They aren't that shy

Together on the same tube of corkbark:

That is an incredible looking set-up you have there. It looks very natural and I bet the geckos love it. Are they both females or is one (or both...) male? And how do you get that corkbark to stay on the back wall like that? I can sort of see a clay or grout wall back there but I don't see how you could nail the corkbark to it.

Thanks ! The one above is the male and the other one is the female.
I attached the piece of corkbark with some 3'' screws going trough the backwall and wood where the backwall is placed on. The big advantage is that I can remove the piece of corkbark if necessary.

Does the corkbark hinge onto the nails imbedded into the back wall or did you put the nails into the corkbark so that it could be anchored onto the wall?

Ahh OK. Cool. I'll have to try that the next (first, actually) time I make a back wall. In the meantime, MORE PICTURES
