Leopard Gecko Lighting & Supplements | WHAT I DO & USE | UPDATED

Hi Rebecca, good video!. Nice clear advice. I keep my lights on during the "day" to give my Geckos a day/night cycle. They all have plenty of shady hides to sleep in. Lights go off at 9pm and out they all pop ready for their adventures out of the vivs and terrariums. I always know who is super ready for food as they will be up at pawing the glass BEFORE the lights go off. I have one who has cottoned on to the idea if she gets up before all the others she will get first dibs lol. Hope you are keeping safe and well.

If you don’t need night heat then using a halogen or heat bulb vs dhp can help stimulate a sunrises and subset by having the heat bulb come on first and then the uv and jungle dawn. I am doing this in my crestie and corn snake enclosure and it’s working real well. I turn the uv and jd off half an hour or so before the heat.

[@Abhorable]

Hey Leopard Gecko! I've been watching your channel on and off for years. I got my first leo, Phoenix, back in 2015. She's been doing pretty well aside from some housing issues from her source(as I was not aware of the disturbing liabilities of Petco). Regardless, I did most of my research through you. Through the years, my care has changed, but I've been a long time lurker in my times of change. Very recently, I was very interested in getting a second Leo. Their name is currently undecided(so if anyone has suggestions, I'm very open to them) and they appear to be a gorgeous little Raptor Albino. I'd just like to leave a quick thanks for getting me into the reptile hobby, and I plan on breeding in the next few years when my Raptor is up to size.

[@nightinggale6470]

You absolutely should not be breeding geckos you don’t know the exact genetics of, and especially not a petco gecko. Otherwise the babies could end up deformed. There are lots of other reasons not to breed as well.

I have a question, if I leave a dish with Calcium (no D3) in a Leopard Gecko tank, do I still have to dust the insects?

Yes, you still need to dust the insects. Dust with calcium every other feeding and vitamins every three feedings. Or Repashy Calcium Plus every feeding. The calcium dish isn’t necessary.

[@MintStoney]

Do you have a video about the best substrates to use or which ones you recommend? And what are the best or some good decor/houses when you're a college kid on a budget. I have a 3 year old leopard gecko and I want to change her bedding to something more similar to desert but also something safe for her. I've tried to do research on substrate, but some sites say any is good as long as they are healthy, have a good diet, and have a heating mat. But then others say sand is never good because of impaction. So I am just curious what you or any recommends for an adult leo. I do have a heating mat and a uvb/uva light for her. I also want to add that I check the area where the mat is often to make sure it's still warm, but not hot to where I think she might burn.

[@isisvortigern5869]

I literally watched your old video yesterday and thought whether this is still applicable. Thanks so much!!! I have one question left. If you put calcium in the terrarium, do you need to put calcium on their food? If so, what do you do with the vitamins?

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Perfect timing :) So it always helps to add in a bit of calcium here and there. With a baby where you're feeding daily, I would stick to arcadia's supplementing schedule on their site. If I use calcium on one feed I wont use the vitamin powder :)

[@nightinggale6470]

It depends on a few factors (such as the distance of the basking spot from the bulb), but yes, 10% is usually too strong. For more information google ‘uvb lighting guide leopard gecko Reddit’ and check out the first thing that comes up.

[@kbs36]

Hello! Thank you for all this valuable information. Do you still use a heat lamp if you use the Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED Bar?

[@nightinggale6470]

Yes, you still need a heat lamp (ideally a halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat). LED is for visible light and live plants.

[@squoop]

This is really helpfull, thanks!

[@leopardgeckotalk]

No problem :D

[@magicalcraftymama8246]

How long do you keep the heat on? Should the Arcadia deep heat projector 50W be kept on at night?

[@nightinggale6470]

They generally don’t need heat at night, a temperature drop is fine. I personally keep mine on 24/7 but only because my gecko doesn’t use it during the day. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat would be ideal, though, they’re actually more natural and beneficial than DHPs. The levels of IRA and IRB they produce more closely mimic the sun (DHPs produce barely any IRA, the most beneficial wavelength).

[@Mace2124]

I'm having some trouble finding the correct UVB light for my leopard gecko. If it helps I'm located in the United States, as it seems some products are international. She is in a 36x18x18, wondering how long the UVB light should be, what percentage of strength it should be and where it should be placed on the top of the terrarium. Can anyone help out with this? I'd greatly appreciate it!

[@Mace2124]

Found my answer. Reptisun 5.0uvb 18 inches long, with a Reptisun T8 20-in hood. This UVB setup is the perfect dimensions for a 36x18x18

[@nightinggale6470]

Assuming you have a mesh lid, with a T8 bulb, make sure the basking spot is 6” away.

[@Mace2124]

@@nightinggale6470 indeed it is a mesh lid, exoterra tankm As it is a leopard gecko there is not a whole lot of basking done by them. But the closest she could get to the light at her highest point of the cage would be about 8 inches away from the bulb. It's only been a week since UVB installation and she is already more active with a more vivacious appetite. Definitely something to this UVB and leopard geckos. Wish it was studied more.

[@malelsawy4252]

So I have a dish for my gecko, Lady. It’s just plain calcium in her enclosure. I’ve also been dusting her foods according to the feeding schedule video you put out a while ago! Should the calcium I dust with during feedings have D3 until I get a lighting setup?

[@nightinggale6470]

I’d remove the calcium dish, they’re completely unnecessary with dusting and can potentially be detrimental if the gecko consumes too much. Dust with calcium every other feeding and vitamins every three feedings. One of your supplements should have d3 until you get UVB.

do you really need a uvb light if you already have a deep heat projector? can you go for led light+deep heat arcadia?

I strongly recommend using both UVB and a halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat (better than DHPs). Then your gecko will have IRA, IRB, and UVB. UVB bulbs and halogen bulbs/DHPs have different purposes, and both are very beneficial.

Do you need uvb with the supplements that you showed in this vid

[@nightinggale6470]

Arcadia’s supplements are definitely intended to be used in conjunction with UVB. They do have a revitalize d3 supplement, although UVB is very beneficial and strongly recommended regardless.

Is there a way to keep a humid hide for a leopard gecko always humid? I always have to spray it every so often

[@nightinggale6470]

I don’t think there’s a way to keep it constantly humid. You can try pouring water into it and mixing it in rather than spraying it, it might stay humid for longer. Just don’t make it soaking wet. Use reptisoil or organic top soil without fertilizer for the substrate.
