Really nice looking set up. Is it hard to keep it up? I mean the cleaning.

 

[aaronawol]

It is some work, but i have noticed they tend to poo in the same corner all the time. So I just go in the some paper towel and spot clean, move around the gravel and pick out any dead crickets/ meal worms and scoop out there waste, check the water/calcium dish/s everyday and thats about it.

.... Plus I totally think it's worth it for it's looks alone.

Is that hammock looking thing in the corner a water bowl?

Yes, It's a corner hammock/water bowl like it? :main_thumbsup: :main_thumbsdown:

And hey Moosasha I justr noticed that you were from MA... thats awesome me 2... No any good petstores? or plasces to get quality leos locally?

 

[JGoslee]

Thats a nice terrarium! Nice looking leos to.

well for leos its not a good idea to go so far off from their natural habitat, tile would be better and easier to clean.

mealies and any feeders for that matter can get into and die in those rocks and cause mass bacteria problems. The humidity can also build up and cause infections.

On your hospital tank, you may need fecals on those, they look to be in need of more than quarantine.

Ahhh yes, i forgot tile is their natural substrate... hmmm. any way i spot clean every other day. and the humidity is actually pretty low exept for 2 moist hides...

I think the tank looks great! I keep my Desert Bandeds on rocks and gravel, and it looks nice. I do find that it is difficult to keep clean due to feeding crickets dying down in the cracks, and I worry about bacteria.

I would also recommend having fecals tests done on the one(s) with skinny tails just to rule-out parasitic infection.

Thanks for the nice comments I agree that it's a little tuffer to keep clean, but on the other hand well worth it. Once I get breeding I will build my own small rack system, but will keep this set up as the "show tank." I do knot know about vets around here specializing in herps/reptilians... Lets say it does have a bacterial infection, what could they do for it, antibiotics? I will keep everyone updated on her condition.

Without a diagnosis from a vet, it is not wise to give medication. Different infections (bacterial or parasitic) require specific medications.

Yea, I definitely like it, it seems like it would keep the floor more dry (sometimes our bowl spills a lil bit). Do they sell that in pet stores or did you make it? If you did buy it, do they make just regular hammocks?

I bought it at a local pet store, and yes they normal ones and they both come if different sizes. You can order them rather cheaply at reptilesupply.com
