Gecko Rack

[Styx]

Here's an old photo of my gecko rack. It's still changing as I refocus on what I want to keep and work with. This was also back when I had some geckos on breeder loan to me that I don't have anymore (because they weren't mine).

Very nice setup! How long did it take you build up all that equipment?

 

[Styx]

Oh, years. And it's always changing it seems. I like some of the setups I've got, but I'm not satisfied with what I've got for some of my other species. Some of those tanks on that rack might be turned into vivariums for the Uroplatus eventually.

Very nice, I like the names of your Geckos, I can guess you got Sakura from Naruto didn't you? And Al - Shua sounds like a Foreign Name ( Middle Eastern )

 

[Styx]

Thanks. Naw, I don't watch Naruto. Sakura just means 'cherry blossom' and my gecko is a very pale pink, similar in shade to the pink cherry blossoms. Al-Suha's name is derived from the Arab name for the star Alcor, it allegedly translates into "the ‘forgotten’ or ‘neglected’ one".

I love how you live so closely with your geckos. I bet you watch them as much as you watch TV!

 

[Styx]

I totally do. I glance between the two.

I love this set-up. What sizes are the cages on top? What cages are the adults in?

 

[Styx]

The cages on top are 15" across, 16" deep, and 23" tall. The adult crested geckos are housed in the top cages, the two middle cages on the right side, and the bottom cages. The viv in the middle on the left has adult L. Williamsi in it.

I am working on some cages on the rack currently, but I'll take some more photos when I'm closer to being finished with it. I will eventually move some of the cresties elsewhere and put my Uroplatus in a couple of the bottom tanks.

What size are those middle tanks? And I like the plants you have hanging in the top ones that kind of look like feather boas.

The cages on top are 15" across, 16" deep, and 23" tall. The adult crested geckos are housed in the top cages, the two middle cages on the right side, and the bottom cages. The viv in the middle on the left has adult L. Williamsi in it.

Cool thanks! I am trying to figure out what to do for my adults. I love your setup. How did you make the top row of cages on the left?

 

[Styx]

Maryanne, the two on the right are 18" cubes. The one on the right is 24" long, 18" high, and 18" deep.

TheJadeReptile, I actually bought them. But they are just PVC and window screen far as I can tell.
