Smeagol's new home..

[zina10]

So anyways!!! Zina, you never did tell me what temp/humidity gauge that is. I like it.

Sorry, just got home and hate trying to find links and whatnot on the phone. Here it is on Amazon, its being sold under different names, but its always the same. I have 2 of them, one failed within a few months, but the other one has been going strong ! Also used them in my incubator..

I ordered a backup Accurite to use inside of the enclosure, but I kind of like having one on the outside and only the probes inside..

Thanks. Yeah i use the Acurites now and had my first failure. The display started missing sections on it. Of course its the one from Rango's cage which is the least destroyed one. Caesar pushes his into his water bowl twice, poops on it, pisses on it and it still is going strong lol.

And yeah, i do like the idea of just a probe inside the cage for the reasons stated above haha.

Smeagol is one spoiled gecko!!! how much bigger is this enclosure from the critter keeper? and how big do you plan on going? just curious.

This Exo Terra cage is 12 inches wide and deep and 18 inches high. I think the Critter Keeper was 11 inches wide, 8 deep and 8 high or so ? It just made maintenance a nightmare.

After I put Smeagol into his new home he disappeared. I could literally not see him and I bet he liked that, haha. But...now he is out in the open, way up high in the left corner. Watching me. I wonder whether he is braver because he is "above" me? He never stayed out facing me like that, before.

I hope he will settle in quickly, I hate the thought of the small animals being terrified..


Oh, forgot to say, adults are usually kept in Exo Terras that are 18 inches wide and deep and 24 inches high. I didn't want to overwhelm him with a giant enclosure since he's been in really small ones up to now, though..

Here he is now. In the upper left corner...just watching me. He has never done this before while lights were on. Sorry about all the reflections. There is no light on over his enclosure either, that is a reflection of the ceiling light.




And a picture from when I moved him...

And...He found his favorite spot. Each morning I find him in the same plant. The cool thing about it is that it is in full view to me. He must not be feeling to unsecure because there are areas in that cage where he would be far more hidden.


Where's the Gecko?

His new enclosure looks fantastic Zina!!! I thought the critter keeper was great, but this takes it to another level. You've got a great eye for viv design!

You know, I bet you could design and sell decorated reptile enclosures.
