Leopard Geckos are some of the best pet animals you could ever keep. Reptiles can make awesome pets and all sorts of lizards seem to be becoming more popular to keep as pets for children and adults. Weather it's your first or fiftieth pet reptile, Leopard Geckos make great cold blooded companions. These medium sized pet lizards only get about 7-10 inches on average and weight in at a mere 50-80 grams usually. Giant Leopard Geckos and Super Giant Leopard Geckos are outliers of course. The space requirement is also very easy with a minimum size enclosure being a 20 gallon long tank or about 30x18 inches in floor space. If you wanted to go larger with a 40 gallon enclosure or even bigger that would also be a great idea! To keep your new friend at the correct temperature I recommend an overhead heat source like a halogen light or maybe a ceramic heat emitter with a stone under the heat source to catch the warmth. You can also heat the enclosure form the bottom with heat tape or a heat mat on a thermostat if you choose. Offering hides on both sides and a humid hide to help the animal shed and hydrate is also a great idea. Bioactive enclosures are amazing for Leopard Geckos and I think these types of gecko setups really bring out natural behavior in your gecko friend. The diet is also simple and feeding all sorts of insects like Crickets and meal worms and Dubia roaches and black soldier fly larvae is super fun to watch your gecko hunt. These amazing little lizards are so fun and really there is no wonder Leopard Geckos make such amazing pets for beginner and advanced reptile keepers. Stay tuned for updates on Cheech and the gang and don't forget to smash that subscribe button!

@@ItsMasonMoney IAnd anyone else thinking this- for the sake of the animal, just make this joke as a joke, but don't actually really try to hide a snake or other pet. They need things that would be very, very hard to conceal, and if you happen to be without your own reliable funds and transportation you might not be able to provide veterinary care if and when an urgent need arises. Also it will be found and you will probably lose it with no chance to get another. There's a pretty good video on this channel I think about slowly convincing your parents to allow a pet, and sneaking would wreck your chances, whereas the slow approach and proving responsibility might change their minds eventually. I hope it does and you guys can have reptiles!

This happened to me with a tarantula. I was staying in town for a winter break back in college, and was happy to look after other students exotics while they went home. I ended up with the tarantula all spring semester and summer break. She was super low maintenence, so it just became my routine to look after. Most of a year later, the student reached out to me. Turns out, they had a medical emergency over winter break and was in the hospital for much of spring semester. They were super apologetic for the radio silence, and took back their invert. I'm just glad that I didn't have to decide if I was up for keeping it or not xD

I've seen a few of your videos here and there and finally subscribed. The thing that finally gave me the push was how open you are to encouraging people to do more research! Love that! It's really important for people to see different opinions and situations for reptiles to know how one will mesh with their life and even when your information is amazing you still encourage people to look for more on their own. I really admire and respect that!

I love the direction that reptile care is going towards, and I love that you have nuanced opinions and experiences! I think it's so important to have channels such as yours which showcases how you can grow and evolve within the hobby, even with such a well known reptile like leopard geckos. I have grown in this hobby so much thanks to my leopard geckos. They started in ten gallons with a very minimalistic set up (as all of the care guides suggested awhile back), and are now in 40 gallons. Each has a naturalistic set up, including loose substrate, UVB, and overhead halogen heating. Not saying they can't have a healthy life without those things, but I have seen first hand the behavioral changes in them. Such an awesome thing to research and evolve our understanding only to be rewarded with some awesome innate behaviors and thriving reptiles!

So informative, you answered so many of my questions! I’ve been caring for leopard geckos for 15 years -since our son chose the first one.I have one from a neighbor, I kid you not, is 23 yrs old, and is our preschool classroom pet. There are 2 others at home (14 and 4 yrs old) along side a 2 yr old crested gecko and an 19 yr old bearded dragon. They must be the oldest lizards in captivity ! So many individuals critters require plenty of space- but sounds like it’s best in my set up to continue to keep them in separate enclosures. Feeling inspired to include more live plants- air plants set in bark are a lovely addition... thank you 🙏

Got my 7 year old girl in a 40 gallon breeder bioactive and she loves it! I also use a halogen light and a dark rock to create a basking spot. Halogen lights are apparently better then heat mats. They are super easy to care for and they don’t seem to lose their tails super easily unlike crested geckos. In terms of care requirements they are super easy to care for as long as ones getting them are okay only feeding insects. Also be prepared to kill plants and you may get fungus gnats with a bioactive they are great but aren’t for everyone.

Great care guide. I'm looking at freshening up my leopard gecko's over the winter, this will be a big help. BTW, Dumerils Boas are cathemeral too. Judging from the noise I hear from under my bed (their enclosure is the bottom 'bunk' of my bunk bed) at 3am, I can attest that this is true... for mine at least!

Thank you for another fantastic vicarious reptile experience Adam! ( This is the new category for your vlogs....the word vlog just sounds cumbersome) Your filming just keeps getting better, in spite of animals being one of the hardest things to film. The attention to detail is so impressive. I got to my first reptile expo in the last few months. Within the first 5 minutes I was holding a leachie 😲😳. I had only heard "Satan in a sock" comments about them. I had never held an ectotherm. They are cool to the touch, which seems obvious with their classification, but when I only watch vlogs and haven't used all applicable senses, it was strange. (Yes, there was a caveat that I did not taste the Leachie) have the bullfrogs and snapping turtles in my pond, but no interior reptiles. This Leachie was captivating. The price was equally captivating, but after researching them, and the speck of dirt they call home literally on the other side of the world in the middle of nowhere, I get it. Leopard geckos may be the perfect alternative "get this, not that" reptile. It's not comparing a dragon snake to a ball python, but I thought it was applicable. Thanks again!! All boxes checked, like, comment, sub, and Patreon! Woohoo! Score!

I had a dream last night that I saw you at a reptile party and everyone was showing off their leopard geckos. When I wanted to put mine away I accidentally took little foot. She looks like mine but he a boi. Well, they ended up mating. I'm like "shit im gonna have to pay child support" Dream you was cool with it tho.

I absolutely love this care guide!! I got my leo a couple of months ago and this video really helps me out. I do have a question though. My leo has been a bit of a jerk to me the last couple of weeks. He bit me twice out of nowhere and didn’t let go. He is the sweetest boy when my boyfriend handles him but with me he just loses his shit. I do the exact same things as my boyfriend and I’m even the one who always feeds him, cleans his enclosure and overall spends the most time with him. It really breaks my heart… I’m really trying my best and his temperatures, enclosure, hiding spots are all perfect so I don’t think that’s the problem. I’m really trying to be patient but I have no clue what’s wrong… please help :(

Some people wash their hands with something strong before handling their gecko and their gecko bit them cuz of the smell I think (So dont wash ur hands with a strong odor if u do xd) Furthermore it might be the way you grab them? Or you wake them up while they are sleeping? (When I was a kid and dumb pet owner my hamster bit me cuz of that) and last reason might be in my opinion that you have extremely cold hands and ur boyfriend doesnt? Anyway, I would give it time. I mean you have enough time with geckos 🤔

I think they'd have to be really stressed to drop their tail. I was so scared with my little guy when I first got him, literally wouldn't even touch his tail, but they're fine. If you're not grabbing the tail and pulling it about or handling them roughly they shouldn't drop it 😊 They're such wonderful little characters , don't let that put you off getting one 🦎💚

i raised my leopard gecko in a 20gal when he was a baby and moved him to a 4'x2'x18" (90gal) as an adult. he absolutely uses all the space, he scurries around, and i installed a second level of platform for him to climb. he loves climbing and has never fallen over, and he has six different hides to choose from. imo the 4x2x18 is the best tank for an adult, and now i put him back in his 20gal whenever i clean his regular tank, and he absolutely gets angry whenever i move him into his small tank. he tries to climb out of it and is generally unhappy in that small of an enclosure. i've been looking into setting up a bioactive enclosure for both him and my ball python since viewing your channel, thanks for all the tips :)
