I will be getting my first Nephrurus next week (1 amyae and 1 levis); please feel free to comment on my setups and let me know if I need to change anything:

This one will house 1 amyae male:

This one for 1 levis male:

Basically, they're both set up the same:
- Tank dimension: 56(L)x48(D)x26/36(H)
- An UTH runs at the back half of the tanks, set at 89F. Sand on the warm end is around 1-1.5 inch thick, and the cool front end 4-5 inches thick.
- The ambient temperature is usually around 72-75 in winter; 80-85 in summer.
- The black box holds moist sand, it sits just outside the edge of the UTH. Will be misted 2-3 times a week. I know the knobtails suppose to drink from the droplets.
- A small water dish is also provided; just in case I have a special knobbie that likes to drink from the water dish.
- The only difference between the amyae and levis setup is that there will be a patch of moist sand in the levis tank for digging (front right corner - thicker sand).

**Anything I'm missing?

This is for me the perfect manner to keep this kind of australian geckos... Better to keep them in boxes... You can see them without move the boxes and it´s more estetics and beutifull than it...

Good work!! congrats...

Looks nice , I love the effect of the picture used as background .
I would cover the glass between the 2 vivs though to avoid stress .

Thanks guys! :)

I have a question about misting. I understand that they get water from condensation droplets; is misting the humid box (black box at the back) every 2nd day enough? Or do I need to mist the glass in front?

I tried misting the glass last night, the water drops dried out in a couple hours. Whereas the the condensation in the humid box stayed for days.
