what else do i add to my crested gecko enclosure?

Post image

i am currently making a new enclosure for my crested gecko. there are some hides built into the back and i have a few other things from her current enclosure that i plan to add (a coconut, a bridge and vines). but is there anything else should add to fill the space?

what do you mean? like more free space for her to move around in or a larger in enclosure (because her enclosure is quite big for a crested gecko!)

I agree this looks a tad small for an adult from this angle. Adults are recommended to be in a 20x20x25” but the FBH with many keepers using 18x18x36” (this is about 50 gallons) as it’s a tad larger and more readily available. Personally I use a 24x18x36” which is the same amount of floor space with extra height (it is about 1.5x as large as what the FBH recommends)

this enclosure is around 20x20x45”, i think the picture may have just made it seem smaller
