New Crested Gecko Tank

Thanks everyone. This was my first attempt at making a coco fiber wall.

All those dots look like bubbles in the last pic.? Lovely tank BTW!

Those little dots are water droplets. I misted the cage in the final pic.

As always :clap:. It looks great. One question did you put a screen in between the gravel and the Eco-Earth? When I did my emperor scorpion tank we didn't and now I'm thinking that I might go back and put one under the coco fiber. I really like the cork bark. I used them as hides in mine. It looks much more natural then some of the wood hides.

No, I didn't put any screen down. I almost wasn't even going to add the stones but thought "what the heck". Lucky for me Crested don't come down to the ground much so I won't have to worry about digging.

Lol, that's why I made this thread, so you would know how to make one yourself! :silly:

Yea, you are right about the digging part. My scorpions haven't started digging but I have notice that the coco fiber is starting to fill in around the gravel. I just mist lightly on the surface but when I add water I have underground filter with an uplift tube that I use when I add water. It seems to be working pretty good and so far I haven't killed the plants three weeks and counting.
