In this video, I guide you through the process of building a beautiful vivarium inspired by the forested habitats of Southeast Asia. The end result features a unique ecosystem comprised of live plants, microfauna, and three Emerald Tree Skinks (Lamprolepis smaragdina) who call this vivarium home!

I love how many hiding spots you gave them. It seems less convenient from a pet owner standpoint (you might not be able to find them when you want to, and they have to come to you on their terms), but its way more enriching and healthy for the animals themselves. Beautiful work!

Amazing setup! Not dissimilar to mine, but it seems simpler to put together and looks better. I think im over the expanding foam background method 😅 One addition I'd recommend! A heat mat attached to the side at the bottom against the substrate layer. My female always lays right next to the pad. I'm garbage at artificial incubation so I just started leaving them. Up to 12 babies now 😊 Great video as always!

These suckers make such incredible pets! They're amazing. How long do they live in captivity? It would be so great to have a trio of these for twenty years. It would suck when they all but one died though. It would be so lonely.

@medusianAllure 4 месяца назад

I'm looking to re-do my chinese cave gecko enclosure. Normally, he can be found in one of the hides and he's made some burrows. He sometimes crawls up the cork bark, but he never climbs up the leaned branches for more verticle spaces. As another non-sticky toed lizard, is it worth having more upper, horizontal space, or should I focus on building a solid underbrush with more things to crawl on/in?

@kaylaroach 4 месяца назад

Both! Offer a variety of hardscape, foliage, and botanicals at the bottom of the enclosure, along with thick, textured, sturdy hardscape in the upper portion of the enclosure. It’s better to maximize their usable space, rather than limit them to the base of the enclosure. Worst case scenario, they don’t use it. But it makes the enclosure look more natural and elaborate, and you can feel good knowing that your gecko has the freedom of choice! I have another build video on my channel where I create a Thailand-inspired vivarium for my Thai Bent-Toed Gecko. You might find inspiration for your Cave Gecko enclosure! 😊

what dgr heat they like ?..n would they like a heat mat ???

@kaylaroach 4 месяца назад

No heat mat. I use a halogen bulb to attain a surface basking temperature of approximately 95°F. They have an ambient temperature gradient from the 80’s (at the top of the enclosure) to the 70’s (at the bottom of the enclosure). I recommend reading the care guide on ReptiFiles if you’re interested in more husbandry information!
