The Leopard Gecko Setup That Actually Works (Naturalistic + Low-Maintenance)

Good Morning, Reptilians! This week, we’re setting up an enclosure for a leopard gecko - Winter! The enclosure hasn’t changed much, we’re just having to set everything back up again in the new reptile room. So, I thought I’d film it all (it has been a couple of years, anyway). I decided to just go naturalistic for this set up, and not even attempt bioactive… I think I’m done attempting arid bioactive. They always seem like they’re going to work… and then they don’t. 😅 With that being said, here is my naturalistic leopard gecko setup, that actually reliably works.
