I think the crux of the issue is that most of the space in the enclosure is open air, and thus not usable by the gecko. It does look extremely cool, nobody is contesting that. But you could keep the coolness and add to it while providing more usable living space for the Uro by placing several vertically oriented branches in the dead air space.

I'm sure you can do it and make the enclosure even cooler, you seem very capable.

I originally thought they would enjoy the design, but they were trampling plants and I decided it would be best to put them in another tank. They are now in an 18 x 18 x 18 cube with many vertical branches, leaf litter and pothos. They are SO much happier! As for the hex, i added some bromeliads and put in a trio of banded Dendrobates leucomelas. I will post pictures soon!

Good that you switched them! What size tanks will a pair of Uroplatus sikorae require when mature?

Look forward to seeing your hex with the new occupants!
