9 Year Evolution of My Geckos & Their Vivariums: What I've Learned

I’m so excited to share this one with you! I’ve been planning on it for a while but had to wait until the nine-year mark. It’s wild how fast time flies, though! It seems like just yesterday that I got all three of the geckos. Which one is your favorite? Let me know! Enjoy and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

Thank you for constantly inspiring the community to thrive to make the most naturalistic spaces around

Tanner does it right. Instead of getting new animals to drive subs, he continually improves the lives of his existing animals to get people to watch.

Wow, I can't imagine 9 years of hand feeding. When I got my leopard gecko, Superpetz recommended hand feeding, but he loved hunting for live prey, and I always thought it was better for his physical and emotional health to let him live out his natural instincts. I only hand fed for the last 2 years of his life because his eyesight was failing. RIP Little Guy. It was a fun 14 years.

as an owner of a crested gecko, i just love this video! you inspire me to give my gecko the best care possible. keep doing what you're doing!

Having the maturity and the patience to let the animal determine handling frequency and style is incredibly uncommon, especially in today's age of constantly chasing instant gratification. When we do, though, we really end up having relationships with them that enrich our lives (and hopefully, theirs as well). Thank you for the reminder of this through sharing your gecko journey.

You should go to Kanaky/New Caledonia! I have seen so many wild geckos there!! I had a window covered one night! so cute! They are also the symbol of social groups!!

It is so inspiring how much work you have put into redoing these enclosures over the years. Especially with regards to how it has improved the emotional state of your reptiles. It's great to see people focusing on the mental health of all their animals.

I hope I look that good in 8 years. Thanks for the videos and updates!

Quick tip. It’s not 100% effective but when you feel a sneeze coming, push your tongue against the roof of your mouth to hold it off until you are able to safely sneeze, sometimes it will remove the sensation completely after a short period of time. Hope that saves some tails in the future.

I love how you show the improvements as you gain more knowledge and experience. That's one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much, you admit mistakes and learn better ways. Henry's little frog butt is adorable btw. Delilah is gorgeous as always. Cynthia just may be one of those animals who is less interested in being handled. You're doing right by letting her be herself and not pushing her to be what you want/expect.

You’re such an inspiration for caring, nurturing animal husbandry. Providing them natural, realistic spaces that are clean but bioactive, just like their forest homes goes such a long way in making healthy, content animals. You can really see the bond you have with Henry. Geckos are such inquisitive, smart creatures and it’s easy to see how happy yours are. I’d love to see you recreate the three tanks set up again but twice as tall. It would look fantastic in the new animal room. Thank you once again for being such a positive force in this hobby.

I love that you’ve been doing so many re-dos on the channel as of late. It’s so lovely to see that you always do your best to change the animals’ environments as they grow, and it’s nice to see which changes are needed in order to create the best and oftentimes the most natural homes for them. I’m always wary of people who keep exotic animals, but with every video it becomes clearer that you out everything into caring for the lot that you have. Wonderful video as always!! Thank you for continuing to make these every week, it’s such a great to get great content so frequently. Take care!! 💃

Yours is one of the few channels where a "Looking back"-video makes so much sense, so much has happened! I really enjoyed seeing the journey and habits of your three friends and its also really cool to see the subtle changes in your methods! I would enjoy more of these for the other animals (especially the reptiles and amphibians; I like to look at fish but I cant empathize so much with them and their story, but hey glad if you can prove me wrong!)

I love these videos! So inspiring and entertaining

The longevity of your animals is a testament to your care and love. ❤️

I always thoroughly enjoy your videos! Your gecko friend, Cynthia, is like a couple of feral cats that I took in...I describe those cats as "living in the background" in my home. They needed care and safety. I provide that and am thrilled when I get a glimpse of them at times. Life is short and I'm enjoying my journey and just trying to help others enjoy theirs. Thank you for helping so many enjoy their journies, as well.

Always love these videos so much it helps add so much personality to the animals and tanks

Your videos are always a highlight of my week. Thank you for sharing your animals and setups with us!

I don’t think there have ever been 3 Geckos better cared for, or given more love. You are an exceptional human being.
