MEET MY NEW MINI GECKOS! HOW TO SETUP A DESERT TERRARIUM!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you for watching! What do you think of my new elegant geckos (Stenodactylus sthenodactylus)?! I love them! They have so much personality and I find it so cool that they dig little tunnels and burrows everywhere! Feeding them is also very entertaining as they are quite active little hunters in a small package! Don't forget to answer today's Q of the D and thank you to Exo Terra for sponsoring today's video!

[@The-guys-dostuff]

Hi

[@Reptiliatus]

@@The-guys-dostuff hi!

[@enchantmentherps485]

QOTD: I would use the outback red desert rock substrate to make an enclosure with a tunnel system for a woma python.

[@reidthepeep]

My wife and I had a few of these guys, they were great. They're quirky, vocal little fellows. If they thought their misting was late, they would come out and chirp until I sprayed. Also, if you spook one, it'll actually run around the cage screaming! They can also be really sociable. One of our three would climb onto your hand if you offered it.

[@ryancook4771]

Super cool. I’d never seen these guys before. It’s always awesome to learn something new. Thank you for the gift of knowledge Dayyan!

[@smitty5780]

I can imagine during pangaea era, that the species definitely correlated with the Paroedura pictus.

[@Ming2311]

first i have to say that this is genius! second, wich kind of stones do you use? You brought me some good ideas, for new terrariums thank you.

[@Darkovoxo]

wow i need to steal your idea and make enclosure like this for mine elegant geckos

[@Reptiliatus]

Go for it! 😊👍🏼

[@harlowcreek]

Stenos are criminally underrated

[@bene.4384]

Love you videos man but did you wash the rocks because you always inspire to love new animals and if I would ever get it I would love to know your opinion.😊

[@Reptiliatus]

They were clean yes! That being said, it’s debatable how much you really need to worry about such things.

[@wilsoncaban1580]

It cool like it ,would the background dry up and fall?

[@ashlynnbuschschulte6631]

With the grasses you picked, how do you make sure there is nothing bad for the animals on them. I’ve always been told never to get stuff from outside for my reptiles unless they are boiled or sanitized!

Maybe someday 😊

[@Riley-xp5dt]

Can you do a video on leachianus geckos

[@Reptiliatus]

Sure! Hopefully soon!

[@erintraicene7422]

Can you comment to the longevity of this technique ? Would there be a chance it would eventually crumble or does it harden enough it becomes stone like? Remaining sturdy? Does misting have any affect on it?

[@caryelizabeth624]

I would also love to see a follow up video with an update on how this is holding up!

[@jayc7660]

From my experience with this exact sand and technique it becomes very stone like and doesnt crumble if you make sure to use enough of the wet substrate to secure things like shelves to make them secure

[@caryelizabeth624]

@@jayc7660 That is good to know!! Thank you so much!

[@kaimie]

I used zoo med excavator clay to kind of glue a stack of rocks to make a ramp and after a couple months it did come loose and only doing some medium misting here and there. So I would be afraid to stack something so high with clay. I would have probably stuck the rocks with pond foam and then pack the clay around that. Unless there is something different with the exoterra clay

[@RC_Murphy]

Omg! I would take that substrate to make a tortoise playground for my Russian tortoise, Luka. He loves to climb, and his enclosure is in need of a refresh to keep him entertained.

[@Reptiliatus]

That’s a super neat idea! Thanks for sharing! 😊🐢

[@Catsmeow659]

I would do a massive fix up for my bearded dragon - Kevin. His 4x2x2 is bio active but it just feels blah! It needs some real work done. I have debated for years of n getting the exoTerra product but now I think your video helped make the decision. Thanks so much!

[@LittleBeastyReptiles]

I love the stone desert for sculpting arid designs! I have a 18x18x18 that I I set up using this substrate but I haven’t found the perfect gecko for it yet! I’d love a frog eyed/ wonder gecko but I can’t find any captive bred here in the US

[@loriw2661]

Wow, what a cool enclosure. I love the way you used the clay to build up the stones. I don’t know anything about clay so I was wondering if it will dry, crumble and get too soft to stay in place. Or does it harden well? I’m sure I should know this as clay is used to make things like bowls, etc., but those are fired as part of the process. Just wondering. Those geckos are absolutely adorable!!🦎❤️🦎

[@cresentcreatures]

Thought the same. Love the idea but I would keep an extra eye on it since clay dries out and you don't want a gecko to end up underneath 😔

[@Butterfly-mt5ml]

I just adore your videos. You actually teach facts about the species which is what I love. I love learning about different species (even though I’ll probably never own most of them). You’re such an awesome pet owner and I don’t think I could say that enough! You’ve got a new fan 🙋🏾‍♀️…. And a new Patron 😄 Btw, the layout of your new enclosure looks amazing! Well done! 😊

[@babynoodle42]

I’ve never even heard of these geckos, they’re gorgeous. Their personality reminds me of my little western banded gecko who looks like a micro leopard gecko. Edit: the Sonoran stone desert is so cool I live in the Sonoran desert. Edit 2: QOTD: I would 100% make an enclosure with little burrows and some native succulents for my western banded gecko when she gets bigger she’s smaller than a newborn crestie right now. So she’s on paper towel so I can monitor her growth better.

[@thechickenwizard8172]

I have a Texas banded gecko, I can certainly vouche for their wonderful personalities! Her inquisitive attitude is definitely seen in these little dune geckos too

[@babynoodle42]

@@thechickenwizard8172 I feel like banded geckos are criminally underrated, they’re so lovely and funny. Also really beautiful 😍 I don’t think a lot of people are working on captive breeding with them but I’d love to see them more

[@coleburrow9985]

Always wonderful to see others working with coleonyx! I have a roughly three year old female and she is just splendid, easily my favorite gecko to work with. Every evening or night that I enter her room she's up watching me either waiting for food or just seeing what I'm up to, for such a small gecko her curious and bold nature is truly hard to miss! Although I currently only have one in the future I would love to work with more and even breed them, for such wonderful lizards their underrepresentation in herpetoculture stuns me! Thankfully it does seem like at least western and central american's are beginning to catch on though!

[@ReptilesRule16]

I love coleonyx species. I can’t keep them because I like in California though. I have a leopard gecko

[@critterlovermaria506]

Great enclosure build! As for the QOTD, your build inspired me. I would take that substrate and mix it up into clay to make a couple of caverns for my Uromastyx. He is just a baby now but when he is ready for his adult enclosure I have a plan to use that Stone Desert substrate in the build because it is so versatile. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@markkaracsonyi8822]

[@ingeniouspixie]

I would make a "cliff" wall with a cave or two for my Rankins Dragon! 😍 I really like the look of this set up. The dry grass was genius. Also adorable geckos, I look forward to learning more about them through your videos!

[@Reptiliatus]

That’s a great idea! Thank you so much! 😊🙏🏼🌾🦎

[@loriw2661]

Haha that’s such an awesome idea!

[@coffee_gaming]

The grass in the clay - substrate is brilliant. My enclosures for my leopard geckos are a bit short in length but they are in great shape front opening what do you think about a "secure" second level with a textured ramp for grip? Each level will have a height of 15cm

[@cmginfinity18]

Now that I know this substrate exists I may get it for my collared lizard and build him a background. What's a good place to get it from online?

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video as always. I would add and construct this stuff to my Uromastyx tank.

[@Reptiliatus]

Awesome! Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@recon_M]

Hey got a question,i have a pair of leopard geckos and i pair them and the male bleed and i think is from his male part but is not sticking out... what is the problem if you know...

[@_mikolaj_]

I have 1 question about use of this substrate as, well, clay Do you happen to know How many years can such wall stay strong?

[@zacktory161]

Hmm, the Enclosure looks nice, but also too small for a pair of those. Are you going to seperate them after breeding? It really doesnt look like the female could escape the male, in this small space enough, so i would double the lengh of the terrarium or build another enclosure to seperate them outside their breeding season.

[@amphibian7359]

Question of The Day: The thing that immediately came to mind after seeing the clay was making an ancient mural. I think it would be so cool to have an enclosure with cave murals as accents.

[@Reptiliatus]

Awesome!

[@triniscaper3824]

Honestly would try this substrate in and aquarium, not sure how well it would hold underwater so I'd do a little testing but would love to see plecos using it to excavate there own caves

10/10. Amazing scape. Also I'm not really sure what I would make with that substrate.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼! Possibilities are plenty!

[@BeautyDaughtMom]

FYI, just an idea when it comes to decorating… When it comes to the backdrop, if you make the mixture a little more moist than normal, after you press the mixture into the backdrop, you could take the sand mixture you’re using (or any other, in a variety of colors, even blue & yellow to simulate the sky & sun) & press those into the still wet backdrop. As it’s a mixture that has clay, so long as it has enough moisture to still be mailable, anything you press into it should adhere & become a permanent fixture once dried. You could even use little pebbles, colored stones, gems, crystals, etc. to jazz things up. Just thought I would mention that in case you ever wanted to utilize what you already have to make an even more unique backdrop. And remember, anything that can go into (grasses, light branches, stones, sand, etc.) the mixture, supporting its weight (and obviously is animal safe) you can use to give even more depth & creativity to your enclosures. I’m betting the animals would love the visual stimulation, as well. Much love to you, sweetie! *hugs* Shelbie xo 😘🥰

[@Kiisseli1]

What a beautiful enclosure, that takes talent to build such a naturalistic looking home for those little cuties. I'm hoping to see more videos of them in the future. That little female is quite a huntress.

I love the dried grass! I would love to use that substrate and some others to make a habitat for a vinegaroon they are fascinating.

[@kerseykrewzoo]

I’m totally going to have to get some of that Stone Desert mix to make an awesome enclosure for my leopard geckos and my bearded dragons. I may even use some similarly to what you’ve done for my mourning geckos so they have more ledges and basking and hiding areas. I bet I could even come up with a way to use some of it to make my bahaman anoles an awesome enclosure and just add more tropical plants and decor to help them feel more comfortable and give them lots of climbing surfaces and small nooks to hide in. You’re the second reptile keeper I’ve seen using this new substrate and I’m completely in love with this new product. I’m definitely getting some, but I know I’ll have trouble deciding which color to get lol. Those Elegant Geckos truly are elegant and I hope your dream of breeding them comes to fruition. Good luck Dayan and I can’t wait for an update on these amazing little geckos. ☺️💕

[@Reptiliatus]

Hi Darlene! Yes! It’s such a cool substrate! I wouldn’t hesitate to say it’s one of my favourites on the market as far as look, safety and versatility go! That could be really fun! I’m sure those geckos and anoles will love it! I may try experimenting with it in a humid or moist environment next 🤔😊! Thank you so much! I really hope they’ll thrive and hopefully breed for me eventually! 🙏🏼

[@kerseykrewzoo]

@@Reptiliatus I’m planning on doing something like that as well, but I’m concerned that as it has the clay in it, it may harden too much if the environment is too moist or humid. I’m hoping that won’t be an issue but it is a possibility that I will keep in mind. Thank you for replying to my comment and using your platform to bring educational and entertaining videos about various exotic animals to us crazy exotic animal lovers and others around the world. ☺️💕

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

I have seen those geckos more in herping images rather than in keeping environments. From what they say, they are quite hardy and easy to keep and breed. You could get a larger group later on in a larger enclosure to see more interaction between the many members. It is said that this is possible with these geckos.

[@MrMetallicFreak]

Wow I found this video at a great time, I just picked up a pair of similar geckos (Stenodactylus Petrii/Egyptian Sand Geckos) and I never knew about this substrate. Definitely going to grab some of it! A question, I've been using sand in my temp enclosure and I find that dubias and various worms don't burrow in to it (unlike dirt), have you seen any feeders trying to burrow in to this substrate?

[@Reptiliatus]

Awesome! Nah, the feeders will really struggle to. Especially if you wet it and hardened it to that clay form. If it’s loose out of the bag, they can dig but if you wet it and it compacts and becomes hard, they really have to dig at it

[@MrMetallicFreak]

QOTD: I think I’d do something similar to what you did, but I’d make a mound of slate rocks. Inside the mound of slate I’d set everything to create a ton of tunnels. Then fill in the outside gaps like you did. Then I’d probably throw in some organic substrate, plant some succulents and some desert grasses, and add a CUC. For the species I’d get viper geckos.

[@bug9386]

i hate to be a bother, however i can not help but wonder whether or not the sand could elevate the risk of impaction? i see how much you care for your wide collection of reptiles\\amphibians, but the animals safety ALWAYS comes first!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you for your concern! These animals naturally live on sand in the wild, as do bearded dragons and many other arid species. While I agree that sometimes keeping neonates on paper towel, etc while they are more delicate can be a safer option, impactions shouldn’t be a risk so long as animals are healthy, hydrated (big one) and kept at proper temperatures (also very important). 9/10 impactions are caused by calcium sand that animals like leopard geckos eat or because the pet wasn’t being kept properly in other ways. Hope that makes sense! Happy to respond to any further inquiry!

[@bug9386]

Such a gorgeous build! Thank you for sharing with us. I debated about using this medium when building my tank for my Leo but got discouraged after reading some reviews about potential cracking when the clay dries.

Seeing that you built this 5 months ago, from today's comment, have you noticed the stability of the clay diminish?

QOTD!! If you were to hand me a back of that substrate, you'd been handing me a solution to a debate I've been having with myself for MONTHS!! I am pretty artsy and creative for the most part, and had been considering making a foam background and using Drylock and painting it to make it LOOK like rock, but I kept hesitating because... well, because it still was not real rock... So then I was considering buying from Universal Rocks, since they use real rock in the outer layer of their products, but they are realistically outside of my budget, and I really wanted to do a CUSTOM background... This solution ticks all the boxes for me!! I'll be using this for a rosy boa build. I even already have stacks of slate lying around. Haha. I would probably do a test run of this first by creating a hide. If that holds up and steady even after a bit of misting, I'll use it for the background!!! Thank you so, so much!!!

[@katinkakyara]

Minimum 3 females for 1 male . Because the female can died otherwise. Because the male continue bothered the female for reproduction and she can be hurt from the lovebites continue, also problems with to many times eggs, and she will be lame, hip dislocated,... . Beautiful what you did!!! Thumps up Grts from belgium.

[@bipolarchemist]

Love these guys. Aside from their small size, I love that these guys are communal and don't exhibit the same sort of territorial aggression you can get with larger geckos. I would love to see some long term updates on this as I always wonder how well the clay will hold up. As for what I'd build with the Exo Terra stone desert, I'd probably build something similar to what I have for my Hemidactylus imbricatus, but as with their setup, I would probably still use an epoxy putty to provide the main structure and support with a outer layer of stone desert.
