Gecko Tank Under Construction

Thanks everyone. It's definitely coming along, slow but surely!

you should start sellin those, i would buy.......... 3 :D

Lol, yeah I was thinking about that, but they are somewhat fragile. I'd be afraid they would break during shipping. Plus it's pretty darn heavy!

Sorry it's been a while folks!

Anyways, I painted the whole front and sides with 3 coats of buff colored tile grout mixed with playsand. While it was still wet I lightly sprinkled a coating of playsand over it.

After drying for 2 days it was time to put the cage together. I put a couple pieces of ceramic tile on the bottom. It disperses the heat better from the under tank heater.

And here's the tank with all the deco finally stuck in it. I placed in a bunch of large, flat stones and added screened playsand to the cracks to keep things from shifting. It's not completely finished, I'm still moving some stuff around until I get it to where I want it. I also want to add some type of hanging plant for the top right corner. Yes, those are real plants. One is an aloe and the other is a type of Snake Plant. They geckos seem very interested in their new tank. They've checked out just about every nook and cranny!

Wow so you got a wife who is hot AND plays the drums!!!! Is there anything you DONT have? LOL
 
Wow VF, that's really awesome. As nice as that driftwood is, I still feel like its obscuring all the awesome work you did on the back. Really well done!
