does anyone now how to make a small
hand made gecko house?.

Here is the enclosure I'm working on. The "rock" formation that you see is made out of polystyrene outdoor faucet covers and chunks of poly I had lying around. The covers are dome shaped and I made two hides, one has a tupperwear inside for a humid hide and the other is just a plain hide.

I covered the poly with fake stone texture and then faux painted it with different colors of paint to make it look like stone. Hope this helps some.

I sealed the paint with a sealer that comes with the fake rock paint to make it waterproof and also easy to clean.

That's a good hide.

Just a thought, have you ever considered making those and putting them up for sale by request?

You might stumble on to a little fortune.

If you did have the time, how much would you sell one of those for?

Glade makes Oven safe containers that are solid black, i simply took the lid off flipped it over and cut out an opening so they could go in and out, it works and its very inexpensive. I think i got 5 of them for a few bucks at the local Smart&Final.

I use regular glade containers for humid hides.

Get some slate from a masonry( or similar.) Pile it to make a hide with a nice entrance. If you do it right you can make a slant on one side so they can bask on top since it heats up very well. My male gecko lovesthe one I made for him.
