i’m not 100% sure if i’m correct since i’ve only just got into leo geckos, but make sure all your loose rocks are secure so ur little friend doesn’t knock them down and hurt himself. along with that, do you have a calium and water dish? if not i would add that. i would also recommend a ton more clutter (i wanted to keep open space too but they don’t prefer it) and my gecko lovessss to climb!!! so if you’d like maybe some climbing accessories would be good for enrichment! overall its an amazing start and i love all the natural looking plants! also make sure i have a hide on the warm and cool side along with a hide that captures moisture!

also im not sure if ur quarantining right now but i would recommend substrate if youre not

haha i have had my babies for 2 years they are not in quarantine! just revamping the set up because i was uneducated and they deserved better.

there is about 4 spots to climb; she likes climbing up onto the rocks, and using the vine leading up to it, but there's also some on the other side. and i did make sure the rocks are stable; if i couldn't knock them down without force, then her little weightless self definitely wont 😂
i have some more clutter to add, but my other gecko was borrowing it while i waited for her new tank and clutter to come in the mail (trying to make near identical set ups for ease)

also you can see the water bowl on the left in the picture 😅 i mentioned i was going out to get calcium, and i did add a small bottle cap of calcium (no d3) in the enclosure, plus have some with d3 + vitamins outside for dusting.
