This Page Contains information and pictures about what equipment you will need or what you could get for your leopard geckos and what it will be used for.


Hides




Hides


Hides are about £10 or again you can make your own (See Vivarium section.) The prices again vary from the more natural looking to the plain looking ones. These are important, as your gecko likes to hide and sleep during the day.


Water Dishes




Water Bowl


around £5-10 or, you can make your own! All you need is something shallow with sides (not too steep and not too deep as your gecko could drown) Prices vary as the more natural ones cost more as the normal (boring) ones cost less. This is obvious as it provides water 24/7 for your gecko.


Lighting




Light Bulb


(depending on whether your vivarium has a fitting for one.) – around £2 a box of 6 bulbs. This will supply a greater deal of heat than the heat mat, which is important



Decorations


around £15 (Depending on how you want it to look.) This is your own personal choice. You can have a desert theme, jungle theme, rainforest theme; it’s your decision. Have a look in pet shops or flower shops as you can buy fake flowers from there too.

Backgrounds - £3.50 per metre. These make the back of your vivarium look better than wood. Look in pet shops for these or reptile centres. If you cant find any try www.livefoods.co.uk and try shopping online for some.

Substrate – Around £2.50 a bag of sand or substrate again try your local pet shop or reptile centre. This is important for the image of your vivarium if you want it plain you can just use free newspaper.







Fake plants and Decor


This is also dependant on you. I have fake leaves and a bit of bark, rocks and i added a ramp in my viv. It depends on you
and how realistic you want it.
