What do you mean, how do I keep it humid? I usually use moss and a mister and just spray it daily or every few days, depending on how dry it feels. I haven't had mold issues with my leos, but I have with my cresteds because they need a lot more humidity. The trick is not to leave the humid hide soaked, just humid. If it is soaked and doesn't have time to dry a little bit then you probably will get mold. I also tend to switch out the moss every couple weeks to months because it does tend to start smelling a littly funky.

the only tiles I can find so far are much thicker than yours. Hoping to grab a minute in HomeDepot today and see if I can find some like yours. Only day off I have all week, and I'm looking forward to getting to play!

Thank you!
First I love what you've done with the tank! It really dose look amazing. I have a question, how do you deal with the 'poo' issue? Do all your girls generally go in the same spot? How do you clean it out? I have a 55gal that I had split in half and to do a serious cleaning I took and put all 3 that I had in there (2 in one side that I got together and one on the other that I got from a different breeder and she was a bit bigger at the time) in bins. They REALLY don't seem to like the bins!! Two of them have cut WAY back on their food and one has eaten twice since being in the bin (she still looks healthy though).
So I am now thinking of doing this with the whole tank once I get it set back up. It really DOSE look amazing! I already keep the cocofiber in my girls moist hides so I wouldn't consider that a risk of impaction, if it was my girls would have already been showing it I would think.

Thank you
Yes, all my girls generally go in the same corner, although I do sometimes get poop in one of the other corners, so it could be said that they have two corners. One corner is pebble, so with that I usually just scoop up that corner, rinse off the pebbles and put them back. And the other one is right on one of the tiles so I just remove that one, wash it off and put it back. And then every few weeks I remove everything and give it a good cleaning. You can always put a rock or tile in their poo corner so it's easier to clean. I can imagine life in a tub is pretty boring lol I think the more natural you have your tanks decorated the better off they are psychologically. I've had some people argue that with me, that geckos don't care, but I think they do. I highly recommend doing it! Not only is it super fun to decorate and then have somethign pretty to look at but your geckos will probably be happier. And then post photos
