    Question DIY Conversion of horizontal tank to a vertical enclosure

    Does anyone have plans to convert a horizontal glass tank into a vertical enclosure for crested geckos? I have several tanks lying around and would like to convert one over.

    When I was thinking about getting a crested I had the same idea, I bookmarked this tutorial

    http://www.reptileoverload.com/diy-1...tical-vivarium

    I think its probably a bit more intensive then what you were thinking (Live Plants and False Bottom) but this is a good tutorial none the less. I also have seen some kits available as well that you can purchase with all the parts, granted if you already have the 10 gallon.

    EDIT: I found the link for the kits: http://www.junglebox.net/category/VIV.html

    I did this to side turn a tank but It could easily be adapted to a vertical it is cheap and only takes basic tools and an afternoon.
