Default Phantasticus setups

when i started with the animals almost a year ago


Now


U can't see it very well, but the pothos in the back has grown A LOT.

Next pic is setup for the juveniles. Less plants for better monitoring.




I'm open for feedback so fire at will .

There's a layer of claybeads covered with flyscreen covered witch eco-earth covered with dead leaves. Twice a day there's being sprayed (automatic) for around a minute. Every week i drain the bead layer. Always moist

In the front left corner, there's a tube running through all the layers. i put a small hose through it and suck a bit at the lower end so the water comes through. The beautiful law of communicating vessels ^^

Looking good mallick, have you any problems with the hacthlings not finding their food in their viv?

Think its a funny way how the ficus has grown, have you been cutting it back?

I did not cut back the ficus. I tend to do no since it's growing through the top screen.
I always make sure the eat 2 crickets i offer with tweezers twice a week.

As for crested i guess u could do that but i don't think it's necessary. i you spray in the morning and evening that would be sufficient.

There is a crested gecko section on this forum, I would suggest raising that question there. You may receive more answers.
