Here they are, finally! Oh I know they need some weight on them, I just got them over a week ago.

Thanks For Looking!

Sure. It was pretty easy, but time consuming! I used Great Stuff Gap Filler and put pots into it so I could plant it. Then I covered it with black silicone and then added ground coconut husk fiber (Bed-A-Beast), while the silicone was still wet. The orchid is pinned to the foam background with a piece of galvanized wire, and the tillandsia on it was stuck into a hole w/silicone. You have to let the gap filler cure completely before using the silicone. You can cut off excess foam as needed. After the silicone dried, I vacuumed out the rest of the coco-husk and and did touch ups. I got the idea from this site: Front-Opening Showcase Vivarium How-To

VERY nice looking geckos! I have a pair, and love them to death! Beautiful colors, no? I even appreciate the females because they're so subtle. I love your set up - I'll soon be doing that and have some things on order to fulfill my dream! :)



(grrr, my signature isn't showing .. any tips?)

They are definitely gorgeous! I made the terrarium with these guys in mind. I started making it in January, planting it February all the way through March (had to order some plants), and finally got them in it this week! It took a while, and LOTS of $, but it was WAY worth it!

How much

Here they are, finally! Oh I know they need some weight on them, I just got them over a week ago.

Thanks For Looking!

I know I am getting on this post a little late, but would you mind giving me an idea of how much these little guys cost and where you purchased them?

Thanks!

I purchased them from an importer that was selling them on kingsnake.com. They were $165 for the trio shipped. I had to wait over a month before the importer had enough females for a trio. I've seen them at a lps for $200 a pair (and wild caught at that). A few years ago, they were $1000 a pair! But now they are cheaper. I really hope enough people breed them to end the exporting from Tanzania. I may have babies in a couple months. I have three eggs in the incubator, but they may go bad (2 fell, one was dislodged), so we'll have to wait and see. I will be selling all of the babies my trio produces. They should be mite free too (unlike the majority of WC specimens). I will be posting them for sale here and on my website Welcome to ATX Geckos!

Cool

If you don't mind, PM me when they are ready to sell. If my enclosure is ready I may be looking to purchase.

I got mine at the local Pet Zoo - but they don't usually carry them. I guess they were expecting dwarf newts or something, but got three L. williamsi by mistake. Unfortunately, it was 2 males and a female, so they had to separate them. I bought a pair for $100 each.

I also have eggs, but she only laid one at a time - I have 2 eggs about a month apart. If they hatch, I'll most likely be selling the babies. :)
