40 gal set-up for garg

[ColleenT]

So yes, I do know that Gargs prefer height in their enclosure, but for right now, my juvie will live in here. it is like 15.5 inches high, so i think it will be ok for now. I have always worried about impaction when i bred Crested geckos, so for my substrate, i use a clear rubbermaid shelf liner. This is very easy to clean, and if i feed insects, the gecko won't ingest any soil, etc.. there is real wood in here for her and also a few fake items. 2 live plants to help with humidity. i have a bulb on order which will be brighter than the temp led light. Should be here any day now.

I keep all my new Caledonian geckos the same (minus the leachies who have a large exoterra). 20 gallon tubs with cork and branches and fake foliage. I do use eco earth/sphagnum moss mix as a substrate and just converted them all over to bioactive soil with cleaner crews. I don't use any additional lighting (exception being my chahoua) or heating but the whole gecko room temps remain in the 75-78 daytime temps and cool down a bit to 72 at night.

You definitely need more vertical hides and to stuff-up the tank in general. At its current state it seems too open and empty for an arboreal gecko.

Perhaps a photo of the tank will help us determine if it is gargoyle appropriate.

Sorry Colleen. I'm at work and sometimes my work computer doesn't show photos! I will check again later today while I'm at home.
