Nice looking set up man! The masobe are looking good too.

Thanks. I have to tell I have noticed a 100% difference in their behavior since they have been in that cage. They feed in front of me, they are over all less timid. They love that stump. I made it out of a huge cork bark round. For some reason the crickets all head for the stump's cover I made out of screen and moss. So the masobes wake up climb to the top and start eating. In the exo-terra I had them caged in it always seemed like they were hiding. I think they feel way more secure in a cage with only one see through door and 3 solid colored sides. Plus it is 4 times the size of the XL arboreal exo-terra offers, a little more room to stretch.

Nice Set-up, I like the Cork Tower Hide.
What are the overall dimensions of that?

Very Nice Enclosure, the masobe look good as well

The stump is about 30 inches tall with roughly a 10-15 inch diameter. It is not perfectly round so the diameter varies. I took one huge cork tube and cut it in half. I then used foam and screen to create two different sections that lock into each other. The top section is accessible by flipping back the moss covered screen top. The bottom section I can access by unlocking and lifting off the top section. So I can look for eggs.

All of the habitat information I could find on the Masobe stated that they are mainly a trunk dwelling species. That is why I decided to make the stump. If I had the room in the tank I was going to plant a dwarf banana tree in there, but I decided that this would be more of manageable direction. So the cage has the stump and in front of that are two Buda's Palm plants starting to sprout along with a ficus in the right hand corner and some pothos in the rear of the cage, not pictured.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

hi what are the dimensions exactly, looking to build something like yours.

do you provide any extra heating, if so what type; i know these gecko's like it relatively cool, but in my house in the UK it drops to 18C overnight sometimes lower.

It looks great!

It is approximately 30"w x30"d x 36"H. There is no added heat, the fluorescent light provides only a little heat during the day, but never above 76*f. Room drops to about 60-65*f at night.
