I was getting things ready to order for a new tank set up and was going to get the Rock Terrarium Background...http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=1564
Then I saw this article...Okay Leo's are not vertical cliff face climbers - but they do like to climb - you can if you wish provide them some climbing apparatus if you want - a platform or a suitable ornament will do just fine. There is a big no-no when it comes to climbing that I really advise against. Exo Terra Vivariums are great but they come with a foam background. Generally this is fine for sucker feet gecko species but I would really advise against using it for Leo's. The Leo can and will climb this foam background because of it's shape and can get right at the top of the Vivarium!! But they will invariably fall asleep there and fall off with potentially disastrous consequences! So take out that background if you're going to keep Leo's in your Exo Terra!
Has anyone used this and had trouble with Leo's falling?
