need some ideas

[jess6905]

I'm getting my first geckos in 2 years this weekend. I've got their hides, dishes, heating, and all that. Most of what I have is just diy and temporary. I need some ideas for decorating their tanks. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Like are you going for a natural looking tank?

About as natural as possible.

Hmmmm. get some nice natural looking hides. Go for rep-carpet (looks real), some fake plants, desert red tile rocks. You could really go out of your way and make a full backround and carve it out of stryofoam. i have seen a few posts of people doing it on here.

You can get some wood or cork bark flats and some stones, they make good hiding places and my geckos love climbing on it.

You can do all kinds of things with broken pieces of slate.

Thanks guys I've got a few large flat rocks and some slate pieces that I could use. I really like the look of your first pic jumper. How did you do what looks to be a small shelf along the back?

I LOVE THAT LOOK!:main_cool3: Like seriously, I am really really liking that look!!!
Where did you get the wood? LPS? I really want to try to re-create that :main_rolleyes:

It is just stacked but stable pieces of slate creating 4 or 5 hideaways. I have pieces laying on top of the humid hides....maybe that looks like a shelf.

The wood is just a cut out section of a cork bark tube I got from beanfarm.
