Hello everyone!

I'm Roderick from Malta. Just as an intro I'm still new to the world of Leopard Geckos which I always liked from young age

2 weeks ago I started searching info about these beautiful creatures and met 4 of them here and about. After lots of research I made up my mind and last week I started building my custom Terrarium.

I was going for the 20 gallon long tank dimensions but decided to amend it to 30"x15"x15"

Hopefully it will welcome 2 female Leopard Geckos which of course I still need to buy. As for now I will upload 5 pics per post

Looking good so far. Just make sure there is a spot on the hot side of the tank for your geckos to get their belly heat. You can always cut the floor out in one of the hides to make sure.

Thank you :)

Yes that's the plan! The left cave will be the cool one, in the middle will be the moist one while the one to the right will be the hot side.

Some more pics:

I like that you split it. So much easier to remove and clean that way. Take a look at the last one I did :) I also like that you added the windows to it. For some reason, grouting these projects is always the most fun for me.

Yeah same goes here. When you start grouting you can get a better idea how your project is really pulling off :) I splitted 1/3 and 2/3 to make it more practical for cleaning yes :)

As for the windows. i think it's a nice touch and once again practical to take a peek at them without disturbing hehe.

Where can I find yours please?

This is my latest update for now:
