I've had these cute Ptychozoons for about a month now, but my friend helped me get the pictures on Kingsnake.com. Here's a picture of my terrarium and you can see 2 of my 3 geckos in it.

Those are awesome. Have you seen them fly yet?

Very nice geckos and tank! How did you attach the bark to the back? I thought of doing that for my white-lines tank before.

We carefully peeled the bark off some logs we found from a recently fallen tree. Luckily, it came off in big pieces. I laid the aquarium on its side and then put silicone adhesive on the back of the bark and pressed it into place. I stacked some heavy books on the bark to hold it in place for 24 hours for the silicone to dry. I then filled in the cracks with a little more silicone and cage carpet moss pieces, cut to fit. It is important to fill in as many spaces as you can so the crickets and lizards dont crawl behond the bark. Inevitably, some smaller crickets do find their way behind it and usually get stuck and die. By the way, I got a bonus in the bark: 4 large Pine Sawyer beetles emerged shortly after that! I have since read that washing the bark thoroughly in bleach water and allowing it to dry out will eliminate unwanted pests in your terrarium. I wish I'd done that! It really adds a great aesthetic component to the cage, and my geckos spend most of their time camouflaging themselves on it.
