Show Off Your Cages

[cucarachafea]

I've changed some of my tanks again. Here's a couple of pics. Also I suggest we make this a sticky thread. Seems like a good idea to have one thread where we can all show off our cages and get insporation from others. Anyone else agree?

That's an interesting setup. It's definitely unique though lol.

My 1st attempt at creating scenery

The "warm" hide is the entire left side, the cooler moss hide is on the right and I'm on the look out for a better container, one that will fit under the 1st floor and stairs and wont be as noticeable. Also need a new background. This 20gal tank currently houses 2 of my geckos.

Some cool vivs here. Am looking to build a new one for my leo. Here is my 1st attempt at a DIY. Since I got some ideas from this thread, I decided it would be fair to share mine:

Cheers!

This is how my gecko cage looks currently:

I know it's a bit confusing... I forgot to mention that there's a heating pad under the big hide on the warm side...

Is there something I can do to improve it? :main_huh:

Hey Music, how did u get the hides like that and what kinda material are u using?

 

[musick]

got a few PM's but cant reply to them as i dont have enough posts.


hides - the one on the right is a stryofoam box (minus 1 side) and the left is an empty plastic container, covered w/ white elmers glue (mixed 50/50 w/ water) and covered with sand to give it some roughness. this helps the sand and clay powder mix to stick to the hide w/o falling off.

the last pic is looking through the front of the tank and into the warm hide.


substrate - a mix of clay powder, sand and water. i think it was 60% sand and 40% clay powder. if you want clay powder, buy the cheapest cat litter you can find. VERY IMPORTANT: make sure the ONLY ingredient is clay powder - you dont want any fragrances or antimicrobial additives. put the litter into a coffee bean grinder to powder it and mix well w/ sand. wet the sand so it is a bit thicker than oatmeal and shape the substrate. i let this dry for 3-5 days or so before adding my gecko.

after it dries, it is almost as hard as a rock.

GREAT setup musick!

GREAT setup musick!

thanks tony! i am pretty happy w/ it myself.

took out the smooth rocks today as they dont really "flow" w/ the desert setup. maybe some jagged ones would be better.
