Leopard gecko condominium...

While Lilly is in quarantine from Lexi and Libby, I figured she should at least have decent living quarters

It's one of those plastic 3 drawer 'organizers' for desks, each drawer is about 3" in height, and about a foot deep. I cut a hole in the bottom of the top drawer, about 6" by 5", and covered the plastic edges with masking tape so they weren't sharp... she can go from the top drawer to the bottom drawer (I've got her humid hide positioned below the hole as a 'step' for her to use).. fortunately, she's only got another month or so in the quarantine before she goes into 'general population' with the other 2 girls

That is very cool :P

I have a spare one like that maybe I should use it.... Only problem would be heating it... I guess I could put the heat mat inside and on low

actually, I've got the heat pad underneath the middle drawer, and I flipped the bottom drawer upside down to help sandwich it between the bottom drawer and bottom of the middle drawer.. works well

I really like that idea...I may have to steal it to quarantine my leos from now on....**evil laugh** lol. Wonderful idea. She may not even want to leave!!

That is a really cool idea I like it!!! Just one question though.....has she ever escaped out of it or is there any way that she could?

Again i think its a great idea I have a few of those drawer sets so i'll have to try it
