New gecko's enclosure

[corrine]

Here are pics of the new gecko's enclosure. She will be arriving on Friday. If I missed anything please let me know(I'll add a calcium dish once she's here). I misplaced my temp gun but once I find it I'll check temps.

Damp hide and water bowl are the only things I actually see missing from this picture...
Also, you might want to think about a slippery surfaced container, that is shallow, to feed the geck his/her insects.

Other than that, it looks right nice, Corrine. The sides covered is a nice touch !

there actually is a water bowl in there it's the rock looking thing in the corner. I will add a damp hide. I have to buy a dish to make it out of lol. I'll look for a small feeding dish as well. it's only a ten gallon tank tho so i'm trying to save some room. Im in the process of looking for a larger tank. My local pet store wants a rediculas price. They have a 20 long that's cracked and they still want $40 for it.

Too bad you're not closer. I've got about 6.

Tank looks good. i use the glad disposable bowls (sandwich size) for humid hides. Paper towel in the bottom of it. The plastic makes a nice steamy retreat.

i'm going to walmart between shifts so i'll get some then. I used a coolwhip bowl for Chester with papertowel in the bottom he loves it. He also gave me quite a scare the other morning. I went to take him out and I looked under and inside all of his hides...he was no where to be found. In the middle of my panic I remembered that a piece of the tile is slightly elevated probably 1/4 inch off the bottom, so I lifted it up and sure enough there he was.

Oh yes.......a cool whip bowl would work great too. Same basic theory there.

LOL..........they're such hiders at times.

temps are raniging from 75.6-85.7 is that good or does it need to be warmer?

 

[ladyknite]

temps are adequate. they can be a bit warmer tho.

well she won't be coming this week. MY area is forcast to get a lot of snow and the breeder and I don't want to ship her and risk her getting delayed. So as much as I want to have her home I have to be patient.
