I was hoping some more experience d keepers could take a look at my tank and tell me what I'm doing right and wrong, THANKS!

Cute I'm kind of a minimalist with tub/tank furnishings myself just because it's easier to disinfect things and keep it all clean.

The only thing I'd say is maybe look into getting a probe thermometer... The stick on things are ok for ambient temps but a probe thermometer is a better bet for making sure the hot spot is the correct temp. They're fairly cheap. There are also infrared thermos that you can just point at a spot and get the surface temp. I picked one up for cheap on newegg's black friday sale last year and love that thing for all of my herps.

You could also get a heat mat and thermostat Probe thermometers are important to measure the ground temps with, which are really important for digestion. Also a moist hide is a must. You could use a Tupperware, cut a hole in the lid and put moist towels or moss in it. Otherwise, your setup looks nice But a heatsource for belly heat, probe thermometer and a moist hide are important! And don't forget to dust the food with multivitamins

I wouls love to see pictures of your gecko

Xalia, does the infrared thermo provide ground temps in the 90-92 degrees?

Thanks for the feedback, I have a uth and the the hide with the plant also has sphagnum moss in it! I will probably be pick up a thermometer with a probe to monitor the ground temps. Thanks again. Also could you please join my group Leopard Gecko Talk?

 

[ReptileKyle]

Thank you so much for the feedback. I will be picking up a probe thermometer1

Sure is it a group on Facebook?

 

[ReptileKyle]

If the hide on the right is a "moist" hide I would give your gecko another dry hide that is on that side too so it has one dry warm and one dry cool hide Nice looking tank!!
