New Home

[geckolvr88]

Back story: My grandparents, whom I live with, went out of town and left specific directions not to get anymore animals. I had an accident and accidently bought Blazer. He's too small to actually house with my two girls, sooo in an attempt to make him less noticable I got a 20g long and split it in sections. I really hope this works lol :main_laugh:


Ok, this is an awful picture, but it gives you the idea.

This is the girl's side. I decided to go with a black divider and black tile because it'll make all three of their colors "pop"

(Slim being curious)


Alright, now Blazer's side. It's smaller cause he's smaller, and pretty basic too. You can also get a look at him. He's still sooooo skinny.

Here's the new enclosure from the top.

I think it looks pretty good

Let me know what you think!

very nice for having to divide and hide

haha, nice, gives me ideas about how to hide more reptiles from my gf, anyway, a little off topic, but how do you find the ramp going to the second level of the girls cage? do they use it often and find it easy to climb? I am working on a similar one made of tile. It just needs to be glued together.

I wish I could hide a zoo in my bedroom. Which is a definate problem, because now I have an empty 10 gallon lol

I was thinking about tile for the ramp, but noticed that they had a hard time gripping on the tile. The ramp is just a piece of wood we cut and is kept on the base of the top story by a small hinge. When they do climb it (when I coax them into doing so) they have no problems. However, when it's time to get down, they seem to forget that there's a ramp and face plant on the bottom level lol. They don't use it too often though, sadly.
Let me know how your top floor works for you!

Yeah, I also figured that if they did notice I could argue that they're in the same cage, so no harm lol

Lol.. that was my explaination for when I got another female.. another one in the same cage.. no harm no foul.. I accidently bought like 6 more, since January.. Not good.. but sneaky sneaky.. and nice way to set it up!

i have a second level for both of mine, i just used a piece of wood covered in felt for the ramp. it works well and they both seem to enjoy the second level. Eliza poops up there hahaa

Mine LOVE their top floor. They can't get to it (or down from it) except by the ramp (or by the screen door, but that's only Spike, and that's because she thinks she's some sort of arboreal lizard lol) I cut notches in the ramp about every quarter inch to reduce slippage.

Dang, I wish my girls enjoyed their second floor. They probably use it when I'm not around or something.

This morning there was a security breach though, as I found Slim on Blazers side, in his humid hide. They have one of their own! I nice big one! Idk what to do now... guess I need to make sure the divider is more fool proof so that there are no security breaches. lol

Thanks. I'm really afraid that I've caught the leopard gecko bug. :main_laugh:
