This video follows on from 6 Things You Need Before You Get Your First Gecko. It goes through six more things to have ready before your gecko comes home, with the products I featured for each.

  1. Cage decor. Furniture and hides, plants, and vines to fill out the enclosure.
  2. A mister. For spraying the enclosure.
  3. A water dish. Including a stone single-cup holder from Pangea.
  4. A food dish. Including Pangea magnetic gecko ledges, in both a standard and a large acrylic version, and a small plastic dish.
  5. Calcium powder.
  6. A scale. For weighing your gecko.

For how each item is used and what to look for, watch the video above. Together with the first video, it covers the basics of what a new crested gecko keeper needs on hand.
