Making a terrarium for a domestic lizard is a snap. You can buy it at the pet store, but it's better to make a DIY terrarium. An ordinary aquarium is not suitable as a home for a lizard, since a reptile terrarium must have good ventilation.

Making a vertical cage design and then puts a leopard gecko in there Me: 👁👄👁
that tank is WAYYYY too small for a leo. an adult leo requires 20 gallons! they need their space in order to thrive!
Bvifjhbhghjgofrujd💜
Yes
I don’t mean to be this person, but minimum size for a leopard gecko is actually a 40gal! I’m not trying to be rude at all. I just want to make sure the info is correct, especially for anyone in the comments looking to get a leo, and doesn’t have this info yet.😊
Not true people literally breed them in snake racks
@@DDOT201 and that is not good
NEVER PUT YOUR HEAT PAD INSIDE THE GLASS!! it should always go outside the glass as direct contact can burn whatever is on it! iv had them literally catch fire before!! The foam is perfectly safe its called Great stuff gaps and cracks, it just needs to cure all the way! And only 100% silicone caulk should be used
PERIOD!!!
True
The problem is that they're putting an arid animal into a tropical environment, and the tank is far too small

Seems like a pretty small enclosure for a leopard gecko
yeah, they need at least a 20 gallon LONG, not the arboreal baby crested gecko crap
You can use aquarium safe silicone!!! but please PLEASE never put the actual heat mat IN THE TANK!!!! This could easily burn your pet and possibly kill them!!!!
We have our heat mats in the tank with then but have a glass chopping board over the top to keep them safe . I do agree tho having an uncovered heat mat without a heat probe can be especially dangerous keep your reptiles safe :)
Welcome to another video of: "let's promote on KZhead something that's potentially dangerous for animals" Today we have promoting a way too small enclosure for a Gecko. Including expanding Foam, unspecified Clay and exposed heat mats that jsut get some dirt one them. Not to forget today's visitor. An emptied out coconut with a tiny hole for a Leopard Gecko that won't fit there.. Plus the Coconut is loose and will roll off. Also a quite thin Gecko being put into said enclosure.
And don't forget! Put a this gecko in a tropical biotope more than a desertic biotop
I was like: this is a great enclosure for a tarantula, or s few mourning geckos, but no. She goes in and puts a leopard gecko
expanding foam isn’t dangerous for reptiles if you buy from the right brands and keep an eye on the ingredients. many people use it for bio active enclosures
@@vanillabatbones the problem isn't the expanding foam. It's putting an arid (sort of like desert) animal into a tropical environment that's way too small for it
@@lemonlizard1 100%, but they mentioned the expanding foam as a bad thing
Few days later.. "oh my lizard so lazy..shes sleeping for few days now"
This is a great terrarium! But not necessarily for a leopard gecko. They tend to be more ground-dwelling and don't climb much, so you'll want a longer horizontal space rather than a vertical space. Please always make sure that the materials you're using are safe for reptiles (for this example: the spray foam, the clay, and even certain plants)! I would also advise away from loose substrate such as dirt, soil and sand, especially if you have a baby/smaller leopard gecko, as they lick everything (fun fact: that's how they smell, just like snakes) and can't digest things like that, so they could eventually pass away from a blocked-up gut. One last thing: the heat mat ALWAYS goes on the OUTTER BOTTOM of the terrarium!! They pack a lot of heat and can burn your reptiles, of whom can't sense when they're being scorched! A great video non the less! Please always do your research for the best health of your pets💚
Yeah, spray foam is such a natural habitat for a lizard.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Stupid video!!! 🤬
Seems like dangerous substance to put into an aquarium with a biological being . There should be some sort of calculator which would analyze if the compositions you want to use in the project would be safe and good for those who would be in it's surroundings .
Key word here is "seems"
ik you’re worried but trust me it’s fine. it’s not like a mouse they don’t bite into everything. leopard geckos do tend to lick everything lol but this is okay because the foam they used is safe for them. i have a bio active tank for both my leopard gecko and crested gecko and i’ve had them for forever and they’re fine :))

There are expanding foams that are harmfull lets just hope she did her reasearch on wich are not and used that
Too small!! And the dome in front is up against the glass so how can he get in? Just because it's cute does NOT mean it is suitable for him!!
This is true!
It would be abusive to put an animal in that prison of an enclosure.
Expanding foam can be a killer if there are harmful chemicals, also clay, yes ok, makes nice sculptures, but again, check first as some tanks require a lot of humidity which can either crack or soften clay.
There are specific foams (idk what she has) that are ok to use in reptile enclosures and it’s super common but the clay is def a no. Also the place of the heating mat is ideal, it should not be inside the cage and also she threw a leopard gecko in there, I wouldn’t have personally used a loose substrate for that dude (they love to eat it and become impacted) and it’s more of a humid climate she’s creating and leopards are desert kids🥲

Is this a tutorial on "how to kill your reptile in a week?" Because the chemicals in the foam it's poison for the poor thing
I was thinking same thing she should not have put foam there ＼(°o°)／
Um i have seen many many professionals doing the same thing with and ant tanks idk i have never used the foam
I believe it the special kind that is safe for reptiles. Big KZhead channels like SerpaDisign
A lot of people use foam for bioactive tanks. As long as it’s the right grade it’s safe for the reptile/amphibian. the tank is really not good for this specific species of gecko though
Nope. Pretty much all reptile keepers do this. Let it dry and it's fine.
First thing that little tyke thought when he got in there was: "Soon as she leaves I'm gonna have me a kegger."

I'm thinking that foaming agent will eventually kill any living thing. I was hoping she was building a terrarium. If a plant dies, oh well, but I feel sorry for the reptile.
It's spray-foam insulation. Totally inert.
It won't. People use it a digging animal deterrent but it doesn't kill.
It’s fine as long as the foam dries up.
Being in contact with the foam for a longer period might cause cancer. That's why the foams are locked in shelves or behind glass walls in Germany. You can easily buy as much as you want, but before you need to listen to the safety advices from an employee (only necessary for private users)

How do you disinfect this or clean it with everything glued down? I would not recommend this. The foam is fine it's not toxic to reptiles when dry.
You don't if it's bioactive
@@yourfavouritehydra it's not
Yes, when it dries it ain't toxic, but it is exposed to direct heat (70-80⁰F), there's no way that foam can handle thag heat, plus the heat mat doesn't got a thermometer/ heat regulator, it can easyly ho up to more the 90⁰F, there ain't no way that thing is save, but if it ain't used then yeah, itxs 100% safe
The question is, did the lizard like it's new home 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎
It may be cute but all animals need their space and that glass box seems more than a little too small...
Depends on the lizzard. Mine likes the box to be good & tight...
Yes, all animals need different sizes of space, I wasn't saying that the box was too small for all species just that you need to know how much space your pet needs first. These terrariums are not one size fits all. The lizard in the video is one that needs more space than he can have in that box.
@@naotocchi giggity 😜
@@psuperpsychophreak ew
@@psuperpsychophreak yeah, depends on the animal but leopard geckos aren't one of those animals Except if the leopard geckos have some genetick diseases
Thermal mats could burn them it’s not safe for lizards or geckos or any reptile I think it would be better if you put like a heat lamp or something
لمخسظىزلتلى
Heat mats work fine if they have a thermostat attached, but this tank isn’t good for a leopard gecko
The mat would possibly burn the foam and even if it doesn’t, it’s safer and much less frowned upon to put it under the tank with a thermometer.
Most reptiles do not bask under the sun to get heat, they lay ont a rock that was heated by the sun. Also, heat lamp are always cheap, they vue fast, cost a lot and the heath they produits is small. Some reptiles need a heathing lamp, but all have to have a heatong mat UNDER the glass tank woth a thermostat.
@@JamesDM4 I did know this, but I was thinking about how they put it IN the enclosure, and even without the probably toxic foam, it would have burned the animal because they didn’t have a thermostat. If you don’t have a thermostat to regulate the temperature of the heat mat, you want to get a heat lamp. Any reptile can thrive with a heat lamp, just some like heat mats better. Heat lamps can get pretty expensive and can last a long time, and they can regularly get up to 85-130 degrees depending on the brand and style you get and the distance from the basking spot. This will also warm the rock the animal will sit on to bask, so they can still get belly heat from a heat lamp. Never assume that a heat mat is better for every reptile that likes belly heat.
У нас в городе-герое Севастополе такие ящерки по стенам домов без всяких кокосов бегают.
This was actually pretty cool till she added a leopard gecko like bro no
Бедняжка геккон, загнётся от этой химозы.
Yes, dangerous chemicals for a closed terrarium are the best
It's spray-foam insulation. Totally inert.
Spray foam is safe when dry. Do some research before saying stuff.
@@lonnieporter8566 not if they're exposed to direct heat that probably goes to about 75-80⁰F
That viv is way too small for a leopard gecko and is probably too humid as well. (also the higher hide is a bit of a hazard as while they are capable of climbing, they're not very good at it)
leopard geckos need a tank much much larger than that, plus they are an arid species of gecko. Also that plant looks to be an anubias, which is an aquatic plant

That's not a cute house for a lizard - that's a damn gulag for a lizard 💀
Leopard geckos are famous tropical and arborial geckos, absolutely not desertic and they love to die because the heat pad is inside their enclosures. There's nothing right about this build, leopard geckos are super common so it's easy to find information about them but you still did everything wrong, that's incredible considering the probabilities that something like this happens. You probably feed it plants and wonder why it's starving
This hurts my soul
Монтажная пена и пожогрев это медленное отравление для животного
Тоже подумала об этом...
The foam will offgas nasty fumes under the heat of the light or heat mat she put right on the foam. If it’s not for animals then your just slowly killing it at best.
That’s super cute but it would be better suited to a crested gecko, leopard geckos tend to use horizontal space not vertical. Also always use a thermostat with a heat pad, there are a lot of horror stories where it has overheated and burned reptiles. The foam should be fine just make sure it sets for a long time and make sure the lizards can’t eat it. Overall pretty cute.
Выглядит хорошо,но насколько это безопасно...
Ни насколько.
NEVER DO THIS! the foam is probably going to kill the pet and you won’t be able to clean the tank all the way and NEVER put a heating pad inside the tank it will get to hot and kill the animal! Also the coconut could have ruff edges that could hurt them, So pls don’t do what this video says
I thought it was a perfect place for gecko since I was clueless about the heat pad and foam. Guess I shouldn't trust very quick.
@@unanaily1979 yes, it's really bad, everything is wrong with this video except the clay i gues
She's the type of girl to know fish have gills to breath air but don't know they're supposed to breath underwater, like I don't get this girl, she knows the leopard need heat, means she did her reaserch but she manage to messed up the tank size? And knowing they need heating mat means she also know the apropriate temprature for leopard geckos but she put it on top of plastick foam
Warning: Do NOT use dirt in ur gecko’s or lizard’s tank or area that they live in bc if they see the insect on the dirt they will hunt the insects and when they eat there will be dirt on the insect and the gecko or lizard will start to slow down and die bc the dirt wont go down their throat and that is why it build up each time they eat and they will die!
this is not a suitable terrarium for this species of gecko, the leopard gecko
THANK YOU! This video upset me..
What foaming agent is that? That is something I need to create a set up for my beardie.
It is called expanding foam
@Cristina🔞👇 .
They sell it at home Depot ad Lowes. It's called "great stuff".
It's the kind that kills if the creature breathes the air around it.
It will kill it, so I wouldn’t recommend it. The chemicals are fairly poisonous and this stuff is usually put inside of walls.
Not only is a heat mat in the terrarium a bad idea(leads to bad burns if not monitored), that spray foam is not reptile safe, they clay needs to be seal coated before going in the enclosure, and last but not least that is not the correct type of enclosure for a leopard gecko. They lake alot of ground space. They don't need climbing room.
There’s no room for him to run around and it’s a great way for him to push the top off and escape:)

Looks nice but just so you know the best substrate for a leopard geckos is papertowels due to mold etc.
@@sarisianturi5549 that's what I said lol.
@@jeremy836 owh yeah, sorry
reptiles live on cold surfaces like rocks, damp soil, and dark under-bush away from direct sunlight.
I think most clay is safe for geckos????? I’m not a professional with geckos but I own one
Leapord gekos lives in deserts why would you give them a high humid substrate
And what do you do if you have to clean it? Seeing as you 'glued' everything in place Edit: Also in case it wasn't clear, my comment was meant to be sarcastic, I'm well aware that this is a horrible and harmful setup
There is so so much wrong with this video, but a proper bioactive setup doesn't need to be cleaned. With the clean up crew, it basically acts as its own contained ecosystem. I add more leaf litter for them to break down and top off the live clean up crew (mealworms for me, but isopods/springtails work well too) maybe once a year. My snake loves it.
I'm impressed by your comment, everything is wrong but u chose to ask how to mantain it, the answer is that you don't, get that leopard gecko a New tank that is bigger and more land space, then we can talk about that
Isn't the spray foam toxic?

@@sunnyxie1711 yes, it is or it wouldn't be able to be used in construction. Idiot.

"Well thank your love. I'm going to give you such a big discount on your insurance. "
Bet the lizard would be happier in its natural environment.
PLEASE DONG USE HEAT MATTS THERES ONLY CONS WITH THEM! Don't crowd the tank so much! The branch didn't need the foam it was fine by itself! That stuffs toxic for the animal, also Make sure to check that your substrait is good for the type of Lizard you are putting in!

A leopard gecko (the kind of lizard she put in there) needs a long tank more than tall
Freedom to this beautiful lizz
A crestie is much better suited for this type of setup. And they don't even need a heat mat. Leopards, even tho they climb sometimes, would much rather have a bunch of length as opposed to the height.
wow that was very creative, i loved it, it was amazing i thought it was wonderful 😍
No it's not wonderful, it's like puting a cactus in a swamp
Have you ever wondered that the foam paste could be toxic for the lizard? Oh and the clay- You haven't because you did it anyways.
Wouldn't the spray foam off-gas toxic fumes that could harm the lizard?
My lizard knows how to drink coffee
That tank is good for the baby leaperd gecos but for adult it needs to be at least 20 gallons but it looks good, I have a leaperd geco that looks like that too her name is Ash and her brother Mango and they are both baby’s as well and they share a 40 gallon tank and they are so sweet and cute 🥰

Thats so cute i'm defently no 100% making that home but i don't have a lizard
So everyone’s talkin bout how small the tank is But can we pls talk about the annoyingly fake coconut 😂
Enclosure is too small and much too tall. Leopard geckos are arid reptiles, not tropical. Expanding foam didn't have adequate time to dry and is a health hazard for your reptile. Coconut house wasn't properly dried and can also be a hazard by promoting mold. The clay attached to the other house would make it difficult to remove and clean it properly when needed. The substrate is either peat or Coco coir, and doesn't contain necessary nutrition for the plant to grow long term. Reptile habitat rating 1/10. Please don't use this as a care/housing guide for your pets! Like of you agree, so others can see this. 👇
Never put your mat inside!!! It can kill your pet, you put it under the tank and put a thermometer inside.
Dont put heat mat inside the tank because i can cause some damage to your reptile with lots of burnes on your reptiles scales also forgot to mention that tank is way to small for that gecko you need lots of space for it so they have alot of hiding spots and i recommend a 20 gallon tank
С какой любовью сделан домик для питомца
I thought that would be perfect for mourning geckos but no you have a LEOPARD GECKO in a small arboreal tank when the need a larger terrestrial tank, you put a heat mat in with no way to regulate it, gave it a tropical substrate, gave it a loose coconut hide that is right next to the other hide, used a unlabeled clay brand which showing your neglect of doing any research whatsoever it can be assumed it’s unsafe, and you didn’t show any evidence of using uvb
Now a lizard is also a pet 😂

Leopard gecko needs more ground space rather than height.
For Indians our house itself is best house for lizards too! We won’t restrict it by giving a small space!
Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that she put a leopard gecko in a vertical tank? Leopard geckos can not thrive in vertical tanks, they need horizontal tanks at least a 20 gallon. Plz do not put your leopard geckos in this.
I'll never understand the urge for people to have animals kept in jail.
