ok so i got a free 55 gallon tank, built a stand put a plexi glass divider in it, natural slate tile. i think they love it! oh and maybe you all can tell me something... my male Neville the big yellow one haha has become very large i was wondering if he is a giant or normal he was a skinny rescue when i got him. the tiles he is on in the pics are 3 inches by 6 inches!

Weight and measure her, it's hard to tell from the pics. I think it's best to put just tile, with no sand, they lick things way too much.
Yeah i know i am weaning them off the sand it is only around the water dish and in one hide. the rest is slate. remember these are the 2 Leo's that would not come off the hides when i put reptile carpet in, lol they do not eat in the habitats. best i can do for now sorry.

Yes reptile carpet is scratchy to some critters and peoples skin. Diamonds hands were a little red and aggravated when the reptile carpet was in, and the carpet was washed nicely too. I threw it all out after that.

Awesome enclosure! I love the idea of dividing up an old aquarium like that. How do your geckos like it?

They love it! lots of room we are currently building second levels( with guide rails haha) and i am working on burrows as well so they will have 3 levels. they seem to like the divider Neville struts around and Luna torments him. Neville has been really destructive with his stuff so we got him a tiny tennis ball and he pushes it around haha the decor has been untouched ever since .

I velcro my lighter things to the enclosure walls :p
Will they get enough air if there are 3 levels?
Haha 3 levels total a burrow, the main middle earth haha and the highrise with safety rails lol i am sure there is enough air it is a burrow made of squishy foam. the highrise will only be large enough for a hide on it not the entire length of the tank. velcro is a great idea i will try that if the ball stops working but he seams to really like the ball. maybe he was dropped on his head as a baby lol he is a bit strange. lol jk
