Homemade Rock Wall

[Kelsey12]

My sister and I have been building a rock wall and a large rock for them to climb on. It all fits in to a 20 gallon long terrarium. I'm going to post pictures of them because I have a few questions.

Is there enough walking space for 2 geckos?

Also, the rock is going on the cool side--is that enough hiding space so I wouldn't have to provide a hide cave?

I'm still planning on fitting a humid hide and a warm hide in there, as well as a water bowl and food dish, and since I'm planning on using the Repashy Calcium stuff I was told extra calcium is not needed. Keep in mind that the fixtures are not finished yet, so they don't look the best. Sorry for the dark photos!

wow thats looks awsome, how have you stuck the rocks together?

also it looks like theres bits of the rock on the floor, you mite want to make sure bits arnt falling off cos if your gecko eats them i dont think it will do it any good

yeah looks like theres enough space for 2, just make sure they dont fight

i think you mite struggle with space, you mite be able to fit it all in

good luck an keep us updated

That wall looks awesome, did you use cement or tile grout? I think the hiding space is plenty for the cool side considering mine come out only at night when it gets cool out... some of my geckos just sit out at night (no hiding at all) Good job on the wall.. just to be safe make sure you have no jagged edges if you havent done so already

very cool rock wall... reading what you were saying about where the rock wall is going to be, you may find that if it's totally on the cool side of the tank they may unfortunately not use it as much as you'd hoped... I find my girls use my rock wall frequently but it takes up the entire back wall of the vivarium... my hides actually are part of the wall itself so they naturally interact with the wall, climb it but always seem to want to alternate their entire lives in the warm side. (the cool side they only seem to use when they want to poop lol just a thought, maybe think about moving it to the warm side and incorporating your humid hide into the wall?
