New Vivarium Pics

[gaparicio]

I just wanted to share some pics of my 36x18x18 vivarium. Can you see the geckos? Sorry for the blurry pics. I'm not much of a photographer.

Dude! You need to zoom out a little so we can take it ALL in! But from what I can see, it looks GREAT! :main_thumbsup:

I think I see 2 gecko butts. LOL How many are in there?

 

[gaparicio]

There are 4 geckos living in there. 1.3 to be exact. If I zoom out, it would look like this. The two plastic tracks and the top screen unfortunately doesn't help me to take better pictures from far away.

I spy...3 geckos? Nice setups though! I always enjoy going naturalistic when it's possible. If only we had more room....

Wow, now that's an awesome set up. I only found 1 so far. Who makes the cage?

Noone. It's a 40breeder tank on it's side. I made the front by myself using glass, screening and silicone. Thanks for the compliments.

That's really cool! Love the natural look. How do you like the dirt substrate instead of paper towels?

Thanks. I used to house them in paper towels and it was a hassle misting them twice a day. I had them in tubs and I hated opening them from the top. Ever since I made this vivarium I only mist every other day. The humidity level hovers around 70% all the time. I guess because it's so tall and the screen is all the way at the top, the humidity has less time to escape. When I would mist every day the substrate would stay soggy.

Color me impressed! That's really a nice looking set up. I'm envious. Great job on the front. One last question--are you using centerpieds in there to assist with clean up duty? That's the one bug I can remember reading about that can be added to a living viv to help out.

Not exactly true. Isopods (a.k.a. sow bugs or rolie-polies) can also be used. And there are a few other mite-eating inhabitants that can be used as well.

I actually have a giant black millipede in the vivarium. I don't have the pill bugs but wouldn't mind them either. I don't worry too much about the waste on the floor as much as I do the sides of the glass.
