ok, im purchasing my tank this week from a guy on craiglist. he's got a whole set up but alot of it is stuff i dont need, however i can always use for other things later if need be, or give to a neighbor with her leopard gecko and dragon.

Heres what im getting for 75 bucks.... the terriarium is usually over 75 bucks so the other stuff is just for kicks lol

I need your opinions on what i can use or shouldnt use? in this set up. right now im assuming ill use the water dish the big rock thing and the backdrop thing... however the backdrop thing is about 1 inch thick and can be taken out. I like it and think it looks cool, this is the same tank i have my ball python in right now, only we bought just the tank no extra's other than backdrop.

also this week i plan on visiting walmart craft section and getting some fake vines/plants and some suction cups to hang them with. I also need substrate and have been researching it and figuring ill be using coconut stuff covered with moss, but i am open to suggestions....

how deep does it need to be to hold moisture, and how often do you have to change it??? I havnt found that on the net yet.


If i provide enought plants do I still need a hide, if so what kind?


Again I want to get setup before buying my gecko
