Hello,
I found out about this forum just a few days ago from Bryan form Snakebites . I looked arround a bit and I finaly decided to join. I have allways been pasionate about animals and reptiles in particular and a few months ago I got my first leopard gecko that I like to call Leopold. He's realy cool and sometimes he even hangs arround watching games online with me. Any way since I got him I'm completly crazy about geckos. That is also how I found out about Snakebites TV and the gecko forums. I made the terrarium myselph using hand polished marble pieces in the lower front side. The pieces are slyghtly spaced as to allow air flow. Because he is a very clean animal I also added a little art on the interior like the hand-crafted wooden mushrooms, a labradorite gemstone and other small details while trying at the same time to keep it natural. I'll atach some photos. I know it si a bit crazy but I think it looks ok. I would also like to know what you guys think about it. Here are some images.
I only have one gecko so far, a male, but I am planning to get one or two more females and kind of see where it goes from there. The reason why I insisted a bit on the terrarium is that I think people tend not to focus to much on the the estetic aspects of the terrarium. Of course the main priority is the wellbeing of the gecko, but once those functions are assured there is a lot that can be done in terms of shapes and colores of the interior and of the background that will highlight even more the color and pattern of the geko living inside. After all some people put a lot of time and effort in breeding and producing some amazing paint jobs and I think that with the right cusom-designed terrarium you can create astonishing "micro-worlds". Of course my terrariun should not in any way be taken as an example but designing a terrarium is defiantly something I would like to know more about and maby even get involved in. So what do you think? Can a cusom-designed terrarium make your pet and your room look even better?
