Connecting two tanks...

[jurme]

hi, i have two ten gallon tanks that i want to connect by building some sort of tunnel over the top of the two and having the tanks sitting side by side. i am wondering if there is anyone on here that has attempted to do this before, and if anyone might have pictures of multiple reptile tanks that have been connected together before. any input would be greatly appreciated, if it helps i am housing a female leopard gecko.

I am not sure if this would even work for the geckos, but here is a set up that you can make with hamster/mouse set ups.

I am 95% sure it wont work if it comes out of the top, but it it comes out of the side of the tank it might work.

I was thinking about this as well, I have a 20L tank, 10 gallon and a 5.5 gallon. My thought was to make a walk up tunnel with 45 degree walk ups on the back wall of tank. I just don't know how to make it where the Gecko is safe, and won't get out or stuck.

I'm think one tank for warm and one for cool. Wood tunnel with rough tape for grip. Like the kind on skateboards.

And glue it to the back wall. This is a rough draft.

If the tanks are glass you can take out the end of each tank by cutting the silicone that attaches the glass. Then you can replace it with a plexiglass making some kind of tunnel. Your local hardware store can cut the plexiglass for you too.
