Hello,
Some of you may remember Gecko Mountain v1. that I made earlier this year. If you haven't seen it before, you should check it out, and comments are much appreciated.

For the poll, please choose which of my Leopards would go with the theme best. I can't choose, and need your help. Thanks.

This is what I call, Gecko Forest, version 1.
It isn't 100% complete yet. I still have a few polystyrene w/ grout hides drying out.

Today was a big cleaning day. I started out by moving some of my lizards to new enclosures (No Leo's). By doing this, it free'd up one of my largest tanks that I got from my mom's friend.
I took a few tanks outside, cleaned and hosed them both down.

As I said before, comments are greatly appreciated!

Here we go:

After cleaning, I laid down two layers of paper towels for excess moisture control.

For a substrate, I bought a big roll of brown shelf liner.

Getting the Island/Forest look to it with the tiki men statue and large tree stump. The tree stump has a hide inside of it. The white paper towels aren't as noticeable as in these pictures. I used a flash so it brightened up the white.

Almost all done. Above the tree stump, is a reptile hammack. Just need the polystyrene w/ grout hides in the back of the enclosure.

Thanks to the people who voted!

Cassandra, it is pretty much completed, just except the two hides which are drying. I should have a FINAL picture by Monday.

Keep voting Gecko lovers!

What are you reasons behind picking my SHTCTB for a Jungle habitat?
I know he would be the most noticeable because nothing is bright orange in the tank.
Thanks,
Hayden

Basically for the reason you pointed out-the others would get lost, and the SHTCTB's colors would just BOOM in comparison to the forest...In my opinion, that's the best choice. :).

So would a BB's even if less so than a SHTCTB. Bright white would show up well in a jungle. Plus it would look great with a blacklight in there at night.

OK. Thanks for completed photo.
Comments:
Love the mountain.
Love the Forest.
Nice work on both.
Congrats..........................but:
Why not lose the auto Modern water Bottle
for a more natural look as in the mountain one?
For ease, would suggest a Hole saw hole in the roof of
the nice double door hide, set a water bowl flush with
the top. Gecko drinks while resting on the roof.
Very Creative time spent. I really like!
Take care. Hj
