jpstod: Madagascar Day Geckos

[jpstod]

I had purchased 2 Hatchlings a few months ago. And Today I purchased a much bigger Juvenile Day Gecko.. So Today I moved the remaining hatchling to his/her 10 Gallon Vivarium.. Hopefully it will survive..

The lady at The local Shop was shocked when I said I knew how expensive adults are, because I know how difficult it is to rear young to a large enough size to sale effectively and expect survival.

Started with an Exo Terra 18x18x24 Tank


Removed the Background and cut out for a planter with a fern at a slant


Looks tacky from the side but alot better from the front


Next I placed in the Soil (100% Natural Compost) and situated a "fake" rock I had for years and a plant in the soil


Added some Moss


Added a log




Added some pea Gravel


Added a Lianna Vine... (found in the bird section as a perch)


Checking out the new Digs..before deciding if its a good Neighbor Hood


Into the jungle


Up the Wall


And where does he hang out


And a Quick Pic of the Hatchling sneaking around

Nice setup.

If oyu dont mind me asking how much did the gecko set you back? I'm told theyre cheaper and more readily available outside the UK.

When I purchased the hatchlings they were $40.00 USD (24.6214 GBP) Each plus shipping. The juvenile I paid $49.99 (30.7691 GBP) at the shop.


** Based on the rate 1 USD = 0.615505 GBP
