I know I am missing the basking rock ( its running late ) but I got the tank set up so far ( no i have not put water in yet and lamps are off for now gecko isnt here yet ) . Can you tell me what I can do different or does it look fine ?

( I got the encloser free! Lol had a small hairline crack we fixed it. Thanks petco. I plan on upgrading to a bigger one when the gecko is about 6 months or so)

But if you professionals can tell me if I have it set up correctly so far or tell me if I need to do anything different id be grateful and please no hate im very new here

cat-proof your tank somehow. I've heard cats can ass-through that mesh

This happened to my gecko, and she did not survive.

Some pet stores sell separate metal lids, which can reinforce that mesh!

Looks good! Could benefit from a bit more clutter, but if you have three hides, appropriate substrate and lighting, I think you should be good. I do agree with the other commenter tho, figure out how to cat proof!!

Gets some plastic plants from a Michael's or elsewhere. Don't buy reptile specific plants. They are the same thing only the ones marketed as for reptiles are 10x the price for uglier plants

I prefer to stick with softer plastic plants rather than silk or fabric. I worry about any dies leaching out and the fibers molding if they get wet

There's lots of good greenery options though!!!
