Looks like the tile I have! It looks good and I love that bonsai tree, my first leo had one and he loved it.

Nah, after the big scare I had with Apollo I did learn more about this. She still eats, poops, and is active when outside her tank. Unless these three, or other obvious behaviors, change I am not going to panic.
That being said, I was very surprised she didn't eat the hornworms.

No weight changes despite the decline in appetite. She got a new water dish because she likes to climb on that side of her tank. Well, all of her tank really lol Each time I feed her, change her water, clean up, she approaches my hand with either curiosity, or maybe hope that she can come play. She also gets along with my wife now and loves playing "Queen of the bed" with her. Arya loves to climb on top of either Crystal or the stack of pillows we use as a barrier. Once she is up she lifts her chin proudly and stares at her

Awww that's cute. Ziggy does the same when he's not being a lazy bum, he will play king of the couch when he climbs on the top cushions.

No I usually leave him alone until he starts to wander off in places where I can't see him. Then he gets that pissy look like "Woman, why did you move me?"

I move Arya mostly so she gets some exercise, that and she is a quick and sneaky turd. She has almost escaped to hard to reach places a few times. I get the "Why?" look mostly when I try to finally put her back in her tank. She does not like going back, if possible I think she would spend all her time out of the tank.

Ziggy has become lazy, most of the reason why I want to do bio with him and I'm tired of cleaning up gecko poop. When he is out, he will curl up beside the blanket on the couch and go to sleep. He's supposed to be getting ready for bikini weather, not sleeping!
I have thought about when it warms up, over 80*, taking him outside to roam around in the pen we fashioned up for the guinea pig.

Luckily both of mine stay active when they come out. Aside from Arya claiming her throne on the pillows of course.
I would love to build some sort of play pen for them, but with how darn good Arya is at climbing I am not sure how to get anything escape proof. Because of where we live and the condition of the ground I won't take mine outside. I have learned quite a bit about soil quality, along with all the stuff that is put into the ground out here and I can't put them at the risk. Sometimes I even get worried over the odors that can attach themselves to me from work. I end up not only washing my hands, arms, and face, but I also change clothes before handling them. That is on top of changing from my work uniform into "street clothes" when I get back to the shop... Paranoid parent syndrome I guess.

Amazon.com : Small Animal Play Pen, 15" x 19" : Pet Playpens : Pet Supplies something like that would work even indoors.
I do not use any chemicals or fertilizers on my yard and I have come to terms with the weeds so I have just quit with them. I went through a container and a half of round up trying to kill them, then they came back...screw it lol.

That actually should be good Jess, thanks!! I might just go ahead and order that tonight.
I actually work for Lawn Doctor, I apply fertilizers, weed control, blah blah blah. I don't blame you for giving up on the weeds. It gets very pricey whether you do it or have someone else do it. More than a few of the properties I service get charged well over $400 each time I am there. I can visit anywhere from 3-6 times a year... Not cheap at all.
One of the issues Massachusetts has, is that a fair amount of people who do this type of work, are not licensed to do it. I had to take a one week class, and a state administered test in order to do it. Plus I have to attend a minimum of 6hrs of contact learning (more classes) per year that my license is active. Another problem that I recently learned about, is just how many people in this field do not follow the laws. One person sprayed fruit bearing trees with an insecticide that says right on the label, no contact with fruit bearing trees that will be harvested for food crops. Stuff like that just makes me worry about what has been done to the lawn where my kids play. Doesn't help that we are in an apartment complex lol

I do not blame you. I would rather do stuff myself, I usually only buy organic pesticides for my flowers and food bearing plants (neem oil works really well) because the other stuff can only be applied in between harvests and kills most beneficial bugs. I also make my own insecticidal soap from baby shampoo, tobacco juice and Listerine on occasion.
Anyways, I had a playpen like that for my guinea pig until she learned how to climb over it and would run around the house. I don't think the geckos will be able to because the metal is slick and vertical.

Yes! The gaps should not be too big, I can't remember the distance between them but they're made like the small animal cages are.
