the process of adopting a leo within the next couple of months and I just have some questions for you. With the "Enigma" leos, are they born with the disease or is it a progressive sort of illness? Also! Are Banana Blizzard leos a happy/healthy choice in terms of the tier list. Thank you!
@leopardopedia2 ай бұрын
Hi! Tysm so much for watching and I'm genuinely glad you learned something from my ramblings haha To answer your questions, Enigma Leo's are indeed very prone (if not completely guaranteed) to some of the horrible symptoms I mentioned and it's really not worth supporting the morph! Now the banana blizzard morph isn't something I'm familiar with, so I did some research. The closest thing I found was "Banana Blazing Blizzard" but apparently no one has been able to produce one. May I ask where you plan to get your Leo?
@Mariggane164692 ай бұрын
@@leopardopedia I "assumed" she was a banana blizzard only because of her colours, and I could absolutely be DEAD WRONG. I found a lady whose husband (who was a leo fanatic) passed away and is now stuck with 20 geckos and has no idea what to do lol. Shes based in Gatineau, QC, CANADA, but theres no papers to determine what the morph is....just me guessing with absolutely no education lol
@leopardopedia2 ай бұрын
@Mariggane16469 Ah, yeah, colors can help to determine the morph, but most of the time don't help as a lot of coloration can be shared between morphs or inconsistent.

Hey I have a quick question. I have just setup a bioactive terrarium for a leopard gecko. I made the background and everything with spray foam and styrofoam. I ended up just painting the background with acrylic paints. Is this going to be harmful to the gecko. Also is it going to affect the bioactivity of the terrarium. Thank you for your help.

If the paint bottles say non-toxic you should be fine! Just make sure it's fully dry before introducing your leopard gecko. If you can find a non-toxic acrylic sealer too, that'd help.

I wouldn’t use Herptivite for leopard geckos. They use beta carotene instead of vitamin A retinol or acetate. Some better supplements to use are Repashy Calciun Plus, ZooMed Reptivite, Fluker’s Reptile Multivitamin, and Nekton Multi-Rep. From Winter Park Veterinary Hospital “Some reptile multivitamins will have beta carotene instead of vitamin A as a substitute; however, many of the reptiles predisposed to hypovitaminosis A cannot convert beta carotene to vitamin A, thus these products lack any usable vitamin A” From Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital “ Insectivores, such as leopard geckos, chameleons, toads, and some frogs need preformed vitamin A because they are not able to convert beta-carotene precursors into vitamin A”

It depends on what you're putting in it, I guess. If you plan on using a DHP and a CHE in each slot and the wattage is appropriate than you should be fine as long as you have the proper thermostat. If you plan on using a UVB bulb, I would say no. I'd use a tube bulb that's about 2/3 the length of your tank, preferably T5 as they are way more efficient than T8 bulbs!

@michaelvega824 I'm assuming you're talking about your bulb being 50W? If so, that should be fine, depending on the height, and the type of bulb. Like I said, DHP are one of the best bulbs for them, and as long as you have a good thermostat for it, you can go with higher wattage and it'll stay regulated at a healthy temp. Also, make sure you look into upgrading your tank to something bigger as your Leo grows! A 20 gallon (long) is barely big enough for anything besides a baby or small juvenile!

As a baby Leo owner I can say it’s not that different from a adult the only thing I’d say was a con compared to the adults is they are fragile and feisty so baby Leo’s are a good beginner pet they just take up more of your time also because you need to feed them more often

Leopard geckos do not need UV light they get it from their calcium form a bowl and eating there shedded skin
@leopardopedia5 ай бұрын
Thats a common misconception! *Technically*, they can survive without it, but their quality of life will he lower. UVB allows them to process vitamin D3, which then allows them to use the calcium they consume. Without calcium youll see issues like MBD. There are calcium supplements with D3 in them, but most people would rather give their geckos a more natural, and healthy intake as UVB has more benefits than just D3. Please use a UVB bulb! You wouldn't want to just *survive*, right? You'd want to thrive! Do the same for your gecko! Edit: spelling
