hey guys,

i have a 3 foot long cage, 1 foot deep, and i foot tall....it is a desert type setup.

i am looking fo a type of gecko species to put in it, but am unsure.....i am looking fo something outta the box. The gecko's need to be somewhat social....i plan on breeding them too

i will post pics once i find my firggin USB cord!

thanks in advance,
eric

That should be fine for 2 Pictus geckos. Or Two Helmet Geckos.

well those are very interesting choices, BUT they will not be able to live in my desert cage.

I have a PVC pipe hideout that divides the cage in half and acts as a hide the pipe is about 4 inches tall and thick...with a ramp leading from one side of the cage to the other....on one side of the cage it is 2 inches of gravel and sand....one the other side it is 5 inches of sand with scattered leaves and lots of rocks..... there is a corkbark ramp leading over the gravel and pipe hideout to the sand....

i dont really think such small lizards could climb up it

i will post pics once i find my F****** USB CORD!!!!

ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?

You could get one or two leopard geckos. The are easy to breed and get used to handling. They rarely bite.

why do you have a cage that is already set-up?
if it is because you had a previous animal in the cage, you should consider doing a complete redo and clean out the cage decorations. this would be a good husbandry practice and would most likely allow you to consider getting more species of geckos/lizards for your cage size.

i designed this cage because i recently bought a bokk entitled " Design and Maintenance of Desert Vivaria". i had this cage lying around and decided to use it and make a nice attractive, naturalistic desert cage.

Yes is did hold other animals before....it held a Blue tongue skink 4 years ago....since then the cage has been sanatized with a 5% bleach solution.....then thoroughly washed and soaked in water and then towel dried...it soaked for 1 week

excuse me for creating a cage out of my own interest!

"excuse me for creating a cage out of my own interest!"
alright, whatever, since my first post was so threatening.
since you take offense to the information i have ( that is not meant to be offensive), i will not share anymore of my thoughts with you. good day.
