So my crestie collection is going to be growing soon, and I am considering getting a 7th crestie(as soon as I find a male I like), and I am considering getting into gargoyles. I have 4 eggs, 2 which should hatch here this next month, another 2 I think in November(not sure when she laid them).
At the moment I have aquariums set up except for my littlest gecko, he/she is still small so living the life in a critter carrier. I have 4 girls in a 29, they all get along great, but with the egg laying box in there, I want to give them a little more room, so I was considering giving them my extra 55 gallon I have except it is a pain for me to get in and out of being it is so tall and where I have it placed. If I move it to my stand, then there is nothing for my 20 and 29 to be sitting on(they share a 48" long iron stand).
I want something that opens up from the front and not the top, like my exo-terra cube I have for my tarnatula, but I am not going to spend a fortune on buying a bunk of them and house all the geckos seperatly.
I was thinking of buying acrlic or plexiglass and make a big unit out of it, have one larger unit for my boy...boys when I get another male, so that way when I introduce the girlthere will be enough room for the two of them, and individual units for thee girls and egg lay boxes, wouldbe easier keeping track of who eggs are whos, instead of breeding one female at a time. But then I was thinking, ok how do I make doors, and what about ventilation? I dont exactly have the tools to cut acrlic or plexiglass, and the stuff frays easily. Would it be possibl to glue screening to it somehow? Argh to many questions!
Basicly I am wondering any of you guys/gals out there have made a custom enclosure to house more than one gecko, how ya did it, what you used and please for the love of...uh I love shoes alot so for the love of shoes show me some pics!
