Cage setup?

[lillyorchid]

How do you all have your leo cages setup? Please post pictures. I'm looking to redo my new leo's cage this week. Would like some idea's!

I'll get pictures of my Leo's tank on Tuesday when I get back to my mum's house.

I just had redone her enclosure last night, adding a few more things in it. The hides aren't identical, but they do well for her since she love to climb all over the place. I have my leo in a 20g tank and on white sand. She has a few plants in there and a large water dish for her to soak in and drink from. She has a rock-formation hide on the cool side, half log & another rock formation hide on the warm side. For a heat source, I just use a lamp. Sometime soon I would love to get a UTH instead, but the lamp does well for now. I have to add in her humid hide when I get back, but there was no space in the enclosure so I had to take it out. I'm still moving things around though. There is a lot for her to climb on in the enclosure, since she loves to climb all over the place at night LOL.

I'd really recommend staying away from loose substrates, including sand, cocofiber, reptibark, etc. For the geckos I have in tanks, I use tile. I found slate tile at Home Depot that came in small squares so I sort of have a cobblestone look. I have two identical hides - one one the warm side and one on the cool side. The hides shouldn't be too big - just big enough for the gecko to squeeze in and feel secure. In the middle I have a homemade humid hide. Then there's a water bowl and a food dish with calcium w/o D3 in it (and sometimes also some sort of little dish for the calcium instead). I create a heat gradient using an UTH hooked up to a thermostat, and have a thermometer with the probe under the warm hide. I like to have some sort of background for decoration.

Here's a picture of Pip's tank, a 20 long:


Here's Godzilla's tank (for now.. it's a 10 and I'm going to move him up to a 20L once I get some more tile):

This is how I have mine setup and I really like it.

Leos don't need a ton of space. My 2/3 grown young adult female is in a 16q tub that is shorter than most.

She gets one hide, some foliage, a low water bowl, and a feeding bowl. She is on paper towels because they will eat their substrate.

Tubs and 20G long Paper towels and hides. and PVC endcaps for water and food dishes.

I like my enclosures to be CLEAN and very easy to clean and disinfect, so simple is better for me and my habits.

Mine are in a rack system so mine are VERY simple too. I use paper towels for substrate, food storage containers for hides, happy meal white milk cap filled with calcium w/out vita d, and water bowels. Here are some more elaborate set ups for you too look at though http://www.geckoforums.net/showthrea...ht=cage+set+up
