    Thank you Jen! So i water plants less often then mist the cage every day. With little water i water the plants. okay cool i got it. Thank you i shall try it as we speak. Y'all rule! i love how you guys answer quickly and efficiently.

    too bad you guys don't have a location in Northern Cali, would be great to have one in Sacramento or Roseville, would love to work there... so long as you kept all arachnids away from me :P (some people think it's hysterical to see a 6'10 guy that's got serious arachnophobia)

    Hi I'm getting a giant day gecko next Monday but after watching this I'm confused if the tank I have got for it is right. its an exo Terra 18(h)x24(w)x18(d) so the same dimensions as the one in the video, but on its side. Its also live planted, so is acceptable thanks.

    • @LLLReptile1

      it would probably work, but typically day geckos would prefer more height in their cage.

    • @LLLReptile1
      @LLLReptile1  11 років тому

      No, the absolute smallest I would recommend is an 18 x 18 x 24 - they get up to 12" long, and an 18 cube is just a little too cramped for them.

    How often or how do you drain the water that collects in the hydroballs? I keep hearing making a small pond makes it easiest, but I don't really feel comfortable making a pond for my lined day gecko's vivarium.

    • @LLLReptile1
      @LLLReptile1  10 років тому

      You actually leave the water in there. If there gets to be quite a puddle underneath, you can decrease the amount of moisture you add to the cage for a while. Cutting back misting for a few days usually allows the excess water to evaporate or be absorbed by the plants.
