HOW CUTE IS THAT? I love it! I think the little house is fantastic, and the whole tropical theme is great.

That is a really cool set up. I am really digging the ladder/ramp up.

 

[Ehatcher]

Cool setup.

 

[Phoenix]

Thanks! it wasen't very hard to make, or very expensive. Mostly made up of wood I found outside that was baked, almost all the materials except the store-bought hides were from the dollar store.

 

[Phoenix]

oh and the ramp is actually for hamsters, I bought 2 and put them together with about 10 twist ties

 

[bonnie]

do they use the second floor?? I have two in a 40g breeder and find that having two humid, two warm and one cool hide takes up all the room.

 

[Phoenix]

Well I just put the ramp in today, Chloe is always up during the day exploring everything, the other one usually just comes out at night so I'll find out tonight. They both love climbing things so I'd imagine they'll use it, if not to sleep in it at least just for something to do. To be honest I wanted a second story cause my tank is taller than it is wide so there was all this extra space that looked really bare.

Very neat idea with the popsickle sticks!

 

[GeckoGal]

awesome! I love the little tree house! do they ever go in it?

thats a sweet background, it actually looks 3-D

 

[g3ckosr4me]

that is so cool. where did you get that ramp

 

[Phoenix]

I bought the ramp in the hamster section of my pet store, I just got 2 small ones and put them together with twist ties, there bendable

 

[MooingTricycle]

That is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing this. Youre giving me all sorts of ideas for setups when i finally get a few more of these guys

So the tree-house is officially the new Poop Deck.... they go in it every day, to poop, wonderful LOL. John I got it from Pet-Value, I dont know if its just a canadian store or not, but they have them at Petsm@rt also!

 

[stellascura420]

That's one of the coolest setups I've ever seen! I'm jealous lol Good job

 

[gekko.gurl]

Hahaha! That's awesome. I love the "log latter" and the popcicle hut/deck/fence. Man, some of the people on here get sooooo creative with their tanks. I then look at mine and think "how boring". haha

I worry about that log ladder / bridge.

My worry would be that when a gecko is walking up it would be easy to get a toe / foot / leg stuck in the wee gaps ... especially if it puts one foot into a gap, then shifts it's weight taking another step, the whole structure would bend, closing up the gap on the geckos leg / foot if that happened.

Other than that it looks cool ... I think I would try and seal the gaps in the ladder with something though.

 

[Phoenix]

Its really hard to bend the ladder with my hands, Im not too worried about it moving at all, and the geckos aren't a year old yet, but thank you for the concern!! I actually took it down for a bit anyways as I was more worried about where it was attatched up top, so until I find a way to stabilize it no more second story!
