Pics of New Day Gecko Viv -- Any thoughts?

ctdkite Jun 29, 2003 02:08 PM

I have posted pictures of my new vivarium at: http://www.csicable.net/~cdodson/Geckoviv/Geckoviv.html

This is my first serious gecko viv and I mostly incorporated what I learned from my frog tanks. I thought some might find it interesting and would be interested in any feedback.

Awesome tank!!! I just built a terrarium for my giant day recently but it still needs a lot of work. Just curious but how are you using grapevine in such a humid environment. Aren't you worried about rotting and fungus with this type of wood? I would love to use it but have had bad experiences with it in the past? Beautiful day gecko btw.

That is a good question about the grapewood. I would not have used it if this was a dart frog tank. My intention here is to have a humid environment -- with some dampness in certain spots-- but not an overall damp environment. I'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

Admittedly, when I saw the piece I knew it was what I looking for. Perhaps I rationalized it for aesthetic reasons.

The wood does not, however, form any part of the landscape and could be easily replaced if it rots out.

Thanks for the comments.
