We'll find out. In the areas these guys are found in, humidity often runs about 40-50 degrees at night/morning, so the idea is to lightly water the plants on a monday and then mist the enclosure before I go to work in the morning. This is what I did with the Uro, so we'll see how the humidity does in this situation.

Could you do fake plants like that And I really would like to see more pictures of you setup. I would love to do something like that and put all my females in there and maybe forget about breeding or breed one to two females a year!

Ok guys all these ideas has gotten me thinking, which can be bad if you only have a little tiny brain, it’s using all the brain cells so don’t ask anything else LOL... We are starting our new Leo enclosure tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out.

You could use fake plants, I'm not a fan of fake stuff but it would be a lot easier.
Colleen, Chop chop.

Now how big is the tank you have and how many Leopard Geckos do you have in there. I would realy like to do something like that. Maybe even go to like a 125 gallons for like 7 Leopard Geckos and when everyone is large enough 9 all females. And house my males underneat the large one. Because your tank made me think it looks so real compared to my plain tanks.

Nice Zane. Im glad Im not the only one who looks past the sand is bad **** lol. a lot of work on your part but it looks great.
Leomomma, I would suggest doing it for only 2 or 3, you have that many in a tank your asking for it. If they start to fight one night it would be a wreck. Not to mention if they are in top health and one gets sick, youd have to scarp the whole tank. I would think, i dont know if the natural bacteria would kill off the parasite that was there or not. I know your wanting it as a show, but that many it will get dirty fast. Do it with only a few. would what I suggest.

Thanks.
The tank is 48"x24"x24" .. I think.
I currently only have a single male in the tank. However, I plan on adding a female. I also think that too many is a bad thing. Though females are said to get a long, I would think that 7 may be pushing it. I'm not entirely sure however.

I could always put the paper towel on top of the tiles to see what happens.

Hey just a thought, maybe if you add a paper towel on top of the tile when you give her the mealies...
