Gaia's Digs

[KTyne]

Thought I'd share some photos of my Leo's set-up with you guys.

I'm planning on eventually turning it into a more naturalistic set-up but I have to plan it out first and get all of the supplies.

It looks great! where did you get those dishes??

I got them from a store called Jysk (it's a store that sells stuff for the home). They are candle holders and were like 50 cents each.

Nice and simple... I like it.
Those dishes work great. I thiink they are called something like tea light candles (or something to that effect) You can find them at Walmart and Target for 50 cent each.

Thanks. It has all the essentials but I find it really boring, LOL. That is why I want to make it more naturalistic. I want to make it a desert set-up with a sand/soil mix substrate with the slate on the hot side and then driftwood and fake plants.

Your setup makes it very easy to keep clean and maintained versus a naturalistic setup IMO. As far as making the switch to a sand/soil mix... If you havent already I would suggest reading a few of the threads on the topic of substrates to make sure that is the route you want to go.
I will not go into it here, I will just say that there are alot of strong opinions on the topic. lol.

I know it's easier to clean and such. I also know that it's a very touchy subject because of impaction risks. I put Gaia's worms in a dish right now plus if I switched over I would probably feed her out of her tank.
