How To Setup A Crested Gecko Tank For Less Than $20!

[@Sostic]

Feel free to add more egg cartons or paper towel rolls. This video is just a good place to start. Also something to remember is that sticks are better than tons of fake plants. You'd be better off with 2 - 4 good sticks than a cage full of fake vines.

Do crested geckos need a light cycle? I got a 7 quart tub for the little dude but I'm not sure whether I should have light or not

[@novaava]

I *never* would have thought of using egg cartons like that. Genius.

[@xkaexhdx6880]

Hi don't you make a few small wholes on the plastic box?

[@fregs1522]

Wow $20 instead of $200. Amazing

[@Havenblane]

is this really good for housing them? im just getting one as a pet, not to breed. will it be completely healthy in this enclosure and live its full lifespan??

[@Sostic]

Yes you could also look into Exo Terra tanks if you don't like the way tubs look

[@Havenblane]

@@Sostic ok thanks! im a huge reptile person, but im a kid and all i have is 300$ and i need to save to provide for other pets. thanks for the help!

[@little_robin]

what If its like cold outside and you need to get a heat lamp to heat your gecko but how and where will you put it and will the plastic melt what would you do?

[@Sostic]

I have a video coming out today talking about how to heat your gecko

[@se9882]

​​@@Sostic Hi, did you ever get to uploading this video? I'm just curious about how you would go by adding a heat source.

[@Hvfyjv]

Loving the vids

[@Sostic]

Thank you

[@dragonvok8865]

Was going to ask if you had a link to the 75 ft vine you bought?

[@JohnLeeGenshin]

So im getting a crested gecko for my birthday...and i wanted to use a plastic box,coconut fiber,a hide,artificial leaves and some logs from the petshop,a water dish from the petshop and a food dish..is it good?

[@prodbysutla]

I know im late but everything is good escept for water bowl because you dont need it cause you need to mist the. How is it doing?

[@redtv1382]

The best up and coming youtuder

[@Sostic]

Thank you

[@theskyquakewarrior]

Thank you so much. Need all the advice etc as we are new owners of a baby crested gecko (can be seen on my KZbin) Love your channel!

[@theskyquakewarrior]

Is there anything that is toxic for the gecko that you wouldn’t think?!

[@novaava]

​@@theskyquakewarrior Nonstick cookware. Anything made of teflon before 2013 (according to Google) can release toxic fumes (PTFE) when heated; and while it's relatively harmless to humans at that concentration it can be deadly to reptiles and birds. I think your animals are ok if they're in a separate, closed-off room, but please don't take my word for it, 'cause my information might be outdated.

[@theskyquakewarrior]

NovaAva Thanx! I knew about teflon and birds. Didn’t think about it could affect reptiles too.

[@peterscaritojr7835]

Great video I’m looking to buy my first crested gecko and watching this video it seems like the crested geckos poop everywhere. I have Leopard gecko‘s and of course they seem to be trained they go to one corner so this is not the case with a Crested geckos and you can you train them to go in one particular spot? Appreciate your input thank you

[@Sostic]

Unfortunately you can't 😕 that's one nice thing about leopard geckos

[@codywalker1852]

What are those suction cup log/branch things you out in there called or what brand??

[@carolynd1679]

The patternless red you have for sale. Is it $70 or $85? You are listing to different prices.

[@Sostic]

Sorry it's $70

[@justjosh9814]

How would I heat a setup like this one ?

[@Sostic]

Your best option is to heat the whole room if you use these

[@justjosh9814]

Hiya, just a quick question, do you need to use a heat matt on these as those can be quite pricy!

[@Sostic]

No, unless your house is super cold

[@justjosh9814]

@@Sostic ok thankyou!

[@Jayden-ug3to]

Hi love your content😉

[@Sostic]

Thank you

[@cam5648]

where did those suction cup wood perches come from?? ive never seen them before!

[@Sostic]

Pangea Reptiles :)

[@chainedsoul83]

No heat source needed with the bin? I’m researching to get one

[@14kstxrss4]

nope!Crested geckos dont need any source of heating unless your house gets cold but if your temperature stays at room temperature then you should be fine!

[@LLoydwng]

Link to vines plz

[@scrubtaco3194]

what was the link for the vines ? i want to find those exact ones!

[@JS-hf1qg]

How many ventilation holes do you put on the tub?

[@Sostic]

I usually do one or two rows around the top of the tub about an inch apart and then as many as the lid can fit also an inch apart

[@albertsexotics1411]

Yo sup nice vid

[@yesnt3189]

cool video

[@LeonardoPreciado-h4n]

They don’t need a lamp. !?!

[@The_Macaroon]

Buy a tub throw some garbage in it then cover in vine leaves. Boom. Enjoy your new home Mr Gecko. Lol just kidding this is a good video. Many thanks

[@elenap7130]

Hi

[@1984watchr]

ehhh yeah I mean all that cost more than $20 lol but thanks. I am not trying to be rude in the comments its just when you say a price on a video, then all that stuff really adds up to like $35 to $40 especially with the fake plants it's just not true. All reptile breeders seem to do this, exaggerate how little the animals cost. I mean, they are worth the money don't get me wrong, but just be honest about it. This is a great video for anyone who thinks a gecko needs like a huge exo terra glass tank or something for one animal like I did when I got into breeding geckos (you know, those are the ones they sell at pet stores, so you naturally think it's what's needed when you bring an animal home.) who knew you could just buy a rubbermaid tub? lol.
