this simple set up works for most small lizards and this is also a cheap set up.

Oay 2 things are really wrong..

They are called UNDER tank heat mats thats where it should go.

Calcium sand is THE WORST substrate ever. If you want to use sand us only FINE grit play sand.

the reason is The geckos will try to get the calcium from the sand and will could constantly try to lick it causing impaction. not to mention it stains the geckos..

other than tha its set up correctly except you should have a small dish of calcium powder avaliable at all times

[shawnnamanana]

its very dangerouse to out the heat mat in the container!

[sonofjohnrambo]

@shawnnamanana i understand your concern but all my heat mats are controled by thermastates which control the heat to stop the risk of over heating.

the gecko looked to big for his/her hide

The heat mat goes on the outside on the bottom

my lizard live in the pink sand and he hasn't died hes 3yrs old

For all reptiles: They can burn themselves on heatmats or rocks! you have to put it under the tank mate

You might want to get bigger hides and a bigger water dish

[iGottaStupidSwagg]

The sand does look cool BUT causes impaction so it considered a "NO-NO"

[youngvanhalen]

@geckosonthebrain im going to say yes and a no , as one of mine is absolutely fine with it only becuase she was brought up on it and is fed very well so she doesnt need to eat it, if i was u just stick to other substrates like slate or tiles :)
