Very nice! Im always in awe of people who have that kind of ability :-D

One thing though, if you have two leos in there you will definatley want to add more hides, including a humid hide

Looks nice, but I have one question - what's the substrate? Looks too "fluffy" to be sand, but it's definitely loose, so I hope you don't feed crickets in there in order to prevent ingestion - mealworms in one of the dishes?

Looks like normal sand to me. Nice looking enclosure, what are the dimensions?

The substrate is calcium sand. I always use it for adults. The smaller white bowl had mealworms in it, but i traded it out for a much shallower dish this morning for the mealworms. Also, anytime i feed crickets, the geckos are fed outside of the cage to avoid them ingesting any sand.

I was using two hides, but the geckos would always stay together, so i took the other one out. I do have a smaller tupperware container in the cage now as a moist hide/nest box. The female should be laying her eggs any day now.

I dont remember the dimensions exactly, but it is roughly a foot and a half wide, by a foot and a half deep, by a foot tall.

Thanks for the compliments and the input
