Re: What Herp Do I Get?

Well in the pic it looks like the light is open, unprotected and inside the viv. A snake can reach up and touch the hot surface. A day gecko can jump right onto the bulb.

It's not. I'm not that dumb. There's a screen on top, and the light is sitting on top of the screen. Even at the very closest part of the screen to the light, they would still be several inches from the bulb.

It depends on what's at the show too. I've never been to a reptile show before, so I have no idea what to expect, and I dunno what will be there. I might be SOL and not have anything available I can get, which would suck.

Re: What Herp Do I Get?

Anyone familiar with these guys?
GeckoList.com - Photos of Cyrtodactylus elok (Malaysia Bow-fingered Gecko, White-eyed Forest Gecko)

From what little I could find, it looks like they're arboreal, small, and don't require super high humidity or temps.

EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like males are arboreal, but females aren't.

Re: What Herp Do I Get?

Weirdest development ever:
So I've had the door to the viv open for the past several days so I could repair it and because I looked all over in there to find her and was sure she was gone. Well tonight as I was going to bed, I happened to see some movement and saw she was hanging out inside. So either she found Narnia in there and is the worst escape artist evur, or she went back in after she escaped. Either way, it's weird. I checked her over and there was no sign of any injuries. I gave her a cricket to see if she'd eat, which she didn't, even though I haven't put food in there the past few days. So...hell if I know what happened.

Glad you found the little bugger.

Despite the (now) lack of relevancy, as for tweaking that tank so as to retain more humidity, my suggestion would have been to obtain a thin sheet of plexiglass and use silicone or hot glue to affix it over the screened area. Perhaps if you decide to revamp the tank someday, the idea will prove useful.

when I first got my boa she escaped from a completely locked enclosure. no holes are in it, no gaps, nothing, the lid was tight she was just out some how...

It's a mystery. damn animals

I just didn't know if that would interfere with my ability to see into the enclosure. Thankfully croc geckos don't need very high humidity so I doubt that'll be necessary, but if I end up with it empty again (permanently), I'll try that.
