(Ignore all of the stuff on the top of the enclosure, I had literally just finished setting it up 20mins prior, all of that was removed after the picture was taken. 😭) This is a 40gal tank, she has a halogen 75watt heat lamp, an arcadia T5 7% UVB fixture, a warm side of 90F and cool side of 75F, basking spot of 98F and warm hide 86F, humidity of 70-80%, a mix of reptisoil, sanatized/sifted scott’s topsoil, and sand (70% soil, 30% sand) lots of cork, branches, a walking grapevine, leaf litter, quarantined/sanitized plants (pothos, fittonia, and peperomia) clean up crew featuring powder blue isopods and temperate white springtails. Mochii has been noticeably more vibrant, active, and even ate the day after so she adjusted extremely fast and well!

(Oh also the thermometer/hydrometer has been acting up (hence the crazy looking numbers) I have been monitoring the temps with a heat gun and I have a spare hydrometer but it isn’t digital, a new one is coming in the mail as we speak!)

I plan on adding black vinyl along the sides to help make her feel more secure!

Critiques/advice is encouraged, please lmk if anything should be changed/added! 💗

(I apologize for the rushed/blurry photos :’))

How little man looked at me when I got home from work today :) I wish his tiny little silly lizard brain could understand just how loved her is.

Hi, my African fat tailed gecko has some weird stuff around her mouth and it won’t come off. She wasn’t eating for a week or two but now she’s starting to eat normally again. I’m not sure if the two are related but I just want to know what that stuff is around her mouth. Does any one have any experience with this?
