i have a ten gallon tank that my leapord gecko lives in...i would like to spruce it up a bit...what i had in mind was on the back and to side walls use slate to build nooks and crannys for her to hide in and places to explore...i would build it all the way up to the top of the tank so it would be like a backdrop...
dose anyone have anything like this or have any idea how to build one...if you have pictures please send them in because i know what i want to do i just dont know how to start it...
you just described what you wanted. find those items at the store and place them in the tank.be careful so the rocks, slate or whatever you use doesnt fall on the gecko. they also sell a simular item like your describing at petco i think its plastic and it makes shelfs that look like rock on the back of the tank. before you do all that i would invest in a 20 gallon so he has more room

Oregon Humane Society sorting out animals taken from Newport pet store
09.09.11
NEWPORT – One day after the largest capture of reptiles in Oregon Humane Society 's history, caregivers at the Portland zooid-rescue agency were busy learning just what it takes to keep 30 snakes and lizards ecstatic.
"We have a reptile expert coming today and he is going to go terrarium by terrarium and form a list of what these animals need," said Barbara Baugnon, OHS spokeswoman. "Then we are successful to start shopping to fulfill those needs."
The reptiles were solely some of the animals taken from Circus World Pets Wednesday after a five-month-crave investigation into complaints of neglect. Also seized were 30 birds, 11 puppies, 60 to 70 rats and mice, and 480 fish.
The questioning began in April with a complaint from a customer who had purchased a reptile and felt it had not been well cared for, said Allen Zaugg mammal cruelty investigator for the Oregon Humane Society. An investigator visited the peach on and gave the operator 30 days to correct the problems
A reptile terrarium suitable for an aquatic turtle can be made from an aquarium by adding about six inches of water and making a land area above the water. The land area can be built up from rocks or suitable aquarium decorations and should have a reptile lamp above it to provide heat.
Setting up the Terrarium
The Tank
Make sure you buy an aquarium that is big enough. At least a forty gallon tank is required for an adult turtle. Add about six inches of chlorine and chloramine free water and set up a filter and aquarium heater. External filters are preferable, as turtles can be remarkably curious and may cause themselves damage by investigating an internal heater. In addition turtles produce a great deal of waste so a powerful filter is needed. Hide the heater under some rocks to keep it out of harm's way. It may not respond so rapidly to changes in temperature but that is preferable to causing distress or injury to your pet.
Use a water treatment solution sold in aquarium shops to remove both chlorine and chloramine which are added to water by your water authority. Turtles may eat sand or gravel so do not use these on the bottom of the tank and it will be easier to clean the glass bottom.
You can place a few artificial plants in the swimming area but avoid adding too many or your turtle will not have room to swim around. Do not use live plants as the turtle will eat them. To be healthy you need to make sure the water is clean so ensure the filter works correctly and clean the tank weekly.
The Land Area
The land area can be made from artificial rocks or decorations from a terrarium supply shop or use well cleaned rocks or bricks. An area where the turtle can hide is also needed so make a small artificial cave from rocks, wood or artificial terrarium decorations. Keep the temperature around 80F in the daytime cooling down to around 79F during the night.
Lighting
Attach both a UVB lamp and a full spectrum lamp to the lid. Turtles need UVB radiation in order to keep their bones and shell in good condition. UVB lamps are expensive and generally last only around six months but they are necessary to keep your turtle healthy. Turtles also need sunlight for at least twelve hours a day. You can also provide a basking lamp above the land area.
