Wow

How do they get up there?

Nice set up

 

[Snowy & Petra de Gecko]

Ok ... Now

What are the deminsions of the set up.

Do you have a UTH.

How many Leos are in there.

 

[Overkill]

if you look in the right side of the tank on the foam pic you will see the probe wire hidden where the grout is for the uth right side is nice and warm around 90-95

 

[Overkill]

the back of the tank has ledges setup where they can climb up and go where ever

 

[GECKO DUDE]

Wow that is just amazing

 

[GeckoGathering]

Love it!

I Love It!.......really like the way you put in the wall levels and climbing pegs.........
+ the upper feeding stations.
Probably a real treat watching them climb. Quite a rewarding project.
Great job on it, but make any "unnatural" furniture/bowls go away, as it doesn't do your work justice....
You should have no problem making them from clay,(hint)
but if you do put good sealer/finishing coats......
.Enjoyed seeing it. Take care. HJ

 

[Overkill]

in the process of making 2 natural looking hides and a 2 feeding bowls and water dish

I also have pics if the grout going on and the sealer and paint if people also want that

 

[ReptiGuy]

That's awesome!!!

I wish I had more creativity so I could make something like that.

 

[Mel&Keith]

That's one fancy tank!

 

[lisa s]

it looks great - very nice work you have done - I'm sure the leo's appriciate

 

[ClownCarOnFire]

Wow! Feel free to come to my place and pimp out MY gecko's tank! =D

 

[SLY]

Looks great. I really like the upper feeding platform.

Do the geckos really use all the climbing space? I know that after doing my set up, my gecko uses nearly all of it, but she's still lazy abut the stuff that's a little more tough to get to.

The tank is amazing!
But something like that would cos alot of money. how much did it cost?

 

[Overkill]

hum the 1/4 inch glass with the sliding assembly was 75
tile about 15.00
grout 15.00 ish
paint and supplies 40.00
foam 10.00
wood for the tank and stand 35.00
1/8 sheets 50.00 for 2 sheets
glue 5.00
uth with thermostat 50
lighting with 3 stage dimmer 50

all in all for a tank and matching stand with 4 sliders for 4 10g tanks and tons of storage it really was not bad

 

[LeopardGeckoFreak3214]

How did you do that?

Wow, thats so cool. I would like to know what kinda stuff you used for it.
Like what kind of paint. I know its styrofoam, but what kind of glue and paint did you use?
:main_thumbsup:

 

[Overkill]

the glue for the foam was the gorilla glue the grout was standard type in hd and the paint was a acrylic paint 4 colors in all the thing i learned so far was that the 12" uth warm up slower then the 4" one so the tile with the 4" gets hotter faster then the 12" thats the only thing i will change in the future othern then that this week the moist hides will be made so it matches

 

[larry26]

Are all of those materials are safe to use in the tank?

 

[SLY]

I've used them in the past and recently without any ill effects, both on leopards and bearded dragons.

 

[thestack510]

That looks very cool. Nice job.
