I built this for my two female geckos as an upgrade from their 20 gal tank. Let me know what you guys (gals) think. The batteries on my camera are out so this is the only picture I have, but i will gladly take more upon request. During the day only the top level is lit and the bottom "cave" has a faint purple glow. As for heating, there is a heat pad on the top level. It gets to about 89 on the top and 75 on the bottom

Looks cool ... I like the idea of having an "underground" area.
I would probably put a water dish in the top area too, and don't forget the calcium :)

How do they get from the bottom area to the top area? I can see a hole in the corner, but I don't see a ramp or anything?

thats awesome, and I can see one of the little guys on the top level, but do they use the bottom as frequently?

Thank you for the positive feedback. I know its not the best picture, but there is a ramp on the bottom level that starts at the middle of the cage and moves right towards the top level. I used styrofoam to build a rock wall for the bottom cave with a couple of ledges. One of the leos likes to climb up on a ledge and chill there during the day. The other spends most of her time on the warm level in the rock looking hide. They both move up and down the levels as they wish and seem to enjoy all the extra room. Im thinking of adding a couple more hides, some driftwood and few plants so it wont look so plain. Im also considering adding another heat pad since only about 1/4 of the top level is warmed. And I may need to add a CHE for the cold winter days, but i'll worry about that when the time comes. More detailed pictures coming soon.
