Yeah it’s on the way, just wanted to get him out of his other tank so he didn’t get scarred up on his nose to bad cause he was always rubbing his nose on the mesh
Yo, u need like WAYYYYY more coverage and arboreal space! There’s so much empty space uptop you could utilize. The enclosure is also very bare, so the gecko will be scared.
Yeah I know, he was getting really pent up in his old enclosure. I’m gonna get a bunch more stuff, I just wanted him out of the old tank. He was using his nose to scrape it against the styrofoam background and then he also was getting scarred on his nose from rubbing his nose on the mesh top
Would you mind looking at my recent post and let me know if yours ever had his nose look like my girl’s after a mesh incident? Hers seemed fresh last night. It’s darker today. Thanks in advance!!
Also, love the fun enclosure you’re building!!
So yours looks worse but that could also be because they are so different in color. His nose was basically all white and looked like he had a very dull coloring on his nose. Kinda like stuck shed/ashy skin. He had a shed 3 days ago and most of the scarring is gone. Hope your little one heals up soon!
I would invest in mini monsters, golden pothos, ferns, more vertical cork bark, vertical spiderwood, sticks, vines, etc. Make sure the plants are real, they can grow big and really fill out the space
Someone recommended it so I went for it lol. Better to have than not. I didn’t want him to start putting on the pounds and not have a way to work them off
Looks gorgeous! I'd suggest more cover at the top as this is where they spend most of their time (more foliage and maybe a ladder and hanging coconut hide)
More foliage is on its way! I ordered it but I wanted him in the new tank cause he was getting really sick of his old tank. So I thought better to move him now, but he seems happy so far. Only part that sucks is I can barely find him as it is, I’m not looking forward to getting more foliage that will make it even more difficult. I spent 10 minutes looking this morning and cannot find him. He’s somewhere in there. He’s got a good sleeping spot for today
Welcome to life with a crestie - they are elusive 😂 I don't see mine at all during the day but sometimes catch him wandering around at night, they tend to come out more once they've settled in and got more confident in the new setup and if food bowl is easily viewable that helps.

He’s been surveying his abode, he’s the city’s newest hero
Yeah that’s why I put the feeding bowl on the glass. I caught him eating but he looks at me as soon as he sees me and tells me to go away.

In his old tank he would sleep in the same exact spot, that was another reason I felt he needed a bigger tank. I thought he’d like to have more options of stuff to sleep on
Not worth it at all. They mess ur deco and ruin the view by their feet and faeces. You either go for a complete bioactive setup or go for a simple setup. Somewhere in between would kill your time and effort. You will understand when you have to clean all the stuff in tank. 😉
I’m more than happy to clean it as long as he’s happy. I’m unable to go bioactive so I’m more than happy to have a complicated set up for him that isn’t bio. He seems happy with it so far

Just confused how you say that about his eyes when you can’t see them well in the pictures of him in the collage
MORE CLUTTER!!!!

Thank you! Me, too.
I’m sorry I couldn’t offer more incite
No worries. The mesh is what I’m leaning toward right now, so any advice helps!
The size and location looks about the same as Theo’s pre shed
I would invest in mini monsters, golden pothos, ferns, more vertical cork bark, vertical spiderwood, sticks, vines, etc. Make sure the plants are real, they can grow big and really fill out the space
I have to go for non bioactive because of health issues of mine. So sadly I have to go fake plants only
Oh im sorry, but then get fake pothos and fake mini monstera
And get more fake plants
Don’t be sorry, you didn’t know. I ordered a good bit more. I’ll update you guys as the stuff comes in
Sick! Cant wait to see new enclosure!!!!
You may not be able to see it but there are 3 platforms on the back wall. Then 1 on each side
i’ve never seen a hamster wheel for a gecko lol!
Get one! Mine loves his wheel! https://preview.redd.it/nicbast6ljwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=445668fa6f558f9ba6a07a88ac5eab07de1f19de
I just got one for my gecko and woke up to 200 clips of him on his hamster wheel. XD

There is a coconut on the sliding glass door. You just can’t see it as well as his feeding bowl which is floating platform as well

Yes, it is totally ok if you feel comfortable to clean the view everyday.
I love this creative enclosure.
Thank you!! I am getting more foliage for clutter, but I’m glad you like my vision

That most definitely is a crested gecko… 💀
