    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

First I would like to say I have been doing a lot of research on the geckos but I have read so much I don't know what to believe or go with (we have beardies and a crested gecko) I am confused on what to house them in , some say plastic sweater containers others say 10 gallon aquariums, so my questions is which will be the best some say that don't need any lights others say they need a blue light, I do know that they need heating pad , hide box for shedding, and another hide box etc. The reason I want to know is we have a 20Long with screen top or the glass top,or the plastic container I have both, I just want the optimal conditions for the leo gekco to thrive and live to be old. Thank you in advance. Dana
 
overton is right...use what you want to... if you want to watch them more use the glass tanks... make sure they have hides at both ends a humidity box (for shedding) water and food dish... eat on one side warm side should be 90degrees cool side durring the warm months should not go below 75 at night 80 durring the day... getting a thermostand helpps with this.... big apple herp has a BAH 1000 that is reasonably priced and i understand it works very well. they need no special lighting but if you want to put a florescent light over the glass tank to see them better durring the day that is fine (just turn it off at night). as far as substrate i would do simple, paper towels or newspaper... and put whatever kind of climbing logs greenery ect you want.... of course other than the housing correct suplimentation is needed calcium, suplimenting with vits occasionally and gutloading your feeders
hope this helps
