Just out of curiosity, is the "spray bottle" just for water?

I use it to mist the tank and he doesn't like getting squirted lol, actually I think its more the squirting sound he doesn't like :lol: sounds kinda like a hiss :shock:

Haha, I wish Revel wasn't hiding in her paper roll--I want to see her! ;-)

Thanks for sharing a view of your setups, and here's to seeing them grow (as in, more geckos)! :yahoo::coverlaugh:

I don't want to be the guy who rips on people care, but the cham really should be in an all screen viv. Glass reflects too much and stresses them out, also not enough ventilation. Everything else looks top notch though! Congrats on the beauties :D

...I personally would get a screen cage for him and see the empty glass tank as a great opportunity to get an arboreal gecko or two! Oedura are a good arboreal choice for the leo lovers!

I've been told this a few times.... as far as ventilation goes, I have him out a lot or the door open if I'm in the room anyway so I don't think thats a problem. As for the reflection issue, I spray the glass so it doesn't reflect much and goes foggy when it drys. Chances are I'll prob have to get a bigger cage for him when he grows up so I'll look into it then :)

As far as I'm concerned hes eating, drinking, pooping, shedding, basking alright and he seems perfectly happy so I've done my job :)

I'll deffi look into those species for when he moves out of it though :banana:

Yeah will do, I know but I just wanted to get that out as a few people have told me that already :)

I like the look of the cat geckos, what do you think about keeping them in there? are they friendly?

Cat geckos are not friendly at all, very shy with people and territorial towards other geckos. An 18x18x18 is minimum for a pair. They can be hardy when CB, but I generally recommend them for medium-advanced gecko keepers. I'm not saying that you couldn't handle them, I'm just letting you know that they're not the easiest pets to keep, esp when compared to a leo.

As far as arboreals go cresteds are the most common and easiest, although I think I enjoy my velvet geckos more. In fact, Oedura marmorata, or marbled velvet gecko, is pretty much an arboreal leo. The care on them is darn near identical.
 
Id be carefull with the pothos. They are toxic and Chameleons have been known to snack on plants. I do recomend a screen cage. Everything else looks good though.

I got a Pothos because they're recommended for Chameleons... he has chewed on it before and been fine :)

Ok thanks for that, I'll look into other species :)
