[@darringerringer8560]

I'm really hurt that he truly thought that Godzilla was an original name for a lizard smh

[@owlfan3361]

darrin gerringer he can name it what ever he wants

[@AK-tv2jt]

You care about the name because?

[@troyscottbaldwin]

HUMOR.

[@matleighwright7424]

🦉Brianna_owlfan🦉 It. Is. A. Joke.

[@matleighwright7424]

Someone Who is no one It is a joke

[@lucywyke-smith7295]

i would recommend to make sure he has the right vitamins and supplements. what i do is dust my crickets w vitamin powder and not my mealworms. i got a bottle cap and put a little bit of calcium powder in there so when he wants it he can just go up and get it.

[@fernlok1]

Congratulations for your new gecko! Remember never to use sand for the tank because it clogs their lungs. What's worst is that, if you feed it crickets on the sand; the sand will stick to the cricket and when they eat it; the particles in the sand will irritate the mouth of the gecko and give it mouth rot. Always use dirt and coco fiber to keep them hydrated.

[@rachel-uj5sk]

hes not even using sand so this comment is very unnecessary.

[@charlotteshoyo4654]

#1 Leo’s should not have a uvb light they are nocturnal so they don’t need sun/it will burn them as well #2 ik your Leo is an adult by now but you shouldn’t keep a baby Leo in that big tank it will stress them out so I recommend to just put baby Leo’s in a plastic ben Lastly #3 You should put more into that cage like branches from a pet store or something because Leo’s normals don’t climb but they surely will if u let them which will also be great. :)

[@sashimi2424]

Wow! Your little guy came out pretty early! It took mine a whole month and 2 weeks to get used to me simply being next to his tank. Now he is a sweet and friendly thing. However he still can't find the worms in the bowl for the life of him

[@alex-vr2ll]

ReptileMan 0912 you feed your leopard gecko worms ...?

[@LijahDee]

Thats not a regular morph its actually a mack snow

[@Ch33sed00dl3]

Elijah Delgado PetSmart names all morphs "spots" it's really funny actually I got a albino gecko at PetSmart for 20$

[@ben3977]

Elijah Delgado it's not Mack snow

[@mbunch87]

Yeah I got a hypo albino temper Mack for like 30 bucks at petsmart. He's a dope with no personality compared to some others. Lol

[@animalmaster8930]

Elijah Delgado no that’s a regular

[@venom3211]

Elijah Delgado no its a bell albino

[@LitoMike]

So the origin of this gecko is he saw a weird 2010 video saying leopard geckos are the best. Whatever, it's a leopard gecko, its amazing

[@SmemilyJemily]

1 he needs more hides 2 I recommend hanging leaves 3 he needs a heat pad NO HEAT LAMPS they can burn their skin they take heat in in the belly 4 his heat needs to be around 85-90 I suggest 85 until he gets a little bigger 5 be sure he gets a few crickets it’s basically a salad to them (worms are perfect at that age) 6 you did the same thing I did when I got one just make sure to do these things it’s kinda required (not the decoration or food stuff but definitely more hides they need one on the cool side one on warms and one on the middle and a shedding hide on warm)

[@Lilymay829]

Actually, heat lamps are perfect, as long as they have a cooler hide.

[@SmemilyJemily]

Richie Tozier no the heat lamps need to make no light just heat, leopard geckos take heat from their stomachs

[@dagheidr]

Please read this, when he gets bigger give him "gut loaded super worms" because that's a good source of protein, crickets don't do anything for them and are basically just a snack, make sure to calcium them about every other day. You may already know this but, uvb's don't do anything for them besides helping their color stay vibrant and pretty, their heat pad is their primary source of heat because they absorb heat through their bellies. And please remember not to use sand because it can kill them. Thanks for your time, I hope this helped :)

[@fuckass3557]

Bohemiaaah I wanna say Somthing about the sand.. yet I don't have mine in sand, sand can be used in exception, as long as you tong feed it's ok! :)

[@thenumber1elite652]

I don't see sand

[@elitescorpion24]

Crickets are load of calcium and are good hunting food

[@whathasmylifebecome9033]

Put a heat pad under his warm hide to provide belly heat. Also, geckos don't need extra UV light and there should actually be a colder more moist side of the tank for shedding where the moist hide is. If you do keep the lights, take one away so that there's a gradient decline in temperature the further down he goes in the cage. This prevents "stuck shed" which seals the geckos mouth and eyes shut.

[@deckyofficial2416]

Don't use sand it will cause impaction I tried cal sand and it still happened

[@brynshadow8792]

Kontinon king #2 That's a reptile mat, not sand.

[@skull7105]

Kontinon king not Official your the stupid one

[@sakshamsingh2209]

That’s a mat. I don’t see sand anywhere

[@mattsstuffanimation565]

Kontinon king not Official reptile Capet dude

[@oogway9895]

are you actually that stupid? thats damn reptile carpet moron

[@brando7593]

There is no such thing as "fancy leopard geckos" man and that looks like a snow morph.

[@karlusalbirtutshafiz]

yeah but petsmart likes to trick people by putting naming geckos with more complicated designs fancy

[@sebakyster]

Theres rarer morphs, but Its like some of them, like the giant morph

[@dwwdd9929]

ANTAGONIZED that's what they're called at petsmart because they don't know the morph, all they know is that they have a "fancy" pattern.

[@exoticreptileparadise9365]

Seba Sin Nombre :v dont mean to cause anything but giant is but isnt a morph i think he means like mack snow, normal,diablo blanco,black pearl,raptor,lavender,apter,gem snow,super mavk snow i yhink i got my point across

[@kylier8599]

ANTAGONIZED YES THERE IS!!!!!!!!!!!! IVE GOT ONE IN MY ROOM NOW!!!!

[@CH-hl9ex]

I would recommend getting a heat mat instead of an overhead light. Heat lamps can actually harm leopard geckos. Also, that tank is WAY too big for that tiny leopard gecko. That's a really pretty gecko, though

[@alexgiauque7647]

A tip: Try not to use the carpet for the ground... the geckos claws can get stuck on it also it’s hard for it to get cleaned. I know it’s ugly but the best is paper towels. You can clean it faster and it has no problems with it. Don’t need to follow what I say just a small tip.

[@joseramonalvarado3745]

Ya That’s true

[@agustintorres4371]

I named my chihuahua “Clifford the big red dog”

[@suicidalgaming3425]

By the way, fancy leopard geckos aren't a morph. There just lighter colors.

[@-accountbanned-8330]

Your cage is really good you should add some more stuff to it like frog moss or some fake vines

[@nikosroom1913]

Aww he's so cute! I just got my leopard gecko too! They are the best aren't they?! Name him Neil (Armstrong) ;P

[@asianbatman555]

+Leila's Zoo LOl thx, I saw your reptile expo vid, I wish I could've gone to my local one this week lol

[@lillianlunt6767]

I'm watching people unbox leopard geckos with my leopard gecko joy and if I stop watching them and move to a different video she screams so...

[@larsdamen9115]

Now I just need to get mine!! so cute!! love him!!

[@leahjvr3245]

He is so Beautyful!

[@zoeyzee6261]

Unless you don't get natural lightning from outside, I recommend you don't use the light.

[@bjornzek]

cartoon fanatic it's a heat lamp so it doesn't freeze

[@kekelala4]

+Mars_Anze they get heat from their stomachs though?

[@kekelala4]

TRES-4 read my comment above

[@tabithascheibe8922]

kol beb Leopard geckos prefer heat on their stomachs, not produce it. He also has reptile carpet, which absorbs the heat and provides heat on their stomach, if he used a heat pad it would burn through to much and hurt the gecko. You can tell from red marks on feet or belly.

[@avocado965]

A good thing for leopard geckos to eat is Dubia roaches. They are loaded with protein and very good for lizards. Also, I’m sooooo glad you’re not using sand like many misinformed people do.

[@demetriixx9964]

Hello I have a question. I just got my gecko today and I was wondering if they should have any light at all. In my room it’s basically pitch black so I have my window open which doesn’t do much at all. Do you think he is okay in my very dark room at night?

[@Mr.chase_aedit]

In such a big tank u should add more hides cause they rlly like to hide but other then that good tank and ADORABLE 🥰 GECKO

[@rustEsadface73]

Try to make him eat on his one for a strong response... Since he's a baby it's ok for him to have a bowl for mealworms but try to make him "hunt" for it... And also you need to have a pure calcium filled dish for it.

[@lucywyke-smith7295]

i would primarily use mealworms whilst he is growing to fatten that skinny little tail up but dont forget to feed him crickets as well

[@kiazzi5088]

You know what's funny? I have the same tree hide and pink dish for my baby leopard gecko 😂

[@nothingnothing9863]

You should get more, I keep five Leopard Geckos in a 40 gallon breeder, and they get along very nicely

[@fionashepley478]

I wouldn’t keep any more than four in there... They’re all female, right?

[@nothingnothing9863]

Fiona Shepley One male and four females, I'm a starting breeder. ^^ I'm aware that males fight

[@nothingnothing9863]

Fiona Shepley One male and four female. They get along great, no breeding problems either.

[@jessydee8674]

I got a leo today and was told not to handle him or feed him cuz 'the stress will shock him'. Well, I tried anyway and he was so curious, licking me to investigate and he ate 5 mealies (first meal in a whole day or 2)

[@martinezrblx6724]

Crickets have a highly amount of nutrients than mealworms

[@asianbatman555]

+Elite Dunkachino115 That's true, if you watch my other vids you'll see that I usually feed crickets and mealworms every 3rd/4th day. Thanks for watching!

[@TrevorPhillips2024]

1:46

[@LijahDee]

A super snow is all white with black stripes. But mack snows also have shades of yellow

[@asianbatman555]

+Elijah Delgado But aren't Mack Snows supposed to be a lot lighter in colour until they get around 6-7 inches? And then after that they start getting more and more yellow. Because mine has almost no white on it's back. You could be right though, I'll ask a few more people.

[@fordbennett5326]

Why isn't your Under-Tank-Heater under your tank?

[@kaijemarti5372]

There are some that you can put inside the enclosure, I use those but I don't think they should be used on reptiles carpet.

[@mnti3827]

Leopard geckos prefer to have heat pads rather heat lamps since it can hurt their eyesight

[@animalmaster8930]

Loadean that’s not always true.

[@lavender_z3]

Leopard Geckos do not need additional light, only natural.

[@advikalaghari413]

he's soooo skinny!! petsmart clearly wasnt feeding him enough

[@Gabrielle.g]

kasi ! He is a baby babies r usually small

[@asianbatman555]

+Emmanuel Plascencia i do make him eat on his own, I feed him crickets that he has to hunt almost everyday. The calcium dish only has mealworms if I know I'm going to be super busy, for example if I have a part to go to right after school and I can't feed him until I get back I'll give him 2 mealworms in the dish. Usually it just has calcium inside.

[@pretentiousnoob3268]

Just to let you know when his tail is up like that it means he is scared but it is normal for a brand new habitat

[@pretentiousnoob3268]

And also try to fatten up his tail

[@Aliazzzzz]

can you do a shoutout for me

[@thegeekonfleek2796]

the lamp is bad for his eyes, leos have really sensitive eye's ! Not to mention the sand is a horrible substrate for them. plz do research !

[@MrMine-ow2kt]

well he basically saved it

[@bigsmoke9948]

dude leopard gecko don't need Uvb light

[@aspirindamage5152]

no, they shouldn't HAVE light, they don't like it

[@theturtletortoisekid9753]

yal are some dumb ass people they have to have uvb or they will die that's why when u but a lepord geogo kit it comes with a heat lamp aka uvb

[@aspirindamage5152]

The turtle tortoise kid good b8 you goofball

[@theturtletortoisekid9753]

oh sorry

[@jackdk970]

Genji Otaku exactly

[@sobek4548]

that looks like my leopard gecko when he was a baby

[@liamwilson8838]

next time go to reptile shops or reptile expos no petsmart!!!!!!!

[@fiweekiwee8419]

Peewdieguy LIT I got mine from petsmart, he's doing fine

[@fionashepley478]

Not all petsmarts are bad, mine's great! BTW, UVB is very beneficial :)

[@calebhorner4081]

Fiona Shepley Leopard geckos do not need it tho... The reason people don't want to support petsmart is because it's a corrupt company and overall just care about money and not how the animals are treated, while some petsmarts are better than others, overall they aren't the best

[@damiantroyer4157]

Peewdieguy LIT Agree

[@Ch33sed00dl3]

Peewdieguy LIT SAVE THE GECKO FROM PETSMART HELP THEM LIVE

[@derekverastek2140]

I had one a few years ago it was so nice and loved me and died on my birthday and it was horrible I cried for the longest time

[@alli3.m0rris]

i got mine i few days ago and she literally looks IDENTICAL to him!

[@ryankwin]

Allie Abbott Maybe the same morph

[@dillonsdillon7962]

that leopard gecko is not a normal. and fancy leopard geckos are a load of crap. PetSmart is a horrible place to get reptiles

[@juno9607]

Exotic keeper My Petsmart is actually really good. It might be cause I live in Canada though.

[@YungMarty]

Well look at his videos the Leopard looks healthy and fine in this video when he just got it and Now is doing fine so stop shitting on pet stores not all are the same

[@scraggboye140]

The reptile mini zoo its actually good to get from pet smart because you are saving the animal from torture.

[@gurleent5496]

scraggboye but then they get money that they use to breed more animals. So it's a hard choice

[@animalmaster8930]

Dillons fishing yes he is.

[@nicknathu5981]

I've got the shyest gecko on the planet, mine has been here for 3 days and still hasn't come out his warm hide

[@animalmaster8930]

Nick Nathu that’s normal. My gecko did that, my sisters gecko did that, and all of my friends geckos did that.

[@tyovo1540]

Don't forget to dust their food in calcium and vitamin d powder

[@bunnybeane1666]

I named mine Jingle, because i got him as a christmas gift

[@supyo9845]

I want to do a story time onhow I saved a leopard gecko from a petco. She had so much stuck shed , she was so skinny, and she looked so bad, I dont have a picture because of how much time I spent researching about mbd and parasites and I had to go to like 3 vet checks and I was spending so much time on her health I didnt have alot of time to do picture taking, yk. I really wanna do a storytime on her story and the experience but I dont feel like it'll get much. I dont wanna make a vid if it wont go anywhere, but yea. I wanna share her story

[@psykadelik8399]

that light though...LG's dont like strong lights

[@madisonfranco3822]

Hello, I was wondering if the heat may if you are using said it was a U.T.H (under tank heater) because if it is than it should be underneath the tank. And also leopard geckos don't bad because light hurts their eyes, they are very sensitive to light. I would highly recommend to get rid of the light due to the health risks of the gecko. And I would also let you know he should have a bowl of calcium powder, they eat it the way it is right out of the bowl. As a leopard gecko owner I hope you take these tips and precautions and use them to you and your geckos advantages. Good luck!

[@madisonfranco3822]

I meant heat mat in the first sentence and bask instead of bad in the 4th sentence!

[@paulsong2506]

youre so lucky that he started eating right away, mine took like two weeks to start eating

[@asianbatman555]

+Paul Song Oh, how long have you been keeping yours?

[@paulsong2506]

+AsianBatman I got him a year ago

[@bornfromfire6234]

He will be so happy just like my baby leopard gecko

[@tiajunkert9457]

I have a question, would using a heat lamp and a heat may be too much for a leopard gecko? I’m getting one next week and I need to know :)

[@ellen4583]

Tia Junkert hey! I have three :) so. You can use the lamp during the day and the mat at night but both is too much at once.

[@ellen4583]

It’ll also help them develop a sleep schedule as it’ll be like a night cycle

[@Audrey-ug7jg]

they do better off without lights and a smaller cage but not a really big deal i don't think..

[@ssswrv1090]

‘Pet smart kid gets educated from comment section’

[@SuperHamstertime]

I remember when I got mine!

[@isabellaslack7220]

>petsmart>godzilla>sand>light Holy shit dude, you fucked everything up.

[@SoggyNachos18]

Just a heating pad should be good for Godzilla because leopard geckos take in heat from their stomachs

[@LijahDee]

It can also be a mixed morph which happens alot

[@asianbatman555]

+Elijah Delgado Maybe. I'm actually going to make a video regarding this, and I'll use this screenshot would you like me to blur out your name?

[@hookoffthejab1]

I got mine at kahoots pet store and they gave me this cool little takeout style box

[@GaHaGamer6155]

It's also the name of a legendary japanese car. So that may be his reference who knows. It's a mack snow looking morph

[@fuckass3557]

Leopard geckos don't need lights man

[@oliviazubel1648]

Sorry, leopard geckos eyesight Are 350 times more sensitive then our eyes and they don't require a large light or heat light at all and even if they did you shouldn't put it in the middle area of the enclosure because then they have nowhere to escape from the heat if they want to and that can be very health risky for them

[@Aidancordell]

Olivia Zubel what do they do when they see the sun

[@ashtonperez1378]

ExoticLuck they hide they are not out during the day usually mine only comes out at night

[@Aidancordell]

Ashton Perez oh ok thanks

[@chaon4323]

one small step for gecko one giant leep for gecko kind

[@elinamoodley5946]

Awwwww so cute, my friend has one too😍

[@kellybirdputt4827]

1 you dont need lights for a gecko it is harmfull to their eyes because they are nocturnal, 2 you need a dish of calcium, and 3 meal worms should not be a staple diet

[@kellybirdputt4827]

Elisa actually all they need is the normal lighting you have in your room definitely not strong uv lights. they do not bask, and strong lights directly over their tank can be irritating. yes they do need a day night cycle, but overly bright lights can cause serious stress.

[@doktorfrogg0779]

I just got one 4 days ago and he's called Logan he has bites me once because of stress but he is lovely now he likes to be held I feed him mealworms (afew in his bowl everyday incase of hunger) and cricket things I forgot the name

[@bestnightfilms6124]

I have a question, i will not use lights cause its not good for the lizard but i'm asking, is it alright to just use a heat pad under the hot hide or will i need another heat pad? I'm planning to get a 20 gallon tank

[@cammanm8]

Geckos are sensitive to light, I would suggest a dimmer light

[@fionashepley478]

Id suggest no light

[@brooklynbartlett8651]

+Leo Life The only light suitable for a leopard gecko is the infared, they are invisible to Leo's :)

[@AbsoluteTrash_]

+Brooke Paige B Ceramic would be better emits no light at all only heat

[@fionashepley478]

+Brooke Paige B true but still, leopard geckos arent meant to bask and they need belly heat to digest food

[@dawn5785]

Wow he ate as soon as you got him

[@lea_e3242]

Meal worms may be slow, but they serve no supply of healthy nutrients for the gecko. You really have no idea what’s right for your geck

[@erikdino9358]

Feed then diverse bugs like Dubia roaches and crickets and meal worms

[@fionashepley478]

Leopard geckos are better off without a lamp

[@fionashepley478]

Nvm I saw another comment

[@fionashepley478]

You could try a ceramic heat emitter instead of a lamp. They don't emmit light, which is good

[@neesttyy8963]

I've had my leopherd gecko for 2 years now, and I got him at pet smart

[@pumpkinman5904]

guys I just saw that the thing he put on floor for lepord gecko isn't sand it's heat mat

[@animalmaster8930]

Sahibjit Singh it’s a repti carpwt

[@animalmaster8930]

Carpet*

[@sibbo-xe9uu]

leopard geckos aren't supposed to have a basking light or even a normal light

[@angiemas5066]

sibbo 1111 they necee heat pads, they re cold blooded

[@xexclude]

Okay uhhhh they are uhhhh do your research

[@gingerjohnson865]

sibbo 1111 they can have a light that they can't see on the tank!

[@TsubomiKido_hoodie]

they need at least an ambient light in the room 12 hours a day so they know when it's day and night, so they also know when to be awake and when to be asleep.

[@fionashepley478]

There's no such thing as a light they can't see... are you talking about a red light? It's been proven they CAN see it.

[@gexx9790]

Having lights on is not a good idea because they absorb heat from there stomach and another thing there eyes are over 300 times more sensitive then ours so think about that when you put a bright light in there terrarium

[@asianbatman555]

Did you watch my recent vid where I replaced the light?

[@Bullseye-fi6gc]

I have everything in my tank that you have in yours

[@ghostbones137]

What a cutie!

[@Richard-gw7ix]

I know right he's so cute

[@dani.2482]

I would highly recommend you put more things in your tank like fake plants 🌱ect( also hope you have a heat mat and thermostat) , try to let him chase his food in order to learn how to hunt , you also need to dust his food in calcium and vitamin and minerals , idk how u didn’t know that 🤣😜

[@spongebobgirl2938]

I’m sorry but I recommend you get s better platform for his tank to sit on and not half way off the dresser I’m not hating just an option

[@leonam6654]

Omgggg... Godzilla look very similar to my Oolong, I got her the same tree and log too xD. I only had her for a year now.

[@malicious81]

Oolong, that's a awesome name

[@kokafizix7905]

thats a cool tank but my advice would be to add some more real rocks to it to liven the sand up uno but all in all hes got some hiding spots and shit tanks massive maybe get him a friend dude then that gecko will be living large

[@kokafizix7905]

try to breed him dawg seriously

[@mr_paco772]

That’s a nice lookin gecko

[@wuy9suoi]

He got nice color tho lol

[@theexotickeeper9487]

I wanted to name mine Godzilla but then I named it frieza

[@Aidancordell]

put a heat pad in there

[@fionashepley478]

It needs to be underneath, not in.

awwwwww lizards are so cute, ok getting a created gecko

[@strangechild3171]
