Making a Viv.

Beryl Nov 06, 2003 03:19 PM

I am thinking about getting a couple of female leopard geckos and wanted to know how to make them a cool viv. What sort of things could I put in with them? Do you guys have any pictures of your vivs?

Here is a halfway decent picture of my largest cage; I tried to keep it pretty simple. I keep 5 females in it at the time. They all poop in one corner, so I just put a piece of paper towel there, and change it every other day. If you like the tiles, they should have lots of colors/textures to choose from at your local hardware store, and you can even have them cut it for you. Just stay away from glazed slate/tiles, because the leos won't be able to grip it well. Best of luck with your new cage!

This is one I build myself. Made from Plywood.

Substrate Coral with lots of bark and rocks.

This was done by my grandfather (I did the rock-background-thingy). I'm still looking for a little bit smaller plastic plants to replace the ones that are the now, they just don't look like they would live in same place with leopardgeckos. This is about 120*45*45cm.
