Nephruru Environment...Please read

ira Sep 28, 2003 11:47 PM

I'd like to set up an environment as natural as possible with as little maintenance as possible. I have a 55 gallon aquarium that I'd like to convert into a showcase but would like ideas. As far as the species goes, it would probably be a trio of N. milii, based soley on cost, other species that I am thinking about are N. amyea and N. levis levis. I am moving to college soon and want to keep at least some of my reptile life alive in a fashion that is appealing to all. Please any ideas on how to set up the terrarium with substrate type, depth, live or fake plants, rock size/formations would be greatly appreciated. Also anyone who knows of those species being offered for sale please let me know. Thank you

I keep my stenodactylus geckos in a natural setup, with 2 inches of sand substrate, lots of cork pieces, and stacked rock formations. I used to keep catus plants in there too, and they worked great. I find that natural desert setups are alot easier to do than tropical setups, but its really up to you on how you go seting up YOUR tank. Driftwood pieces are a great addition too.
