[@NaturesAquascapes]

These are definitely the best beginner reptile, because of size, humidity and their fantastic feeding response

[@MikeTytula]

I agree :)

[@skallie8856]

Ino this is 3 years ago but mine is a very picky eater and it's hard to get her too eat

[@70nigga32]

leopard gecko care from petco view: use sand because it definently wont cause impaction use a light or uvb bulb because it totally dosent hurt your geckos eyes and always feed them pinky mice because they are definintly not considered a once a month treat for a leopard gecko and there you go thats how you care for a leopard gecko 🐊

[@fionashepley478]

They're not all bad...

[@swegbruh199]

reptile carpet is good but it is a hassle to clean

[@rhythmf.4460]

If you shake it most of the water comes out

[@mgecko2959]

Not to good for juveniles though, their tiny teeth are getting caught in the carpet. Paper towels are absolutely best way to go in my opinion. They are cheap and you can place a folded bit in their usual toilet spot so it easy to get rid of on daily basis without taking everything out. Found it extremely easy to keep their enclosures clean and tidy when I use paper towels and they seem to be happy on it so yeah - 100% recommended :D

[@geckosbykaren1412]

Crushed walnut shells are tiny shards of glass when they enter the abdomen of a gecko -_-

[@stevietaylor1210]

I have 3 leopard geckos 2 high yellows 1 jungle

[@MikeTytula]

Nice :)

[@whytho7907]

Stevie Taylor Wow that's amazing I have seven lmao my normal My albino My red stripe My tangerine My blizzard My other albino And my tangerine tornado 😂

[@hauntedvirus]

I have 3 Raptor female Blizzard female MACK Tremper w/y male

[@exoticjaguar969]

I have 8 leopards

[@coastalwren]

He had a sad face on his head

[@iphonetography9469]

The staple diet for my 3 leopard geckos are mealworms dusted with Fluker's calcium with D3. I also keep a small dish with some calcium with D3 powder in their enclosure so if they need it, they have it. I have only seen one gecko eat some once. About once a week I take the geckos out of their main enclosure and into a plastic pet carrier and i feed them the crickets in there. They are doing great and growing and their rails are starting to fatten up along with their bodies. I also use a low wattage infrared lamp to regulate the temperature since it is getting colder and my room doesn't have a heater. My lamp is set on a timer to turn on for 30 minutes at a time throughout the cold part of the night. So they warm side with heating pad says around 86-90 F and the cool side is around 70-76 F.

[@MikeTytula]

+iPhoneTography Ya that's all good!

[@grantworrell3848]

My gecko always is in his hide and I don't know how to get him walking around in his tank and so I can hold him he's 2 years old what should I do?

[@MikeTytula]

Well they are nocturnal so he won't be out that much during the day

[@pdamanic]

This video is AWESOME I watch it over and over so I have the video memorized thanks for the video please keep making videos

[@MikeTytula]

I have plenty more on my channel haha

[@sunnygeckos9604]

great video

[@jennyfranklin5633]

if you pause at 13:38 it looks like he wants to eat mike

[@Spongy_Udderz]

XD

[@raging_crocodile2081]

Is it weird that one of my leopard geckos likes to bask? I put an infrared basking lamp on one side of his cage for an experiment, and he actually will sit directly under it even though he has a heat pad and a hot hide. My other leopard gecko doesn’t do this.

[@MikeTytula]

Interesting, just make sure the light isn't on at night time.

[@raging_crocodile2081]

Ya, its on a timer and turns off at night.

[@Nardo-]

Wow your gecko loves crickets! My gecko looks at crickets as friends or something, he just looks at them and follows them around? I feed him meal worms but want to feed him crickets every once in awhile, any tips? And at day I keep a window open so will the natural light bother him? and it gets cold in my house at night, what if the cool side gets to cool how would I warm it up? This is a great vid and u earned a sub!

[@actually_michelle]

I have a 10 gallon tank almost one year old albino bell leopard gecko named rotten. He loves his tank. I use newspaper more convenient for my lifestyle. I've heard that coconut fiber eco earth is good but hold way too much moisture for geckos. The heat I use is a heat pad and light and he does bask in the light. He also eats freeze-dried mealworms so that's a load of crap he does eat dead bugs and live.

[@fionashepley478]

I recommend dry eco earth. Dead insects don’t provide any stimulation and have hardly any nutrition. I’d also ditch the lamp :)

[@MikeTytula]

Thanks for the input, hopefully 4 yrs later he's in a slightly larger enclosure.

[@Sionedl4]

Cute gecko. I have 3 normal coloured leopard gecko+now brought another one(Tremper Albino) I am lizard mad, all well looked after tho.

[@MikeTytula]

Sioned Lawson so long as they get the care they need! no problems :)

[@recentryan321]

Well it's about damn time!

[@MikeTytula]

haha sorry man! but here it is :)

[@jaydenblackwell7175]

thanks mike really helped

[@kiershawhite4986]

Love your Leo mine is a Mack snow a leopard gecko💛

[@MikeTytula]

That's awesome! congrats!

[@uncrumbledcooke623]

good video man, planning on buying one for the wife. much appreciated

[@FenerX]

great video as always !

[@MikeTytula]

Thanks :)

[@krissnulgath3154]

How is your gecko so aggressive with the crickets? I mean he quickly turns his head and properly strikes but when I feed mine cockroaches he usually picks them up like an egg, very gently. He rarely strikes properly but he is a healthy weight at 78g I just want to know how to make him strike if that's even possible.

[@salsoteca72]

You think I should use Eco earth in a 10 gallon acrylic tank, if yes, does the heating pad go on the bottom of the tank or on a layer of eco earth, in a first time gecko keeper! Plis explain

[@lelxd6545]

You reached 6k!!!! I am getting a leo myself I have a twenty gal. Tank

[@jesshudson5770]

jenny franklin there were 30 dollars on sale at my pet store and all the supplies came up to 60 dollars

[@reptileguy8458]

Sooo much mis information on the Internet...youtube etc...

[@MikeTytula]

I can't tell if that is an insult? but you are correct

[@kieratabor8887]

yay! u got it up!!

[@MikeTytula]

I did :)

[@Chris-jg7uk]

How do you know the difference between female and male

[@davinaubade8733]

try to feed your leopard gecko REPASHY GRUB PIED please do a review

[@whytho7907]

Davin Aubade Uhm I believe that's only for Created geckos I may be wrong but l only feed my Leo's live food and my cresties repashy

[@garypyle7246]

hey thanks man im getting one and feeding crickets and I didn't know how to add the substance thanks

[@embracethequantum4956]

Don't do sand or coco husk get tile or a paper towels

[@Maya-mu1sz]

Does anyone else see the face on the top of the leopard geckos head! 0:23 press pause 😂❤️

[@kcarvill4481]

Oh yeah funny

[@chrisduncan3943]

I read that some people think by adding a small UVB light, their leo spends more time out of their hide during the day. You think there's any truth to that?

[@MikeTytula]

UVB is beneficial to all organisms so yes that would support that hypothesis!

[@littlemark9352]

Hey man. how long did it take for your crested gecko to be fully grown. thanks!

[@hisaomngk]

Very helpful! Thank you!!!

[@hisaomngk]

+HodgePodgeLPS Also in California the EVERYTHING need for leopard gecko is 130 buck

[@DidISentIt]

One of my Leo's got sick and died today. I feel so terrible I want him back

[@missalaya7449]

How old was he?

[@diesal_one]

I got my first Leo about 3 years ago and he didn't last that long, I only had him for about 3-4 months before he died due to a parasite. About 4 Months later I decided to get another one and with my experience from my first one I kinda learned what to do and what not to do. 2 years later my 2nd gecko is still alive and healthy. If you have any questions on how to take care of a leopard gecko just ask me.

[@sneakers7290]

+Diesal One how often to feed and how muuch and whaaat

[@reesemunson8706]

Hi I really liked this video on Leapord Gecko care because I'm thinking about getting one. If you don't mind may I please have a list of all of the hides, decor and tank stuff. Thanks and for video suggestions I would say make more care videos because they are very interesting. Thanks

[@MikeTytula]

there will for sure be more care videos in the future. I don't have a list unfortunetly

[@bensrandomvideo]

Could you move your gecko into a smaller tank without sand and dump the crickets in?

[@MikeTytula]

Solo Lemmi If he will still eat that works fine!

[@bennaaman9905]

Hey Mike , love ur channel and videos, just a question, my leopard ( I think ) puked. This is the second time i've woken up to what looks like crushed up cricket kinda thing. No idea what it is, some people have said it's because the crickets are too big (He's a juvenile, and i feed him medium sized crickets(when i feed him crickets, i usually hand feed mealworms)) or because its not hot enough in his cage (25-30 degrees celcius). Any tips on what I should do? Thanks

[@larsonhill8404]

Ben Naaman same! I think it might be impaction, I'm going to try and give mine a warm bath. I don't use sand so it must be the cricket size.

[@fionashepley478]

Make sure any insects you give your Leo are no wider than the space between his eyes :)

[@lukedenton483]

No light is required for the health of leopard gecks but it's always good to have a light on there so they can tell night from day 😝

[@montgpaula]

I'm at $300. And it's been $8 in crickets in 14 days. $20 a month when I add mealworms. I would have nothing as far as necessity if I spent $100. Calcium powder, and a lot of other things needed to keep them healthy. It can be fairly expensive. If done correctly.

[@jaroslavtoth7434]

350€/30€ month

[@zoeyzee6261]

Really depends on where you buy the feeders, pet stores are more expensive than local feeder farms or online feeder sites

[@mgecko2959]

I don't see how you guys spend so much money. I keep my geckos in exo terra vivariums that I have bought in special offer for 120 each (plus I get some additional discount with all other stuff I bought). They are 45x60x45cm vivariums and its absolutely perfect size for them. Hides are ridiculously cheap, like 6 or 8 euros I have paid for them, heating matt 30 euros and some decorations 20e and dishes maybe 15e so that's less than 200e for everything brand new and that's a one time purchase. Feeders are cheap enough for 10 euros I can get 2 packs of crickets one pack of mealworms and pack of waxworms for treats. That's like 100 crickets in two packs or even more which last me for 2 weeks on 5 geckos. 20e worth of calcium and supplements last me for 3-4 months again on 5 geckos, you can reuse your calcium powder in which you dust your crickets for 2-3 dustings so its silly money as well. So for brand new setup I'm at 180e and maybe 10e a month maximum for feeders (that's per one gecko). But also I have bought recently two second hand vivariums, one for 70e with a stand and canopy with UVB lights in mint condition 3 foot by 1,5 foot and second one for a bargain of 60e but this one is more for beardie which I don't mind. It is 4,5 foot by 2,5 foot and over 3 foot high, came with ceramic bulb and holder, basking light, few exo terra dishes, hides and decorations, some rocks, logs and large heating matt. All of that for just 60 euros so I would say with a little bit of searching you can easily go for second hand setup which would cost you under 100$. So I'm at 250$ incuding month of food and 3 months of supplements - brand new. Or 100$ with month of food and 3 months of supplements - second hand.

[@AlienDisguised]

Brilliant video, thanks a lot!

[@leopardgeckoyoutube5654]

I love ur gecko

[@MikeTytula]

+Leopard gecko KZbin I love him to!

[@outdoorsurvival1105]

Hello, can the heat mats catch fire if lying on a surface such as wood? Thank you.

[@MikeTytula]

+Outdoor Survival I've never heard of one doing something like that no.

[@destinyl5560]

You really shouldn’t use a light, they can burn . You also shouldn’t use sand either, they can ingest it and get blocked up.

[@MikeTytula]

The light thing is simply not true, if given the proper habitat with adequate hiding, they will most certainly not get burned. As for the sand, with proper care, and the method in which I feed him, prevent him from ingesting much sand.

[@destinyl5560]

Mike Tytula well you’re leaving out impaction sir.

[@MikeTytula]

Nope... it's in there...With proper care a mild amount of particulate matter should pass through their system with no issues.

[@angelinaroman8437]

If you have a humid hid do you need to change to substrate? If so how many times a week/month or year do you have to change it?

[@Sc66.1]

Can you put a humid hide on the warm side? I have mine on the cold side but just wondering.

[@MikeTytula]

Cameron Reichel ya you can just have to make sure it stays wet

[@zinxzi]

I am getting a leo tomorrow! :)

[@MikeTytula]

+zinxzi Right on

[@Jacob-fm3cm]

for my leopard geck

[@davinaubade8733]

in indonesia the temperature is 35 degres do i still need a heat pad

[@Defa_Noob]

So leopard geckos need no special lighting? Just a UV light to brighten up the cage?

[@MikeTytula]

+Zack F You don't even really need any light

[@pumkinpie1231]

You NEED a under the tank heater. You don't need any uvb or any lighting since they are nocturnal.

[@chelsearenee1363]

I just rescued a pretty emaciated baby Leopard Gecko from a friend, it was super sudden and unexpected and I've been scrambling to get everything together for him/her. Luckily it's not my first reptile and I have quite a bit of stuff for it, but I was wondering, can I use a regular heating pad under his tank- like for back pains ect- for the little guy until I'm able to go out and get what he actually needs?

[@MikeTytula]

+Chelsea Renee Ya any source of heat is better than none

[@chelsearenee1363]

thank you!

[@franklinpineyard5020]

U-Blow-Farris 😂

[@EX7RUD1CON]

awesome video, be careful with walnut shells and your undertank heater, I was reading the instructions and it warns against it as a fire hazard. also try feeding roaches if you can, crickets are a dirty insect.

[@MikeTytula]

+EX7RUD1CON Roaches are illegal here

[@EX7RUD1CON]

Mike Tytula I see, that kind of sucks. Regardless, great vid.

[@jovanvilla7454]

What online resources that you recommend that have the cheapest decor and thermometers ,basically the essentials for the leopard gecko tank.

[@MikeTytula]

+Jovan Villa They are all very similar price, you will just have to shell out the money on this one bud

[@joewade03]

Mike Tytula I am not at all experienced in reptiles, and I would just like to ask for some help deciding which lizard to get

[@MikeTytula]

Joe Wade check out my video best beginner reptile

[@grantworrell3848]

how much meal worms/ crikets should i feed my gecko every day. its a adult

[@MikeTytula]

For an adult you want like 8-10 crickets every 2-3 days

[@babygirl7013]

Which side does the humid hide go on if your only using 2 hides in a 10 y’all

[@MikeTytula]

Middle of the tank.

[@Sweettnothings]

Sorry if you said so in the video but I didn't catch it- how often do you feed a leopard gecko? Also, how often do you feed juvenile vs adult leopard gecko?

[@MikeTytula]

Kayla Fox I feed him 2-3 times a week!

[@oscarmanzano4017]

thanks

[@domincksublett1584]

mine since i already had the tank and heat rock i use it costs me $88.98 for mine in derby at tails and scales and mines a carrot tail slight raptor pattern less shes beautiful her names jewel and her partner my friends gecko is a carrot tail giant eclipse his name is stripes and i use sand should i switch to crushed walnut shells? shes 2-3 yrs old im not sure but shes an adult FYI my profile pic is not either one

[@MikeTytula]

she should be fine. You don't have to worry just be cautious she doesn't eat the sand

[@domincksublett1584]

alright

[@tjn21rawr]

OK so question(idk if it'll get answered) we got a beauty from a lady that couldn't care for her. they had both a heating pad and light. we talked to our pet store to see if she needs both. she said yes, but does the light need to be on 24/7. her heating pad keeps that side warm. I just don't want her cold. also before we got her she shed I'm guessing, she had skin hanging from her toes. idk how long it was there. the store told us to put her in warm water to get it off or her toes could fall off. when we did this one of her toes looked really small. will she be OK? 😕

[@MikeTytula]

You want the light on only about 12 hours a day

[@tjn21rawr]

+Mike Tytula OK thank you. we have the light off now, her tank is pretty warm on the side she's on.

[@Hanna-hj9jx]

They don't need lights since they are active only during dusk till dawn lights can also hurt there eyes pet stores usually always gives out wrong information

[@traepatterson5413]

Thx for the vid

[@nicolelink2419]

Crested gecko care sheet I heard they could go in small repti breeze is this right

[@MikeTytula]

i don't recommend it at all it's way to small and free flowing air isn't the best for them as they do need humidity

[@nicolelink2419]

OK , just trying to find a use for this baby cham cage lol

[@ajscards9729]

Can I have some handling tips? My Leopard Gecko but me when I first got it.

[@MikeTytula]

just get him used to your hand in the tank and hold him in the tank for a couple weeks so if he runs then you have him land in the tank

[@hunterhensley7285]

Hey dude I just got my leopard gecko today I'm wondering how many crickets I should feed it

[@MikeTytula]

8-12 a every other day as a baby

[@Meg_88]

I'm sorry, not sure if I missed it or not but... you feed your leo 8 crickets EVERY day? I'm thinking about getting a gecko and I'm trying to research as much as possible before I actually do.

[@MikeTytula]

+MegamiSama88 No I feed him 8-10 like 2-3 times a week!

[@Meg_88]

Ah ok, thank you.

[@fionashepley478]

If the gecko is under a year old, feed it daily. If it is over a year old, feed it every other day. Feed them as many food items as they will eat in 15 minutes

[@whytho7907]

I see he's missing some toes what happened? Not being rude one of mine is missing toes as well

[@MikeTytula]

It's from me not knowing to bathe him and remove it when I first got him

[@ABioluminescentRavebat]

what's the set up? the names if you could

[@MikeTytula]

Sorry what are you talking?

[@hgsmile665]

Can a tank be too big for one leopard gecko? I have a 36'' 18'' 15''. I am getting one or two geckos in the summer. Would two females be good in this or is it best for one? the tank is 37.7 gallons

[@MikeTytula]

Hgsmile two females would be great for that

[@hgsmile665]

Thanks! Can't wait until summer now!

[@MikeTytula]

Hgsmile hahah right on!!

[@hannahlavalley4080]

I have a normal heat light that came with my starter kit, but I was told to buy another UV light separate, is the UV light really needed do you think I'm fine with the normal light?

[@hannahlavalley4080]

I'm thinking of returning the UV light and keeping the heat one that came with the kit

[@MikeTytula]

Don't return it! Chances are it didn't come with a UVB bulb....

[@audreyl5891]

Can I keep two females together in a 20 gallon long?

[@davinaubade8733]

Audrey L yes but i am not sure just ask leopard gecko talk

[@zoeyzee6261]

Try a thirty gallon or a twenty gallon wide for more floor space

[@Kluleess]

i agree with everything your shared. ;)

[@MikeTytula]

Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@mackenziewittmer6171]

I just recently purchased a baby bearded dragon and the lady at PetSmart said if you fed adult bearded dragons meal-worms they would eat them whole and the meal-worms would dig out a whole in the stomach of your beardie....... Do you know if that's true?

[@MikeTytula]

Kenzi W NO that is absolutely false! They never have and never will do that, please do not listen to them

[@mackenziewittmer6171]

Ok thanks!! I have been feeding him crickets so that's awesome!!! Thanks a lot!

[@MikeTytula]

Kenzi W No problem!

[@raging_crocodile2081]

I have always exclusively given my leopard geckos calcium with D3 is that a bad thing?

[@MikeTytula]

Yes that is a bad thing.. I would suggest switching immediately.

[@raging_crocodile2081]

+Mike Tytula What would happen to leopard geckos if they were only given D3?

[@MikeTytula]

James Cootsona D3 overdose basically

[@raging_crocodile2081]

Damn, I hope its not too late, my leopard geckos are both 4 years old.

[@iphonetography9469]

My setup was relatively cheap. I live in the U.S. . 10gal tank $14, small bark hide $4, under tank heater $15, water dish $4, mealworm dish $4, tupperware hides $2, 50ct mealworms $4, calcium powder with D3 $6, leopard gecko on sale at PetsMart $20. So all less than $100. I just bought a 20 gallon tank and some upgraded supplies and 2 more on sale leopard geckos for about $160. And the leopard geckos from PetsMart were in good health and are getting some good weight on them. Super easy to care for, i just scoop up the poop once a week and feed them daily because they are juveniles. You can see them here: tinypic.com/r/263bh3t/8

[@ahelpinghandnguyen5228]

Aww, they look so cute!

[@jordantate_]

How many can you keep in a 20 gallon tank and do they have to be fed live critters or can they just be fed commercial foods?

[@rachelabbott7376]

How many crickets should a baby eat daily? How many for an adult?

[@MikeTytula]

Rachel Abbott I would feed babies every two days and however many they will eat but stop around 10-12

[@ahelpinghandnguyen5228]

Bearded Dragon or Leopard Gecko? What are the differences, or pro and cons?

[@MikeTytula]

+AHelpingHand Nguyen Do some research man, you can weigh them all out

[@ahelpinghandnguyen5228]

+Mike Tytula Ok, thanks!

[@littlelink935]

Hi I have a 2 yrs old male all white he's with me for like 1yr now can I bring him another leo or will he kill it

[@fionashepley478]

Don't put in another make they will fight. Don't put in a female unless you want to breed

[@Jacob-fm3cm]

hi im getting a leopard gecko i bought sand for him should i change it or sand is ok

[@MikeTytula]

If it's a baby then I would certainly use repti carpet.

[@xxshadowysnowxx8949]

Change the sand no matter what age any age gecko can get impaction but babies are more prone

[@laurabutler8467]

what is the best substrate for the tank for beginners?

[@MikeTytula]

+Laura Butler Depends on what age the gecko is.

[@recentryan321]

What about housing multiples I heard that females could work

[@MikeTytula]

multiple females will work fine if you have enough space for them all. My buddy house 8 females in a 55 gallon, not that I recommend it, but it's possible

[@nathanjones229]

i want sani chips. is that ok? sorta like walnut shells. easy to pass through their system

[@krissnulgath3154]

No it's not ok.

[@diesal_one]

Don't use sani chips, Sand, or wood chips as they can be eaten by your lizard and get impacted which will kill them. I recommend using Eco Earth as it is one of the best substrates to use because if your lizard accidentally eats it, it won't cause any problems. I use that along with tile and some rocks I got from my front yard.

[@204cat1]

I have 1 baby female in a 20 gallon tank but soon I will have 2 :D a 20 gallon should be able to be their tank for life right ?! 🙈

[@MikeTytula]

DesireeRobynxo So long as you have enough hides they would be fine!

[@3cogirl]

20 gallons is perfect Eventually I may get another tank ~ Please look at my channel for advice☺️

[@morgananne1583]

I am planning on getting a Sunglow Leopard gecko, is the care for them the same as any ol' regular leopard gecko? Or do they require certain special care?

[@MikeTytula]

They are the same care

[@morgananne1583]

thank you hun

[@anonymouskirk7271]

Morgan Anne that is just a color morph. Like saying mikes is a high yellow but yes always same care

[@Tyrant2493]

what are the tanks dimensions, I really want to upgrade mine, mine are currently 20 L x 10 w x 16 h

[@MikeTytula]

I think mine is 24 long, and similar the other directions.

[@Tyrant2493]

thank you :), my terrariums desperately need an upgrade

[@MikeTytula]

Awesome!

[@bobbybuck8564]

For leopard geckos are u allowed to use beach chips or aspen

[@fionashepley478]

Don't use any loose substrate except maybe eco earth or the leopard gecko will get impacted

[@VisualVortex]

Never use wood chippings because their gullet could be pierced

[@finnflips1217]

How many time a week do ya u feed him and for baby's how much

[@fionashepley478]

Feed babies daily, juvies every other day, and adults every 3-4 days. Feed them as much as they'll eat in fifteen minutes :)

[@jackiemcgovern4526]

how often do you feed leopard geckos

[@MikeTytula]

3 times a week or so

[@nathanjabbar1822]

can u use led lights?

[@freddyvillasenor6952]

you can but turn it off at night just because it could stress them out if they are on all day .

[@evandoes19]

does anyone know what spot cleaning is

[@reptilez4life444]

+Evan Medel spot cleaning is when you clean out the feces everyday

[@asumman123]

could i have 2 baby females in a 10 gallon then upgrade to a 20 when they get bigger?

[@MikeTytula]

Nikolas Vaughn I would just buy the 20 right away

[@asumman123]

Mike Tytula alright thanks man. love your vids btw

[@MikeTytula]

Nikolas Vaughn No problem! And I'm glad you do!

[@KylieKenyon]

Where did you get your 15 gallon tank?

[@MikeTytula]

+Kylie Kenyon A local pet store

[@scottworrell9986]

that cave you have what is the name because its pretty cool!

[@niallstruthers2184]

Cozy cosa you can get it from lll reptile

[@MikeTytula]

Niall Struthers You bet!

[@hunterlafleur4726]

Should I leave the heat pad on all the time

[@freddyvillasenor6952]

thermostat is recommended just so it does not over heat just for safety.

[@hawk2324]

Yes it needs to be on 24/7 but use a thermostat. Just make sure your gecko also has a cool hide .

[@rickyzayas1085]

So would a 10 gallon be good for a female since they only grow 7-8 inches? Also which sex do you think is calmer/ less jumpy?

[@MikeTytula]

Ricardo Zayas I would go 15-20. And no it's not gender specific

[@rickyzayas1085]

oh okay thanks

[@Unluckey]

Mike Tytula Can you put leaves in a Leopard geckos $etup?

[@MikeTytula]

Hypeman If you want

[@animalguy9145]

where do you buy them any good websites

[@MikeTytula]

All over

+Bobby buck I use that. And no I wouldn't use either of the other two substrates you mentioned

I have a Leo, she seems to want to be in her hide a lot is that normal.What should I get for props around the tank

[@MikeTytula]

+Sean Sebastiao Yes they feel secure then. And whatever you want!

[@seansebastiao6925]

+Mike Tytula she is now not eating. And if she's stressed what should I do to calm her. Thanks for replying!

[@MikeTytula]

Sean Sebastiao Just leave her alone... toss crickets in a couple times a week until she is eating well

[@seansebastiao6925]

+Mike Tytula I do have a worm dish, should I just leave some meal worms in there in case she decides to eat again

[@MikeTytula]

Sean Sebastiao Go for it

[@MikeTytula]

Which ever you did more research on.

[@mikeytheking8199]

can I use lights bulbs and heat mat

[@embracethequantum4956]

You can use a heat mat they don't like light

[@anonymouskirk7271]

Alex Flores if it's the right temp 85-90 and don't have a light on at night

[@doxshift6727]

im thinking about getting one but i dont know what to do because you have this type cage but ive sen them just have like a pot of meal worms pot of water and paper on the bottom them a like a Tupperware container with coconut soil (or whatever that stuff is) in it, thats it and it seems simple and something i would like to do because its more easy but what about heat? do they have a heat mat under neath under the Tupperware container just please give me your opinion. thanks :)

[@MikeTytula]

+CoboGamer They can be kept either way this is much more of a pet, the breeders keep them in bins. And yes a heat mat

[@doxshift6727]

ok thanks ive watched other videos and if i get one im gonna make it in a proper one like yours :)

[@MikeTytula]

CoboGamer Right on good choice it's much more friendly and involves more interaction

[@doxshift6727]

yeah but i dont think i will be able to get one because the closest person who sell then are 2 hours away from me... :(

[@MikeTytula]

CoboGamer You can probably buy them online and get them shipped to you
