About to jump.
Image
That thing on the nose is a glob of CGD.
Image
Its about 3.75 inches long.
Image
His/Her house.

Image
Ficus Benjimani. I'll be putting that in once I find a safe potting soil.
New Pics:
Image
I just thought this one was funny.
Image
With the new plant(in the front)

Top view.
New Pics:
Image
New Piece of wood I found out on the lake is in there. Don't worry, I boiled it, then scrubbed it with a bleach solution let dry and then baked it so im pretty sure its safe. And the gecko loves it.
Image
This is the side view, you can see the little guy on the wood :)
Image
Heres another just because.
No sense in buying one from petsmart for $30 when I can get this in the lake for free :-D
Newest Pics:
Image
Before I started it.
Image
A few seconds after start.
Image
Half a minute after start.
Image
Thick fog.
Image
You can see the McDonalds cup the fogger is in.
Image
Left side view with my gecko in the plant.
And if you can tell from the last pic, my gecko has gotten much more color in. His body is darker and the orange is much more intense.
About the fogger: It uses up the water provided in it in about fourty minutes, gets thick fog in a minute, has almost no noise, covers only the floor with fog(to me it looks more natural than filling the tank with it), really really helps the humidity, I accidentally left it on while I was writing this so it got to 90% (so i'm letting it air out a little) And really, it's not as bad as most say it is I would even say it is great if it is used properly. You just have to remember to use RO water or distilled water from a waterbottle or it will build up calcium and minerals inside it and possibly overheat and break. But even then, if you pay attension you can save it by soaking it in a solution(I forgot the ingredients to it but it says in the manual) So overall its great for the price I got it for.(which is $26 I think.)

That is one cute Crestie! How old is he/she?

Setup will be great when that ficus is in there, what are you using as a substrate?

Thanks, I love the pattern and her colors. I don't know how old she is(I bought her from a Petco). Yeah the ficus will be awesome in there and will do well for the humidity, i've got some reptibark in there because I heard its similar to what they live on in the wild. To be safe I put her in the critter keeper to feed crickets because of impaction.

To get an avatar you need to go into your "User Control Panel" and then click on "Profile" then "Edit Avatar". You should then be able to upload one.

If your not able to upload it, it is probably because the image is too big so you might need to re-size it. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks, Vicky :) yours are pretty too.
The pic is too big, how can I make it smaller or even take smaller pictures with my camera?

get an account on photobucket (for free) and then upload the photo you want, then copy the IMG link, put it on as your avatar.
