I find it interesting that you’ve found they try to escape when you go to feed. Personally, my small day geckos will come up to the front when it’s feeding time, and just wait for me to put their food in. Never had one try to escape during feeding or watering time - I’ve even had them come up and eat straight from my hand from time to time. Came back to this video while looking for information on how to rehabilitate day geckos (for some reason I decided to stop and watch hahah), as I was just given a peacock day gecko by a family friend with a slight case of stunting, mbd, and stuck shed. Doing my best to get them up to speed, and hoping they start doing as well as my other little ones soon. Either way, great video, loved all the information you provided! Mine all seem to love having some of the softer broad-leaved hanging false plants to bask on as well, but I definitely agree that going without worked well in this build and was an aesthetically better choice.

Hi! So, if I bought this set-up from your store (which, btw, I don't see an option for), would I get the container, and all the substrate you put in, up to the Paper Back Bark? Seems like I'm best to buy my own container, and then buy everything else separately? That was a long way to say that I'd like to create this terrarium, but I don't see a kit for it in your store. And when watching a video in your store, you put more in the container than was shown in the kit to the left of the video. I'm blonde. It'll all work out...

There is unfortunately no product that you could add to the water to remove calcium, the water should be filtered through reverse osmosis filter. White vinegar will help to dissolve the stains on the glass or an aquarium scraper on a wet glass will do the job. But water conditionner can’t remove minerals from the water just chemicals.
