Depends on the size, I recommend a 16 gallon tank for baby’s and adult sized leopard geckos! Also recommend getting tanks with doors on the front! Why? It can stress the gecko out if your grabbing it from above. It could seem like your a bird trying to grab it witch could result in it dropping its tail!

Only thing i really have a problem with is the lighting. Leos are not nocturnal, they are crepuscular. They are most active from dawn and dusk. They do get that low amount of UVB during them times and is 100% beneficial to give your leo UVB. There are so many incidents out there where there Leo has MBD and could have helped a lot to have UVB. Now i cant blame you for having a different opinion because uvb is such a debated topic for Leos but i think it would have been good to at least let your viewers no that it is beneficial for them to have UVB. Also loose substrate is fine if your husbandry is on point, impaction is a secondary thing meaning there has to be something else that is wrong like the lighting witch helps your Leo digest its food, but i do agree for beginners i would not do loose substrate. and again just my opinion and i respect everyone's opinion. Everything i agree with what this man just said for beginners except the lighting thing, i think all Leos should have uvb. Great video all in all.

Heat mats are not a good heat source, overhead heating is much better for them. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin. Here’s a good video comparing heat sources kzbin.info/www/bejne/moati2NqqNabrs0
