My camera poop'd. So I need to buy a new one. The last pictures I got was when I was letting it dry. So you can settle for that, I guess. I'd love to show it to you all nice and dry, but my camera's stupid and my phone doesn't show the whole tank, it's too small.

The other half I was going to use for GiGi. She's very particular about her tank. Slate, one branch, one strawberry hide, food bowl, water bowl, calcium dish, and her hammock. Nothing else. She goes nuts if you move her hide around. So I was going to put a glass divider between the sides to save room since I'm getting 7 more geckos. But now the glass is down, and she LOVES the clay.

Oh and I got rocks from the local beach, and just incorporated it into the set up. You can see a piece of wood for the top of the other hide. Just so it's more sturdy.

All of that is half of a 20gal long. The directions say only 1 1/2 cups water (or something like that) but I kept putting more in until the whole mixture was the consistency of clay. Before it felt like you had to pack it down to get it to stick. I probably added about 1 cup extra slowly as I mixed it with my hands.

GiGi's more photogenic. ;] I love that you can see her personality through her pictures.

GiGi's half and half.

If you TOUCH her strawberry hide (bought in the hamster section. Lol.) she will CHARGE at you full speed hissing like "oh no you just didn't!!!". It's ridiculously cute. I always tell my visitors to touch her strawberry. I tell them that she'll walk over and lick them. Lol! When they see her start to run, they freak out.

Given, I may have a new visitor once a month, so we don't stress her out too much. Haha. But since the new clay, she's been sleeping on that side. She's never spent a night out of her strawberry since she was 3 weeks old. When I continue the clay to the other side, I don't know how to incorporate her strawberry. Lol.

Build it into the clay maybe? Psycho has had her margarine tub humid hide in her tank since I got her, I would never think of removing it.
