Hello, we live in south eastern Virginia, and have been gecko collectors for about five years. My husband used to work at a plant nursery and about seven years ago he came home with his first tree frogs. We put them in a ten gallon with a few plants. Then he brought home a baby painter turtle and we upgraded to a 30 gallon. The hobby just grew from there. We now have a 75 gallon tank with a screen enclosure that almost reaches our ceiling. That houses an eastern box turtle, a male crested gecko, a female crested gecko, a red-eyed tree frog, various tree frogs indigenous to our area and a spotted gecko. We also have a twenty gallon housing a male golden gecko and a 15 gallon with a screen enclosure fitted on top of it that houses a pair of tokay geckos. The hobby has become too much for us to maintain. Tragedy struck last month when our heat went out and we lost our male golden's mate and our red female crested. It was heart breaking, especially since both had just laid eggs, I think that doubled with the cold bvroke down thier little bodies. At this point we have decided to downsize to the one big tank. If you know anyone interested in a male golden or a pair of tokays, please let me know! Sorry for the long intro!
