Fair enough, I don't have a problem with keeping leopard geckos in a more "traditonal" enclosure but I personally like to watch them show of a more natural range of behaviour. I kept my first gecko in a 10 gallon cage for about a year with a heat pad and on repti-carpet and all she did was sleep and come out when I turned out the lights to eat. She was perfectly healthy but I prefer to actually see my geckos and watch them explore throughout the day if that makes any sense.

I think a larger, less barren enclosure is awesome! Definetely more interesting. I don't keep my geckos in 10 gallons either. I simply believe your temps are too high and lamps are drying. Contributing to the shedding issue.

It is haha I definitely enjoy it. As for the high temps, my male leo lives in a 4x2x2 (originally built for a female peacock monitor but one was never available) enclosure so he has plenty of space to cool off. He would have a group of females living with him but he is a very aggressive breeder so he lives alone. Imo a 110f basking spot is not that high but to each his own lol
