Leo’s all bioactive

Although my beardie Spike hated his new bioactive enclosure and to keep him happy, I undid it, my sweet little leopard gecko’s seem to quite pleased with theirs. My special little Kirby was a bit confused at first, but he took pretty quickly to it. Of course all are in their hides when I took pics. Thanks to @jamest0o0 for some beautiful isopods.
The one I did at the beginning of the year is looking great. It’s a bit of a bigger tank so I was able to fit more in. Also, I used Great Stuff foam and did the back and the sides. Handsome loves it!

Tandy has a few more plants than Kirby. I used Gorilla glue and coco coir on just the back wall. A couple of unimaginative little ledges for a little climbing.

I admit I pretty much did these the same. Kirby’s plants are much smaller and fewer. Used a sprig of fake grass to hide his thermometer probe cord. Had the perfect piece of cork bark to give him a way to climb to and between his ledges. Feeding him may be a challenge. Besides jaw misalignment from mbd, I wonder if his vision is impaired as he very often seems to misjudge where the bug is. He’s never been able to figure out eating from a bowl. As I said, he’s my special little guy.

I had wanted to put some plants on the back wall, but ran out of Gorilla Glue and plants. In time I may add more.
And here are my sweet leos.

I always set my Leo's up with a bioactive setup...before I even knew what that was! Did the same for most of my reptiles...but not chameleons or leaf tailed geckos.
 
Decided I didn’t like the latter 2 enclosures I did plus I wanted to give Tandy and Kirby more space. Still waiting on some plants and backdrops. Yes, both are almost identical...my creativity has it’s limits. I made the hides from Great Stuff and grout. Was hoping to make some larger features but wasn’t sure about getting the larger enclosures until late in the game. Also unable to make the little hills I wanted as I ran out of substrate. Old enclosures were 12x30”. New ones are 18x36”.
Kirby wasn’t very into exploring. He found his hide and was happy to look out his window.

Tandy was much more into exploring every last inch.

Still pretty happy with Handsome’s enclosure after about a year, though might get him some new plants.
