THAT was helpful :main_rolleyes:

There's a few threads that have already been put up about some great places to buy herp supplies on line. have you tried the search bar, search for supplies?

Personally I think reptiledirect.com and LLL Reptile both offer a niceselection of cage furniture at reasonable prices

Agreed! I've dealt with both companies, and have been pleased with their service each time.

If your looking for hides...... this is what I did. I went to your(my) local grocery store and buy big coconut and then is the tricky part. I use a what looks like an ice pick to poke a hole through one of the holes in the top to get the juice out. then I trace a line with a hand saw just enough to to get my jig saw blade in there and then I rotate that coconut and I get 2 big hides from 1 coconut coasting about 1 dollar. And they are always bigger than what I would find at a pet store.

Needless to say if your not handy with tools you might not want to try this without some practice or supervision.

Glad to hear. good luck

oh yeah needless to say your gonne dig the coconut center out too before you use em and that same jigsaw you make the door too. But I am sure you could figure that. Just wanted to post it.

Make sure you have a humid hide in there too. I just throw moss into tuppaware containers and cut a hole in the lid.
You can get cheap for now and throw paper towel rolls in there until you find something else. The more hides the better.

the only MOSS i have access to is spanish moss and it carries red bugs commonly known as chiggers, not good for humans, especially not good for geckos, but thanks for the urls. :main_thumbsup:

Check a garden center for orchid moss. Don't use spanish moss!!!! A lot of folks use paper towel in the humid hide. Also, while at the garden store, they have some nice decorative things that could be used in a gecko tank. You may see something that tickles your fancy
