Background?

Ok so, I was just reading through some posts and I noticed that they were saying that tank backgrounds are stressful to a gecko? I mean, I love the background and think it adds to the tank, but if its stressing Rin out then its gotta go. Or would it be better if it was solid colours (or very minor colour changes) instead of desert scenery...I've had the background in since we bought her and it doesn't *seem* to affect her, but if removing it will further improve her quality of life then thats what I'll do.
Any advice?

Thanks,
~Kat

If here are no outward signs of stress, no need to change anything. Some geckos are sensitive to noise, light, activity level in the room, etc. But certainly not all. It's just something to be aware of in learning each individual animal's habits and establishing their "normal".

Again thanks :) She doesn't seem to care one way or another so I'll leave it in methinks :D

Thank-you!!
