Default Hemitheconyx caudicinctus coming soon! My tank:

Hello everyone!

This is my 1st post in the forum
I'm already registered for some time, but I wanted my 1st post to be about Geckos, and finally got something to show you!

So, this is my future fats' 60x30x30 tank:



Without flash:



Another view:



The Moist Hide is not completed yet, but I put it in the future place, just to the photo:





The hides and the water dish are still missing.
I will make the hides already tomorrow, using the bark of oak trees:









I was thinking in two females... what do you think?

ps: i apologize for my bad english

hi i wouldnt use bark on the bottom for fat tails i may be wrong its your choice but they can eat it on accident and become binded up wich can become really bad i keep my fat tail on sand same with my leos that way i know if they accidentlly eat some they will be ok. it looks really good though.. i like your picture of your dumpy frog on your profile also

I agree with the being able to become binded, but bark is bigger and most geckos when they get something they dont like in there mouth they spit it out i have witnessed this first hand, and with sand it is hard for them to get out of their mouths and usually they end up swallowing it because it sticks to their mouths which can cause impaction so ill have to disagree with you there sorry but the set up is really nice, it is really natural i think the Fats will like it.

So... what do you think about remove the bark and leave only with humus?

I'll wait for some more opinions then.

ps: I had never heard that name associated with litorias... they are usually called "white's tree frog".
I've not tried to reproduce them yet, since I only got them in April.
I've a thread about my amphibians in the zone "other herps". If you want, I'll post there some more pics about these frogs.
