MY 20 GAL LEO TANK

[Skeeter]

Hey this is my leo tank its 20 gallons and my gecko is probably 1 month old or more, but I bought him 8 days ago so tell me what you think of the cage, improvements and what not, the left side is cool side, and right side is warm side

Might want to cover the moist hide (I assume the clear plastic container w/ the paper towel is a moist hide lol) with something so the gecko doesn't feel exposed while in there. I covered mine with silver foil duct tape as I had that on hand from putting the felxwatt on the bottom of my tanks lol. :main_laugh:
What ever works right?

 

[Skeeter]

good idea he doesnt really go in there so black ductape works huh? and that wouldnt hurt the gecko?

How did you make the hole in the tupperware? BTW, where is Skeeter hiding? I don't see any bit a body sticking out.

Gecko-O, I'm not skeeter, but I can tell you how to make the hole. Just use a knife, put a fair amount of pressure and start cutting. Make sure your using a serrated knife.

Right. Thanks!

Skeeter is hiding under the brown log in the warm hide in the back thats why u cant see him, i used a drill with a whole attachment to cut my whole in my Tupperware

With something that thin you just need an exacto knife. Mark where you want to cut and go for it. I got the suggestion from nats to use a hair dryer to heat up the plastic and it makes cutting a LOT easier lol..... either way it's not like you are cutting through a thick plastic.

EDIT: if you are worried about sharp edges on the container use a lighter and melt down the edges some. Just run your finger around it till you are happy w/ how it is.
