Damn Joe.very Implressive set ups.I like it i like it.!
Thanks Yuri! The Exo's are working great. They definately need some modifications if you plan to breed klemmeri in them, but its just so great to have doors in the front. That way I don't have to lift up the lights and the top everytime I want to get in there and do something. It results in better cared for animals at my house.
The substrate is paper towels, which people give me a hard time about a lot, but I love to use them. The reason is because they can be changed out in a flash and its easy to keep many enclosures nice and clean. I hate the spot cleaning that you have to do with natural substrate and I hate the bacteria, mold, and other nastyness that builds up in the enclosures when you mix feces, water, and warm temps.
Plus, the geckos are almost never on the ground anyways, so they don't care.
It just doesn't look as nice, thats all. But I gave up on trying to create tropical rainforests in my enclosures a while ago.
These days I focus on functionality first and appearance second. I make sure the geckos needs are all taken care of first, and also that the cage is accessible and easy to service. Once those things are addressed, then I go about trying to pretty things up with live plants and such.
Everyone has their own ways though, and Im a firm believer that there are many different ways to keep Phelsuma happy and healthy. You just gotta work with what you got!
Thanks again for the compliments guys -
