Housing changes

[brookec]

I've had Chance (Blizzard) almost 4 years. I haven't made too many changes to her 20 gal long tank in that time other than placement of things. PetSmart opened about a mile down the road from me on Monday (previously an hour drive) so I've already been in twice to pick up some goodies!! Today I added a bridge type thing and a vine to Chance's tank. I'm still working on the setup, but here is what I have so far.

I just got Philomena (RW Albino) last month. Her owner was bored of her. She came in a 10 gal tank with calcium sand and the water bowl, small coco hut and small half log you see in her tank. I upgraded her to a 29 gal tall. I made her the humid hide the day I got her and gave her the bowls then. Monday I added the ramp and large log structure. Today I added the vine and black background.

I still need to do a background for Chance. I also wanted to cover the humid hides to make them more appealing and really liked the idea of hot gluing leaves to them. I think those are the next steps. Ideas? Comments?

what is that new substrate you have them on? everything looks pretty cool, do you have a warm side and cool side of the tank?

also i noticed that tupperware was just cut, you dont have to but i usually line the cut tupperware with tape so it doesnt cut the gecko

Substrate is reptile carpet. Before PetSmart opened on Monday I just had a dinky pet store and usually was lucky if they had one pkg of carpet in the size I needed, never been able to be choosy about color!! My Ball Python and Chance have gray and Phil has brown! I actually bought tiles to use for the floor in Chance's tank, but they are slightly too big and need to be cut. I've had them for over a year!! We have just started a bathroom remodel and will have to buy/rent/borrow a tile saw soon for that so I'm hoping to switch both Leo's to tile soon!

I melted the cut edges on the humid hides, it may not look it, but they are smooth.

Also, UTH is on the left 1/3 in both tanks.
