Building Breeding Racks for Leopard Geckos

momtowildones Nov 15, 2004 10:30 AM

Where can I find some pictures of leopard geckos breeding racks? I have asked my father to build one for me and I need to show him some pics! He is a skilled craftsman but has no idea about what I am asking so he need pics and directions if available! Thanks for your help?

Also- where is a good place to buy heat tape and the accessories that go with it?

Your dad will have no trouble building a leopard gecko rack. His most likely mistake will be from his relative inexperience with geckos. The biggest mistake is building the racks with too tight of a gap which makes the boxes not slide properly and reduces ventilation. There are not escape issues with leopard geckos so this mistake should be avoided.

You can find rack building links (and pictures, obviously) at the links I listed in a thread below. I'll provide a link to that thread.

I have some general tips in that thread as well.
