Mile's 20 gallon set-up (opinians plz)

[xRyudo]

Ok so here's my little guys set-up, now Miles is only about 10 grams right now (just a little guy) Is this set-up to big for him? Also just wondering if there's anything else I should do with this to kinda spruce it up, or just start over and make something else?! Any feed-back is welcome please!

Oh fyi hes my first and only LG so if something is wrong dont hate to much)

What did you use on your background? ^^ Grout?

P.S. I love it! The red light makes it look awesome.

Very awesome set up! I really like it. You could add some more plants if you'd like, but I think it looks fine. A 20 gallon might be too big for a 10 gram leo. Just make sure he is getting enough food; crickets will probably be kind of fast for him in there and can get away easily with all that space. You may want to feed him outside of his tank until he is about 25-30 grams. I also prefer an UTH, but as long as your temps are staying where they should be, then a lamp will probably be okay. You may want to put the water on the other side to keep it from getting to warm and possibly creating some humidity. Also, that humid hide looks kind of tall. Is he able to crawl in there? I usually put the humid hides on their side until the gecko is big enough to crawl in through the top. Overall, I think it is a really beautiful adult set up. Did you buy those hides/shelving or did you make it? They look really cool. :main_thumbsup:

I actually made it myself!! I do have a UTH under the left side, and normally the light is also on the left side, just didnt put it back yet, and I've been feeding him meal worms one by one till he gets full everyday. I do have a 10 gallon sitting around that im in the middle of making another custom thing, should I put him in there until he's bigger?

I love it.. ! I agree with the person a couple posts up.. the hide looks a liiilll big. and other stuff!

Thanks everyone!

He's in the middle of shedding as we speak so I dont want to disturb him to much, I could maybe scoot the hide by one of the steps:main_huh:, he's climbed out of it just fine before, put he never goes in it, atleast Ive never seen him in it.

It looks really good! If you have both an UTH and a heat bulb, it might get too hot. If you don't have a thermometer in there I would run to Wal-Mart and buy one to make sure. I personally think that a 10 gallon would be better to start him out him.

I have a thermomerter with a probe on the left by the plant (hard to see with this pic... sorry) But the floor temp sits around 95* with the lamp and UTH. He spends most of his time inbetween the cave and the shelf on the left.

Ill probably switch him to the 10 gallon once I'm done making everything for it then! :main_yes:
