Hello all

I have just got a Giant Day Gecko and have lots and lots of questions (but only one for now)!

I've already learnt so much from here so I wanted to say thanks for that ... my girlfriend and I love Echo the Gecko and want to give him the best home possible.

The first problem is that we live in a country with very long nights, and at the moment no night at all.

Can we put curtains around his home to simulate night?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Yeah this is fine, I have to do the same with some of mine at night or they just run around in panic because they can see some light outside their tanks. Just do not cover the ventilation areas. Also I find they prefer a solid dark color, anything light covering the tank spooks them.
