Don't have a reptile myself, but my daughter has a veiled Chameleon named Spike. Two years ago for Xmas I built her an enclosure. The top is removable & all the wiring for the lights is up there. I've also been wondering if any lizard owners are switching to LED lighting, particularly for UV. I need to figure out another Xmas present for her, so a cool UV LED fixture would be just the ticket.

The photo is from just before completion & there's been a mod or two since. I used West System epoxy left over from my cedar strip canoe build to water proof the floor & there's a kitchen sink drain fitted down there in case it needs to be drained. The rest of the enclosure is finished with varnish. I had to add a spacer between the cage & the top earlier this year because Spike was getting too close to the light & cooking his back.

Sorry, no pics of the actual critter.

Had another baby hatch the other day (another surprise egg) from a gecko I bought... only one egg, i believe it was her first ever! healthy little baby!!! not sure of color yet!

Wow, another gravid female, lucky you! Can't wait to see what all your surprise babies grow to look like.

this last one has me baffled... no harley pattern.. could be a reverse pin.... no clue really!!!

Looks nice Laurie. I bet Reece enjoys his new bigger diggs.

Thanks I think so to.

I also said that to Doug and he says "Oh yes I bet Reese is on the phone right now, calling all his gecko friends, telling them all about it" :rolleyes: Men! :lol:

Maybe Reese needs a friend. :biggrin:

With crested gecko's you can only keep females and juveniles together in the same terrarium. Even then you have to be careful and watch for fighting as they can do a lot of damage to one another. A male and female can be kept together while breeding but should be separated after. So generally speaking it's better to kept one by itself.

Agreed!!! They are solitary creatures!!!!
