I had to redo the gecko setup because... well... I kill any plant I touch. Everything died in there. Oops.
I worked on the snake tanks too while I was at it.
I know you guys are jealous of this shelf
Gecko setup. The red-ish leaves on the wall are from a piece of dead grapevine I found.
Very fat and happy garter who just ate a frozen pinky that was too big for the house snake

. They are apparently either new to the hobby, or just not very popular. I'm guessing the former, since they seem to be well-liked when available. They like cooler temps, in the lower to mid 70s, damp conditions (so mist often,) but also like a lot of ventilation -- think mountain rainforests. They take small prey items, so even a full grown gecko will need medium crickets at the largest. They don't require any special lighting. The main problem is keeping the darn humidity up, and of course, making sure they drink. Like many arboreal geckos they sometimes refuse to drink from a dish, so their sole water source may be misting; a water feature, like a small waterfall, would be a good idea. I've caught my female drinking from a dish, lucky me, but dunno about the male.
