My decorating instincts have run amok, and I upgraded Elvis the Crested Gecko's enclosure. Here's a photo:
The substrate is stone tiles (marble, actually, ooh la la!), as well as some florist's moss. The plants are a stalk of "lucky bamboo," as well as some pothos cuttings (all rooting in a glass of water filled with glass pebbles). There is a bromeliad in a clay pot -- the potting soil is covered with more florist's moss. There is driftwood for climbing, a couple of hollow bamboo lengths that he likes to hide in, and a habba hut-type half-hollow log in the back. He's got a food dish near the back, too, sitting on the floor. I plan to use a grow light during the day, hung above the tank for the plants.
The background is cork tiles, which are actually attached to the outside of the back of the tank with packing tape. In the future I'd like to figure out how to attach them on the inside, and maybe attach some moss or small pots for the plants to that.
I like how it all looks, and I figure on removing and replacing the moss once a month or so, and giving the whole tank a good cleaning at the same time.
My question is: is the florist's moss safe for him? He loves to go around licking up water droplets, and I am a little concerned that it could be an impaction risk if he licks in too many moss particles. He's a little guy, about 3.5 inches long. Haven't weighed him yet, as he really just wants to be left alone (poor guy, all the redecorating is a bit much for him -- though he seemed to really have fun exploring it all last night when he emerged from hiding).
...Its lookin great Amy!!
