Opinions on show display

[Nigel4less]

The only concern I would have is that the geckos are forced downwards the whole time, and cannot sit flat.

That was my first thought also...poor animals.
But we have been "raised" different here in Europe.
If you put up an display like that on a show here...they will throw you out.
In one (maybe more) country, sweden, you will even get charged for animal abuse.

Here you must have a bigger size on the boxes and only one side is allowed to be transparent.

I was going to state the same, that it did not look comfortable to the geckos.

If you got some rubbery material and cut it to fit in the bottoms I think that would give them a lot of traction...

That's a good idea. You could use that rubbery stuff for the shelves of kitchen cabinets. You'd just have to cut it to size. :main_yes: That would definitely work!

I have the same concern about the angle they're placed at. Is there any way to slightly change the angle of the shelves?

I am glad to see soo many concerned about the slight angle of the display. I believe that they would be just fine for a few hours. I am certain that a naturalistic rock crevice display tank would be very similar. Not everything they come into contact with is going to be perfectly flat.

I also agree that a substrate that they could grip (felt,paper towel) should be used.

As someone who works construction and has done many a roofing job, being kept on a slight incline for a few hours will not harm them in any way.

I love the display and would use one like it if I had one. :main_thumbsup:

Looks pretty cool. I thought it was jewelery or something for a second haha! With the rubber mat in the tubs they will be fine in there for a few hours. That would DEFINITELY catch my attention at a reptile show!

I am sorry i dont like it

i find the light to bright on the geckos

they are at a awfull angle

and the fact they can be spun just screams abuse

i prefer the flat on the table in deli cups

It is very nice and a great idea, but I have the same issue. They don't look very comfortable at the angle. It really gives them no floor space. I am very finicky about stressing leopards. I will not even grasp mine to sex them. I am always thinking of their comfort. I know it is kind of silly...
