    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.

    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....

I am expecting some baby geckos soon and I was wondering the best and most cost efficient way to house baby geckos? I really don't want to buy a custum cage, I would prefer to build my own. I want them to have sufficent room and proper heating. I am very excited about this and I would love as much input as possible. I guess I am just looking for any ideas that would work. Thank you.

:thumbsup:



I also would like to know how to use heat tape properly and what material I can use it with; such as pvc, wood etc? Thank you again.
 
Leos are pretty easy IMO. I would build a rack out of melamine, and heat tape. just keep in mind melamine is NOT fire proof, but fire resistant. You can build a pretty simple, and small rack if your keeping them for a short period of time. If your keeping them to breed i would plan on building a properly sized rack. Just look on Forums and stuff im sure theres actual plans of racks. Read read read its the best thing to do. Good luck with your new little ones.

ROFL, maybe fire resistant, but I built a couple racks out of melamine (expanded pvc is ex pen sive) I used the scraps to heat the house (in a wood stove). That crap burns hotter than just about anything I've ever
stuck in there. HOT.

That is why i said resistant, many people use it with ease. But i have also heard horror stories also, like everything else in this world. Just trying to help give ideas was all....

Oh, yeah, no kidding, I was just trying to help explain with what energy melamine does burn with when it does. A LOT.
