    That gecko cage is awesome, how did you make the dirt/substrate walls?

    I used black silicone(GE II with no mildew stuff) to cover the sides, and then used Great Stuff window sealer(blue can) to make ledges and stuff. Covered that (as its yellow) with black silicone and covered the silicone with Eco earth.

    Saw it on a gecko website.

    Very nice! With heat tape like flex watt where do you apply it on a wooden enclosure? Mine will be wood construction with Formica laminate inside and sealed with silicone for water proofing but I'm not sure as to where the heat tape goes...

    For the boa cage (my only wooden one), I cut out a hole on the bottom, covered the hole with plexiglass, and attached the heat pad/flexwatt to the outside of the plexiglass. That way my heat tape doesn't have to be set so high as it just heats through the plexiglass and Lino.

    I used silicone to seal the inside as well.
