Naturalistic design

[Rodders]

Hey. I only have a really basic setup at the minute and so im guna get some stuff for my tank to make it for suitable for my albino leopard gecko.

However I do insist on making it quite naturalistic. So any tips anyone can give me on what to get would be great. Include as much detail as possible if you can please

So any detail for plants, hides good things for him to climb, a better naturalistic substrate. Whatever, anything that helps, good materials for moist hides and whatever.

Any details you might wan, i have sand as a substrate, the tank's about the size of a 50 gallon fish tank i guess, pretty cuboid shape. and i have a foam wall instead of a backdrop that he loves climbing..

Cheers.:main_thumbsup:

Change sand to slate tile. You can choose the color so that can be naturalistic.

here are my ideas: http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=32889 if your up for that type of thing.

I plan to use tile beacuse that is actually more natural than loose sand, as they live on hardened clay in the wild, not sand. Sand also has many risks that come along with it. Overall just not a good idea...

I'll be posting up some pictures of the enclosure and set-up I use. It isn't anything crazy, but since i use mostly use slate materials, it looks natural.

You'll want to search for terrarium suppliers. This will give you a great starting point for your research.

This is a very nice cage. I don't know how hard it is to make it though....
