Default Housing a pair of grandis, need feedback

I recently housed my breeding pair of grandis in a 18x18x24 screen tank. The screen did not hold heat and humidty as much as I had hoped so I moved them back into an exo 18" cube. Is this adequate space or is that a detriment to their care?

If you still want to use the screened enclosure, you could tape a black (or white) trash bag to a couple sides &/or use a warm mist humidifier. I use a cheap 2 gallon warm mist humidifier in the gecko room during the winter months since our furnace sucks the house dry. It keeps their room within the proper humidity range and help keep the room warmer also.

Thanks for the tip, Andi!

This thread was mainly a tool I was using to convince my wife I NEEDED to buy a bigger tank right this second. I lost that battle, but those are good recommendations.

Definitely too small for a pair! A 1.5 ft cube is no way for 2 arboreal geckos to live! Go on craigslist I get all my cages there for really cheap
