    Question What waterfall should I get for my cresties tank?

    Heyo! So, I think I'm going to get a waterfall for my crested gecko (Bea)'s tank! His tank is a bioactive, but I didn't know what to put to fill it up until the plants grow. So I'm just using plastic leaves lol. I want something a little more natural looking! Also, he rarely drinks out of his water dish so I feel like the only time he drinks is when I mist in the evening! They would also help with the humidity! I don't think either of these are dangerous, the one from swellreptiles I'd put pebbles in the bottom so it isn't as deep. I just don't know which one out of these two to get!




    Repti-Rapids: https://www.amazon.com/Repti-Rapids-...tile+waterfall

    I think this one looks super cool! I think Bea is too big to climb into the eyes or any other small parts, and it seems safe. I think he'd like climbing on it too.
    What I don't like about this one is that some reviews say it was broken or it broke quickly.



    Swell Reptile (Medium): https://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/swe...th-pump-slate/

    I like how realistic this one looks! I'll have to put some pebbles in the pool at the bottom because it seems a little bit too deep. Also, it's from the UK so it'd take longer to arrive I think this one would look super pretty in his tank.



    So what do you think? Do you have any recommendations? Thank you!

    DIY!!!!!! I am a diy sucker. nothing guarantees satisfaction like something made exactly to your own standards.


    but this is just my preference.
    to each their own.

    I know nothing about either of these waterfalls, so take this with a grain of salt:

    I personally like the look of the swell one. And since you said you're looking for something a little more natural I think this fits that description. Combine that with th bad reviews about the other one breaking and you've got yourself a winner.
    My vote; swell

    I've had a few Exo Terra waterfalls over the years ... they look great and work fairly well although the water needed topping up fairly often and also any small snakes used to get inside , out of sight and scare the life out of me when I couldn't find them ..

    For the UK one you'd have to get a converter outlet. Their electronics run on 220v, while in the US we run our appliances on 110v, so you'd have to find one that modulates that as well as converts the outlet style. If that makes sense.

    Just because of that I'd say go with the skull one, or find the other one from a U.S. retailer.
