Hello everybody,


My name is Joey, almost 30 years old and living in a small town called Tiel in the Netherlands.


I have been keeping animals like snakes, lizards, invertebrates and many others for almost more than 10 years now. I come here mostly as a reader and enjoy looking at pictures and reading up on knowledge!
Of course I read up on the basics before getting the animal.

I just recently ventured in the land of leopard geckos I made a purchase of a used vivarium and cleaned it out and gave it a second life. I purchased a custom background some decorative items and of course the necessary hides and substrate.


Here are some specifications :

Vivarium 60x40x40 cmters
Substrate: excavator clay mixed with some Saharan desert sand. (Note: this is a solid rock hard substrate and isn't loose sand.)
Decoration:
- slate stone
- decorative fake plants
- dried moss
- spiderwood
- various exo terra items ( love that stuff) like reptile hide, gecko cave, worm dish.
- heating = 25 watt exo terra intense basking spot with UTH 15 watt creating a comfy 30/31 degrees Celsius at the hotspot.
- no night lighting the UTH remains on 24/7.


My gecko, Snowy, is a girl of June 2014, her full morph designation for those morph fans is : Mack Snow 100%het. Bell F3 Pinstripe Cross.

Here are some pictures I hope you enjoy.

Welcome to GF. Very nice looking cage and gecko. I would say that generally a leopard gecko doesn't need a basking light and some (especially an albino) may be disturbed by it, but others have seen their geckos basking occasionally, so if it works for you and the gecko, go ahead.
