jpstodwftexas: New Marble Gecko Vivarium

[jpstodwftexas]

Well I got around to finally using the Waterfall I bought at last years NABRC in Arlington.
Here is the old set up


and here is The New.

Here is a View Of the Top of the Old Tank for those of you who ask if 6500 K Buld is Sufficent for Plant growth. The Plants had grown through the Screen Top and into the Light Fixture.

A Few Minor details before I move over the Gecko from the Old Tank. Like blocking the Top of the Water Fall Pump Access. Adding a Top.
I will take more pictures later. As Always there are more Pictures on My Webshot Album

Nice , the old set up was also nice. How did the plants grow through the screen.
I would think when you opened the tank to feed,clean that would prevent plants from going through screen.

Do you house a pair of marbleds?

 

[jpstodwftexas]

I have a single Marbled Gecko..

I do want more though.

I got better advice about a Cage so this will house something else...Thinking Fire Bellied Frogs since the are readily available at Pet stores.

I would barely open the lid to drop in crickets...

I will be working on a Vertical Gage for Kitra.

Is that pea-gravel as substrate? I did not know plants grew so well in something like that. It looks great!

Did the plants "eat" the waste?

I recall reading they are bred in captivity and M/F get along . Yes a pair would be nice.

 

[jpstodwftexas]

Yes it is pea gravel...

The Plants are in pots with Soil..

I have insects in the Gages to break down waste..Rollie pollies, earth worms, spring-tails.

I Mist and Fog the Tank for Moisture

I frankly think that your old tank was nicer then the new one but that´s just me. What exact species of marble gecko are we talking about

 

[Mad About Cichlids]

Nice setups.


What's the plant in before setup called?
