Re: DIY: Crested Gecko Tubs
Very nice! When I get some cresties I will definitely use this!
Re: DIY: Crested Gecko Tubs
Those look awesome I have a few questions.. do they still climb the sides as well as with glass? I have had a few people say once water drops start forming on the tubs they just cant climb them like glass. I need to stack too.. only have so much room my babies go in tubs but my adults and juvis in exo terras. like this below. Thanks for your time!

They have a little trouble climbing the plastic at first, but after the static dissipates, they can climb it just fine. Plus they can stick to the screen as well. I don't really mist the sides of the tubs as much as the fake plants and climbing branches.
I should do a test to see how well they can climb the wet tub vs. the dry tub.
I wash the tubs really well a couple times before I put the geckos in them and they can climb pretty well.
I made an order last week for some bamboo sticks, so I am waiting on those and I will be adding more hard climbing surfaces.

Very nice tubs Kaorte. :gj: I never though about putting leaves though the ventilation holes like that--that's a really great idea!
My cresteds seem to be able to climb their plastic tubs fine. Some actually climb them better after I mist, when the tubs are a little wet as opposed to dry. My adults that are in enclosures with acrylic sides, pvc back and screen fronts definitely can't hold onto the pvc part of the enclosure when it is wet though.
As far as stacking goes--that is definitely something you will want to be able to make use of if you get into cresteds at all. My herp room is covered up in stacks. The most fun are the rows upon rows of 6+ high kritter keepers...ooh you make feeding and cleaning days so much fun! :P
Re: DIY: Crested Gecko Tubs
Emily do you have a picture of your herp room? More specifically the rhac part? I really like to see how other people have setup their geckos :)
Re: DIY: Crested Gecko Tubs
Haha, um I'm not sure I can get in there at an angle where I could get a decent picture. It's a little tight. :D I have plans to redo the whole rhac portion of the room, and I will definitely get photos when that is complete. But that also involves scaling back on the geckos quite a bit in order to reduce the stacks (I may have been a bit over zealous with the breeding in the last 2 seasons and ended up with kind of a lot of babies :P ).

Lol! I know what you mean. I don't yet have my own reptile room (sad!) but I should have my own reptile "area" by this summer.
Definitely take pictures when you are done re-doing everything!
