Lip Curl...New Shoe Box Gecko Enclosure Warning!

[@jessicabella5762]

I think you need to increase your overall room humidity by using a cool mist humidifier

Listened to your interview with Bobby at Gecko Cove. Great job! I'm not a big fan of decreasing ventilation for the geckos. If this work you, that's cool. What I do is put a small hide box in each of the enclosures and have good hydration for the geckos.

Thank you for the great compliment! Love the feedback it helps everyone. I agree with hide box option and encourage others to utilize different hydration methods.

You do you they’re your animals, and I’m sure one of your geckos if not each of your geckos is worth more than my whole collection put together. I just love cresties they are my family I’m not a breeder and don’t get the newest hottest morphs as most of mine are rescues and or morphs that peopled dumped off to make room for the new money makers, but I’ve been keeping them as well as other reptiles and amphibians for decades but i would never or never recommend put any kind of adhesive inside an enclosure especially a humid one as over time it will become a problem at least in my experience and or experiences I’ve read over the years on the old forums. I had a cricket breeder tank when i was a lot younger that i had packing tape to keep them from climbing out the top and it took awhile but eventually fell and became as you said become a really big glue trap. Normally to cover a vent i use micro pore tape if not other means on the outside and put tape sticky to sticky that covers the vent part so its not sticky against the holes and then make the sticky part of the top layer bigger so it sticks to enclosure outside around the holes you’ll have little gaps unless you really make a perfect seal for airflow and micro pore tape itself even sealed although I don’t recommend fully sealed will also let air flow. Hopefully that made sense. Love the channel not talking smack just looking out for the stars of the channel other than the human kid😂 and really like to see your cool morphs❤

Thank you so much for the additional information. I agree with what you have mentioned. I believe everyone should use caution with using anything adhesive inside an enclosure. I should have mentioned that the enclosures are temporary and constantly check the tape for any signs of wear. It's a waterproof tape but that doesn't mean it can't fail over time. I love people to reach out this helps us all. Thank you again ❤️

How do you apply heat? Sit it directly on heat tape?

[@ncgreptiles]

I don't provide heat directly , I have a room heater that is plugged into a thermostat.
