Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was wondering, I have a freind who has a leopard gecko and I took him to my house to show him my cage and he says that it is all done totally wrong, Is this true?

Looks good to me what did your friend say was wrong with it

He didnt say anything accept for that it wasnt done right and that I shouldnt be alowed to keep geckos, In my opinion I spoil mine, That one gecko and that one cage has cost me over $200 dollars.

No i agree it looks great, plenty of room, stuff looks safe = happy gecko.
No offense but great friend you have there, if he/she can't point out whats wrong and actually condems you from ever owning pets...I think your friend believes in keeping them on sand or something.

I've got one piece of advice. Trade your "friend" in on another leo. That way you'll have another one to enjoy that palace you've created.
Great job!!

looks awesome...better than mine, but I like to keep things simple.

from the left, bowl for cricket food, fake log is a humid hide, water dish (changed every 3 days), the reptile den half in half out rock hide, and fake cactus(had laying around).

Looks cool to me man.

Looks great to me, In fact I see some ideas in your cage I am going to put to use for setting up a second tank. Where is your humid hide hidden? I love your rock cave area, and your bamboo? wood? bridge.

your friend is stupid! that tank is awesome!! i will have to make something lovely like that for my little collection. what are you using for a substrate?? it looks really awesome!

Thanks for all of the feed back, Time to answer the questions...

I use the cuttable tiles for substrate and I secured them in with silicone caulk

My humid hide is the rock cave. It works GREAT to contain the heat and humidity, My leo loves it!

I have no clue what the bamboo bridge is made of I got it at PetSmart for $9.99 And It secures on with suction cups and I rested the other side on one of my hides, I also put a rock underneath just incase the suction cups were to 'give' so It wont fall on my leo.

And all of my hides exept for the rock cave I made from the left over soft tile crafted together with silicone caulk and all of the sticky part is covered up with a brown grocery bag that I cut up (GREAT money saver!).

Once again thanks for all of the feedback! I will be sure to fill my friend in with all of the given info!

I can't believe your friend would even THINK that cage was done "all wrong".. Shows exactly what he knows.. Which seems to be next to nothing, lol. That cage is like a leo's dream home! I'm glad that some people are dedicated to give their leo's such a great home and I'd almost hate to see your friend's setup.. Good work.

P.S- I hope he reads all of this feedback.
