That's so amazingly adorable! You don't know how badly I want to get Tobias a great tank with a fountain and things of that nature.

Cuties!

I would not have any of it were it not for Sam. I only had room for one photo in my gallery here. This is my favorite; Otis stayed on the fountain for a long time that day.

It's almost like the fountain is so soothing that it's causing him to relax to the point of sleep... hehe... real adorable.

Hehehe, I had room for one more. This is Hermes, the single survivor of Saige's clutch. He is 3 months old today.

He is getting some nice colors and is a very mellow little guy. He'll have to go to a new home soon and that is going to be really difficult for me.

Nice job with them Valerie. Looks like Otis is enjoying the fresh air around the waterfalls.

Ever stand by one, or even where there are alot of green plants, more oxygen, better breathing

I have allergies and appreciate being able to breath well

He looks very content! Neat set up!

Cricket really loves fountains too !
Make sure they are all eaten or they are going to drown themselves !!

I used to have a crappy fountain and when the light went off, the water pump is stopped too. Then the crickets went by the tube and blocked the shower...

Just forget it, I'm just jealous !

so in that respect make sure if they are drinking from it that it is not contaminated.

I had a friend whos baby water dragon got a deadly bacterial infection from a fountain, with decayed bugs.

They are great as long as they are kept sterile, all the parts cleaned frequently !

Thanks for the warnings! We have had the fountain for about a month now, and no crickets have died in it. I think this is because there are no pools of water. I got pebbles and filled all the pools. A bigger rock covers the drain without occluding it. The water can run under the rock, but nothing very big can get into the drain. If a cricket gets caught in the running water, he is carried to the base of the fountain where the pepples are and can then get out. The lizards lick at droplets that have splashed out or drink right from the stream at the top. Otis about sticks his whole head in the top pot to drink. I empty the fountain and wash it regularly. I like it because the pump is right on the electric cord, and could easily be replaced without having to replace the fountain. I have seen replacement pumps at Hobby Lobby for people who are making their own fountains. I clean the pump by pumping water with a few drops of Clorox through it, then pump lots of fresh water through to remove the Clorox. Anyway, so far, so good.
