[@dillanreese4859]

Where is the rest of the setup? It's kinda crazy you say that you'll keep a gecko in there it's whole life. If you think your gecko is having trouble because the enclosure is "too big" could be due to there not being enough stuff in it. In every country except the US the standard size for a Leo is a 40 gallon. Yeah your animals may look good but there is no way you have to think this is cool for their whole life like cmon

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Everyone will have their own perspective on breeder setup vs naturalistic setups. I am ok with that. But we do know that leopard geckos have reproduced and seemingly thrived in breeder setups for the last 30 years in the USA, so I would say it's hard to speak against that data.

@@leoig1544 Hm... That's awfully judgmental to say just because of a rack system. Rack systems have worked for years in the world of leopard geckos but I can understand you having a desire to not see them in rack systems, and understand your perspective based on that.

[@leoig1544]

I keep mine in racks too! I support racks but not they way you do. To say your tub sizes are owner preference or some one saying geckos don't need much = convenience to the owner and not the reptile. Sorry if my words offend you but this video pretty much shows me what not to do to my geckos.

@@GeekyGeckoCreations No one is judging you for the racks, were judging you because of how small they are and how easily you pass it off as ok. Animals should be enriched even if they're breeders. I get if you run an operation but there is a certain point when maybe you cut down the size or make more space. These animals deserve better than this. These tubs are only maybe 3x the length of an adult Leo how is this even acceptable to you if you say you care and love these animals

Remember geckos have a much different set of priorities than we do: survive, and breed being amongst the top 2.

Ive had baby geckos in big tubs not eat, almost die, and the minute i put them into smaller tubs begin eating and thriving, same with ball pythons, natural instinct "can" make them feel more secure, every animal is different right, but for 30 years breeders have had tremendous success with set ups like this. Thanks for your input :)

[@rattiini]

"rack setups have allowed leopard geckos to thrive and breed in captivity for 30+ years." Rack setups have allowed BREEDERS to thrive and breed (leos) in captivity for 30+ years, they have allowed BREEDERS to saturate the market with leopard geckos. Rack systems, especially ones as poor as these do not allow a leopard gecko to thrive, only to survive. For most people who care for their animals ie. reptile pet keepers, this is not enough by any standard. Most of us have our bar higher than "this animal is alive, great job." Pretending these animals don't need UVB as well as adequate heating and an enriching environment (at least 3 hides, 1 warm, 1 cool & 1 humid is apparently anthropomorphising to you?) to benefit you (and keepers like yourself) in terms of cost and effort is a stinky move. I suggest you catch up with the science of reptile keeping as you seem to be stuck in the 90s along with Brian Barczyk himself. If I were to buy an animal from a breeder and setups like this were their standard, I'd be looking to purchase elsewhere and adding them to a blacklist. May I also add that there is an in-between to "tiny enclosure they feel secure in despite not being able to turn around" vs "large open enclosure oh no scary spooky barren". You get a large enclosure and FILL it, this is the enrichment part. Clutter that vivarium up, then they will feel secure and have an environment that's actually enjoyable for you to look at, enjoyable for them to roam and allow them to exercise and explore instead of....sitting in one spot all day, every day. I am tired of this "argument" being used as an excuse to put certain reptiles in the smallest space possible - see also: ball pythons.

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Racks provide, security, easier to clean spaces therefore more bacteria-free, safety and security for the gecko. In the wild they live in small small rock crevices to feel safe. And its also easier to find food in smaller enclosures so ball pythons, and certain geckos do really well in these conditions :)

[@rattiini]

@@GeekyGeckoCreations certain rack systems can be done well, but they are for the convenience of the keeper. A rack system that does not allow for any light or space for more than one hide is not a good one. Yes in the wild geckos (and bps) like to have small spaces to retreat to to feel comfortable, we replicate this with HIDES, not the whole enclosure. They do not spend their entire life in these cramped spaces in the wild, they roam & hunt. Using the outdated "small space" answer as an excuse to house your gecko in a tiny enclosure and claim they feel "secure" is entirely misunderstanding how these animals work and imo, anthropomorphising your geckos to benefit you as the keeper by pushing the narrative that they are happier like this. "Tiny space bad? No see, he loves it, look how secure he feels" Again if you are unable to deal with the upkeep of a decently sized leo enclosure, why get one? Its not difficult to spot clean leo poops, clean water dishes and change the sub (if loose) every now and then. I wouldn't shove my rats into a cage far too small for them because it's too much effort to clean a properly sized cage. You buy the animal, you provide adequate housing and care.

The way it is now the heat tape is just exposed under the tank hope that makes sense appreciate your feedback thank you

Do u have a picture? As long as you take a Temp gun which u can buy on Amazon and take the temp of the surface where the gecko basks as long as it's 87-95 degrees u r perfect! No need to change it should feel warm to ur touch but not hot. If so u r ok.

[@peterscaritojr7835]

@@GeekyGeckoCreations Thank you for your reply yes the temperature is 87° I know it’s hard to explain it’s a stand but it’s just a frame with no top shelf. So I put the tank on this frame so basically the heating pad is exposed underneath and open so I’m just wondering if I’m losing heat and the thermostat is constantly going on, but like you said I am maintaining the 87°. I was just thinking maybe I should put a shelf on top of the stand to keep the heating pad from being open and exposed The air

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

@@peterscaritojr7835 Thanks a good idea and you will get more consistent higher heat. But be careful about fire. Just be careful how much pressure is put on the heat bad, and if the plastic coating gets scratched off it would expose the live electricity beneath it, so just be careful and kinda think about how you could make it safe but yes a shelf would offer you more higher heats. :)

Leopard geckos do not yhrive on these... but yeah these make money for someone who only wants their gecko to stay alive but never thrive. So sad, you dont have to buy the most expensive glass terrarium but atleast give a good life by not making them live in a luch box. Same as I said to brian, no hate otherwise nothing personal, just this leopard gecko housing that disgusts me. They are already super neglected throwaway pets and this does NOT help! Breeders should be promoting good care!

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Jasmina thank you for your honest feedback, I will receive that. As a breeder, you know that we ahve large colelctions which require a lot of time, money and space, so when you can keep animals "simpler" you do. I have personally seen leoaprd geckos starve themselves, and not eat in bigger tubs ive used in the past, and the minute I love them over to a smaller tub they start smashing mealworms and thriving. Geckos do not think like we do, they have 3 basic needs, food, water, shelter, often times just like ball pythons, leopard geckos feel safer in tight spaces where they have no fear of predators. We see the same thing happen in teh ball python world, bigger tubs often lead to insecuirty in the animals and you know as well as I do, when animals are stressed they just dont eat. Ive had breeder females starve themselves to death because of their uncomfort with their bodies breeding, this is extremely rare, but stress can induce starvation behavior in leoaprd geckos and ball pythons. Also remember the main reason you as a hobbiest can buy a gecko for $200 instead of $2000 is because of breeders. If breeder set ups were larger and more expensive, most people would not be able to afford the inflated prices that would come into the hobby as a whole, does that make sense? We truely care about our animals as breeders but we also have to minimize expenses. One last point, less moving parts makes things easier to clean, things that are easier to clean have less bacteria build up, pathogens and other transferable diseases that come from feeder insects, poop, or water slime. I love how easy it is to clean a simple set up, and again, give the gecko what he/she needs in a clean healthy environment. I know you have your perspective and it's a great one I just want you to see mine. Thank you for the comment.

@@GeekyGeckoCreations I do undrstand. I just think that couple hidrs and enrichement CAN be done even in racks.

Maybe put a video about affordable setup that has the requirements that a gecko can thrive? I have many of my reptiles in vivariums but one of my leopard geckos is actually in a bin cage as I has a big storage bin lying around.

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Thanks yeah, and Im sure you know i care tremendously about all my animals. This is not to go against what you said, but its common for us humans to project our "thoughts" of the animal's needs into fact when in reality they are just "our feelings" or "our thoughts"...I do believe animals have feelings, but it's funny, there are a lot of observational experiences by breeders who observed geckos and ball pythons and im sure other species that felt insecure in a big open tank and did not eat, breed, or thrive, but when transferred to a breeder set up, they began eating, thriving, breeding, for the simple fact that they "felt" more secure, or at least, that seems to be what the observation is telling us, you know? I assign feelings to my animals too, I do, but at the end of the day, what I believe the animal truly cares about most is the feeling of security and safety, which surprisingly, smaller spaces can give "certain" animals, this is not a recipe for all animals but in the case of ball pythons and leopard geckos, it "seems" to be evident through breeder experiences.
