While scrolling through the beautiful morphs at The Urban Gecko, the name made me think about what a cool looking tank could be created using an unnatural theme like a cityscape. Using hides that looked like old cars, turned over trash cans, sewer pipes or dumpsters, all "sprayed" with colorful graffiti art (with gecko related terms, of course) A city backdrop could be used.
I mean, the setups people commonly use are not really close to the true natural settings the animals live in, and obviously something like this would not work for a breeder, just people with a few animals. The "display" is almost like artwork, something to enjoy viewing even when the gecko is snoozing, and the interaction of watching little heads pop out of the decor could be fun.
And any theme could work: ancient ruins, a marketplace, a castle. Your imagination could go wild. I've seen great decor like this for aquariums, but not much for reptile tanks.
Has anyone seen this sort of thing done? Any photos? Reasons why this idea would totally suck?
