Future leopard gecko tank
With my new Pro-line cages I was able to free up a 15 gallon tank that I've decided to start setting up as a leopard gecko tank. I started out by putting a coat of tan (actually "almond") silicone on the sides, back, and bottom of the tank. I used a gloved hand to spread the silicone and give it some texture. I wasn't too concerned with getting a perfect coat because the main goal was to make the future leo gecko more comfortable and feel more secure. I then went to Lowes and got some flagstone and a brick to make the stone hide/basking spot.
I've not yet decided on a substrate yet, but I'll likely go with calcium sand. I know that is controversial, but I've done some research myself and feel that it can be done safely (especially since there will be plenty of non-sandy areas in this setup).
