Hanging/Floating Docks?

[lemongeckos]

So, maybe I'm missing some big obvious thing and everyone will laugh at me for being stupid, but has anyone ever tried hanging/floating/suction docks (made for turtles and the like) as elevated climbing space for their leo? I've seen some pretty neat ones, and I've wondered if they could possibly be an enriching element for my leo's enclosure. I don't really peep in on my gecko at night much (honestly I feel like she could be more active), but I know when I have her out she LOVES to climb. She'll climb blankets, pillows, try completely vertical objects even. Obviously I wouldn't want it too high up for her to fall and hurt herself (I'd make sure she could get on and off easily), but maybe as an area where she could look around at a different level. I don't know, it's just an idea. I've got an whole new tank to mess around with, so I'm trying to think of ways to give her a good time when she's feeling adventurous.

I'd love to know people's thoughts on the idea. She's my first reptile, I've never had anything requiring one, so I don't really know how sturdy they are. I'm also eyeing those mushroom ledges I see for crested geckos.

I think its a great idea! it would be more natural for the gecko then a hammock, if you do get one than I would try to put some weight on before letting her on it.

Sounds good to me. I have suction cup hammocks for my bearded dragons and they do intermittently fall down and have to be re-installed, so just don't put the docks too high up.
