I like!! Any problem with the heat and humidity melting the hot glue? It melts at a pretty low temp doesn't it?

No there are different types of hot glue you can get high heat but I used a general all heat type works great

I did a project last Christmas to make a X-mas tree out of babyfood jars, and I used the regular type of hot glue that you put in the glue gun, and it wouldnt stick strong enough, and the jars would constantly fall off!

What kind of glue did you use??
Im not keeping geckos anymore, but I could use something like that for my tarantulas and beardies!

Awesome idea!
