Nice setup and geckos.


How hard it is to maintain a planted setup like that? I can barely keep my houseplants alive lol.
Thanks MAC. It's not too difficult to keep the plants alive. I just make sure to spray them everyday seeing how that's the only way these geckos obtain water and I give the soil a good soaking in each plant container once a week. So far so good. I like to keep the plants in their original containers. That way if they start to die or whatever they can be easily removed.

Don't know how many house plants I have killed by trying to do a good thing by moving them to new/bigger pots:eek::rofl:

Most houseplants originate from places that have high humidity. So in a setup like that for the geckos the plants should thrive. I had some plants in inclosed containers and they grew nicely but when they werent in there containers they died. Pothos and philodenrons love high humidity so do dieffenbachia's granted dieffens are not suitable for geckos due to there toxic nature.

Nice gecko's Vicious. If I lived near you ide prob go over alot not to visit you but to visit your large array of pets. Lizards geckos fish turtles lol
