Hi all.
Just finishing my new giant gecko enclosure. 250 gal arboreal tank with cork bacground moss substrate.
Now I just have to slap in the glass door (when I get it) and throw the geckoes in (exept I can't find a breeder who has them) :)

NJice cage as usual. I don't think you are goign to get a breeder from anyone on this forum. You're too far away to ship.

Thanx all. :)
I spent alot of time building this one.
I just hope it works out as planned.
As it looks now I might have to change the substrate.
In the bottom I have 1 inch of gravel, then a sythetic cloth then 6 inches of soil.
With this amount of soil and moss on top it seems that the soil has problems drying up. Up last week I poured in about 7 gallons of water and almost nothing has run through to the drainage tank (hidden beneath the terarium in a false bottom).
If the soil is kept too moist all the time the roots of my trees might rot.

Does someone know of a substrate that lets wather through relatively easy but still can be used as a planting medium?

Also, do you know of a plant that doesn't grow big and likes very dark condiditons? I have a dark corner I would like to fill in.
Regards
