What do you think? (bioactive terrarium)

[JustaGirlWhoLovesGeckos]

Hey all! So I just set up my first bio active terrarium about a month ago it houses my adult crested gecko named mango. the tank has a rather large Pothos plant a little fern and a medium sized snake plant I have a huge center piece driftwood as well as smaller prices of branches for the substrate I use eco earth as well as lots and lots of different types of mosses I have a humid hide which is just a terra cotta pot with moist moss I also (for decoration and so the mangohas something to climb in) have slate rocks just placed around the terrarium I have a full spectrum light for the pants and of course a screen lid I didn’t say this at the beginning but the tank is 20 gallons I am currently remodeling it a bit so I will have better pictures in a few days.

Looks good. What kind of gecko are you going to put in there?

In my opinion, a 20 gallon enclosure is small for an adult crestie. I did have cresties in enclosures of that equivalent size (12x12x18) and they consistently did much better in 18x18x18 or 18x18x24,

Ah I see I used to have cresties in a 30 gallon and they were always huddled up in one place or had trouble finding thier food so I decreased the size.

That's really interesting. I guess it depends on the crestie!
