Frog-eyed Gecko enclosure (pictures)

[DragnDrop]

Heat is supplied by a Zoo-med heat cable. Hides are PVC pipes, 'Add-a-drawer' units (minus the drawers :) ) half the cover of a discarded fluorescent light fixture and siliconed rock piles. Extra calcium is supplied in a lid siliconed to a rock and slab of slate beside the humid hide.

Real ncie gecko and enclosure. Frog Eyed is on my list of 10-20 reptiles I hope to own in the near future :P

What are you using as a substrate in there?

[DragnDrop]

The substrate is washed play sand. Unlike so many geckos in captivity, frog-eyes really are sand-dwellers, they even have specialized toes to help them walk over the sand. I've been trying to get a good picture of the 'toe fringes' they have, but the geckos aren't too willing to stand still and wait for me to focus on their hairy toes. :) Cleaning it isn't a problem, they've each got their own idea of where the bathroom is. Molly uses the back right corner, Ducky uses the front right just beside the square rock.

Very Nice! Viper Geckos are true sand dwelling geckos correct?

GekkoGekk0 has a desert dweelling gecko that has some special feet aswell, webbed feet for digging :D

DragnDrop, I keep a true sand-dwelling gecko too, Kevin mentioned it above. Have you ever seen Palmatogecko rangei, the web-footed gecko? I have pictures in my photo gallery on here.

The Teratoscincus geckos, they have unusual scales on their toes. Very unusual, but quite visually appealing.

At least your frog-eyed geckos have a bathroom area! My web-footed gecko just goes wherever he pleases. Luckily, he usually buries it like a cat. :)

It's sort of nice to see something out of the norm of leos and cresteds. Not that they're not adorable in their ways, too. :)

sweet set up

[DragnDrop]

Thanks for the compliments :)

I've seen Palmatogecko rangei, even thought of getting them instead of the Froggies, but the Froggies are a sexed pair, so they won out. I'm still thinking of getting a pair of P. rangei though, they're so cute. I really love the desert set-ups, so I'm getting that infamous 'new gecko' itch leaning towards sand-dwellers for a few species (not that I don't love my other geckos).

The tank is from a pet store that went bankrupt, but I don't know which one. I got 10 tanks sent to me by a friend in Virginia who thought I could use a few light weight tanks. Being of the female persuasion, he figured the acrylic would be easier for me to lug around. He got the tanks for $5 US each, but spent a fortune sending them (via courier of all things!) to me in Ontario. But they're great tanks :)
