hi everyone!
I have owned leopard geckos for a little over a year. I have two geckos currently, and they are a breeding pair. I got the geckos from a girl who was neglecting them. I knew next to nothing about geckos, but quickly learned, and once their health was good and they were in a proper enclosure my female began laying eggs! Last summer all her eggs were infertile, but this season she has laid 6 so far and all are fertile.
I have found that I really enjoy breeding these geckos. I love geckos and I would like to expand my collection of geckos. I want to build a rack set-up using rubbermaid containers, as others have spoken about. My question is about heating. I am having a hard time working out how exactly I should heat the boxes. I will have metal shelving with no back, so there will be room for cords and such. I have heard of using heat tape, but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have any advice on how to get started heating? I will only have a few boxes to begin with, but in the years to come hope to add more so I want to set it up in such a way that i can accomodate a large number of boxes. Thanks for any advice!
But don't just use the tape or rope. Buy a tempature controller like one of the ones on Big apple herp's website. Anoter more expensive option with heat tape is the Helix Systems. I prefer using ZooMed's $15 heat controller a Temp Gun.
