Just a question to all you fellow Rhaco owners out there, how do you over come filling out the height within you enclosures for your Rhacs? Here are a few pictures of what i came up with (below). Just wondering what everyone else uses in their vivariums (pictures would be nice).
(The pictures are of one of my enclosures that houses a 1.3 group of R.Auriculatus)
Oh, its looking clean as i cleaned it out today. The gecko you can see in the picture is my big female who is weighing in at 65grammes (think she is going to lay in the next few weeks)

Good idea mate. More aesthetically pleasing then egg crate! _________________ YSBRYDOLI POBL, GWELLA LLEOEDD

Very nice looking set up!
I'm afraid I keep mine in a sterile type set up, no plants fake or otherwise  _________________

Well here's my Egg Crate set up
Does allow me to keep up to 50 3" cresteds together or even a breeding group of 2.8  _________________

well the egg carton is made from hardwood chopped down in New Caledonia so they should recognise the smell at least  _________________

egg trays seem to work the best overall for breeding big numbers in. Do you use egg trays for all your species of Rhacs? What species do you keep by the way? (That is directed to Scott mainly but everyones answers would be great).
Bet to you have quite a collection of reps!
I was trying to come up with an idea for breeding Rhacs along the lines of egg trays but most visually appealing and easy to clean but as yet i haven't really come up with any on the nail ideas (just the bamboo cane frame with plastic plants on) _________________ Play Hard |

yep, egg carton for all species I have, aurics, ciliatus, Lechies and Chahoua.
It's not the prettiest set up but it's the geckos I enjoy looking at anyway
I did used to use a mass of fake plants in each cage but the results weren't as good as with this set up. _________________
