crestie viv pics:- heavily fake planted viv, updated pics

[kirsten]

on wednesday i went out and bought a loads of new plants, to fill a new little exo and add to my lage exo. so i thought i'd share pics of my crested geckos tanks, as i know people ask for them alot.

first up, my females 45x45x60 exo

before:-


tonight:-


the magnatural hide on the right hand wall, is still in the same place, that'll give an idea of how much more cover there is in there. i've added a few more plants, a grape vine, ficus, the green and white thing bottom right, who's name currently escapse me, even though i know it's dead easy... and i rearranged a few of the existing plants too.

next up my juvie males new 30x30x30 exo

i don't have a before pic, but he was in a pretty bog standard faunarium with a plant in for hiding places. but i've not done him a nicely decorated exo to live in till he's old enough to move in with Clove.



thanks for looking, i hope they're liked, and give others some ideas on providing good hiding while maintaining an attractive looking environment.

mostly from the garden centre, i got all of the plants in the little viv, and three of the plants in the large viv for £12!! a heck of a lot cheaper than buying "reptile" branded false plants.
