My first Leopard Gecko enclosure!

[Awolf]

Hey everyone! I am getting my leopard gecko tomorrow and this is my enclosure for him.

I have the one side with a jungle soil substrate and a bit of moss for a humid hide (the little log) and the right side for a dry hot hide (giant driftwood cave). I also have one more hide on the way to keep as a cooler dry hide. I was also considering getting some garden stones to place around the tank to add more varying terrain for him but haven't done so yet.

For equipment I have a thermometer on either side of the tank to monitor the temps as well as a humidity monitor. A temp gun to make sure none of the surfaces get hot enough to burn him. A mister bottle. The heat lamps are both in dimmers so I can control the heat better and I also got a heat mat for under the tank.

For food I got him small dubia roaches, small mealworms, reptile calcium, and vitamins. A small dish for feeding and a small dish for water.

Super excited for him to arrive tomorrow! I saw a lot of conflicting information online so I'm hoping I got him everything he needs to be happy and healthy. This is my first leopard gecko so criticism/advice is of course welcome!

It looks like a very fun tank for a leopard gecko. If you have a heat mat I really don't think you need a heat lamp as well. It may get the air too hot and dry to be comfortable. I assume you're going to use the mister to moisten the humid substrate as opposed to misting the whole cage.

Thank you! That is good to know. And yea, I was going to use the misting bottle to keep the substrate side moist so he can choose which side he wants to be on.

Thank you! I got really lucky and won a raffle at a local reptile shop so I got to pick out a few big items I had my eyes on. (The big driftwood piece and the mossy mushroom with the bridge)

I brought him home yesterday where he mostly hid but I caught him exploring throughout the night so he seems to be enjoying it!
