 Wall

I would like a rock wall or just something kind of high so that my leopard geckos can climb on. Any ideas? They love to climb like they would climb on top of their stuff and extend themselves upward. When they are climbing their hides in the corners, they would try to climb the glass wall but it’s pointless, and funny to me lol.

Rock wall or what else can i use or make for them?

Leopard geckos are a terrestrial animals not aboreal. However, they will on occasion climb high. Just so you don’t think it’s necessary I decided to provide that. You can build your own rock wall out of concrete and styrofoam, but that’s difficult and requires curing, I have one I built for a 29 gallon and never installed it. you could always just stack some sterilized flat rocks - or buy them.

YES seriously...It’s so hard to put on. I used i think it’s called sandstone colored. My dad kinda bought the wrong grout, premixed, so it was a little watery, but i guess it was milkshake thick lawl.
I think I am going to put another layer on to make it extra sturdy just in case tho.

mine’s pretty plain, lol nothing special about it. Pics tomorow.

Like I said, they’re terrestrial so they’re not adept at climbing. Harsh angles don’t work for them on such substances.
