Default Helmet gecko terrarium.

Hello guys.

I thought i would share with you a terrarium building that i have worked on some time now for my Helmeted geckos. Inside dimensions of each part is 49x50x30cm lxwxh with a partition wall because i got two males. Thou i still got much work to do before i can put the geckos in the terrarium, i have to build another background to the other cage part, some rocks in different sizes and place light etc..







Thats all i got for the monent.

Regards
Tomas

Hi,
so im almost done here just furnishing and ventilation-net is still left, sadly the light did a change to the rock colours(6.0uvb) the new background is much more orange/red then it looks in the terrarium..





I hade a bit probleme how to place the lights but this is how i solved my fluorescent lamp issue. I saw a small hole in the wall and pulled trough the fluorencent lamp so i get 30cm uvb light in each part.

For heat i use 25w spotlight.

You will se the final result in some days. Hope you like it.

Regards.

Thanks gharial.

I use foam plates( the white cellplastic, i dont know what you call it) that i carved whit a sharp knife and after i work it with a warm-pistol to get a harder surface. I use the carving method, so i have put about 5mm off cement that i after carve cracks in before it is completly dry Which gives the rock a more natural look.
