That would be correct, but this enclosure isn't for a Leo, but something that needs higher humidity.

Re: Finished My Geckos' New Enclosure

well, somewhat humid, i usualy shoot for about 40%-60%. I just added live plants today, hopefully i'll get a few new photo's with them in, but they may maintain a bit more humidity.

Re: Finished My Geckos' New Enclosure

The tank with added live plants, i used a more desertlike warm, lower water tolerant plant on the hot sife, and two somewhat more tropical, moderate light, moderate water plant for the other side.


Front


Cool Side


Hot Side

Whatya all think?

Re: Finished My Geckos' New Enclosure

Just Reposting the pictures of the tank, had some photobucket trouble.
also posting the only decent picture i've managed to get of the little guy, he tends to get a bit lost in his cage. makes snapping photos of him...tricky, but hey, he seems to love it, so i'm not complaining.

Re: Finished My Geckos' New Enclosure

Thanks.
Actualy, I started and Finished most of it in one night, but i had spent a few days beforehand getting everything together, the tank, making sure i had enough substrate, picking out the decorations, then the night i bought the screen lid from work i came home and finished it up, the live plants were added a day or two later.

It really was'nt hard, or too expensive.
