Second DIY project

[Lavodnas]

Decided to make an even more elaborate setup after the first one I did. This one has stairs on both sides leading up to the platform in the middle where I now have his food and water dishes. I also made an "escape proof" mealworm dish since I was on a roll. Sparks now has 2 hides on each side plus the space underneath each staircase serves as a hide as well. On his moist hide which is in the center, I decided to add the first letter of each member of my family which includes myself, my wife, and our 3 daughters. Amazingly enough, all of the women in the house actually love reptiles now. I used the same materials as last time...foam covered in grout but this time used Modge Podge as a sealant instead of tile and grout sealer. Any comments, questions, etc. are encouraged.

And here are some pics of the final result.

This is very cool. I wish I had the space and money to go towards something like this. I am sure I will end up doing one someday when I get a load of extra cash

This is in a 20 gallon long tank so I designed it to give him plenty of exploring room in that space. And the cost wasn’t too bad. For the foam, grout, brushes, and mod podge I maybe spent $45 total and the materials lasted enough to cover my first project plus this one.

WOW that looks really awesome! I did a similar project for my new female gecko so that she could use the hight of the terrarium. Your gecko seems quite settled in in the pic

Thanks. And yes he is, he will even do “laps” around the whole things sometimes. I also encourage his exploring by moving his food dish to a different spot every few days. Do you have any pics of your setup mörten? I'd love to see them.

That looks very nice. I have a 20 long I'm setting up and that looks like a nice goal to shoot for.


Thanks for sharing
