New Leopard Gecko Setups!

[CJ's Exotics]

Hello! I plan on working on some new bioactive setups for my Leopard Geckos's, and I was wondering if anybody new of a good dirt blend that would be good for the gecko's, minimize risk of impaction, hold the right amount of moisture without it being too high, and good for springtails or isopods. Any good places that sell good species of isopods or springtails would be appreciated, and don't worry, I will post pictures as well!!!

Check out Mike Tytula's YouTube channel. He made a bio active leopard gecko setup, and he talks about everything he uses.

I watch his videos. I think I am planning more of a soil type, versus let's say clay-like excavator. Like the Biodude's Terra Sahara.

Have you started setting the tanks up?

I am working on developing a successful mix right now, I have 2 "beta" mixes I am experimenting with now.

Eco earth by zoomed is really good and it reduces smell

Just coconut fiber? I think I will do something else, but thank you for the response.

I have made the enclosures! It took a while, but I made them! I ended up using Lugarti reptile bedding, combined with leaf litter, cork shavings, and then I added my microfauna. Pictures soon!

Could you keep us updated on how the Lugarti works, please? I’m thinking of using it but would like some opinions!

Definitely! You might just have to remind me.

Well, one of the geckos, Buster, laid unfertile eggs, I wish I knew she was receptive, the problem is that she always looks like she has eggs, but lays super infrequently.

How’s the Lugarti so far?

So far, it's pretty nice. I wish I put more leaf litter, but the geckos enjoy burrowing/digging in it.

The bio dude’s bio setups are really good

They are, but I don't like his chameleon advice.

What exactly has he given out for advice that’s bad? I haven’t watched his videos in forever and can’t remember what he said in them

Agree with you on that!

He said wrong info about plants or something, about impaction, about supplementation, etc.

In his video there was some questionable things
