Set Up Questions

[Ramla]

So I put together this tank and I'm hoping I did it right. 10gal tank, Eco Carpet, corresponding UTH, Nat Geo Night Heat Infrared Bulb 50w, calcium dish, two shallow water dishes, hiding on cool side and moist box on warm side. Plus a little plant she likes to hide in. Did I miss anything? Or should I change anything?

Generally looks pretty good. The lights aren't necessary and bother some leopard geckos but not others. You may find that as the gecko grows it will do better in a 20 gallon long tank.

I'll probably upgrade to a larger tank in a few weeks since I'm looking at getting a second female. She seems to like the light, she lays sprawled out with her legs at weird angles when I turn it on. She reminds be of a mini sun bather.

Glad it's working out. When you get the second gecko, quarantine them from each other for at least a month.

I would go live vivarium it's much more sufficient

I would love to but I honestly don't have the design vision to do that. I did one for my tree frog and hated the way it came out. There is an art to live vivariums.

Looks great! Nice work. How does your gecko like it so far?

 

[Ramla]

So far the three geckos love it. I added a second level as well to give them more space.

I would love to see a picture!!

Top for pics of the 2nd level! @Ramla

 

[Ramla]

Will add pics when I get home. Basically a shelf I built then covered with eco carpet. There is another hide and a plant they like to hide in the leaves of.

The only thing not in there is the moist hide
