Updated Gargoyle Gecko Enclosure

[goReptiles]

Sunday, I was fiddling around online, and the site that I buy CGD from was having a great shipping sell, and I spent way more than I should have, but I'm very pleased with the results. I have one extra large piece of wood that I knew wasn't going to fit in the enclosure left over, but I wanted it for future use anyway, and with the good shipping deal, I had to go ahead and get it.

My gargoyle is moving up from a tub with one fake plant and cardboard cupholders and egg cartons, to this super nice enclosure.... Well, I like it... I am still open to suggestion, though.

Right Side:

Left Side: (One of the hanging plants partially covers the mushroom ledge, creating a nice little hide.)

Get me out of here!!!

I used to live over there...

I used :
R-Zilla Fresh Air Acrylic Atrium
Mopani Wood Med 10-12"
R-ZILLA Decor Malaysian Driftwood Medium
Zoo Med Premium Sandblasted Grapvine
Small Mushroom Ledge
Pangea Magnetic Mushroom Ledge Cup Holder
Zoo Med Orchid
Exo Terra Spider Orchid

2 small hanging plants, and one large (not sure which types)

After setting up the enclosure, I was really reminded what caused me to get into reptiles... The love of the animals...

I added a vine. Placed him there to get the picture. He was pissed I disturbed him sleeping on the mushroom ledge behind the plant.

Hope he doesn't regress. He was never that tolerate of handling. Was so-so out of the cage but hated getting out. It's worse now with all the room and places to hide

Thanks. I'm very pleased with it, and plan on setting up a few more cages for some other geckos. I'm just not sure which. I may but the supplies over time, and when my new leachies get bigger, set them up in more semi-natural type enclosures. Right now they will have one but it's still in a tub. Tons of corkbark and whatnot.

Brian, that's the only hatching I had from the trio I had. I have been thinking about getting a nice red retic female, but what I'm looking for is more than my budget allows. Ha.

This guy is a red brown when fired, so a nice red would be great for him. I wanted a red stripe female, but I would rather create strong red retic bloodlines even though it is fun to get an assortment and never know whats going to hatch
