the imfamus snow leapard gecko. found in the most highest alltitudes of the middle easten world. found in alltitudes so high where the temps reach -120 degrees, the only others that can stand this cold are the super snows, and blizzard leopard geckos. they come out only at night when they know that its so cold the icecycles wont melt and crush them. when they come out, they like to feed on the snow worms in this cold, cold region that also only come out at night. they drink from the constantly filling springs that never freeze over. at the top of his glacier this mighty male sits proudly watching over his territory watching for young females......... :main_evilgrin: ok, ok, ok, i like to pretend and make up really cool, imaginative, and great looking(<<<not to sound conceaded) show of tanks. let me know what you guys think.
enjoy

That is very creative but with all of the white stuff piled up outside here it gives me the shivers to look at it-jk

Can we see a close up of the gecko ?
That looks like a beautiful snow

chaos is good. she just might be gravid thankfully. it didnt cost me a thing. i got all the stuff from work. for some one like your self, i would have to say around 20. you need foam, silicon, morter or tile grout, and i used vita sand on the bottom. i siliconed a thin peace to the back of a 10 gal tank, shaped more foam the way i wanted it to look, and then just used drywall screws to hold everything togeather. last put the morter on as you would like.
its all up to what you can invision

No Starbucks--Hidey's never gonna visit! But she is drawing up plans to have a similar enclosure (without the skill of a real mason of course). But hey, how much damage can a mom & 2 boys do with a bunch of foam & grout ;p

hahahah. its really not that hard, its just having the right tools. little tip, make the morter or grout really really wet. use a paint brush to put it on. and, well i used an egg trowl, its kinda hard to describe but its a tool that my very old, anctiant partner made, we use it to shape cement in joints and what not. so kinda paint it on, and just figure out your own way to smooth it out and what not. HAVE FUN WITH IT!!! like i said before. just make sure you have some sort of vision of what you want in the end, and you can do anything you want. even ice cycles. heheheh. i love making super realistic cages. just know what you want.

ps. they make diff color mortars and grouts, and mortar dies. so you can make it what ever color you want. use white and make it a winter land, brown to make like sand stone, grey to make it like slate. im sure you get the pic
