New Gecko - Speck

[LeoBP]

So here is my new little guy (or girl)...

*10 Gallon Tank w/Screen lid
*Accu-Rite Digital Thermometer/Hygrometer with probe.
*Gatorade Caps...3 of them...water,calcium,meal-worms (just for when he wants them in between cricket feedings)
*Warm-side hide/Cool-side Hide (half TP rolls)
*Humid Hide-Tupperware container with damp paper-towel.
*Driftwood...that doesn't allow him to get too high off the ground, but gives him something to climb around on/under.
*Super fancy (haha) desert background.

Using white printer paper as the substrate. Had him on paper-towel, but the crickets where getting under and hiding. Takes 4 sheets, somewhat over-lapped to cover the floor and fits better then folded up paper-towel. Probe is taped directly to this over the UTH.

77.9 on cool side
91.5 on warm side

Let me know what you think...I am totally open to comments/compliments/and most importantly criticism. I haven't owned one for about 5 years and I was in highschool at the time....so any criticism is actually appreciated.

Oh ya...he has a piece of stuck shed on the top middle of his head, after reading up, I decided to leave it until after his next shed....

Speck's the name...

His House...

Thats a very nice gecko, don't be worried, you can just pick the shed off with a pair of tweezers or your hand.

Other then that your gecko looks cool and the set up is nice.

Thank you all...

On the first one I had, I had him for about two years and I was in high school. Didn't know a ton about them and proper setup. I mean, I had the temps right, and had hides, water, and calcium dish...but didn't have a humid hide. Used a heat lamp. And used sand as the substrate. I ended up giving him away to someone when I got married.
This time I want to do it right.....
When he gets a little bigger I may go for a more naturalistic setup....but for now this seems to work well, and it's simple.

Thanks again,
Josh

Yep the brown will slowly fade away with age. I'm experiencing that with my young SHTCT.
