I don’t have a leopard gecko, but I’m planning to get one and I’ve been starting to research their terrarium setups- this video was super helpful- thanks so much!
-
My gecko is coocoo. He doesn’t sleep IN his hide he sleeps on top of it.
-
A Paradise for Leopard Gecko. Great! - Best wishes from Germany.
-
Yes I was looking for new leopard gecko video (I want one)
-
Since I started making my tank a few weeks ago there's been so many leopard gecko vids being made and I love it! Ill be using a 20gal with tile and I actually used your video where you made the hides out of styrofoam, grouted it, then sealed it and it looks so good! All I need now is the heat mat with thermometer, the lighting, and a few more decorations then I'll be done with the setup!
-
I'm always excited when I get the notification that you have posted! Me and my baby crestie love watching together!
-
I love Elle's videos. I love her honesty, attitude. Plus she doesn't act like she knows EVERYTHING.
-
My gecko (Pissy) is a year old and I am upgrading her to a bigger tank. This was SO helpful. I have had another one years ago, but i learned so much! Great info! :)
-
She looks so happy
-
am i pretty much an expert on setting up leopard gecko tanks? yes. did i still watch this whole video? yes.
-
Thank you for this I was writing down things for the tank stuff like that for a leopard gecko and wrote down reptile carpet put after this you made me realize the problems with reptile carpet:)
-
I really want a leopard gecko but before I even started to entertain the idea of them, I got a 40 gal tank (It was a gift so not expensive for me. It also has a front door so it's pretty stress free), substrate, UVB light and fixture, and a food dish
-
convinced my mom to get a leopard gecko, already researched a lot for the past days but i forgot what kind of floor you should use so thats why im here
-
Love now the tank turned out and she looked like she was having great time checking out her new diggers. You are such a good reptile mommy. GOD BLESS
-

-
Ayy! Thank you for this! This was so helpful for me to redo my leopard gecko's tank. She really needed a better one haha! 💗
-
I have a baby leopard gecko named Rosie who I got for Christmas. Thank you for posting the videos! They are really helping beginners like myself!
-
It’s impressive how she made all of this fit in under 15 minutes
-
Thanks so much for this! We were thinking about getting a leo, and I'm really glad you made this 💛!

Good morning Elle, hope you have an amazing Sunday.
