I've been trying to figure out what i want to keep all these geckos i'm aquiring in.  So show me what you keep yours in, especially larger systems, commercial systems and racks.  Post ur displays too.

So far i've got my 5 juvies in an 18x18x24 exoterra tank
a few adult females in a 25g flat back hex
and the rest are critter cages of various sizes, the extra large being my favorite and what i will probably use for most of my adult males.

Here is my favorite--a 67 galllon screen enclosure that I have 2 sides covered with plastic wrap, eco-earth substrate, decorated with live and artificial plants, cork bark, and moss.

Here's what I have right now, but I'm working on getting some additional cages. This is just a brief look, lol.

Babies up to juveniles get their own critter keepers. I have several sizes of keepers from mini's to large and each houses just ONE gecko. I'm pretty set on keeping my geckos separate although alot of people will raise their young up together. Here is an example of one of my shelves.





My Breeders go into the largest Exo-Terras or the Crested Gecko (Reptile Depot) cages. Exo-Terras on the bottom, Crested Gecko cages on top. I keep larger juviniles in kritter keepers on top of the Crested Gecko cages. (Got to use up all available room!)





Quarantine tanks are used in another room, to house new geckos. I use 20 gal high tanks, set up on end with screen lids as doors. These work really well for housing and don't take up as much space as the other cages.





This is what works for me! I'm trying to keep all of my geckos in one room with the exception of the quarantine geckos and my satanics. One of these days I may just have to move everyone into the basement.? Undecided

I really like my exo-terra 18 by 18 by 24. Although, I had to remove the rock background, the crickets were getting behind it, and I also want to get a sturdier chicken wire screen to go on top for added security. (The new screen will be added in conjunction with the existing screen.) I also need to remove the bed a beast because it molds up way too quickly and I found a centipede in it once. I'm not sure if centipedes would be poisonous to juvenile cresteds but I'm not taking any chances.

Yeah, first of all.  Don't use bed a beast or that kind of stuff for juvies or babies, they can become impacted too easy.  And I used a layer of perlite then a piece of screen and then a layer of peat moss.  I don't get any mold because the perlite drains the water.  For juvies and babies, only use paper towels or newspaper.

Sterlite containers have never done me wrong. As my collecton grows, I plan on housing each gecko individually. This will allow me to monitor each gecko on a one to one basis, a valuable ability, IMO. Here's a pic of how I keep my 3.

Sterlite's are great!!!  I just took my breeders out of their big, bulky aquarium today and put them in a big sterlite.
