In Reply to: Okay....sorry one more question. posted by Gecko2525 on December 12, 2002 at 12:59:51:

If you want to save money you can buy rubbermaid containers for really cheap. It only costs me like around $12 per cage that can fit several geckos. If you need a light fixture all you have to do is cut the inside of the lid leaving only the rim and hot glue gun aluminum screening to the top. It surprisingly works very well. And if your worried about furniture you can get branches from outside, and sterilize them. Wash them off good then heat in oven at 200-250 for like 35 minutes. You can also use paper towel rolls for hiding areas.Use paper towel as bedding.Not pretty, but this saves soooo much money and is really convenient. I only have one nice glass cage, but it is harder to clean out and is worthless at holding heat in. Hope this helps.

:I have a 9 month old female and the other 2 are 14 months.
:Should I not put my little 9 month female in with the older girls. Maybe that way only 2 females will be in the 25 gallon.
:Maybe I have no problem buying another tank it is all the stuff that goes along with it eg. Screen lid, furniture, more cleaning. etc. I was trying to keep as much space as possible for the babies.
:Well I will have to work out something I guess!
:Thanks for all your help.
