Even thought I havn't received my gecko yet I'm already thinking about updating her enclosure
. As of right now she'll be going into an enclosure that has the bear minimum, it will consist of a 10gallon tank, UTH, med sized Exo-Terra Hide, humid hide, paper towel roll and water/food dishes that will mostly be small plastic ashtrays. I honestly can't pack anything into that teeny tiny tank that's it's been used and abused.
So I was thinking during December/January while I'm on my break from school and have a lot of time on my hands i'll be able to construct a new enclosure for the new year. It may sound stupid but I want her soon but don't have all the extra time and money at the moment to set her up the way I want.
Anyway back to the purpose of this topic. At first I imagined making a rock wall but then I thought I live in an apt with a cat, dog, birds and it'll be hard to air it out in the middle of the winter. Not like i have a garage. So I was thinking of getting a 20L tank (i will find a shelf that fits, its my mission.). In this 20L i wanted to make a second landing just give the little girl some more space to explore. I want the tank to be as vibrant and natural looking as possible. So i wanted to use Cork Bark/Tile as the base second landing. It kind of looks like a tree trunk. I was thinking of getting a big enough piece to wedge into the tank and use some glue to make sure it doesn't move. Does it sound like a good idea? Has anyone used cork bark/tile in their leo enclosures is there anything I would look out for?
Sorry for the long post but im feeling talkative. lol
