That's a beuatiful setup!!

Thank you. I worked hard on it. It's a little rough, but we all have to start somewhere.

For someone who is "starting somewhere" it looks awesome. I've never had an enclosure that looked that nice...lol.

All of them are amazing, mine are so plain! I think it's time for a makeover! I have gotten some really good ideas!

This will be Gordon's home. I'm working on another terrarium to split him up from his female cagemate Jasmine. They were sold to me by someone as a "mated pair" but I have no plans for breeding and (through this forum) I have learned and realized that they should not be together. I've already witnessed a couple minor scraps at feeding time and I don't want to stress them out anymore than need be. They have apparently lived together for 3 years prior to my taking them over but I know it's not worth the risks. The previous owner made it sound like she's been pregnant a few times already which, I understand, may dramatically shorten her lifespan . They'll be separated next week when I get the supplies.

I see a hide on what's presumably the cool side, but not the warm side. And do you have a humid hide?

Get it in there ASAP. It's important. And it doesn't have to be fancy. You can just use a plastic container with wet paper towels until you can acquire something more natural looking. Other than that, your setup looks fine. Just make sure temps are good and monitored digitally and there's lots of places for them to hide (if you have more than one gecko in there, you should have one hide for each section for each gecko).

I have two females in the tank and they really dont hide even though they have hide spots...they just lay on the top of the tree

How are you measuring your temps? What are they?

~Maggot

 

[sjt6494]

80 on the left not sure what the left is i have to get another means of getting the temp for that side

Are you going by that analog thermometer? And is the left supposed to be the cool or warm side?

~Maggot

 

[sjt6494]

yea left side is the warm side...

 

[Embrace Calamity]

yea left side is the warm side...

What are you using to heat the enclosure? Also, 1) analog thermometers are useless. You need digital or a temp gun. 2) Having it up there is useless. It won't give you any idea what the temperatures on the floor of the enclosure are (which is where they should be if the temps are right, but yours sound way too low).
