Gecko land - new terrariums

[poskok]

I have been doing some changes about my leopard gecko’s tanks. Main change was building “underground shelters” for them. That way I saved some floor space and they seem to like it much better…

This is a tank for a male…

Flooring...is that wood?

Very nice. I love the design for both terrariums. They are functional and simplistic while still retaining a natural look, and I love the stuff you put into it like the driftwood and the slate (?) hide with the underground thingy inside. If I may ask, how much floor space do you have for these tanks? And what are you using for the flooring? I recognise the green stuff as some sort of carpet but the brown looks more like wood to me...in which case I might worry a bit about it overheating from the overhead lamp and maybe becoming a fire hazard. That's just me though. Nice work!

The green stuff, I would assume, is reptile carpet, which is known for harboring bacteria. I would switch to shelf liner. It is not as bad for bacteria as the repti carpet is. Also, what did you make the under ground out of? It looks great!

i know my females would love climbing that driftwood....i cant wait to get my bigger tank so i can do some of my own DIY.

Floor space is 50cm x 40cm. Both stuffs on the floor are sort of carpet material (brown one is the shelf liner I use only carpet for a substrate in all of my terrariums - much easier to maintain. Under it, there is 5 cm deep polystyrene with cut out space for „underground shelter“- plastic boxes with wet substrate.

Beautiful enclosures!!!!
If I didn't have so many geckos, I'd LOVE to make them each a beautiful enclosure.
