Her name is Sandy, she's eating well and seems to enjoy exploring her new home. Here's a picture of her as well as a pic of her new (DIY) hangout.

What a cutie! I love her setup, very well done. Should keep her entertained for a long time.

thanks for the comments!

The Hides are made from carving and gluing styrofoam, then coating it with several thin layers of unsanded grout, then several thin layers of Mod Podge. the final coat was thicker and had sand sprinkled into it. It was easy (but messy) and very fun. see lizard-landscapes.com to see where I learned it.

Thanks again,
Chad

very cool, throw some calcium in that food bowl and you're all set! the worms will roll around in it and coat themselves

Thanks,
So far I've been dusting cricketswith calcium but honestly, It's kind of a hassle managing crickets. With all the geckos you've got, I'd be interested in hearing your take on crickets as feeders. I've read all the polls and alot of people skip it. (I'm not ready to throw in the towel...yet!)

i only feed crickets when i have a stubborn gecko. i breed my own mealworms, superworms, and dubias. most people here will feed mainly mealies, with supers thrown in for "treats". ive had luck feeding mainly supers though and will eventually be only using supers and dubias. crickets are a pain to keep, have a high mortality rate, and smell awful. but that's just my opinion.
