 I built something new for my gecko!

Alright well I did it last night and I dont have a great picture yet, let me put new batteries in my camera and I will ahve a pic probably tommorow.

Well I took out all of Mosi’s stuff and put down a bunch of rocks sparatically (cleaned rocks) throughout the cage floor. Enough room for him to get between them and no where for HER (still getting used to saying HER instead of HIM) to get stuck. Then took a sheet of plexiglass the same size as the tank floor and set it on top of the rocks it is very sturdy and secure. Cut a hole in the plexi at the corner and laid the substrate (carpet) and all his hides and whatnot on top. So now he has an undergroun "bat cage without the bats" It is really cool looking and SHE is under there all the time now. Really seems to like it :D

That sounds really cool. As long as its stable (like you said it is) that should be really fun to watch them down there.

It is pretty sweet. And definately stable I tested it by shaking the cage around. Smacking my hand really hard against the new plexiglass floor. All kinds of things. I would hate for it to fall...

He went down there.... came back up.... went back down.... back up..... and hasnt come back up sense (that I know of) LOL he really likes it and that makes me soooo happy :D

I like making my little scaley friends happy

That’s awesome. I wonder how I could snag the idea for a tank like mine.

It could be made MUCH better and much more creative...... I just used spare junk lying around the house and in the carport.... You can pre-build a wooden box with a hole and ramp down it... then just set the substrate on top....

I understand using spare junk for your Leo cage. In truth most of my Leo cage is spare junk. If I remember after my long day today I will post a picture on here though so that you can see what "spare junk" turned out to look like. I love my new cage.

Make sure there is enough air under there.(lol it rhymed) I lost a lizard because there wasn’t enough air under a home-made hide. That sounds soo cool, though. Hope you can get some pics !
