Updates on my 50gal colony tank

Hey guys. Just some new pics. Added a 2nd slate upper level, rearranged a few things, changed out one of the fake plants. Feedback welcome!

looks good!

I did a little housekeeping after the pics were taken, cleaned out the defecatoria and pushed most of the gravel back against the wall where it belongs. They tend to scatter it, It's back there to fill the gap between the faux wall and the tile. There's a few things not visible in the pics too, they have a humid hide underneath the right side upper level, and one of those turtle basking platforms acting as a ladder to the right side upper level that's hidden behind the plant. They use the big rock outcrop to get onto the lower left level. Also, if you look hard, you can see my eclipse blizzard napping in the heated cave beneath the lower level on the head-on shots. She's a cutie...

How many do you have in there?

That looks awesome!...would be nice for maintanence if you could get one of those enclosures with the front sliding openings...

I have 1.5 geckos in there now, and my baby SS will be joining in the fun once she's big enough.

Jason- a front opening unit would be nice, but the platforms are really light and lift right out, so it's not that bad to keep clean.

Sorry this is off topic. I was curious what you thought of the Exo Terra Reptile Den (the magnetic tunnel hides)? Would it function as a warm side hide? Do you recommend it?

Great set-up BTW, looks a lot more mountinous now then it did when you 1st set it up (with the sand substrate). I'm sure the geckos are very happy.

Do your gecko's spend a lot of their time on the second level? I built my gecko a second level and he's staying up there 24/7. I think I've only seen him one the ground 2 times since I put it in.

Yeah, it sure is shaping up nicely! Can I make a suggestion though? Have you thought about using natural, real slate rocks as the substrate in your tank? At one point you said you were going for "Pakistani mountain reality", and it is mostly rock with a little bit of packed sandy soil up there (in the mountains). Just a suggestion, as it is a touch more natural (habitat-wise for leos), though you would be fine with your tile if you wanted to stay with that. Good Luck and may many healthy leos be blessed by living in your tank!
